Haha, the Yardbirds with Rory Gallagher! I have this album somewhere in my mess. There were actually two albums, methinks, with lotsa cool guests. Hey Bill, I've never heard Rory Gallagher on RP...he was a fine guitarist and singer who wrote some great songs... |

| countyman (pittsburgh) | Posted: Oct 09, 2008 - 16:31 For everyone out there, these are members of the Yardbirds. That's why it's Led Zeppelinish. |

Do you think it would benefit from some cowbell instead? |
| felam (City By The Bay, Ca) | Posted: Apr 03, 2008 - 10:46 A box of frogs, sounds like fun!  |
| coolpeople_rule | Posted: Mar 02, 2008 - 21:58 Led Zep...ish?? Sounds like the Box of Frogs are back to their same old Box of Trix! |

Don't just stop at La Grange --- On The Road Again by Canned Heat, Saving Grace by Tom Petty, on and on and on ... Speaks to the resilience of a 50 year old chord progression. And, for what it's worth, I like em all --- even the Petty tune. |

| Hinkamp (Planet Utah) | Posted: Jan 31, 2008 - 11:50 not crazy about the song but nice find... a supergroup I had never heard of. |

I agree with the others who don't particularly care for the name but thank you for making it a little more fun.  |

Maybe it's used at matches in the US? No, back in the 70's, Edwin Newman, an American journalist, wrote a couple of books on the uses, misuses, and oddities of the English language. He recalled hearing that at an English football match and could never trace the origins. My friends and I tried using it a few times at baseball games, but as you might imagine, it only attracted odd glances from other spectators. |

Pretty sure La Grange came after - so does that knock it down as a copy of a copy? |
