Thread Name: Cream to reform
Subject: RE: Cream to reform
Just saw the Reunion concert on PBS and was surprisingly blown away. The thunder and lightning was still there. Bruce was singing and playing great, Ginger Baker was better and a tad more subtle,IMO,than in the early days and Clapton was really on. The rapport was still there as evidenced by the final jam after Sunshine of Your Love. I agree with the correspondent above about Clapton's tone on "Crossroads" I missed the old Gibson/Marshall sound but even with the modern strat it was was pretty damn good.
Did anyone from across the Atlantic make it to the show? vl
