Movie Reviews of The Story of the Yardbirds
Movie Review: Great Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
As one reviewer suggested this might be a bootleg as it's not listed on the official Yardbirds website.
Nonetheless this is worth every penny if only for the excellent quality of live music and TV show footage.
There are plenty of band interviews with all of the living Yardbirds including some Clapton, lots of Beck and Page and Peter Grant even gets some camera time. There is one band interview in particular from sometime in the 90's and Beck is straightforward hilarious with his behind the scenes stories and critiques of things like Blow Up.
This is very well put together, tells the story and is entertaining.
If it is a bootleg or something done without the band's consent then whoever made this should be in big trouble right now.
I have Googled for Yardbirds lawsuits against HiQ and could find nothing.
People want to see this stuff, especially things about short lived, ground breaking, inventive and elusive bands (Hello Joy Division!).
If the Yardbirds or any band that cares about it's "legacy" wants make sure the history of their existence gets the correct treatment they should beat all others to the punch and do it themselves (Hello XTC!).
Take the Beatles example and claim your history and stop your sobbing (Hello Kinks!)
Eventually someone cobbles together a video history of these bands, if not for the love of the music then for money, either way it will get done and we the adoring public will eat it up.
Surely people who have been in this business as long as the Yardbirds know that.
I'll give it 5 stars just to annoy the "guy who knows the band" and that I really do enjoy it and will watch it repeatedly. Hey lighten up, it's only Rock and Roll!
Great stuff,Love it, Buy it now!
