The Yardbirds are an interesting band. Both historically and musically they were amazing. Not just their own output wich was great, but also what they led to. The elephant in the room: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were all in this band as lead guitarist. There are rumours of there being one song that all three of them played on at the same time, but it can't be substantiated. The most I can find is two playing at the same time on the same record. A couple of those songs are on this pick. For sure track 4 and track 5 included Beck and Page on dual guitar. Clapton left and became Cream. Beck left and became the Jeff Back Group. Page left and became Led Zeppelin. Less known is that Relf and McCarty started Rennaisance (for one album). Dreja didn't really show up again as a musician until Box Of Frogs (Yardbirds spin off). Relf also was in Armageddon. McCarty and Relf also started Illusion, but Relf died before recording. Mostly similar lineup to first Rennaisance band.
