Cream, oh yeh

Right now I am watching CREAM in concert at the Royal Albert Hall, from 2005.  They’re all looking a bit old – Ginger Baker looks like Clint Eastwood, which is a bit weird – but Oh My Goodness can they play!  Interesting – jack Bruce is using a four-string; I thought he used to use a 5- or even 6-string.  They’ve done the DVD in a very interesting way:  taken bits from all four nights, and put it together.  They included a couple of songs from different nights as a bonus, which is cool.  (Right now Ginger Baker is playing “Toad”, all on his lonesome – the other two left the stage to give him the limelight – reminds me of John Bonham playing “Moby Dick”.)

It’s made me go and find some Cream bass tabs; I can already (basically) play “Sunshine of your Love”…).
