...at first a few words about 'The Chords': This should be no new posting because it is already on the blog. I just wanted add new links...however...just for your information.
But now to the new post: The Yardbirds
Yardbirds '68 is a double CD and LP record album by English rock group the Yardbirds. Recorded in 1968 in New York City when the group was a quartet with guitarist Jimmy Page, it includes live performances and demos. Page produced the album, which was released in November 2017 on his own record label.
The tracks were recorded during the Yardbirds' last American tour in 1968; the live recordings are from their performance at the Anderson Theater on 30 March and studio recordings are demos from sessions at Columbia Recording Studio in April. Previously, the ten live tracks appeared on Live Yardbirds: Featuring Jimmy Page. The album was issued by Epic Records in 1971, but was quickly withdrawn. Most of the eight demos were included on the limited release Cumular Limit in 2000.
The live performance follows a typical Yardbirds' set list for the period and includes several of their best-known songs, including "The Train Kept A-Rollin'", "I'm a Man", "Shapes of Things", and "Over Under Sideways Down".
Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone noted that among the songs are three which carried over to Led Zeppelin: "Dazed and Confused", "White Summer", and "Knowing That I'm Losing You", which was later reworked as "Tangerine".
In a review for Classic Rock magazine, Ian Fortnam gave the album four out of five stars. While he has favourable comments on some of the demos, he notes "the main attraction here is the live set" that includes Yardbirds' standards and "Dazed and Confused".
All three surviving members of the 1968 lineup (Jim McCarty, Chris Dreja and Jimmy Page) participated in preparing the album and issued a joint statement:
We thought this might be lost forever, but we’ve rediscovered it, re-mixed it. It’s of great historical importance. We’re delighted to see the release.(Wiki)
The double set is really well done with great artwork (DigiPak+Booklet). Five stars by me. Enjoy.(Frank)

DeleteI was surprised when I opened the package you forwarded to me. It's so well presented in its own box, with separate 2 cds and separate supporting illustrated paperwork. I love listening to it because of the memories it brings back of those days and can't wait for my friend from those days to see & listen to it, when I visit later this Year.
