Rollingstone.com reports: According to an industry insider, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck are going to tour as THE YARDBIRDS this fall alongside founding bassist Chris Dreja and drummer Jim McCarty. The tour is said to kick off this October. It's unclear who will be the reformed YARDBIRDS' lead singer (original vocalist Keith Relf died of electrocution in 1976). Eric Clapton, THE YARDBIRDS' founding guitarist, has no plans to participate, according to the source.

I didn't think Page and Beck played in the band at the same time, or was it Page and Clapton?

Actually, Clapton and Page were not in the band at the same time. Beck replaced Clapton, then Page was brought in on bass when their bassist quit. Then, rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja took on bass duties and you had Beck & Page on guitar for a short time before Beck quit.

Sry folks

Contradicting a published report, Jeff Beck's manager tells Billboard.com the guitarist has no plans to tour with Jimmy Page, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty as the Yardbirds this fall.

Beck's manager says "there is no truth to any rumors" regarding Beck's role in the potential reunion. The artist finishes a European tour tonight (July 20) and will play Eric Clapton's Crossroads festival in Chicago in August, but has no further touring on his schedule for the rest of the year at this time.

Page and Beck played together in the Yardbirds briefly in 1966; the band split up two years later, but Dreja and McCarty have toured under the name for the past two decades. That incarnation of the outfit, which also includes several much younger musicians, has U.S. tour dates booked through late August.
