Latest incarnation of The Yardbirds lands at the Big Gig

Britain's The Yardbirds have been seen as something like a university of rock and roll. Among the band's front line across its heyday in the 1960s, were guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. The group, part of the British Invasion era that led many U.K. groups to the top of the U.S. charts, scored hits here with songs like "For Your Love," "Over Under Sideways Down" and "Heart Full of Soul." The latest version plays at the BMO Harris Pavilion on Saturday.
