More Information: The Yardbirds were nearing the end of their five-year run, with Page preparing his new group which would start off as the New Yardbirds in September, quickly morphing into Led Zeppelin within a short period. The crowd may have been there to hear "For Your Love," "Heart Full of Soul," "Shapes of Things" and "Over Under Sideways Down," but Page was undoubtedly anxious by this point to put the 'Birds behind him and move on to something new. The world is glad he did.
