R.I.P.

Beck replaced Eric Clapton in The Yardbirds after Clapton left to join John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers.

The Yardbirds asked Jimmy Page to join them after Clapton left but he wasn't available due to other commitments. He suggested Beck and the rest is history! Page would later join them and I was fortunate to have seen them during the brief period in which Beck and Page were in the band at the same time.

Page became their lead guitarist after Beck left to record "Truth", his first solo project which featured, on most of the cuts, future Jeff Beck Group members Rod Stewart on vocals and Ron Wood on bass. Another future Jeff Beck Group member, Nicky Hopkins, played piano on a few cuts and John Paul Jones played the Hammond organ on at least one cut.
