The earliest recordings by the awesome Yardbirds, they don't come across as too awesome on this live set backing Sonny Boy in 1963. Sonny sounds fine and is blowing pretty good, but this very early Yardbirds haven't really found their feet yet and their playing is mostly uninspiring and simple. I got bored with this fairly quickly, although the small audience seemed to enjoy it and considering the vintage, the recording is of  good quality. My Rating 1.5/5
