June 7th - 1968 On This Day - The Yardbirds

 
'They were rioting in Chicago, movement in L.A.
Sixty-eight it broke up The Yardbirds.
We were broke as well.
Took it underground, M.C. Borderline, up against the wall.
The wall. The wall.
 Show your papers, boy.'
Patti Smith Citizen Ship.'
 
The Yardbirds split on this day in 1968. Here's their guest spot whil both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were in the band in Antonioni's 1967 film about Swinging London Blow Up. A very odd period piece at this remove.
