Sting 1988 (after a great tour in '86 for Blue Turtles) and again in '91, both times he stank
Joe Walsh in 1991, a disappointment
Motorhead during 1983 just after Eddie Clarke had left, 'nuff said
Prince for the Purple Rain tour, yeah I was surprised too

The "attitude" is important and I believe it is one of the greatest gifts from rock music to the history of music ... it defines the bery best in music that we love and go after all the time.

That is not what I meant by attitude, I meant the on stage attitude or personality that the musicians project.  That is, the unfair contrasting of Hackett sitting on a stool and playing beautifully with someone jumping all around the stage and playing basic, boring stuff.  Deriding musicians for lacking "attitude" is one of the worst contributions of rock appreciation.


Am I reading this correctly? Steve Hackett is a fat buffoon? I hope both questions are answer "no."

I have my radio show now and I shall be playing a bit of Steve H music. Djam Karet plays now... Going Home from New Dark Age btw. Real top 20 stuff!Wink

I've been to so many shows I had to take out the old ticket stash to remind myself if there were any I really didn't enjoy. LOL

I saw Cream back in 2005 when they played those three reunion shows at Madison Square Garden ; I feel they could have been a little more impressive. Ginger Baker was brilliant on drums though. He stole the show for me. I guess it isn't fair of me to have expected all that much considering they hadn't performed together since 1968. 

For the same reason, I was disappointed after seeing Phish when they first started touring again last year. They were very very sloppy, but again, it's not fair to be critical because they were only just starting to tour after a 5 year break.

I saw them again this year, and what a difference a year makes! Went to two shows at Jones Beach, and I was blown away both nights.

Many reactions from old musician friends of mine that saw the tour would indicate that it was a controlled Cream. The original idea that came from Cream which gained the interest of American musicians in 1968 was to play a kind of wild style of improv during jams. It was Rock music with the option of going off to solo, people welcoming it, and make money. This re-formation seemed very dead to me. Lifeless. Maybe Clapton was helping Bruce and Baker out with their finances with agreement to do a reunion tour?

Very likely. In fact, towards the end of the show Clapton asked the audience to avoid any vendors selling t-shirts outside of the venue. He clearly expected us to pay the $50 (and more) they were asking for the "official" reunion tour t-shirts.
