Yes! Here comes another great live performance by the five very much alive Yardbirds. Recorded live on stage at London's Marquee Club, in August 1964, some five months after their great gig which became the famous Five Live Yardbirds album. The line-up features Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Chris Dreja on rhythm guitar, Paul Samwell-Smith on bass, Jim McCarty on drums and Keith Relf on vocals and harmonica. The music exemplifies British blues at its visceral best. Raucous in its intensity, the Yardbirds make their way through covers of Chuck Berry's Too Much Monkey Business and Howlin Wolf's Smokestack Lightning.The band's trademark rave-up antics are also evident on numbers like the Isley Brothers Respectable,while the set's closer, The Sky Is Crying.
