New from the Yardbirds comes a multi-media show Yardbirds Legacy with original Drummer Jim McCarty telling stories and anecdotes from the formation of the band in the early 1960s through the legendary lead guitarists -- Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page -- who made important contributions to Rock music, to the 1992 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the reformation of the band shortly after that and spanning 60 years to today. Jim will tell all with video clips and photographs with the current band playing the hits along the way.
The heavily Blues influenced Yardbirds had some major hits back in the ‘60s that include "For Your Love," "Over Under Sideways Down," and "I'm a Man," and Blues staples such as "Muddy Water," "New York City Blues" and the Mose Allison tune "I'm Not Talkin’." Jim will pay tribute to the Yardbirds Legacy by showing vintage film clips of the iconic lead guitarists who graced the stage in this band including Jimmy Page (currently #3 on Rolling Stone's list of Top Guitarists), Jeff Beck (#5) and Eric Clapton (#35) as former lead guitarists. The current band includes Godfrey Townsend on lead guitar (John Entwistle, Happy Together Tour), Kenny Aaronson on bass (Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Rick Derringer, Bob Dylan), and Myke Scavone on Blues harp (Doughboys, Ram Jam). Lead singer John Idan just celebrated his 30-year anniversary with the Yardbirds.
The current band just recorded a new live album “Mind the Gap” which will be released soon. A special compilation featuring the original band recordings, “The Yardbirds Psycho Daisies - The Complete B-Sides,” was just released on Demon Records-UK for Record Store Day 2024. A documentary film, The Yardbirds in Their Own Words produced by Nick Samwell-Smith and directed by James Tonkin, is currently airing on SKY-UK channel and will be released in the USA soon.
Opening are The Cryers.
