The Yardbirds: Live Yardbirds Featuring Jimmy Page

John Morthland, Phonograph Record, November 1971

THE YARDBIRDS must be one of the most oft-recorded live groups. There's the 1963 set at the Marquee available on a British import (parts are on the American Rave Up LP), the Sonny Boy Williamson/Eric Clapton workout circa 1966, and, now, this one. It offers plenty of evidence as to why the Yardbirds recorded live so often.
