After postponing a brief North American tour earlier this year, The Yardbirds are pleased to announce their 2015 Fall tour.
Kicking off on Friday, October 30 in Norfolk, CT, The Yardbirds – founding member and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jim McCarty, renowned guitarist Johnny A (Peter Wolf, Bobby Whitlock), bassist Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Billy Idol), singer/blues harpist/percussionist Myke Scavone (Ram Jam & Doughboys), and guitarist/singer John Idan – will tour throughout October and November.
Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, guitarist Earl Slick will not be a part of this tour, as previously announced.
Formed in 1960s’ London, The Yardbirds boasted some of the most infamous guitarists of all time – Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. Co-founded by McCarty with singer Keith Relf, rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja, bassist Paul Samwell-Smith, and lead guitarist Top Topham, the band unleashed a string of hits, including “For Your Love,” “Over Under Sideways Down,” and “Heart Full Of Soul,” and in turn, influenced generations of musicians and fans.
Electrifying, eclectic, and way ahead of their time, The Yardbirds’ continue their unbreakable legacy. The Yardbirds’ train keeps a rollin’ !!!
I am very impressed by the new YARDBIRDS. As always, they recruit top notch professional musicians. When I saw them this time at the Birchmere, the lead guitarist was in top form. Unfortunately, the rhythm guitarist was ill and could not make it. Hopefully he will be back touring soon. The bottom line is that they put on an excellent show.
The Yardbirds' performance was tremendous and brought back memories of the '60s with their unique sound of rock.
Yardbirds-good band but only one original Yardbird, the drummer. The band was very young but good. It was really a tribute band, rather than the original, except the drummer.
The show in Buffalo at the Tralf was missing one of the original band member that was recuperating from a medical problem. And the three "young" front men were extremely talented, fresh, and gave a "crisp" emotional performances. The songs were streaming from the stage with a gritty feel of the "spirit" in which they were conceived. It was an extremely high energy show. I loved it !
both yardbirds and vanilla fudge brought back the music when first started really listening when you are10-11 years old. listening to the radio at this age and acually remembering when you first heard these songs makes one feel young again. the new muscians of the yardbirds are very complimentary to the originals. the vanilla fudge was amazing to see after all these years.
Great show. Both bands were very tight. They rocked the house
This is nothing more than a Yardbirds tribute which is what we expected to see given that only the drummer is an original member. The guitar player was ill and could not perform. What we didn't expect was that the drummer would not address the audience and that the band assembled a bunch of "kids" to perform the music. Some age appropriate musicians who also dressed from the time period of the Yardbirds would have went a long way. Instead it was a bunch of guys dressed in workout clothing that the audience could not relate to. We left after 4 songs.
