Last night I was given the opportunity to photograph the 1992 Hall Of Famers, The Yardbirds in concert and up close
.
If you’re not familiar with The Yardbirds, they are an English band from the sixties. The band also spawned some of rock-n-roll’s all time favorite and best guitar players, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. In today’s incarnation of the band’s guitar hero is Anthony “Top” Topham- the original lead guitarist for The Yardbirds.
After the band’s breakup in 1968, their last lead guitarist went on to form the band, Led Zeppelin. However, after a long hiatus The Yardbirds regrouped in 1992 and brought back their sound from the sixties.
Currently with their lineup of Jim McCarty, Anthony “Top” Topham, Ben King, David Smale, and Andy Mitchell, they tour smaller venues and please the crowd with some great tunes.
