Yardbirds has always been an underrated band in the evolution of rock.
That is an interesting clip. It may have been the last ever TV performance by the Yardbirds and I remember reading it was from a local pop program in Cleveland during the band's final tour. They dissolved a few months later and then Page recruited 3 new members. They briefly continued as the Yardbirds until Page settled on a new name: Led Zeppelin.Sene5,
Although I believe you have posted the more historically accurate video on Heartful of Soul, it's not the most interesting one. I posted the most interesting one which is below. It's interesting for several reasons apart from being in color: (1) it shows a young Jimmy Page, he of his pre-Led Zeppelin glory years, performing lead guitar; and (2) a much more emotive vocals performance by their late lead singer Keith Relf, even if lip psyching. He would be electrocuted to death in 1976 while performing with an ungrounded guitar.
Your video above is historically accurate because the song came out in 1965 and the lead guitar was by Jeff Beck who is shown performing it in the video you posted. In 1968 Jimmy Page was doing the lead because he replaced Beck in the band at that point, although they may have overlapped. To me (and I agree with you) the lead guitar by Beck on that song and a few others was a signature riff of the music of the 1960s and deeply influential to other musicians. Still it is interesting to see Page perform Beck's signature work here (click on the link below if it says video is disabled):

Prince, Let's Go Crazy
Prince's guitar solos are mind-blowing.
