Yesterday was Jimi Hendrix (which I enjoyed greatly) today I am listening to Cream. In my head I relate the two of them together. They were both power trios of exemplary musicians. They were both highly original. They came out of the same psychedelic blues and featured superb guitarists!
Both were incredibly exciting to see live.
I was eighteen when we conned our way into the press enclosure at the Windsor Jazz and Blues festival and got to stand at the front right in front of the stage. Cream blew me away. They were so powerful.
Disraeli Gears was just superb. In my opinion none of its members ever achieved such heights again. Such a tragedy that they split up. Perhaps they should have just had a year’s break and come back together? (As for Blind Faith, Airforce, Dominoes and the rest – poor in comparison).
Today I shall be blasting out my Cream – I have a new live album of radio stuff. It sounds brilliant.
Cream with my coffee, Cream with my tea, Cream with everything!!
Have a great day in Isolation!!
Have a good ol’ boogie!!
Today is the Cream of the Cream!
