@JoeKoOhNo exactly. 4 of the greatest British guitarist, road Eric's coattails to fame (I'm saying anything about who was better, just all 4 of them were relatively unknown until they were in a slot Eric vacated
That's Jeff Beck Playing lead guitar on this Eric Clapton was long gone by this time. Jeff invented the sound and style he's playing in. For some reason they dubbed this recording onto the video and it gives a false impression that Clapton was involved in this recording, which is absolutely ridiculous since he couldn't have possibly have come up with this style or sound since Jeff Beck created it after he replaced Clapton. The band reached their ultimate peak thanks to the many innovations that Jeff pioneered.
Beck was only "the" lead guitarist for a couple of months. A little while after he joined, Page, filled in on bass for a short while and when he wasn't needed in that capacity any longer, he joined the group as a guitarist. It wasn't a rhythm/lead situation it was dual leads. IMO Jimmy had at least as much to do with their sound as Jeff. And actually, Jimmy was the first choice to replace Eric. He declined and recommended Jeff
this band led by keith relf rip were pioneers with stones animals and the kinks as pioneers in rhythm n blues and rock. a springboard for bigger things 2 come
Analog tape RULES. Digital will always have those gaps that our subconscious mind senses. They've done tests where they hooked sensors on ppl, played an anolog version of a song and then played a digitized version of the same song. They observed that the digital version produced physiological stress responses in the human body. We sense the spaces that digitization creates and it messes with us, coz it's unnatural. The human brain is amazing.
Ben... I'm assuming you're around 70 now? Rock on, brotha! I was born the year the Yardbirds formed. What an incredible phenomenon they were. Just amazing. Still mind-blowing to this day. If more kids today were exposed to this music, they'd realize how truly pathetic the stuff they're being force fed today really is. My 11 year old is not among the ones missing out. I'm passing it on to him. 🤘👍
KoolHandJuke Nearly 68. My wife (same age) saw them with an older friend in 64 or 65 in concert with loads of other groups on a UK tour. Each band would do about 4 songs and then change over.
EC started so many good bands but he just could never hang with the popular direction they were eventually heading and kept striking out in a new direction always playing what he wanted to. I'm so glad he survived. I thought for sure back then that he would go the way of Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison. Thank you Eric for all the years!
Yeah thank Eric...thanks for the concert that cost me a week's wages where you were strung out on something and played 4 songs for an hour completely out of time with your backing band with your back to the audience. Thanks for that, Eric.
@@ronaldolaquidara64 I think they did at some rock and roll hall of fame induction or a charity get together. The real trick would be to get their original guitarist, Top Topham, to make it a foursome. Top was good, but not to the level that the other three are.

According to sources on the yardbirds in the song called I'M A MAN it's actually Jimmy Page that did the lightening fast guitar riffs right towards the end because this song is his and he's doing the fast riffs here not Eric Clapton.
Clapton did a live version in 64. This is the 65 studio version recorded in the U.S. with Beck doing the riffs. Page came later, and it's a Bo Diddely song.

Maybe the famous grifter Sonny Boy Williamson II, the guy who copyrighted a ton of old Blues tunes he didn't write because they weren't copyrighted by anyone up to then? I'd have to look, but I'm pretty sure I have the album were they backed him.
Keith Relf was a great singer and "harp" player. This is blues bordering on the psychedelic, an exciting time that was all too short

They were a precursor to what would become heavy metal.

Right. This was the single released in the US as well as on ....Rave Up side 1. Side 2 has the earlier live Clapton version.

Jeff Beck plays on this studio version. Clapton plays on the "Five Live Yardbirds" version. The Who also recorded a slower version on their 1st album.
