Anyone going to Clapton's Ginger Baker benefit gig at Hammersmith tomorrow?...all Cream and Blind Faith numbers. Clapton, Steve Winwood, Roger Waters, Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones, Nile Rogers (!) confirmed so far.

Could be a bit spesh...if you're into that kind of thing.

True, went to see Dylan is 2002 though and wish I hadn't. Almost embarrassing to hear him then let alone now. Trading on his name not his performances.

It was indeed spesh. Incredible musicians really, getting a proper groove on. Winwood and Clapton sound completely undiminished both in playing and vocally. Nile Rogers - is a proper genius guitarist and the interchange between Clapton and Wood was a joy.

Quite short at 1 hr, 40 mins, but blissful (and i'm not a huge Clapton fan beyond Cream and BF era).

Those bands back then were truly groundbreaking. What will young Crowes of mine be going to see when they're 55 - bloody stomzy and cold play reunions - poor bastards.

He may well have been a virtuoso performer but Ginger Baker was a deeply obnoxious unpleasant unfunny nasty WUM whiny count bustard all the same as a professional journalist member of this LFW board could tell you.

And then there's Eric Clapton AKA God and his on-the-record 5th August 1976 Birmingham odeon gig with it's Pro Enoch Go home, get out NN's out rampant racism.
How could BB King look that fecker in the eye - let alone work with him - after the on-the-record racist spit he said?
That would be like Marcel Desailly making up friends with Ron Atkinson.

Looking at that set list from last night I really envy you. It includes just about all of my favourite Cream tracks and the best of the Blind Faith album. Got to see one of the Cream reunion gigs at the Albert Hall about fifteen years ago and Clapton and Winwood together a few years later but that lineup yesterday was pretty special ( even if they are all “dinosaurs” like myself).

Dodgy sales strategy IMO
Advised buyers to pre-register. Then provided link to early bird tickets via email.
At allotted time, clicked link - didn’t work.
15 minutes after sales were supposed to start, new email with “correct” link.
Click new link - sold out. So someone had access to a correct link that did work!
Check secondary ticket sites - loads of tickets for £500+

I once played guitar with Peter Green in his wilderness years. In his little house in Richmond. His fingernails were so long he could hardly hold down a chord, but we had a loose jam. I was 21, so I didn't fully appreciate him or the situation, but I knew enough to know it was a special moment......

Hard to believe but it was the 70's. I used to read the MM and NME but can't recollect this. Has he ever explained himself or apologised for his comments.

Handwritten letter to Sounds september 11th 1976
dear everybody i openly apologise to all the foreigners in Brum.
it's just that as usual i'd had a few before i went on,and one foreigner had pinched my missus' bum and i proceeded to lose my bottle,well you know the rest,anyway.i'm off up the pub,and i don't live in america and i think i think that Enoch is the only politician mad enough to run this country...yours humbly--(crossed out) yours eccentricly E.C.

2 years later in the Melody Maker
"I think Enoch is a prophet.He's not a racist - I don't think he cares about colour of any kind.I think his whole idea is for us to stop being unfair to immigrants because it's getting out of hand. The government is being incredibly unfair to people abroad to lure them to the Promised Land when there actually is no work. The racist business starts when white guys see immigrants getting jobs and they're not. The whole thing about me talking about Enoch was that it occurred to me that he was the only bloke telling the truth,for the good of the country. I believe Enoch is a very religious man. And you can't be religious and racist at the same time.The two things are incompatible."

https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/940355.Enoch_Powell

Enoch Powell quotes
“Have you ever wondered, perhaps, why opinions which the majority of people quite naturally hold are, if anyone dares express them publicly, denounced as 'controversial, 'extremist', 'explosive', 'disgraceful', and overwhelmed with a violence and venom quite unknown to debate on mere political issues? It is because the whole power of the aggressor depends upon preventing people from seeing what is happening and from saying what they see.”
― Enoch Powell
“The life of nations no less than that of men is lived largely in the imagination.”
― Enoch Powell
“As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”
“History is littered with the wars everybody knew could never happen.”
― Enoch Powell
“The other dangerous delusion from which those who are wilfully or otherwise blind to realities suffer, is summed up in the word "integration." To be integrated into a population means to become for all practical purposes indistinguishable from its other members.
Now, at all times, where there are marked physical differences, especially of colour, integration is difficult though, over a period, not impossible. There are among the Commonwealth immigrants who have come to live here in the last fifteen years or so, many thousands whose wish and purpose is to be integrated and whose every thought and endeavour is bent in that direction.
But to imagine that such a thing enters the heads of a great and growing majority of immigrants and their descendants is a ludicrous misconception, and a dangerous one.”
― Enoch Powell
“It depends on how you define the word "racialist." If you mean being conscious of the differences between men and nations, and from that, races, then we are all racialists. However, if you mean a man who despises a human being because he belongs to another race, or a man who believes that one race is inherently superior to another, then the answer is emphatically "No".”
― Enoch Powell
“We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant-descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.”
― Enoch Powell
“The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils.”
― Enoch Powell, Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" Speech 1968
“People are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles.”
― Enoch Powell
Working in Britain, particularly in the public services, they should be prepared to accept the terms and conditions of their employment. To claim special communal rights (or should one say rites?) leads to a dangerous fragmentation within society. This communalism is a canker; whether practised by one colour or another it is to be strongly condemned.”
― Enoch Powell
“I hope those who shouted "Fascist" and "Nazi" are aware that before they were born I was fighting against Fascism and Nazism.”
― Enoch Powell
