John Mayall's Blues Breakers was a real spawning ground for the early British guitarists. But they all wanted to leave and do their own thing. They apparently felt stifled playing with him. And that was a great Yardbirds clip. There are some very good ones with Jimmy Page, particularly with the band playing Shapes of Things and Over, Under, Sideways, Down. There's even one with Clapton but it's a little hard to hear him play.
