"Smokestack Lightning" .... a Yardbirds song for years. An old blues song by Howling Wolf? Clapton played it on "Five Live Yardbirds"

One of those dudes.

What's really cool in how Page totally gave the tune its edge on LZ's first album.

He was a 24 year old producer who decided to have the song follow immediately after "You Shook Me" without a pause - trippy!
