Yardbirds, Heart Full of Soul - late 1966

Foot stomping twins Dreja and Page.

Yummy guitar work in this video. Here is a close up.

These two blokes took dancing lessons together (nah - probably not :) )

However, when Jimmy asked if Chris Dreja wanted to join his new band, Dreja turned down the opportunity to become Led Zeppelin’s bassist. Thanks to John Baldwin’s wife, Baldwin got the bass gig in stead.

Chris was happy to just take photographs - like this one (1971) - of the shiny new band.

Meanwhile, liddle Relf is demonstrating that he’s literally The Yardbirds’ front man even though the most interesting action in the entire film is performed by his band mates.
