Notes: The title for track 5 is what Ginger called their improv jam, but don't let the name fool you.
It was quite good. Being a longtime Cream fan and drummer, I finally got to see the one and only
Ginger Baker in person. Despite the fact that his health is declining and it's a struggle for him to
tour, it didn't seem to affect his performance. Sure, he doesn't play with the same intensity he did
many years ago, but he's still playing very well and what he plays fits the music. The band took a short
break after three songs. This was the second of two shows that night, so I couldn't blame Ginger
for needing a breather. Enjoy!
