I think the singer on this video, Keith Relf died later playing an ungrounded electric guitar.
And Jeff Beck too.
Vanilla Fudge too.
Great music!!!!
1968. Did that Jimmy Page guy have a career after that? I should look in Where Are They Now. Ex Yardbirds like Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck got later jobs somewhere I think, maybe at oil change places or something.
Think of music history without the Yardbird and John Mayall’s musicians. Thinned out.
Mayall’s guitarists: Clapton, Mick Taylor, Walter Trout....
This was posted a month ago or so. Some Zeppelin hating FReeper said Page stole the song.
I had to let him know Page wrote it. And after The Yardbirds called it quits they told Page it was all his.
Clapton was briefly in tge group. Beck quit not long after Page came on.
The founders were not happy with the studio pushing short radio play songs. They wanted to do more substance.
I saw Led Zeppelin live in 1975. Page used a bow during the performance of D&C.
I’ve never heard of that song before. Judging from the title, it must be a ballad about the life and career of Kamala Harris.
Worth it just to see Jimmy playing a Telecaster.
They never recorded it, and broke up soon after this appearance. Jimmy Page was the Yardbirds third guitarist (after Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck), and when they broke up, he put together "The New Yardbirds" in what would become Led Zeppelin. If you want to see some early LZ performances, check out "Becoming Led Zeppelin" on netflix. It starts out with the breakup of the Yardbirds and covers the formation and first couple years of Led Zeppelin.
Yeah he had bad heart arrythmia which made him unable to survive an electric shock most people would shake off.
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
Ladies?
