    The Yardbirds were so far head of most rock bands of that era. My favorite songs from them were Shapes Of Things, and Happenings 10 years time ago! Its so sad what happened to Keith Relf.

      Absolutely! It was listened to closely by the guys in Aerosmith when they were first starting out. Great band that should’ve been bigger. Jeff Beck would later say the biggest mistake he made with them was breaking up the band just before a big festival they were booked for, the festival was Woodstock

    There was a period of time when this was IT This was the most interesting thing to listen to. And I was listening to this in '79, I only heard stuff on the radio, but when I found out Jimmy Page was in this old '60's band it intrigued me and I found that Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton were in the group. The best lineup was with Clapton when they did 'Smokestack LIghtning', but this song 'I'm a Man' was something else.They got me into more purist blues rock stuff when I was into Prog Rock.

      They were not in the band at the same time. They had a series of four guitarists.
      1) Anthony Topham
      2) Eric Clapton
      3) Jeff Beck
      4) Jimmy Page
      When they split up Page was under contract for a few more gigs so he recruited Robert Plant and John Bonham from Band of Joy
      and session musician John Paul Jones. They played the shows as the New Yardbirds and then became Led Zeppelin.

    Jim thanks for posting your performance with the YB's. Most of us seem to forget that many groups are meant to be heard live to capture the "feel." You have to have been there to feel it. This track along with "Shapes" are perhaps the signatory ones for the group. Compressing from ~100 dBA to ~45dBA from a such video sound source won't allow a typical Hi-Fi rendition of 60-70dBA... with a 500Hz RIAA roll-off; state of the art for vinyl at the time - for the techies out there.

It started when the would listen to Top Topham's dad's record collection; they picked up on Charlie Parker, Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker and a bunch more. The band started to experiment with it during Top's last summer with the band, 1963, then Eric came on and took it further, but when the band went pop, EC said STOP! and left for Mayall.

    We had to buy expensive tv-sets, for the luxury of watching a flimmering, 10-minute show, once a week.
    We had the choice of either TV1 or TV1. It's hard to remember now, but Sweden was then at the bottom of the technology heap.
    ABBA cleared the fog a little bit, during the late 1970's, but the country was still a severly retardet child until 1994, when digital tv made it's entrance.

      @@Baz-Ten-Sounds It's a mime. I know the cut-through and through. It was what was done on such shows back then. They'd mime the record. The problem is the poor sound quality of the film's audio recording.

      It's a mime of the recording. It's due to the poor audio quality of the tape. Almost all shows like this had the bands pretend to play. Ed Sullivan was the only exception I can think of.

    This was after Jimmy Page left and Eric Clapton was gone earlier. Rock on ,Jeff! I met Pagey,and Beck with the Yardbyrds back in 1966 at an Armory dance outside LaPorte,Indiana . I went out back during their break and gave Pagey a "stick", cigarette.They chatted with us for awhile and went back in to play. They wore little berets.Nice chaps,then.

      Sorry. Jimmy joined after this and they played dueling lead guitars for a while. Then Beck left and Pagey stayed on for a short time.

      Like ALL forms of music it R&R has a base and we consider this a branch of the base or roots. A tree grows in many directions. Some branches are longer and stronger and some are prettier. Rock music is nothing but a branch from the tree of blues rhythm and wither thou roll....

      mattyp3400 You have to remember that after WW II, life in England was still quite Hard. The Music was mesmerizing because they felt it was speaking to them. Also, this is an "American" Show, not British. Just for fun, Type in Coronation St. Episode One and see the Neighborhood the Folks lived in, it was very similar to where alot of British Musicians lived in. Give The Brits their Props. They have been always the Most Supportive of Black Artists, they knew who The Funk Brothers were before anybody else did and it was The Brits that helped Blues Singers when they fell on Hard Times in America. Buddy Guy, Bo Diddley, and even Muddy Waters can attest to that fact.

      Well we aren't COMPLETELY stupid here in the UK: we tend to know A Good Thing when we see it/hear it, too !
      Cyril Davies, Alexis Korner and John Mayall took the Blues ball from the late Fifties - and ran with it, eventually helping to give it an 'English' spin.
      And that was especially true of the Stones - who sort of took the Blues 'back' to the white youth of America.
      Keith Richards once famously remarked that when he mentioned 'Muddy Waters' to young white kids in the States in the mid-Sixties, the usual response was "Where's that ?" !!!
      Like I keep saying - Anglo-American popular culture at its best !
      At least, it was - in the Sixties and Seventies.
      Vaya con Dios !
