Special opening act. Jim McCarty solo with his Frontman Band. Record Store Day release off the double LP 'Frontman' will be available at the show.

The 2014 lineup. Chris Dreja has left the band after suffering a series of strokes in 2012 and 2013. His replacement is original Yardbirds guitarist, Anthony "Top" Topham, who was sixteen when Eric Clapton replaced him in 1963, and is now, at age sixty-six, a Yardbird again!

Various lineups over the years, but short time with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in band after Eric Clapton left for a while,and never came back, wasn't bad.

Seen them many times over here in U.K. since the '90's and always a good gig. ><

Their Record Store Day release this year was particularly nice; Little Games LP on psychedelic-splattered colored vinyl.

<<original Yardbirds guitarist, Anthony "Top" Topham, who was sixteen when Eric Clapton replaced him in 1963, and is now, at age sixty-six, a Yardbird again!>>

Topham was in the band in the 2000s in a guesting role. Sorry to hear about Dreja, since that is an original part of the sound, but good that they were still able to replace him with another original member.

I think their lead singer John Idan has also left, which is unfortunate because he had the sound of Paul Samwell-Smith as a bassist and the vocal sound of Keith Relf all in one (and even with a resemblance to Jeff Beck as he appeared in the mid-60s).

Here is an original song from 2003's Birdland.
