Paul – Great site. I was in the band – the Morning (with Randy Burns as lead vocalist) – that opened for Cream at Woolsey Hall on 4/10/1968. Baker was a monster. I did a post about it: http://businesslessonsfromrock.blogspot.com/2008/04/night-with-eric-clapton-cream.html

OK. Good idea. I’ll have to think about that one. I can think of a few poor performances of shows I happened to be at for one reason or another, not necessarliy because I wanted to be there. Wait. I’ve just thought of one, perhaps a few more. I’ll get on that. Thanks.

This comment seems to have been trapped between sites for some reason. That’s why it took a while to appear.

I was lucky. I was in the right places at the right times. I went to the Cream concert at Madison Square Garden in October, 2005, and although they were good the Albert Hall DVD is a better performance, plus despite paying top price I was about half-way back in the Garden.

I’m a big fan of Bruce also, for his singing and playing. And yes, Baker’s jazz offerings in the ’90s were very interesting, particularly the ones with Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden.

But yes I agree, together they were magic.

Never got to see Cream or Hendrix live, saw many of my other Rock faves as well as Blues and Jazz artists. Cream’s recent reunion DVD is most satisfying, though. Did see Clapton but in a stadium. infield but not close and well before projection TV. Not a great memory.

There’s little music (from my youth) that I return to on a regular basis, but Cream is one band I’ve I still enjoy. I always loved Jack Bruce’s voice but his solo work was disappointing, as was Ginger Baker’s (except I do like some of his more recent jazz-based stuff). Clapton continues to do great things. Together, they were just magic.
