Description:
This CD takes tracks from the classic 1964 album recorded live at the Marquee club in London, and throws in a few odds and ends for good measure. Here, the raw energy of one of the best R&B bands of the 60's is perfectly captured, despite Keith Relf's shouted and breathless vocals.....still, he played good harp. Five Long Years, I'm a Man, Here 'Tis, and a stomping version of Smokestack Lightnin' are the highlights that brought the adrenelin to the surface for young neophytes of the Blues in those days.Clapton was locally famous by this time, but it took John Mayall to make him into a god....this CD predates the Bluesbreakers classic by a couple of years. Come to think of it, don't buy this CD but get the original Five Live Yardbirds AND the Bluesbreakers CD, and you will have Clapton's roots in their essence.
