To all concerned there is a studio version of "Dazed and Confused" I have it on "Cumular Limit"- Yardbirds CD! THIS CONTAINS MOST OF THE YARDBIRDS SPRING '68 RECORDING SESSION! This also contained "As Long As I Have You" Equals "Tangerine" but this unfortunately was pulled from CD by Jim McCarty & Chris Dreja! Still catering to Page and his FEARS that this intended Album sounds like the first 4 lps from Led Zeppelin in one as here's an EXCELLENT record that would DEFINETLY been for history! OUCH

[Yardbird68]

@AEDC49 Thanks for the post, but I must correct you concerning

Cumular Limits, the track Dazed and Confused is NOT a studio version, but is a LIVE performance from France 1968, at the Baton Rouge show, you can find this performance on YT. But thanks for the post anyay!

Jake Holmes!

@StupidGoodProduction - Yes!!! The Yardbirds were true to JH's original version and meaning of being Dazed and Confused, especially the lyrics......unlike Zep.

@Yardbird68 Previous to 2001, Holmes had been unaware that the Yardbirds even covered it until receiving a copy of their Anderson Theatre performance.

"The Yardbirds' 'Dazed & Confused' is really good. I understand what 'garage' people see in all this craziness. I like their version much better than Led Zeppelin's," Holmes said.

[Yardbird68]

@paintedship - yeah...thanks for included what Holmes himself said to interviewer Will Shade concerning his liking the Yardbird version over Zeps. I agree 110%!!!

Those are some rare photos!! Yeah, the sound is not great, but there is so little from that era, we have to cherish everything & just imagine how great it would have sounded & looked if we were there!!

your welcome

Excellent, I love this. Personally, I'm still a Zep guy though.

There's a scary face hovering over top of Page at 2:00/2:01! If you look closely, you can see the eyes, and the mouth with the bared teeth is right about the neighborhood of cheek-level to him! Off to the left.

No, really, do you see it? It's black like the background but just a lighter black. You can see the left eye really well. Maybe that's all you can see. But I see all the other stuff, too. Pretty creepy!

Page sure is a monster-talent, though! He really stands out in this band.

@Yardbird68 . . . and here they are just like Holmes' lyrics. Might be one of the best unknown covers.

in my opinion zeps version is so much better...

[Rocky54167]

As much as i love and they are one of my Led Zeppelin i do like the yardbirds version of the song better mainly because it is more similar to the original, and jimmy page finally has what is coming to him for stealing the song! Jake Holmes is sueing for COpyright Infringement!!!

[NeverAloneForever]

@Yardbird68 Now he's suing Page, right?
