Jack Bruce (vocals, bass)
|
Seven Moons |
from Seven Moons |
Sound balance not optimal yet, volume too low |
Lives Of Clay |
from Seven Moons |
Superb vocal performance by JB, great pulsating riffs |
Distant Places Of The Heart |
from Seven Moons |
Slow talking blues, real bluesy solo by RT |
Sunshine Of Your Love |
from Disraeli Gears |
First Cream classic, long version, one of the greatest bass lines in rock history, RT solo no Clapton rip-off, GH working real hard to make us forget Baker, first highlight, also first time JB doesn’t have to look at the lyric sheets in front of him… JB: ‘Now we really getting somewhere!’ |
Carmen |
from B.L.T. |
The only one this evening from 1981, JB’s favorite – he also chose this track for his 6CD compilation – RT started with beautiful long sustain note different from the lp version, lovely ending |
She’s Not The One (twice) |
from Seven Moons |
Time for a short rocker, stopped in the middle – JB: ‘She’s Not That One’ – , second try, great solo ending by RT |
We’re Going Wrong |
from Disraeli Gears |
Second Cream song, long version, a real test for JB’s vocals – high notes – another tough one for GH – different drumsticks – one of the best RT solos of the evening; JB, with lots of respect: ‘Robin Trower on the guitar!’, RT ends with a couple of Spoonful notes |
Perfect Place |
from Seven Moons |
False start, stopped after a few seconds, JB’s fault – ‘Sorry Robin, sometimes I feel like a tourist here’ – up till now the trio had followed the order of songs on the album, probably the reason of JB’s mistake |
Just Another Day |
from Seven Moons |
Emotional singing, one of JB’s best performances, especially the different ways he repeats many times the line 'Is it real life', intricate interplay between JB and RT, second highlight |
Perfect Place |
from Seven Moons |
Second try, RT’s anti-drug song, nice wah-wah solo by RT |
Bad Case Of Celebrity |
from Seven Moons |
Another change in order of songs and another slow blues, excellent vocal by JB |
The Last Door |
from Seven Moons |
GH + RT open together, best up-tempo song of the evening, GH excels |
Come To Me |
from Seven Moons |
Great battle between JB & RT, very subtle finish by RT |
I’m Home |
from Seven Moons |
Starts out as a solo number for JB, emotional talking blues |
White Room |
from Wheels of Fire |
Third Cream song, second Cream classic, straight from I’m Home into White Room, different beginning compared to EC’s live version, GH at his best, RT ends with an earth shattering solo, third highlight. |
Encore |
JB: ‘Remember this is only our third-ever concert!’ |
|
Politician |
from Wheels Of Fire |
Fourth Cream song, another great riff, EC would be proud if he heard this BTH version, fourth highlight |
JB: ‘Now we’re going to do all the same songs backwards’ |

Seven Moons |
from Seven Moons |
Second time, louder, more determined, better sound balance |
Lives Of Clay |
from Seven Moons |
Second time, false start, louder, more determined, better sound balance |
Distant Places Of The Heart |
from Seven Moons |
Second time, louder, more determined, better sound balance |
Have we seen in February the best classic
rock concert of 2009? See for yourself coming August when the DVD will be
released.
Thanks, Frans!
