The Yardbirds? Man, you go way back.
way, way, (way) back. i once heard the beatles live (at the west side tennis club stadium in forest hills--sometime in the early 60's--i can't even remember what year it was--senility setting in as i type these very words).
i heard cream on their first american tour, and likewise zeppelin.
i stopped listening to rock about 1972, so i have no idea what happened after that.
now i listen to jazz and opera.
