Interesting how filming was mostly ignored back then, I suspect that today the cameraman would have been challenged during some of the sequences. Perhaps it was a very long lens . . .

I think I've posted this 1968 Linda McCartney shot of the Yardbirds before somewhere on the forum but here it is again, and why not.... I posted it in a '60s and 70s London nostalgia facebook group the other day (it does have its uses but I know not everyone likes it) and Jim McCarty seen in the driving seat replied saying he remembers the pic being taken, it was the band's brief period as a four piece before becoming the New Yardbirds and then Jimmy Page starting afresh with Led Zeppelin.... it was taken outside Jim's flat in Hollywood Road, SW10....

Nice bit of BMC period goodness.... Keith Richards and chums larking about near his country pad in West Wittering, 12th February 1967, a few hours later there was a knock at Keith's door and the local rozzers marched in on a drugs raid after being tipped off by the News Of The World....
