1. the jimmy page story?

2. It would start way earlier than that...

With Keith Relf and Paul Samwell Smith
Featuring all the classic songs they wrote
We would meet Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and then Jimmy Page
They played with famous musicians
Keith Moon suggested their name by claiming the band would go over like a lead balloon
Lots of recognisable musicians and tons of great songs and that is before Led Zeppelin

Look up the Yardbirds playing Dazed and Confused
(can't post vids on my phone)

3. ok i get it.

i was confused because afaik, page was the only member of both bands.

but i agree, the story of the pre-history of led zep would be a great movie.

Everyone was appalled at the time that the 3rd generation guitarist would try to co-opt the YB name.
