1966:

You might want to listen to Jimi Hendrix's House Burning Down right after listening to Happenings Ten Years Time Ago. Maybe it's just me, but I feel a connection there, like maybe Jimi was influenced by Jimmy, or at least by The Yardbirds' song, which was released two years prior to Hendrix's.

Not saying anybody else will hear it. Not saying it's a bad thing, if it's actually a thing. Not saying anything about anyone "stealing" a song, either. To me it just shows once again how a great musician stands on the shoulders of the musicians before him (or her). And if Hendrix never ever heard the Yardbirds

1976

Just ten years later, Led Zeppelin was premiering their movie, "The Song Remains the Same". An amazing journey.
