The Yardbirds: The BBC Sessions CD
British bands in the 1960s knew they made it when they were asked to perform on the BBC. One band consistently asked back were The Yardbirds. They appeared on numerous BBC programs including Saturday Club and Easy Beat.
Their performances on the Beeb occurred between March 1965 and March 1968, so this was the post-Eric Clapton era. Jeff Beck was with group until October 1966.
Jimmy Page stayed on until 1968.
Here’s a song performed on the BBC in February 1966.
