Crossroads - Cream (1968 Farewell Concert)

[uncasist]

The echo is indeed the hall. If you listen to the full concert, Ginger ends up playing every song in tempo with slapback echo. The only way to get a better recording there is go direct from the board, which i am sure was not an option back then. (If they even had a mixing board.) High ceilings and big open space..... good for acoustic orchestras- but very bad for stacks of Marshalls.

Who put all the echo on there? Really muddies it up, bad.

@EdSullivan101 it's the albert hall itself - everything recorded there sounds like shit in that regard. it's not built for rock.

[EdSullivan101]

@UngKristen It's not the hall, it's the recording. Listen to concerts in there by Zeppelin or The Who, no obnoxious echo. Besides, it's only on Eric's guitar solos.

I like this better than the Winterland version

[1234567893866]

beautiful song. I think that this cover is really great. It has all the pathos of the original plus Clapton personal touch!

[foonman50]

Haven't heard this version before... wow Yes and Rory Gallagher on the same bill.
