Free Music Notes for Five Live Yardbirds
Free Music Review: Probably the most complete version of this classic available right now, as far as live cuts goes..
Hit: 5 Stars
Ignore commentary that this was "the poorest" version of the Yardbirds; it is only "poor" if you prefer artistic nuances like raga stylings and instruments to great raw live shows. Portions of this material were originally available in the US as just one side of the LP "Having a Rave Up With the Yardbirds," our first taste of how hot the band was in concert. Ultimately "Five Live" arrived at our shores and now we have several versions available to choose from, some with studio cuts mixed in. I like this one for the extra live cuts. As the reviewer below notes, be careful which one you buy so you don't feel left short. Our first real exposure to Eric Clapton's power, so how can you lose?
Five Live Yardbirds Poster
Reissue of the hit British Invasion rockers' 1964 debut album with eight bonus tracks added, 'Smokestack Lightnin'', 'You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover', 'Let It Rock', 'I Wish You Would', 'Who Do You Love', 'Honey In Your Hips', 'I'm A Man' and 'Shapes Of Things'. 18 tracks total. Comes packaged in a digipak with the original cover art intact. 1999 release.Featuring Eric "Slowhand" Clapton on lead guitar, this concert recording presents the Yardbirds at their most blues-wailing. Of the band's four actual albums, it's definitely aged the poorest; Clapton's playing is unquestionably sweet, and the extended rave-ups on "Smokestack Lightning" and "Here 'Tis" are genuinely exciting, but mostly the band just sounds like British art students earnestly negotiating their way through their favorite blues tunes--which is, in fact, what they were. As excellent a guitarist as Clapton was, the band didn't really come into its own until Jeff Beck signed on as his replacement, bringing with him an arsenal of fuzz tones, raga scales, and rockabilly licks; the blues-influenced pop mutations that followed are, in retrospect, far more interesting than the rote covers included here. --Dan Epstein
