From the New York Times, 28 Apr 05:

As we were talking to [Ron] Delsner backstage, KEN DASHOW, the D.J. at Q104 , came into the room.

Mr. Delsner told him that he was going to London to see CREAM, which is having a reunion concert in May at the Royal Albert Hall.

"There's no shot they're coming to Madison Square Garden?" Mr. Dashow asked.

"I had them," Mr. Delsner said. "I had them, man. Then GINGER BAKER got cold feet because he had to get through an embassy in Toronto or Ottawa."

Two marijuana offenses in the early 70's had complicated Mr. Baker's attempts to enter the United States from South Africa, where he lives. "Nothing about heroin or overstaying his visas," Mr. Delsner said.

"I was negotiating. I even had posters made. They'll be a collector's item."
