CREAM : WHISKY A GO-GO 1967 : TALES OF BRAVE ULYSSES .

[robbopaloobop]

my understanding was that every band in the US at that time practically sh*t their pants when they saw and heard Cream play live

[MDSchicago]

must have

[robodoll]

didn't they play The Shrine Auditorium that same year?

[fleetwoodbrawm]

D D D D D D D D DEAR  GOD! AMAZING!

[MattHatter]

How the hell my mom missed this show I'll never know! My mother was a huge Cream fan right from their start, after a friend played "Fresh Cream" at a party and she flipped for it. My mom saw The Beatles twice, The Doors at the Hollywood Bowl, Hendrix at Anaheim Convention Center, Jefferson Airplane at The Shrine, but she somehow missed CREAM!

@MattHatter You have the coolest Mom of all time!

[MattHatter]

@stuart5223 Why thank you! Yes, I was DEFINITELY blessed with a cool mom. Might I add she also saw Canned Heat, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, The Chambers Brothers, The Yardbirds, The Byrds, and CCR.

@MattHatter NO DEAD? She should be ashamed...

[MattHatter]

@AvirtualSwitzerland Well, The Dead wasn't for everybody. For some reason The Dead passed my mom by. She loved Airplane, Moby Grape (the best late '60s San Francisco band as far as I'm concerned), Steve Miller Band, and Quicksilver Messenger Service but she never got into The Dead.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@MattHatter  Jerry Garcia even said MOBY GRAPE was his favorite

[MattHatter]

@AvirtualSwitzerland I believe it. They had the same elements The Dead had, only Grape was tighter and more energetic. Almost like a punk version of The Dead.

[Aldebaron9]

@MattHatter Grape, Gilbert Grape? oh.... you mean, Mobey Grape...

[Akorps666]

[toughserb145]

[botvinnik64]

ridiculous  how did they do it?

[fumetti]

[sunovbich]

TOTALLY EPIC!!!!

[sunfloweraquarian]

Saw two nights two sets a night and yes the volume was intense, but the LSD made it tolerable. Ha Ha

[CosmicXRay]

cool, Jack using a Marshall P.A. head in addition to his other head

for those who haven't been in the Whiskey, it's a very small club – the volume must have been pretty intense

btw, how does one leave their wah-wah at home? – haha

[VIDJACK]

eric left his wah-wah home. but he burns it up just the same.  he has to - with bruce way out in front. great performance.
