Jack Bruce Live - Theme for an Imaginary Western

[MaryJoMuser]

I LOVE HIS VOICE! Alway have... awesome as ever!

[squidlycarmichael]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Master sings one of the best songs of his life! I've never seen him on the piano, so this was a double-treat! SO freakin' AMAZING!

[SAHBfan]

Yep, Clem Clemson of Colosseum on guitar. In his recent biography Jack Bruce describes Clem as 'one of his favourite guitarists' - which is a pretty great accolade coming from Jack Bruce - he's played with a few good ones ;-)

[looselyride]

the guitar player ?is that clem clemson of humble pie ? looks like him!

[aektzis91]

great performance from bruce, but that guitar solo was so incredible

[rpcurtiss]

Simply beautiful.

Back in the late 80's I went to Mississippi Nights in St..Louis to see the Jack Bruce Band. It was raining like hell when I was running across the street to the club. About half way there, some dude that had been running ahead of me went in first and held the door open for me..when I got in and said thanks to him I discovered that it was none other than Jack Bruce himself.!! Whata trip and great Show.

[slacka1]

I've listened to Jack all through his career. I thank him for sharing his musical ideas

with all of us. We will miss him profoundly when he is gone. Please enjoy all of the ideas he has brought to the table and relish in the thought that you were lucky to have been able to appreciate him in the time you lived!

who is on bass?

[EdTracey347]

@gy4b70

That is François Garny on bass.

[MrBlackmambo]

Talking about a great song: this is 1!! I LOVE IT!!!

[BruceBloodSister1]

He is a true artist in every sense of the word, shame it is not his bass, but guess even he cannot play piano and bass at the same time live! I just love his voice, amazing.

[CoolOKeefe]

Beautiful song, I posted a version of me singing Theme.........

[hoz49]

I always loved this song. Makes more sense than "Whiter shade of pale..."

[gy4b70]

the song is about the end of cream

[loveybells77]

jack bruce is one of my favorite musician

one of the best base players ever this song still sends chills up my spine . First time seeing this version

[saturnative]

I must admit, my favourite version of this song is and still remains the Colosseum with Chris Farlowe singing.

But this is just my opinion..

[triptoheaveandho]

THIS WAS ALWAYS A JACK BRUCE SONG KIDS... he is my greatest musical hero. there is a version onyoutube if him just playiongit on;piano shortly aftyer it was written beautiful this is jack singinmg it much later ih his career

[depper]

I think you need to do a little research on your hero. Yes Jack Bruce wrote the song. In fact he stated on the Howard Stern show that it was his favorite tune he wrote, but that Clapton wanted nothing of it. So Bruce gave the song to Mountain. Bruce then stated after hearing it that Leslie had the best vibrato he's ever heard, better than Clapton.

[depper]

West, Bruce & Laing performed this tune in their heyday in the early/mid 70's. Mountain performed it up to this day. However, Bruce and West often performed this hit whevever they crossed paths in the 80s and 90s. My favorite was this one (search with the quotes):

"Theme For An Imaginary Western - Jack Bruce & Leslie West"

[triptoheaveandho]

not sure what your discrfepancy is with anything in my comment i have had this song since the early days of Jack's solo career and also very aware of the interviews Jack gave in order to promo West Bruce and Laing-where he stated that he liked Wests playing better than clapton's (so do i) and of copurse we are all familkiar with the woodstock two Mountain version.

[RobGasoline]

Good Song from Mountain!

Well played as only Jack Bruce can do...

[bruceisjack]

This song has been written by Jack...

[proferic]

It's not from Mountain. It's a Jack bruce/Pete Brown song. It was on Songs for a Tailor. It was originally to be a Cream song, but Clapton didn't want to do it.

[Mortslake]

Oh its from his 50th birthday... cool.

[MadOKO899]

jack bruce is a musical beast

[npspec34]

This a great song,

it is just a boring version.

It is like a death march here.

[epimetero]

he makes the right atmosphere..that's all, he wrote the song and he knows how it should be played...it think that

[abadir90]

you got that man

[Norlander1955]

Jack you can do it ,either way guitar or piano you are very talented.

[npspec34]

fell asleep

[nickgrant123]

got the full gig on dvd...awesome stuff specially the BBM set

[0xym0r0nized]

There's a great live CD called "Cities of the Heart" with Clem Clemson on Simon Philiips...

[Mortslake]

this is the same show..

[manuelsosah]

This is a wonderful song, from "Songs for a taylor", as far as from 1969. But in this version I am very impressed by the guitar solo. It is fantastic!. Very well constructed and developed. My favorite guitar solo!. Dave "Clem" Clemson is a wonderful and very underrated guitarrist.

[drumsanddrumming]

Och med Simon Phillips på trummor.
