This was a historic gig! Seriously good.
Very nice crescendo, first the band, than Jack Bruce and finally Joe Bonamassa doing a Gary Moore tribute - as always very impressive - and some remarkable Cream stuff, culminating with a guitar / bass dialog on Sunshine of Your Love, which had the psychedelic Cream feel allover.
Jack Bruce is almost 70, but his voice is still in quite a good shape, although quite shouted at times - in a very down to earth manner - not the Peter Hammill kind of shouting. Nevertheless he had Joe Bonamassa's support on Sunshine of Your Love wich was brilliant. But forget about his singing... this guy with his fretless bass, playing Cream riffs, is one of the archetypal icons of classic rock! And boy did his Warwick massively erupt in a ballsy way! Just the way I like a bass to be: loud and present... absolutely impeccable.
And of course, on top of it all, the neat guitar solos and accurate playing of Joe Bonamassa. He did the singing as well on Midnight Blues... starting timorously but than exploding in a flamboyant voice with precise intensity accents.
