This is a beautiful poster that is in virtually unimprovable condition given the fact that it was produced on SUPER THIN paper!

The Yardbirds were the breeding ground for THE top English blues guitarists of the era. The talents of Eric Clapton Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page contributed to the pedigree and prestige of the group. The band would subsequently morph into arguably the most powerful rock band of all time Led Zeppelin. This poster is from a show by the band in 1968 when Paige had taken over on guitar after Beck left the group. By September of that year they would become the New Yardbirds i.e. Led Zeppelin.
