"Just got a computer and just discovered you guys on YouTube. Simply superb is all I can say. Absolute aces. Keith's voice and the Jeff Beck guitar done to a tee. You are on my must see list. Could you let me have some dates for the UK in 2008 so that I can book my holidays so as not to miss you. Thanks and kind regards."

"Do you ever do performances on the East Coast such as Pittsburgh? I love the Yardbirds and have seen them twice, July 2006 and August 2007. Just wondered."
Patrick Aug 20, 2007
"Saw you guys at Sonora Blues Festival. You stole the show. Brought me back to when rock was pure. Please add me to your email list. I'll drive a hundred miles to see you perform."

"Hi. I wanted to let you know I loved your performance at Fire On The Mountain this past weekend. What a fun, talented group you are. Please add me to your mailing list. I hope that you have some dates in the San Jose area soon and play in the area regularly. I'll be there with my friends!"

"My wife Sherry and I were in the front row. I had my blue Roger the Engineer t shirt on with Jim McCartys signature on it, so the Raveups would know I was there as a Yardbird fan....WOW THESE GUYS ARE GOOD...I was "up" for every song....I looked around and people were streaming in wondering who are these guys?.....and sticking around to rock to some Yardbirds tunes....musicianship was sooooo good...it was amazing to hear some right on riffs.......Lead guitarist played so hard he bled all over his guitar....seemed like a bunch of nice guys too....easily the best band for us of the day....what a RAVE UP we had in Sonora............thanks"

"Loved seeing you guys at the Monterey Pop festival last weekend. You got a well deserved, great review in our local paper by the way. Do you plan to be in the Monterey area again soon? Please add me to your email distribution list, I would love to see you again."

"Super job on a great time in music--nothing better than The Yardbirds! Great guitar sounds too--love it! Question...AC 15 or AC 30's? Sounds great with the Tele. Your two guitar sound is killer..I love it! Makes me want to add a few new tunes to our set list! Thanks! www.four-on-the-floor.com"

"You guys are very good! I love The Yardbirds. Will you be playing in the Atlanta area in 2007? If not, how close to Atlanta will you be playing? I'd very much like to see you guys live. Any cd's or dvd's for sale?"
Scott Jul 5, 2007

"Job well done, gentlemen!! I saw the 'birds (with Jimmy) in 1966 in Santa Barbara, CA, went out & bought a guitar two days later, and have been playing ever since. To this day the band still inspires me, so I wanted to tell your guys what a great job you are doing in honoring them. The music sounds great... the tone is there, the equipment is there, and the playing is there! I'd be thrilled to be involved in a similar project out here in CA, so let me know if you ever hear of anything out this way.
Here's a bit of info for you... That night Page was using his Tele through a single Dual Showman head sitting between two cabinets, side by side. The cabs (2-15's each, standard Dual Showman cabs) were slightly angled towards each other. This allowed better feedback when he turned around and faced them - standing between the cabs. I recall Chris was playing the EB-2, and probably similar new Fender gear, as Jimmy, for amplification. I remember the bands amps all being new Fenders.. as a lot of English bands around that time period flew into LA (near where I live) and snatched up new guitars & amps."

"I heard and saw your band on YouTube and I think you sound great and authentic. I live in the Los Angeles area and would really like to see your band live. Is there any chance of any gigs in the L.A. area? If your considering it I recommend a classy concert, dinner venue called the Canyon Club just outside of the San Fernando valley as a possible option. I saw John Mayall there last month and it was a great show to a full house of appreciative fans of blues based music. You can contact them through their website and after they see your performances on the internet, I'd be shocked if you weren't asked to perform. Anyway if your not performing in L.A. and I'm up north and your performing somewhere, I'm there. I just might call them up and mention your band to them to see if I can possibly make this scenario happen. Keep making great music,"

"I have seen many, many tribute bands but you guys get the prize as far as I'm concerned. I'm very impressed with all you have done with The Yardbirds recorded versions. To my recollection The Yardbirds were not the great live group...at least not as amazing as on the albums. You have taken those recorded versions and made them believable! More than believable...unbelievable!!!"
