The Dark Lord Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I found at the record store a picture disc of an interview with Jim McCarty and Chris Dreja called Afternoon Tea. It's from 1982, just before Box of Frogs. It's the interview, or one of them, in which Chris jokes that Jimmy Page was so eager to join the Yardbirds that he would've probably played drums. Not a rare item but interesting, to me anyway. The back features reminiscences of Shelly Heber, who was president of the Yardbirds' fan club--Taspey--in the late 1960s. Her comments are in some cases pretty negative, probably not the sort of thing that would be included on an album sleeve today. I've attached a few pics including the text of the paragraph that mentions Jimmy. I've got a sealed copy of Afternoon Tea. As you noted, it's virtually worthless, but I love it as part of my extensive Yardbirds collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 From JimmyPage.com today October 23 (1966) I played The Fillmore Auditorium with The Yardbirds The Yardbirds played in the afternoon at the Fillmore, San Francisco and it was an amazing show. Jeff Beck and I got a lift from the venue with some guys and one of them had recorded it. It was a pleasant surprise to hear it played back en route from the gig. The recording quality was poor from the small dictaphone type recorder, but the playing of the band was great. I guess this tape just disappeared into the ether.

luvlz2 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Pamela Des Barress interviews Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira about meeting Jimmy Page during his time in the Yardbirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zep Hed Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The only plausible instance of Cassandra possibly crossing paths with the Yardbirds would have been July 1967 in Colorado Springs. It's where she attended high school and she references Denver when speaking of Hendrix. In July 67 she was not yet 16 years old. Judge for yourself.

mtracy64 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Cassandra worked as a showgirl in Las Vegas when she was 17, but the Yardbirds were no more by the time she turned 17 in September, 1968. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephaniesonusa Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 its interesting, i didn’t know more than one led zeppelin song on from the Yardbirds, other than In My Time of Dying. Which at the time was with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton and had some other singer than Robert Plant obviously, I don’t know who sang for the Yardbirds. So obviously TSRTS is a led zeppelin song and In my Time of Dying still had the same name when it made it on Physical Graffiti, sorry I know someone was talking about that before. On 8/30/2011 at 12:59 PM, Chap said: To me the opening of "Tinker Tailor" is the genesis of what would become TSRTS. That seems the obvious answer, but maybe it is less obvious to some reading this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zep Hed Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Santa Monica 67, Fillmore West 67 & 68 and Cleveland 68 are challenging to the ears but this one is pretty good. Not as good as LA, but strap on the headphones and boost the low levels and it's more than listenable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
