1966 Caravan of Stars - Winter Tour

The Winter Tour of 1966 featured the Yardbirds at a crucial period of their career.  Jimmy Page had just joined on bass and Jeff Beck was just about to jump out of the group.  Added to Caravan veterans Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Brian Hyland and Sam the Sham, it was an interesting mix of music and perhaps the last great Caravan of Stars tour.
