    I saw the Yardbirds LIVE about 6 months earlier in LaPorte ,Indiana ,USA with Jimmy and Jeff Beck (R.I.P.). Jeff left the group after the U.S. Tour. I was taking a break during their gig at the National Guard Armory ,outside, when Pagey came out and asked me for a "stick", cigarette. I was smoking Kool menthols ,which he said were his favorite .Lent him a smoke and we chatted a while and then he went back inside to do another set. They were amazing and I could stand 6 feet from Pagey while he and Jeff did their dueling guitar work. Jeff got pissed at his guitar rig and slammed his guitar into his speaker cab. The dance only cost about $1.50 to get in and got our hand stamped . I have had an amazing life since and saw Pagey live with Zeppelin too ,in 1975 at Long Beach Arena, soon after my woman and I hitch hiked from here in north Indiana to southern California with 50 dollars, a suit case, and duffel bag. I am 74 today.. The Zeppelin tickets were only $10.50 each and they played for 3 hours and 20 minutes. It was Heaven and I got to hear early "Kashmir" since the album was released before the gig. Peace & Love. Rory in north Indiana , November, 2023.

    From a guitarist/historian's perspective, this is actually an incredible piece of footage. If I'm seeing right, JP is playing his legendary Telecaster that he would've acquired about a year before this performance from Jeff Beck. For those who don't know, this telecaster would go on to record the entirety of Zep I, as well as the timeless solo on "Stairway to Heaven". Jimmy heavily modified this guitar over the late 60's, as it appeared in multiple forms throughout his early career with the Yardbirds, and then subsequently in Led Zeppelin.
    Based off the dates and appearances here, this concert would prove to be a transitional period for this guitar, as this would be post-circular reflective mirrors, but pre-dragon paint, plus it still retains its original white finish. The pick-guard looks to already have its reflective surface underneath it, clearly setting the stage for what would be more creative inspiration for JP to strip the finish and paint the dragon. Starting at 10:40 we get a wonderful close-up view of the guitar, reflective pick-guard, sans-mirrors.
    Very few photos/videos exist of the mirrored-version of the guitar, I'm not sure I've ever seen photo/video evidence of the transitional era between mirrors and dragon artwork. This, to me, is quite profound. We're witnessing arguably the most legendary, recognizable guitar, in its creative embryonic stages, preparing itself to become one with music history. Hope I'm not the only one that recognizes this.

      The Tele is actually in it's post Mirror stage here. This configuration is the one he had for the shortest time. It went from all white with a white pickguard, to white with mirrors, to white with no mirrors and the reflective guard (as seen in this video) to the dragon paint job with the reflective pickguard.
      Side note, I think page never sounded better than when he played the tele. I love Zeppelin and what he did once he got the Les Paul but his playing style changed and I always preferred his yardbirds era and pre April '69 tone and playing to anything else he did

I think it was Pete Townsend who christened them Led Zeppelin, unintentionally, when he once famously and facetiously told Jimmy Page “You’re going to go over like a lead zeppelin”.

      Keith Relf being drunk would not be a new thing. It was him being drunk and insulting the audience at a major university gig that prompted bassist/producer Paul Samwell-Smith to quit the band. Fortunately, Jeff Beck had invited his friend Jimmy Page to that gig, and Jimmy offered to take over bass duties.
      Also, Relf was an asthmatic who had breathing problems. One can assume that treatment in the 60s wasn't what it is today (i.e., inhalers etc.), so it is very possible he self-medicated with non medicinal meds of the day.

      They did some great songs though and their music was well before its time. Sometimes blues influenced, sometimes psychedelic, sometimes a mix. Keith Relf's singing sounds a bit flat here at times but they had technical problems too. Jeff Beck tells the story that the first time Jimmy Page came to see the Yardbirds, from the first line of the first song, Keith Relf fell over backwards into the drummer due to being drunk. Jeff Beck apologised to Jimmy Page for that but Jimmy thought it was great 'cool'.

      Either way, Page was in a box in this band, but it must have been a formative experience. It's funny, next to the other guys he's already in 1969. The last man in probably didn't have much to say about the direction of a band that was flaming out. Still love the Yardbirds.
