A couple Yardbirds of a feather will return to the nest this February when Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, two of the greatest guitarists to ever pick up the instrument, will headline a pair of shows at the Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Although the two each got their start in The Yardbirds, they weren't in the legendary British band at the same time. Rather, Beck replaced Clapton after the latter left the band.
Clapton has made interesting reunions a near annual event, helping reform Cream in 2005 and pairing up with former Blind Faith bandmate Steve Winwood in 2008. Unlike Clapton's previous efforts, he won't be letting out New York City's Madison Square Garden for the occasion so anyone wanting to see Clapton and Beck battle it out on the same stage better start brushing up on their Japanese.
