i wish... there was abetter version of the beautiful song....i had it on LP man y years ago
i wonder about Jacks state of mind duringhtisd performance while there are man y great spots inhis vocals ..hes erratic and really mixes up the words...but such a pro he covers it= i love Jack.. hes my biggest music hero=and i wish i could hear another live version of this song.
I agree that Clapton is more boring and basic, except the vocals. Sometimes with Cream he would sound more jazz influenced and creative, including guitar feedback. Mick Taylor was the same, but played rock n roll songs with the Stones. Taylor approached playing jazz as playing better and more necessary, if that makes sense. Musicians all have some nice and interesting qualities.
I love Jack Bruce. He and Ginger Baker were willing to step out and follow their musical instincts into new sounds. Clapton stayed in the same place and was never as adventurous. I guess he's stayed true to his blues beginnings but Bruce and Baker went into more interesting and challenging realms. Not everything worked but they took chances. Because of that they never equaled Clapton's commercial success. I'll listen to a Bruce cd before a Clapton anytime. And BLT with Robin Trower kicked ass.
This song is stuck in my head. It makes me very happy and want 2 play with dynamics all the time. I'm a guitarist who has been inspired by Taylor, Bruce, and Clapton along with countless others. I'm ecstatic that this music exists and I have to learn and play it out sometime in my life.
How fantastic this is!The songwritng team intended with this group never materialized,all of this fantastic talent plus Peter Brown to do the lyrics.Yet sadly Jack has proven again and again to be his own worst enemy.How much better than this band are you going to do?
you should read Jack bruce: Composing Himself (authorized biography). Jack didn't end this band, mick taylor did. JB loved this band, and was very hurt when it fell apart. Evryone in that book who has played w/ jack says they did their best work w/ him, and that he doesn't push people, he inspires them, but many can't take the heat.
another tune by jack that few people have heard, jack's solo career, though not as publicly heard as Clapton's, still stands the test of time for those rock fans that enjoy the work of good musicians and song writers like Jack
When you said' exile the greatest record ever' , that was enough , you can't get into it, because it's over your head! Same advice to you, check out ac/dc you will be more comfortable in your own sphere.
im sorry jack bruce....virtuosity or challengging music doesnt wins....exile on main street...probably the greatest record ever....this band's records & sound?...forgotten on a huge sea of jam bands from that era & probably dissed even by jack & their own fans by now...ps: good artists though....gotta admit..but also thousands of them from the 60s-70s...i mean future "dream theater" cats
Wonderous!!!! Carla on the emi, B3 AND The Mellotron.........Jack Is THE Master Musician of the British Scene and anywhere else for that matter......Fabulous pianist himself...
whao love this song but he is doingit all mmixed up when was this done? i had the How's tricks album but this song wasnt lioke this..... think jack was high?
Again, thanks so much for this posting. Compostions on those early JB albums are just so amazingly interesting . . . always surprising. I'm trying to remember, wasn't this one from How's Tricks?
Yes this song was on Hows Tricks.But this version was played 2 years earlier in 1975.Sadly this group never lasted long enough to record it.Viva You Tube!
Thanks! Yes, I thought Jack looked a mite younger here than he did in that tuxedo shot on How's Tricks. Absolutely, viva YouTube. Jack's been my chief musical inspiration and I only got to see him once, with the Cobham/Spedding/Sanctious band at Santa Monica. Closest I'll ever come to seeing Jesus.

This was not Mick Taylor and Jack Bruce.
It was in fact the Jack Bruce Band.
Taylor was a member of Jack's band as was Carla Bley, Ron Leahy and Bruce Gary.
Taylor had left the Rolling Stones to play something challenging.
