Yardbirds!! That is some fine music. Clapton's guitar licks were already developed into Clapton's great blues/rock style. Top harmonica playing. This is 1964 performance and just as good as any band playing this kind of music today.
The drummer playing with traditional grip is interesting. A drum instructor once told a drummer friend of mine that those old traditional grip players can play circles around those matched grip players. And that is true.

He was 19 at this recording.

Thanks for posting this. Really fun to see such good, early footage of young Clapton.

You're welcome. Amazing what turns up on YouTube by surprise.
