[Art_from_Ark]

5. Ah, that song brings back memories

Lazy summer days at the swimming pool with the jukebox going in the background-- Sunshine of Your Love, Spinning Wheel, In the Year 2525, All Day and All of the Night...

7. an EB3 thru a Marshall stack

unbeatable sound/feeling .

[hifiguy]

9. A dark, murky roar

that rattles your bones.

Those old Gibson basses always sounded like that, even with roundwound strings. Felix Pappalardi, Cream's producer, was another avatar of that sound with his Gibson EB-1 "violin" bass:

8. Damn! Ginger Baker is one helluva drummer!!

[Tom Kitten]

10. One of the first rock songs I remember

I wonder, do high school bands still play this song at football games?

Ginger Baker is an amazing powerful drummer, great tribal feel...
On this song he "sings" as well. The weirdest song Cream did, which is one reason why I like it...

11. The first lead solo I ever learned

It was the album version, and every time I played it, I thought about the "Blue Moon" phrasing. Nice to see Eric playing the SG painted by "The Fool". Thanks for posting this, I never saw this performance before.
