Damn Bob - that makes me kinda jealous. Too bad the shows sucked, but at least you can say you were there! I'll check out that Jimi record and add it to the collection. I have most all of his works in stock, but I don't have that one. Thanks for the tip.

Sol - Cream underrated? Do you live under a rock? They were the GODS of rock until Jimi went over to the UK and showed em' how it was done (poor Eric didn't know what hit him). Remember, this was when the Beatles got all the press.

Cream is, hands down, the best power trio of all time. Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were the best of the best at their respective roles. Clapton gets all the glory, but Ginger made the band. His jazz influence and odd timings on a small kit were second to none. Hard choice between Ginger, Bonham or Bill Ward (Sabbath) as the best rock drummers of all time. Neil Peart can suck it.

Listen closely to Ginger's small kit on White Room. Nobody was doing these jazz beats back then.
