The Yardbirds are mostly known to the casual rock fan as the starting point for three 

of the greatest British rock guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. 

Undoubtedly, these three figures did much to shape the group's sound, but throughout their career, 

The Yardbirds were very much a unit, albeit a rather unstable one. 

And they were truly one of the great rock bands; one whose contributions went far beyond 

the scope of their half dozen or so mid-'60s hits ("For Your Love," "Heart Full of Soul," 

"Shapes of Things," "I'm a Man," "Over Under Sideways Down," "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago")

Five Live Yardbirds was the first important -- indeed, essential -- live album to come out 

of the 1960s British rock & roll boom. In terms of the performance captured and the recording quality, 

it was also the best such live record of the entire middle of the decade. 

Cut at a Marquee Club show in 1964 , Five Live Yardbirds was a popular album, especially 

once Eric Clapton's fame began to spread after leaving the band.

Although the album didn't appear officially in the United States until its CD release by Rhino in the late 1980s, 

four of its tracks -- "Smokestack Lightning," "Respectable," "I'm a Man," and "Here 'Tis" -- 

made up one side of their classic U.S. album Having a Rave Up, and the British EMI LP 

became a very popular import during the early 1970s as a showcase 

for both the band and the playing of Eric Clapton. 

That album had astonishingly good sound, which was not the case with any of the reissues that followed, 

on vinyl or CD -- even Rhino's compact disc suffered from blurry textures and noise, t

hough it was an improvement over any release since the original EMI LP...(AllMusic)
