Jake Holmes was an opening act for the Jimmy Page era Yardbirds. One night, Holmes plays his "Dazed and Confused" before a Yardbirds concert. Page is instantly fascinated by Holmes's song, and that descending bass line. Later that night, Page goes to some Greenwich Village record store, where he buys Holmes's album. The Yarbirds then cover the song, steal it, really, as Holmes isn't credited. The song carries over to Page's next band, where it becomes a staple of Led Zeppelin's live set.and one of its biggest hits.

I prefer the Aerosmith version of Train Kept a Rollin personally. For old covers, though, have a bit of this. I'm thinking of adding this to my own set list.

OE: Realized after the fact that I conflated the Yardbirds and the Animals there. Don't care, though, you should listen to that anyway because it's great.

This is/was always pretty smokin'!

Turn the Cards into a trainwreck.



LGM!

[Edgy MD]

No indictment of Todd, but I like three-man booths.

Fuckin McNeil. I'd basically given up on him being this good again

[Edgy MD]

Just as I'm thinking, "All these crossups make Knizner look like he's never caught before," Todd Zeile says, "All these crossups make Knizner look like he's never caught before."

[Frayed Knot]

Jordan Hicks, takes his licks.

He's playing, like, ... aggressively good. There seems to be some chip-on-the-shoulder in his game.

[Edgy MD]

All McNeil needed was to hit at the bottom of the order.

"Edman" sounds like a real D-lister of a superhero.

And yet a popular gay icon.

McCann may be off the interstate by the end of this series.



Todd says his McCannics look stronger, too. I agree.

[Lefty Specialist]

Is it me, or does Bassitt look really red in the face tonight?

[Willets Point]

Packy Naughton, alum of my son's school, takes the mound. Not sure why he's named after a liquor store.

[Edgy MD]

Gary made the same reference when he started warming up, possibly in observance of Naughton's Boston roots.

[Edgy MD]

Bassitt is throwing some really slow curves all of a sudden.

[Edgy MD]

And Cahna is flashing some really smoove defense.

[Willets Point]

Yes, he Cahna!

Long fly outs > dingers

[Edgy MD]

Terrific job by Bassit, but he sure seemed to be working on fumes that inning.

Interstate exited.

[Willets Point]

Third Packy in Major League history, first since 1938.

[Lefty Specialist]

Hope Trevor May remains nailed to the bullpen bench tonight.

[kcmets]

Time to stretch...
