London was truly amazing to experience as a young undergraduate in 1994. But this cut is from swinging London in 1967, capturing The Yardbirds in all their untutored fury. Funny fact: between 1964-68, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page all played guitars for the band. This recording is taken from Antonioni's pulp classic movie Blow Up. The statuesque stillness of the audience contrasts with the raw energy of the musicians.
The brooding psyche-rock groove of Dazed and Confused as played by The Yardbirds in 1968. Less than a year later, guitarist Jimmy Page had re-tooled the song for his new band, Led Zeppelin. And the rest is history! I like this band though; they never made it mega big but they had a hardcore loyal following both in the UK and the US. Good moody little number this one.
Git in There by Betty Davis. She made 3 world class records then retired. Played the game on her own terms and won, all power to her. All her records are so crisply arranged.
