Jack Bruce died of liver disease Saturday at age 71.One of my favorite bass players and vocalists has passed.He helped shape my vocals when I was starting out as a singer,and I still do Cream songs to this day.
Speaking of Ginger Baker, if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend "Beware of Mr. Baker" on Netflix. Ginger is still kicking and is quite a "character".
That's sad news. I just saw a video of Cream playing in an English hall roughly 2 years ago. They talked about how when they got back together and tried using their original instruments it just didn't sound good so they started playing with what they use today and I can tell you, they sounded better than ever! It's a great video with interviews with the boys and a collection of songs from 3 or 4 nights of concerts. Jack will be missed.
Tootal- that was actually 10 years ago, when Cream did their one and only reunion in Royal Albert Hall in the UK and Madison Square Gardens in NY. Jack did use the old Gibson EB-0 bass for at least a couple of songs but played a Warwick for most of the show. Clapton used his signature Strat and Fender amps for the whole show.
I have those shows on DVD; I need to pull it out and watch it again.
Well the friend that showed it to me told me 2 but then again he's A-D-D!! Thanks for a more accurate description, all I really know was it was really good and now we'll never hear Cream like that again.
