Love Jack Bruce too! I was lucky enough to see Cream live on their "Farewell" Tour in 1968 when I was a mere 16 yo - wow, guess I really am getting old - Nobody else plays and sings like JB!

Me too Tom saw their farewell. As for age, it's in the mind, as the majority of the audience were around 60ish so I felt at home.

You lucky devil Tom, i was a Cream fan but still at school - and Hog did you mean their reunion gigs a few years a go?

 

The Blues "got" me all those years ago in the 60's....it never lets you go (-;

No Steve I did not see Cream at the reunion I saw them when they were around first time (yes I am that old!). Had to make do with the DVD set for the 2005 bash. If you haven't seen the gig the DVD's are well worth buying.

Hogs - I agree with you on the DVD - their reunion was pretty good and worth having - my only complaint was Claptons guitar choice - yeah I know the strat has been his weapon of choice since Layla - but an SG or Les Paul would have been a better choice for those shows IMHO - T

I agree Tom but that Warwick thumb bass that Jack plays is beautiful!

Q.  What do Eric Clapton and coffee have in common?

A.  They both suck without Cream.

Very funny Shane.....he he (-:  ...though black coffee can taste sweeter with a little sugar!   The old "God" hasn't done too bad for himself, has he?
