    67 here. Whoya ! Witnessed CREAM on their Goodbye Tour at the then "Fabolous Forum" in Los Angeles. 1st concert AT $6.50. Followed this man from the Bluesbreakers on but no matter who he has played with you always....know its him. Articulate, clean, fast, gracious on stage and soooo soulful. Thank you indeed Eric Clapton ! We on the senior tour were so lucky to actually see live, EC and the other amazing axmen mentioned below in our life time. Gonna be a good while before such collective musicianship comes this way again. What a ride !!!

    • @nelsonanthoine6293
      @nelsonanthoine6293 2 місяці тому +1

      Cream live at the LA Forum is a classic recording, maybe their last show (or one up in San Francisco after that). The Ginger Baker drum solo at that concert, in "Toad", is unsurpassed in rock, with amazing polyrhythms, creativity and drive. I luckily saw EC twice, in '74 in SF, and about '85 in Sacramento with Ry Cooder opening (they didn't play together, unfortunately).
      Derek and the Dominoes with Duane Allman may be his best album.

    This is probably one of THE BEST examples you will ever find to illustrate the importance and the affect of playing the pocket.
    Right after a few bars, you can see the keyboard player is bopping, Willie is bopping and then the song just explodes.
    Steve Jordan's performance on this song, in my opinion, puts this live version on my MUST HAVE and MUST HEAR Steve Jordan list.

      @Rick Bray VERY TRUE ! I wish I could be brief but..its not easy.
      But growin up in the 50's was not all about what kids needed.. Being a teen in the 60's meant go out and start saving for your dreams.. But we did find Cream, '67 Doors, Stones, Beatles, Neal Young.. and 50 more greats that were exploding with great sounds and lyrics.
      Which ALL did take us with THEM and we are generally tougher and more greatful than kids that were coddled.
      Of course Eric was mostly spoiled and overall as lucky his grandparents kept him close and much- loved AND even got a guitar!!/s. and Art School!!
      Blue collars did not often get STUFF..but we found a similar friend and we . Getting by with a little help from our friend..and Cream did flaming great blues all their own..a and sooh original.
      I sure wish he would tour inside the USA..he lives NY AND CALI..
      BICOASTAL IS just unfair. Since he lives in Cali. And toured Europe twice in lat 6 years..and many London gigs under the radar.
      I wish I could at least get their impeccable SOUNDBOARDS.
      The profits could SAAVE THE WORLD!!
      OR THE Planet. OR STOP THE CRUCIFICATION OF PEOPLE DYING OR LIVING IN THE WORST OF PAIN. THE FEDS Have NO proof of our sickest overdosing or misusing or sharing what keeps them alive. Feds just now to pharmas who bribe with gifts and vacations worth a chalet ..also given for bribes.
      As the sick suffer and hi-dose fentanyl From China..is being blamed on pharmaceuticals..which have fractional and ultra perfect dosage which is not made to party. it saves suicides..or..it used to.
      Eric may be unaware but he is someone who now lives with very tough pain. He gets the best pain help. others are now cut off and aggressively prescribed products that do not help the higher pain levels that do ruin lives. It never creates addictive behavior for those in worst paIn.. because pain patients now and a let a appreciated the reasonable relief and prescribed dose is the only way it works for decades + allows a livable life.
      I know too much about the deadliest pain that often comes from a long life of hard work or basic sports and even fitness. Or- deformities. And botched surgeries with no re-do. +too many Illnesses or conditions with no cure and all who can not even stand, sit up, eat nd drink..without softening their pain.
      End of "Why we can't let Feds go on taking bribes and blaming our sickest who can't protest, can't re vel..Can't organize and work to organize some of the 40 million being treated worse than pets and even suicides. yes its as dirty fact. and of course the news anchors don't. share the Feds betrayal of our sickest. or they, too get big money to turn away from betrayals of our vets and our sickest.

    Steve Jordan: Using the simplest of sets, no fancy effects, minimum micing, doesn't even look like they have in-ear monitors,,,nevertheless he's spot on throughout the entire 8 1/2 minute groove! His left foot never stops...the hi-hat slapping all the time. Totally precise and restrained with class. Man is he good!
    BTW, Charlie Watts' personal pick as his replacement for the current Stones tour.
