They weren't bad for a bunch of white boys back in the sixtys. Thanks for a chance to hear them again. I remember hearing a version of Smokestack Lightin' Eric Clapton did by himself that was killer too, but I don't see it up anywere. Anyway, love your show.

To each his own. I love the Yardbirds but don't like Led Zeppelin. To me they are quite distinct even though they may have come fromm the same root.

All I can say about this great,great band et al is posted on the video for "Shapes Of Things".........wonderful stuff,heartache in memories in knowing these days may be gone ,yet somehow I feel there will be those even in years to come who will recognise these "real" bands as being something rather more special in their day than the "made-up" stuff and "rap" of today.....even though I honestly DO see that there is good stuff amongst that,too...but very different,I think.

We played this way back in the 60's. What memories! Got to see the Yardbirds live when Eric Clapton was playing. No MP3 players... No CD's... No Computers... No cell phones... Hardly a Color TV then... Just records and LOTS OF BASS!! :-)

Just think, Eric Clapton was all of 19 years old when this was recorded. The very sound of this recording was not something that was really ever heard by mass audiences in America. It's ironic that, in many ways, it took an English band to expose America to a major part of its own culture. In a few years, it would be so well known as band after band caught onto this magic sound called the blues. And it had been brewing for so many years right in our own back yard.

Yeah, It's usually done to show the musical statement, that the artist playing it likes the song...
