SkydiveStMarys 0 #1 October 28, 2005 I had NO IDEA that these guys were together and playing again, well they may not be now, but they were and still may. I would pay BIG $$ to see them in concert!!!!!! Bobbi __________________________________________________ Just days after the legendary group performed concerts in New York, the Eric Clapton-led band may have split up for good. According to a Reuters report, the band's promoter and publicist say the trio's recent shows were likely their last. "The band has no plans for the future," publicist Kristen Foster of KFPR told the news agency Thursday. The "Strange Brew" singers are just coming off reforming for a string of shows in London, New York and Los Angeles over the past few months. The English blues-rock pioneers could have surely launched a larger world tour based on the strength of the recent gigs; yet the appetite to do so is apparently not strong for remaining band members Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Clapton. Cream announced they would re-form last December in England. They went on to perform their first show in decades at London's venerable Royal Albert Hall in May--the same venue was the site of the power trio's final gig in 1968. Since the group's disintegration 35 years ago, the only other time Clapton, Bruce and Baker appeared onstage together was when they performed a scorching three-song set at Cream's 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After the jam, an emotional Clapton told audience members that he was "moved" by the band's performance, sparking a decade's worth of talk of a possible reunion. "It's been so long since I've been around something from somebody else that's inspired me. For the last 20 years, it's been up to me to inspire me," Clapton said at the time. Cream was formed in 1966 when Clapton left another Hall of Fame band, the Yardbirds, and hooked up with Bruce, a Scotsman from blues outfit Manfred Mann, and Baker, who played toms for the Graham Bond Organization. Known for its blues and psychedelic-infused jams, the threesome quickly established itself among the rock pantheon. The band released just four albums in two years--Fresh Cream, Disreali Gears, Wheels of Fire and Goodbye--but left an indelible mark on classic rock with such radio standards as "Sunshine of Your Love," "Strange Brew," "Spoonful," "White Room" and "Crossroads."A miracle is not defined by an event.

Saw Clapton with George Harrison Atlanta in mid 70s. Saw Ginger Baker's Air Force in Germany '82.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #7 October 28, 2005 Lets face it...there are some groups/singers that sound great live and then there are others that sound better on CD, uh the beauty of a mixing board. I have seen a few in concert that I would have much preferred so save my money and just keep listening to them on CD. BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

popsjumper 2 #8 October 28, 2005 After...George was a forgiving soul.... "...there are some groups/singers that sound great live and then there are others that sound better on CD" Agreed, but Cream was balls-to-the-wall live. As an aside...Jeff Beck was another lead player who kicked ass on stage....amazing how some of those guys could make one guitar sound like bass-rythym-lead all rolled into one.My reality and yours are quite different.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #17 October 28, 2005 Its funny to hear my son, Tom, sing the songs. He scooped up all of the rock tees at Target. First day of school he wore a Rolling Stones tee, second day of school a Pink Floyd tee. I too, have to keep track of the cds he "borrows", pisses me off though when he snags the ones out of my truck! LOL!! though he has a couple that he bought that I have since "borrowed". What comes around goes around and not just fashion my friend!! Just warms the cockles of my soul, it does!!!! BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.
