MB,My computer's been down -- sorry I didn't respond to your Spirit post.
Between Spirit and Cream, Cream was my cup of tea. Jeez, I remember when all of a sudden I became aware in Ninth Grade there was all this amazing music coming out almost daily -- Cream, Jimi, Janis. I was like a kid in candy store. I still have all those albums, I'm happy to say.
Where/when was the Cream show? I didn't hear about it. Ginger Baker in a walker? Frankly, that's better than I expected -- he looked half dead thirty years ago. Just last week I was playing my Blind Faith album (the one with the barely pubescent girl on the cover -- how did they get away with that?).
