The Yardbirds, with … Jimmy Page…!!! Chaville, France 1967.
Keith Relf is noticeable off key, in the 1st song. Guess he couldn’t hear himself properly. An Engineer is called. The next number is better. Proper monitors were still in the future…
Queen’s Prophets Song - cover by Cellar Darling, from 2018 -
Wow. Pretty close to the original. The multitracked vocals are probably easier, technically, than when Queen did the original. But you still have to sing it.
Hurdy Gurdy - it works…! Metal Guitars - yes. And the Drums - that will be Merlin… (really)
We managed to see them three times on their 1972 tour. The first, a small club in Birmingham called Barbarellas, was utterly brain melting. The next week I was all over the place. Wayne was on our side of the stage, we were on the same side at the front. He gave us the evil eye, threw a cigarette at us, which we kept (and lost). Rob spent a good while singing whilst slithering across the stage, and in Rocket Reducer 62 made me and the wife sing Rama Lama Fa Fa.
