I have an original program from that tour too; it cost me a lot more than 99 cents!
The Caravan of Stars Tour was actually late 1966. Jeff Beck flaked out and left the tour after the fourth gig (Oct 30, 1966 in Corpus Christie, TX). The Yardbirds went on to cancel three appearances on this tour, two for illness (Nov 24-25) and the
date in Little Rock (Nov 4) for an undetermined reason.

The 1967 Dick Clark Caravan of Stars tour
Started by Honeydripper,http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/501-the-1967-dick-clark-caravan-of-stars-tour/
This was the tour during the brief dual lead guitar period where Jeff
Beck decided to get off the bus two weeks into the tour.....never to
return. From here on out Page and Grant were to take the helm of the
Yardbirds into a new "psychedelic blues" direction and the ideas and
spirit of what was to become Led Zeppelin were born.
The Dick Clark tours had been going on since the early 60's and mixed pop, soul, blues, and other various artists on the same bill. This tour featured....in order....The Distant Cousins, Jimmy Clanton, Brian Hyland, Bobby Hebb, The Yardbirds, Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs, and Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
Here's a few pics of my tour program....which I found in a pile of used Hit Parade/Creem/Circus mags in a used record store for 99 cents back in the mid 80's. (you never know what you might find in those stores
)

JEFF BECK LEFT THE YARDBIRDS on the DICK CLARK TOUR,
and then they kicked him out of the band.
The frustration within the group itself began to amount, manifesting particularly in guitarist Jeff Beck, which even he in hindsight would admit, "I was quite messed up, at 21 I was really on my last legs. I just couldn't handle it." Jimmy would later relate a story that truly highlights Beck's state of mind at the time, "One time in the dressing room, Beck had his guitar up over his head, about to bring it down on Keith Relf, but instead smashed it to the floor. Relf looked at him with total astonishment, and Beck said 'why did you make me do that?'"
Thus it was that in the middle of the tour, after a stop in Texas, Beck departed for the airport claiming that he was ill, inflamed tonsils was the story he sold the rest of the group, and took off for parts unknown. Beck told his tour mates that he was off to seek treatment for his condition and was hopeful that he would be able to return to finish out the band's time on the caravan. However, after word got back that Beck was spotted cavorting around Los Angeles, the rest of The Yardbirds decided it was time to part ways with the temperamental Jeff Beck. Chris Dreja would remark simply, "Having two guitarists was no longer a great idea."
The band would go on to finish up their time on the caravan and high tail it back to England now just a four piece, and with Jimmy as their sole guitarist.
