I've had the privilege of working with a number of geniuses, not just in music but in engineering and physics, and with very rare exceptions, they don't recognize their own genius because what they do is NORMAL to them. It's no surprise that Jimmy simply deflects the spotlight from himself to Keith. These people are priceless. And yes, the Yardbirds changed all of rock and roll. Certainly the most influential band in rock history.

keith Relf deserves more recognition in yardbirds and in rock history.

I thought none of them were going to mention their lead singer, the great Keith Relf. It was up to them but I feel they all should’ve mentioned him, thankfully Jimmy did.

For people born in the 1950s, the Yardbirds among the first band to be OUR music (as opposed to our older brothers & sisters music: Beatles, DC5, etc.). They mean so much to us. I saw them at the Michigan State Fairgrounds in 1966 and they were brilliant. Thank you for being on those tour buses. it meant so much to us.

Saw the legendary short lived Beck and Page lineup at the Roof Garden in Arnolds Park, Iowa. Page was indeed playing bass. A life changing experience for a 15 year old kid in northwest Iowa.

I first saw Zappa the night he was pushed off of the stage at The Rainbow Theatre. After that I never missed a UK tour right up to the very last one! I've worked in records since 1969.

I'm a big fan of Zappa as well. Saw him in 80" and 82." One of the most talented and influential people ever to form a band, but because of all the controversy that surrounded him those turds in Cleveland will never let him in. But being the kind ant-establishment person he was, Zappa wouldn't want to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame anyway; Beefheart neither.

Were we watching the same video? I've never seen Jimmy Page come off as arrogant, or acting like a boss. I agree, always respectful and humble for a Rock Star of his stature!

Not everyone knows Keith did the bulk of the Yardbirds catalogue with only one lung (the other collapsed from asthma in 1964). Beck's always been the man. Listen to the flurries and solo on 'Evil Heated You.' Clapton might have been "God" to some, but Beck made the Yardbirds.

Jeff Beck was the guitar genius that I loved listening to in The Yardbirds, and he is still the most adventurous and inventive of the three today. I never knew that they kicked him out though. Jeff Beck was, in my opinion, the only British guitar player who could match and often outplay the great American psychedelic guitarists of the 60s. He was edgy and daring, and they kicked him out!! I can't believe it. What a revelation!

In retrospect it is clear that the Yardbirds were the first modern rock band, specifically when Clapton went on his rave-ups early doors. I heard 'Five Live Yardbirds' in 1973 or so and thought to was great. Then hearing the likes of Dr Feelgood live a lot to was clear what an influence they were. To have had one of Clapton, Beck and Page on board would be something...all three is almost incredible.

Jeff and Jimmy were lifelong brothers. RIP Jeff Beck, and RIP to the voice of the Yardbirds Keith Relf.

Always loved yardbirds!

beatlesrutles That's Jeff! And didn't he light the place up! He's pretty light hearted most of the time. But he speaks the truth, and in the same vein as what happened to him, 26 years before, it's the reason we have Led Zeppelin; legally they weren't allowed to call themselves The New Yardbirds anymore, so they had to come up with a new name; maybe part of why Jimmy's smiling; he's been there too ... and I thought The Edge's introduction was very respectful and insightful .. and you know I just now realised, as I'm writing, that years later, he got to be in a film with one of his heroes, Jimmy; in 'It Might Get Loud', wherein that very same work ethic, and lonely striving, for something ethereal, is very much in evidence ... hundreds of years from now .. longer I'm sure .. musicians will continue to be inspired by those on stage this particular evening .. just as we still are today by Bach and Beethoven ...

Page a class act…not to mention a musical genius

The Edge mentioned Culver City, my home town! Love the Yardbirds, btw.

Paul Samwell-Smith never aged a day. He looked middle-aged when he was in the Yardbirds and if anything he looks younger here!

The Yardbirds are the only group from the 60's that doesn't sound dated today. And that includes the groups that Beck, Page, and Clapton went on to form after the Yardbirds. In my opinion the Yardbirds was, and still is, the greatest rock band in history.
