This is the most badass heavy version of Smokestack i have ever heard them play. I think headbanging was invented by the Yardbirds with Smokestack Lightning and many other tunes they played. If only bands in different genres like: punk, grunge, thrash, heavy rock, that Yardbirds unknowingly spun out, would have stayed truer to the Yardbirds' sound instead of going for shittiness. Music would b better if musicians would have payed more attention to the creators.
Clapton was marvelous with the Yardbirds and up to around 1971. Beck was my fav Yardbirds guitarist because he fit well for what they represented during their most popular time. Eric was great for the bluesy, rockin', hoppin', raves. Keith Relf is god, not Eric. Clapton is only blessed with talent and he used to play some of the most structured and perfect guitar solos. Relf endured through great personal struggles. Health problems mostly.
@ClubMarquee He was there from the beginning and one of those guys who never got the credit he deserved. He took many great photos of the the band and was Gomelsky's right hand man when it came to promoting the Yardbirds..

i think Clapton is playing a Telecaster at this show, not the semi-hollow pictured. Who really cares?!

Hamish was a good friend of mine and the reason why I went to St Martins.
Hamish did the YaRdbiRdS logo and the pics.
RIP a good man. Never forgotten.
