Live at B.B. King Blues Club

On a hot July 19th evening in 2006, the B.B. King Blues Club in New York City was host to the legendary Yardbirds. Captured on tape was a blistering non-stop set of powerful blues and rock n’ roll, performed to an insatiable crowd crackling with excitement.

On March 30th, 2007, Favored Nations will release the live recordings of this unforgettable show.
