Tom’s SOW post, coupled with Gene’s posting of Crossroads, pointed me back here, to my fave Cream song (sorry Deserted Cities of the Heart) and the band at its core, and in my opinion best.
I don’t think any song from their catalog better displays the individual and collective power these guys held as musicians, and then as a band.
Bass and drums are great, and this is Clapton at his ripping finest, IMHO. Even if it is a funky patched lip-sync of the studio to live stuff.
Killer song. I’ve said it before, but their reputation as three self-indulgent soloists is incredibly wrong.
