Cream - old, but still good!

In fact, not just good - b
fantastic!
They're one of the first bands that I got into when I was at school, and despite seeing Clapton play quite a few times since then, he's never managed to give me the same thrill as I got when I watched him play for the first time in '89.
As a 15 year, watching your hero play live for the first time was an amazing experience, and one that I've only had a handful of times, especially as he's moved more towards more laid back blues in recent years.
Last night though, him, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker managed to take you back to the 60's - despite being in their 60's themselves
I was slightly concerned that they wouldn't live up to my expectations after hearing of their health problems, but despite arthritis, Ginger Baker still managed his trademark drum solo in Toad (although to be fair, it was "only" 10 minutes long!), and Jack Bruce's voice sounded just like it did the very first time I listended to one of their albums. Clapton of course was sublime. All in all, it was even better than I'd hoped - an amazing experience.
