8. Very interesting. Thanks. I didn't know Page and Clapton never played together in the Yardbirds.

Are you familiar with the Yardbirds cameo in the film Blowup? That was 1966, it's Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.

Didn't realize Page was doing the violin bow thing pre-Zeppelin.
Pretty good performance & decent sound for a live performance back then.
