TheDroid 31st Jul 2018		This overt bootleg of the fairly rare "Live Yardbirds! Featuring Jimmy Page" LP was attempting to capitalize on the phenomenal success and fame of Led Zeppelin as they began to make a name for themselves. A brief overview of this albums history is provided by AllMusic.com: "Arguably the most famous lost live album in history, Live Yardbirds Featuring Jimmy Page, cut at the Anderson Theater in New York on March 30, 1968, has been issued twice on vinyl legitimately (only to be suppressed by legal action) and innumerable times since as a bootleg. Page’s guitar (which goes out of tune several times) is the dominant instrument, alternately crunchy and lyrical, but always loud and dexterous; the roughness of Keith Relf’s singing is also more apparent, but his shortcomings don’t really hurt the music. The performance also reveals just how far out in front of the psychedelic pack the Yardbirds were by the spring of 1968; Page had pushed the envelope about as far as he could, in terms of high-velocity guitar pyrotechnics.". Supposedly the performance was originally recorded in 1968 for possible release as a live Yardbirds album, but the band was not happy with the recording and decided not to release it. In 1971, after Page had went on success with Led Zeppelin, Epic dusted off the then three-year-old tapes and released the recording as Live Yardbirds Featuring Jimmy Page. Page promptly threatened to sue, and the album was quickly withdrawn. In 1976, Epic’s parent label Columbia again released the album on their Columbia Special Products label and Page threatened to sue again and the album was again withdrawn by Columbia.
