Must be Jimmy Page on guitar. What's a player got to do to get some face time on the video?

Who says you can't "A Go Go" to the Blues? I believe I detect a variety of dance moves including The Jerk, The Shake, The Mashed Potato, The Monkey, The Swim and maybe even a little Boogaloo.
Here is the Yardbirds version of the Muddy Waters classic "I'm a Man":

I guess what struck me about Beck smashing his guitar was that it is a trademark Townsend move, why would he want to imitate it in a movie? Maybe it was the director's idea.
I'm sure Vox was thrilled with the "publicity".
Here's a later (1967) Yardbirds clip with Jimmy Page playing his silver spot telecaster. This was probably shot not long before the Yardbirds fell apart and Jimmy recruited Plant, Bonham and Jones into "The New Yardbirds" and the launch of Led Zepplin.

the crashing idea has a Pete Townsend copyright, as far as I know.
the amp seems to be a Vox 50W top (really nice to see they used 2*12 Vox boxes for the front as well) I had the trapez 30w version and problems just like Jeff, but couldn't afford his way of solving it

The song is Stroll On from 1966:
Here are my questions:
1. What model of guitar is Jeff playing?
2. What model of amp fails on stage?
3. Where did Jeff get the idea to smash his equipment out of frustration?
4. Why doesn't Jimmy seem bothered by Jeff's antics?
5. Where is Michael Palin who is reputed to be in the crowd?
BTW, Blow Up was the first British film to feature full female frontal nudity.
Guess they wanted to cash in on "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll".
