There’s No other Group that can say they had 3 of the greatest guitarists ever.

[@paulbcote]

Mayall's Blues Breakers? 🙂

[@a.m8878]

The stones had Two of the closest 15 best guitar players. Mick taylor on the solos is second only to Page or Cream Eric. And nobody beats Keith at in reef mastering and attitude.

[@MyGodzilla99]

Allman bros?

[@christianwilson5643]

@@MyGodzilla99 hahah no not the Allman brothers

[@donjaysmith6170]

@@paulbcote Definitely John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. He had Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor and later Walter Trout and Carolyn Wonderland. Peter Green went on to found Fleetwood Mac and is considered to be the greatest blues guitarist ever from Great Britain. Mick Taylor joined the Rolling Stones in 1969. Walter Trout most recently had the #1 Blues Album on the charts for 2022 and Carolyn is the newest incredible guitarist who will be a household name one day. Mayall who will be 90 this year has stopped touring.

I think this is the earliest footage of Eric Clapton... 1964... Wow..

[@suzyiam6889]

I was lucky to see them at Sheffield Uni in the 1960s we had to squeeze in it was so crowded hardly visible from the back they were electric Eric Clapton already making his name around the music circuit 💗

DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER

[@susanduke9835]

I had no idea just how good the yardbirds actually were, I was in primary school then so didn’t really appreciate it. They were well ahead of their time

[@lthompson7625]

Susan, l saw them in Llandudno a couple of years ago on one of those 1960s greats tours. Some of the original Yardbirds were in the line-up , including the original lead guitarist before Eric ,, and a couple of younger musicians. They were brilliant! If you get a chance go and see them.

[@jerrykrueger9764]

These Brits had the Blues . They learned well from the great Blues legends in the Good ol USA. This is outstanding.

[@joebaxley1503]

I think Clapton has the best career resumes ever.

[@arminiushermann09]

I'd say so. And it looks like he lefts his aura for some great guitarist to follow. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page in this group, Peter Green with Mayall an played with Duane Allman along with Cream an Blind Faith. I'd say that's one hell of a resume.

THIS WAS AWESOME!!

yardbirds and the Stones were the flame of hope for rock & blues legacy in those days. Eric ripped that tele. I only wished he had more disto like Keith R. had back in the day. Relf was amazing

Love this so very much. Eric Clapton is amazing.

Il est toujours incroyable talent

[@MatteoTorgy]

Clapton was 19 years old.

[@johnknow4097]

Clapton use to play with The Yardbirds in our little old market town of Basingstoke around that time and later with John Mayals Bluesbreakers who were the resident band. Jeff Beck, Peter Green and other now familiar names that gained worldwide fame often played there as well.

[@lameduck3630]

Basingstoke rocks.

[@johnknow4097]

@@lameduck3630 Funnily enough in recent years I became acquainted with a lady who went to school with him. As far as I know he didn't have any knee dusting episodes with her like he did with a girl between intermission's in Basingstoke's town hall on a regular basis.

Amazing when he suffered from emphysema and asthma so I'm lead to believe. Very underrated singer.

[@ricdiclemente6616]

How could you dislike the Yardbirds? Relf was awesome frontman. I saw these guys in the 60s in Memphis, TN before Keith passed obviously.

[@tiborzkarate1]

Keith has kind of Eric Clapton's sounding voice here in this song.

[@robertkelly6282]

Amazing how they sound before they went more of a commercial route. Reason Clapton left the band.

Anyone that knows no better would think clapton was the only guitar player worthy of the name, I don't rate him that much, sometimes a player is taken to highs by a few obsessed fans and the sheep all follow along, Peter Green and Danny Kerwin I'd have any day, stevie Ray Vaughan, another one I'd say is the tops!...

[@claudebonenfant6700]

I agree. But he had the looks and the ambition a d the intelligence that the others did not have. Especially the looks and the intelligence to attach himself to the giants like George and then the Stones....

Yup. The things that TV shows made bands do to add some "excitement" to their performances was often ridiculous and embarrassing.
