Photograph: Cindy Gough Stalnaker. One of only three known photographs of Beck and Page on stage together sharing lead guitar duties. This is the clearest, and in colour. Two others are known from a Fillmore West performance the following day. One of the most exciting and innovative British rhythm 'n blues / rock / pop band lineups of the 1960s involved the brief, six month-long pairing of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in the Yardbirds. This short-lived collaboration took place between late June and early November of 1966. Unfortunately, there are no live recordings of the two legendary guitarists interacting on stage together, with Beck wielding a classic '59 sunburst Gibson Les Paul and Page the famous '58 / '59 Fender 'Dragon' Telecaster give...

Yardbirds - Videos & LIVE 1963-68

Australasian Tour 1967 | Beck-Page Yardbirds 1966 | Dragon Telecaster | Final Days 1968 | Posters | Videos 1964-68 The Yardbirds were one of the greatest live rock and pop bands of the 1960s. Their mix of pop and rhythm and blue songs allowed for development of an unprecedented live performance reputation, especially in the United States during the period when Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were leading the guitar attack, from the end of 1965 through to the middle of 1968. This followed on the relatively brief 15 month Eric Clapton period during 1963-5 limited to British performances, apart from a single Swiss residency during August 1964. A number of documentaries and Sixties music retrospectives have discussed the band's career, either singularly or in context. One of the former is 1995's My Generation - The Yardbirds , a 30 minute presentation by Granda TV for its Without Walls series.
