    I have been a Yardbird fan since I was a kid. He’s a very underrated singer from that era.

    Keith was a good singer with his Brian Jones hairstyle. Sad ending for him but he is well remembered !

    Armageddon was and is an incredible creative rock masterpiece
    I wish they could have had another
    I still have this album in regular rotation on my playlist
    It was styled unlike music from the era

    It's nice that somebody put some of his lyrics from Armageddon's Silver Tightrope on his headstone.

    Fantastic episode, I knew little about the Yardbirds but now I’m motivated to check out more. I loved Renaissance. You are so appreciated! Can I make a couple of future video suggestions? Karen Carpenter, and Rick James. 🤗

      @@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv it was WONDERFUL! I really appreciated it, so many things I didn’t know and photos I hadn’t seen. I wish he hadn’t passed so young but he certainly lived his life and left an indelible imprint. I’ve been listening to all the songs l loved as a kid, these videos are reminding me of very happy days. It makes the day much sunnier. Thank you!🤗

    The yardbirds were the most influencel grup of their time especially with the greatest guitarist of all time, the brilliant Jeff Beck who made Hendrix ok like a beginner.

    About time Keith Relph had some acknowledgement. Been a Yardbirds fan since I was 18 in 1981, as a guitarist they've influenced me in every band ive played in , even the haircut at that time.Like Brian Jones he had asthma though both played great harmonica. I read in the Yardbirds book that was released around '84 that he had a collapsed lung, which is even more amazing if true.

    There is a song called "Silver Tightrope" on the Armageddon LP shown here. It is simply an amazing piece of music. I recommend you try it on CZcams or wherever you stream your music. The words on his headstone are from this song, I think.
