Recordings
and setlists.
These
are recordings purported to be from the National Jazz festival.
The problem is that
at least two- Mayall and Jeff Beck, , have cirulated for years labelled as being
from Reading .The Jeff Beck set I have from Windsor 67 is identical to two others
which are labelled Sunbury 1968 and Reading
68. Who knows which is correct, I've added them here in the hope the
original taper comes forward to clear up the doubts.

Personnel.
Jeff Beck - Vocal and lead guitar
Ron Wood- bass
Rod Stewart- vocals.
Aynsley Dunbar - drums
This is a high energy set from Beck and the boys, of surprisingly good recording quality considering its outdoors and the PA was reputedly very quiet and had constant problems during the festival. There are a few minor distortions on the vocals during Hi Ho , but the rest of its very good. Rod Stewart is in fine voice and its definitely worth looking for if you are collector of early Beck performances.
This would not appear to be the entire performance, its only about 20 minutes long. Its likely they played more, if you have the rest of the set or know where I can find it ,then please Contact us.
