hrmm very interestings looks like im going to have to check this one out. Cant wait to see some of the footage. Looks like a pretty sick set list to.

I'll be getting this one--I Wish You Would was my favorite Yardbirds song, I've got it on a 45 in an attic somewhere (though now nothing to play it on ). (It's not I Wish I Would, as per #2.)

Edit: I also fear that #11 is a typo, unless it's not My Girl Sloopy but a different song altogether . . . (And if it is, it sounds really interesting. )

I think #10 is actually For Your Love, another possible typo?

Looks like a rehash of the 1991 "Yardbirds" documentary. It's too bad this DVD doesn't include any of the recently-surfaced Music Hall de France footage from 1966 (with Jimmy on bass).

Thanks for that. I thought there was something new attached to this release

Thanks. I see that in Germany it was released on Aug. 29 th. I have to check out this DVD. The description sounds great.

Why something so important in music as the Yardbirds receives a rehash of the same VHS tape in the 1990's is totally all about the money. Why this releases does not have new footage, interviews, updates, hidden jewels, etc. is a crying shame.

Missed that one, you're right.

Nothing like a Sloppy Sloopy,eh? Was Sloopy sloppy drunk?

For Your Love vs For Your Life? Freudian slip?

I have a Yardbirds album called Shapes Of Things that has "My Gal Sloopy" on it so, yes it's the one you're thinking of.

[Aquamarine]

I've now noticed that #9 should be Happening Ten Years Time Ago. And #6 is Train Kept a-Rollin.

I'm pretty sure #4 is correct, though!

What would this world be without proofreaders and the grammar police?

Answer:Idgits!

[Aquamarine]

But so true!

(Is this a good time to mention there are no commas in #7?)

This would happen to be the most opportune time to mention this,Aqua.You are on a roll,not a bagel,but a roll.Carry on!

[Aquamarine]

I think I've run out of material now.

Mind you, I'm still laughing at My Girl Sloppy.

Yeah,me too but...........................

There is a lyric I believe that says:

Give me one chance and I'll sweep you away.

Hence Sloppy Sloopy?

The German TV footage has already been released on CUMULAR LIMIT in 2000.
