Album Notes The 2003 edition of FIVE LIVE YARDBIRDS contains 9 bonus tracks. The Yardbirds: Keith Relf (vocals, harmonica); Eric Clapton, Chris Dreja (guitar); Paul "Sam" Samwell-Smith (bass); Jim McCarty (drums). Recorded live at Craw Daddy, Richmond, England and the Marquee Club, London, England in 1963-64. Includes liner notes by Greg Russo. The Yardbirds: Keith Relf (vocals, harmonica); Chris Dreja, Eric 'Slowhand' Clapton (guitar); Paul 'Sam' Samwell-Smith (electric bass); Jim McCarty (drums). Recording information: Marquee Club, London, England (1964). Few British Beat groups attempted in-concert recordings, but this proved a natural vehicle for the Yardbirds. One of the era's most popular live attractions, the set captures their exciting interpretation of British R&B. Their arrangements of blueswailing material by Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddley and Slim Harpo are exceptional and their prowess as musicians is immediately self-evident. Keith Relf proves himself an accomplished harmonica player while Eric Clapton's guitarwork lays the foundation for his future recordings. Where many contemporaries struggled to complete wholly satisfying live albums, the Yardbirds did so with breath to spare.
Industry Reviews 4 stars out of 5 - ...This timeless document shows the 19-year-old Clapton's striking blend of nuance, precision and fury... Uncut (06/01/2003)
