That guy in the middle should really wipe the dirt off of his face!

I'm wondering who is going to be the new lead singer in the Yardbirds since John Idan left the band last year.

Without

I'll likely go to the Hammerstein show......the current Zombies lineup is always worth seeing.

....but the Spencer Davis Group still has Spencer Davis. Otherwise, it would really be wrong :)

I heard he's going to front the Yardbirds instead. :)

(in reality, this tour is overlapping the Bad Company tour).

True they still have Spencer Davis but Steve Winwood did all the singing.

I had a chance to see Spencer Davis Group here, but passed because no Steve Winwood. Maybe it was a mistake, I don't know. I can't see everybody, can't afford it. I've seen Steve Winwood live, though, but he only does a couple of SDG songs.

I'm guessing Page/Clapton/Beck are sitting out this Yardbirds tour, too.
