The Yardbirds - Mister Your A Better Man Than I - Live

This was an audio clip given to me by somebody a while ago, I lost their name and # so I cannot give them credit, I don't even know what year this is, Its not very good quality but its a good listen.

For those of you who dont know the Yardbirds, im not going to get into the whole Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin relationship/history, lets just say that the Yardbirds were "Pre-Zeppelin", (Hence Jimmy Page).

Band Lineup at this time:

Jeff Beck
Jim McCarty
Chris Dreja
Jimmy Page
Keith Relf

Its not very good quality, so turn your speakers up loud or put on some headphones... its well worth it, trust me... Enjoy!

Ben King is a really lacking guitarist.

Fuck...I play these Yardbirds songs with more balls in my basement than this guy does on stage.

I am suprised you would actually learn these old songs but that is cool that somebody is doing it

[Ravenite1]

@Ravenite1 Hi, my interpretation is that the lineup is as per the picture and list above; with Jeff Beck on lead and Jimmy Page on 2nd or co-lead which was circa 1966 as per their appearance in the art movie " Blow Up ". This is a great live version; I love the lead / co-lead guitar work here ! Thanks for uploading. Regards.

Somebody else said they thought it was Ben King on guitar, so that's where the comment came from...

I emailed Ben King on Facebook, telling him he lacked balls in his playing...he got very emotional about it.

@craneo2099

Yeah - I hear it now...it's definitely Idan singing.

[craneo2099]

@asmorgan88 yeah man you're right ben king guitar is powerless but in this isn't ben king, on vox is definetely John Idan with Mccarty and Dreja

I supousse is a Early 90's recording i think is Ray Majors, but who knows??

[Ttrgrmmtn]

too fast

[GRIGORISTHEGREEK]

i have the live version on cd with Page and it kicks ass, this version here sucks... asmorgan88, you're 100% right nd i do too haha
