Five Live Yardbirds is the debut live album by The Yardbirds, released in 1964. It is their only album to fully feature Eric Clapton that was released while he was still a member - and also the first album of any kind to feature Clapton. The album was revolutionary at the time as it was among the first live rock albums ever released, and chances are that it is THE first live album by a British band; furthermore it is also one of the first instances where a band's debut album was a live one. Finally, even though it's over 50 years old now, the sound quality of this album is still amazingly good, and incredibly clear for the standards of its time.Fan favourites include "Too Much Monkey Business", "Smokestack Lightning", "Louise", "I'm A Man" and "Here 'Tis". "Smokestack Lightning", "Respectable", "I'm A Man" and "Here 'Tis" ended up appearing on Having a Rave Up, which like many LPs at the time consisted of British recordings from a variety of original sources repackaged for the USA, as was the case with practically every British band's recordings.

Time Marches On: The announcement at the start of "Five Long Years" that the song will appear on "Side 2" sounds a bit dated on the CD version.

Step Up to the Microphone

comment
Step Up to the Microphone: Keith Relf is the main lead vocalist of The Yardbirds. Eric Clapton and Paul Samwell-Smith only sang co-lead vocals (Saying co-lead because they literally shared the lead) on "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl", and no other song in The Yardbirds discography. Otherwise, they just sing backing vocals.

comment
Three Chords and the Truth: Most of the songs, being blues forms, have only three chords, apart from the ones (e.g. "I'm a Man") that have fewer.

Non-Appearing Title: Zig-zagged. The album title does not appear in any of the songs, but it does appear in Hamish Grimes' spoken introduction to the band.note Grimes was an assistant to the band's then-manager, Giorgio Gomelsky.

Pun: The cover shows the band behind bars, which is a pun on their group name. Most people outside the United Kingdom probably didn't get this joke, as the word "yard" is a British English term for "jail".

Indecipherable Lyrics: If you don't already know the words to "Too Much Monkey Business", Keith Relf's Motor Mouth performance and the middling-quality of the recording won't help you.

Live Album: A revolutionary album in the style. Historically also the first concert album by a British rock band, and indeed by a rock band, period. It was recorded on 13 March 1964 at the Marquee Club, London.

Garage Band: Technically, the Yardbirds weren't a garage band but this album undoubtedly inspired a generation of musicians to plug in and play loud and fast.
