Heres the Yardbirds earlier session(which included some lyrics by Relf that were kept and never credited) of "Knowing That I'm Losing You". Guess who fought the release on a later Yardbirds compilation????

Verrrry interesting. The Yardbirds are one of my favorite bands, always nice to hear something by them that I hadn't heard before.

I'm guessing it was Jimmy Page who fought against releasing this on a Yardbirds compilation, since he had the 'Yardbirds Live' album pulled after only being out for a week or so (due to Dazed & Confused being on it, and White Summer...and his not being happy with the way it sounded in general).

Legend has it that Jimmy Page wrote "Tangerine" for Jackie DeShannon, who he was involved with back then. (I saw her perform on a PBS fundraising concert recently, she's still beautiful!)

They did 'Tangerine' and 'I'm Confused' so badly though that I don't see why Page would care if it was out there. He got it so much better with his next band.

I did like 'Stroll On' though...

Dazed and Confused was actually lifted from folk singer Jake Holmes-the music given the Yardbirds treatment by drummer McCarty and Page. Page is one of the most talented and versatile guitarists of our generation but also one of the biggest song "borrowers". There were numerous out of court settlements with bluesmen over the years. Google "the thieving magpies" for some interesting reading. Holmes even had his version out on an album which Page and McCarty each bought after seeing Holmes set.

I've read that they nicked that tune from Jake Holmes, but I've never heard Holmes' version. I never knew that he recorded an album with that on it, that's interesting, maybe I'll get to hear it one of these days.

I've been listening to Davy Graham's album 'Folk, Blues, and Beyond' a lot lately. Page definitely took Graham's arangement of 'She Moved Through the Fair' (an old traditional Irish tune) and renamed it 'White Summer'. Page changed it a little, but not all that much.

Yep, Zep's 'borrowing' is pretty blatant at times. The first time I heard the Small Faces' version of 'You Need Loving', I thought "aha! The missing link between Muddy Waters' 'You Need Love' and Zep's 'Whole Lotta Love'.

While we're on the subject of the Yardbirds, here's a really poor-audio quality recording of them playing the Velvet Underground's "Waiting For the Man":

This was a nice find...by the way it took me 4 times to crack that code.

I know(its a pain) but its kinda like algebra-it dont make sense and then all of a sudden when you look at it right you've got it!!

I didn't have any problem with the code, but i couldn't ever get the file to play. What the heck is a FRAC file, anyway? Windows doesn't recognize it.

Thanks for posting the YouTube clip of it, which makes all of this a moot point.

well,actually its a FLAC file but thats a LOSSLESS(no compressed info?) format as opposed to mp3 and other LOSSY formats. Supposedly once you compress the music into lossy files you can never fully recover the info.FLAC is supposed to be cd quality.foobar2000 is the software I use to listen to it. Maybe someone else can jump in that are alot smarter than me!!

The Yardbirds performing Dazed and Confused on French television - 1968

Thanks for the "Dazed and Confused" link. Never seen that before. Recent discovery?

Regarding FLAC, it's Free Lossless Audio Codec. Basically ZIP or WinRAR for audio. The files get smaller, maybe 60% of the original, but nothing is lost. Other lossless codecs are APE and SHN. mp3 and other "lossy" codecs make the audio files even smaller, but they also throw away data that can never be recovered.

No, I don't think so.

There is also a performance on You Tube of Train Kept A Rollin' on French televison from 1966, which features the short-lived Page/Beck lineup - though Page had seemingly yet to switch places with Chris Dreja - he's on bass.

Anyone here know how many times this lineup appeared on television together?

I can only think of three: Ready Steady Go!, the above mentioned and another performance mimming to Ten Years Time Ago - not sure whether thats Euro tv or American.

Could anyone kind re-post this by original lossless file?

Thanks in advance

Anyone?

Best regards
