Anyone see the photo's of the Cream show? Gee, I don't remmember Ginger Baker using a walker..
Someone wrote that they lost steam on some of the longer songs, what a surprise, Jack Bruce looked stressed; he wasn't singing White Room he was asking for the Bathroom.

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?).

Cream played the night before last. Ginger baker wasn't really in a walker but the journalists claimed they looked real old; christ he's 65!
Allison Steele right, late night new music everyweek. Remmember the day Tommy was released? WNEW played the whole album through non-stop. Those were the days. I almost understand how the roaring twenties and flappers felt when the war killed the music.
Love the Bathous; I see bats behind my house every night, I should build one.

There was, however, a dark side to that era: as far as I could tell, every girl played only three albums, and they were ALL by Joni Mitchell.

"I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you got something I need

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out you see
I been looking around awhile
You got something for me
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl

I asked your mother if you were at home
She said, yes .. but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you've got something I need

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out to see
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key"

The mind reels.
