Did I mention that a certain Shady Dame and I saw The Yardbirds Monday night?
I went in expecting a pretty good tribute band, but as you can see -- these guys actually are the fucking Yardbirds, even if drummer Jim McCarty is the only original member left.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the aforementioned Shady Dame and I were sitting just off camera stage right.

Thanks for posting...
Billy B — the guy far left is also in an absolutely killer band called The Doughboys. Check them out immediately.

You are correct on the killer part.
Back to the Yardbirds' - the guitar players were great and the lead singer had Relf's vocals down.
Goof stuff
Oops. GOOD stuff.
I saw them several times a few years ago when Chris Dreja was still touring. They've gone through several iterations. John Idan does a great job on the vocals/
Lousy sound mix ( off a phone probably) but good to see them regardless.
35 years ago (1984) I bought the latest incarnation of Yardbird members - Box of Frogs. Chris Dreja, Paul Samwell-Smith, and Jim McCarty.
Fun album and more than listenable.
