The eyes have it! Those of you who thought the flute was an oral wind instrument take note and watch IA's eyes! Remote control!

Saw them at the Cooks Ferry Inn Enfield , London back in PWCW +3 time!

Too mechanical not enough soul, time and originality and the drumming is just leaden and the Hendrix version was adopted by Dylan cos he was so impressed by it!

Keith cannot play lead - best stick to riffs and rhythm - Mick Taylor is a lost genius - now living in a humble ramshackle semi in Suffolk I believe awaiting a rather large cheque from the Stones - the best guitar player the stones should never have had!

Funny that - most americans I have met herer and there have had very recognisable , some would say rather thick, American accents,albeit with regional varaitions -but hey a close approximation to the Queen's English is fine with me!

Oh Dear You have just upset the whole Celtic nation. Bert was born in Glasgow! If you were an american you would be forgiven! They know bugger all really!

My first big festival -what a line-up - Canned Heat, Mothers, Jefferson Airplane, Byrds, Santana, Johnny Winter, John Mayall/Peter Green, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Colloseum, Steppenwolf, Fairports, Dr John,Moody Blues etc etc.

Just been thumbing through the programme I still have - one of the great festival line-ups of all time -anyplace,anytime anywhere! Travelled there mostly by double-decker from London along the old Bath road, the A4 with an old school friend John Barclay who happened to bring with him an old scout...

Apparently God is still alive! Discuss - all postcards, sorry emails, to Bertrand Russell C/O God.CO .UK - He has a branch in every country on every planet!

Lest we forget the talent on display. Looks like Dave Bronze on bass and Albert Lee, the guitarist's guitarist on lead! Who let the dancers on the stage!

The main reason George Terry played with Eric back in the 70's was for cover -some nights on stage Eric was completely legless and in some cases horizontal!I was at a lot of his 70's concerts.He came off heroin successfully and became a full blown alcoholic.George had to copy Eric's solos and sty...

Crikes takes me back to all the free festivals in Hyde Park in London late 60s - I always thought they were just tuning up at the time.

Its taken from the Cream's Farewell concert at the RAH in 68 where Tony palmer incorporated 3 interviews with Jack, Eric and Ginger (brave man)! I wish he could go back in a time machine and film it all again -properly!

Great stuff - Did you record any of the earlier stuff in the concert from the GBO and JB's solo career before the other JB came on?

oh fuck! Take it off the turntable and put Pink Floyd on - 2011 is it that time already -I might miss my last tube!

Albert and Gary are distanced by time , space, skin colour and historically US segregation laws but joined at the hip by the blues which crosses borders and generations. Albert has a great voice and iconic blues guitar style.Gary plays great guitar -not all talents are aportioned equally. Well ...

fabuloso -not 'arf! must have been sitting behind you!

I must have been sitting right behind you or possibly in front - row G - how come the " camera gestapo" did not give you a stern ticking off?

any more?

Trouble was they had Mick Taylor - genius in his own right and Clapton protege also from the John Mayall school of lead guitarists, but they did not recognise it! Was Keith jealous of his virtuosity- discuss? Just listen to Exile!

orgasmic or shitastic?

As Terry Thomas would say "that was an absolute stinker!!!!!!!
