You are referring to Tony Palmer - thanks to him you have this superb piece of history - learn some respect young man or shut the f--k up.

Whenever I'm sick of rock music, Cream brings back that joy and hunger. My favorite rock band of all time! I'm so glad!

That should read: 'Learned from'. To become a giant, you need to stand on the shoulders of previous giants.

Everybody knows about Baker & Clapton but Jack Bruce's great too; back then he was always # 1 bass-player in polls.. here it seems like the songs were unimportant in themselves but White Room, I Feel Free, Sunshine Of Your Love, Strange Brew, Badge, Tales Of Brave Ulysses, etc.. are classic songs, as their arrangement of Skip James' I'm So Glad, etc.. I remember Bruce saying that Lou Reed's Berlin was one of his favourite records of those he played on.. he knows what ART is!

Thanks for the post!

"turn all the bass off on the tone control" for the woman tone at just under 19 minutes. Am I trippin' or did he say that incorrectly? Because the tone control on a guitar turned off, is all bass.
