If the original Yardbirds were still intact, I doubt that they would sound this good. Every clip I see of this lineup is great, with every member making their mark. I also love Godfrey Townsend's playing and sound. That latter point, sound, is critical here and he nails it. This band deserves bigger and more important stages as well as a brighter spotlight. The Yardbirds were, after all, one of the very most influential bands of the 60s.
I know that Jim McCarty is the only original member of the band playing here, but this bunch really put on a great, authentic, show. This is fun watching and hearing songs that I grew up with, performed by a group of talented musicians.
Saw Yardbirds maybe 10 years ago with few different guys..... these guys are terrific!!

Guessing he's got a Tone Bender there.
