 | | The loss could have been devastating to the Yardbirds; Clapton had already shown the striking, stabbingly virtuosic style he would later expand and deepen with Mayall and unfurl as a full-fledged virtuoso statement with the improvisational Blues rock/psychedilic Cream and return to pure blues again with Derek and The Dominos. |
| | The Beck-Page era Yardbirds also recorded "Stroll On," their half-crazed rendition of their standard "The Train Kept A-Rollin'," which they recorded for the Antonioni film Blow-Up; Relf changed the lyrics and title the night before it was recorded because there wasn't enough time to acquire permission from the copyright holder. |
