The Yardbirds Concert last night

The Yardbirds are an English rock band formed in London in 1963. The band started the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists: Eric Clapton(1963–1965), Jeff Beck (1965–1966) and Jimmy Page (1966–1968), all of whom ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 greatest guitarists.[5] The band's other members during 1963–1968 were vocalist/harmonica player Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty, rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja, and bassist Paul Samwell-Smith, with Dreja switching to bass when Samwell-Smith departed in 1966. The band had a string of hits throughout the mid-1960s, including "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul", "Shapes of Things", and "Over Under Sideways Down".

Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck are recognizable in this band, if they are still in it..

The guy is just so....sterile. His whole sound and style is just so practiced.

Like he sat and played the same licks over and over and over. No spontaneity, nothing from the heart, no absolute feeling or emotion.

Just, 'I learned this, here it is'. To me, he's always sounded like everything he played was contrived beforehand.

But, that's just what I've always heard from him.
