As a kid who grew-up with the Beatles, I always preferred the music & musicianship of the Yardbirds.
“For Your Love” hooked me on my first listen...even with a very subdued and almost non-existent guitar. It was part of why Clapton left the group.
I saw the Yardbirds at the Pinnacle in Los Angeles, from close up. Sadly, I was so whacked, I remember little of it.
