I am one of the few who ever saw Cream live in concert. Chastain Park Atlanta, October of 1968. I was hitchiking home from Ga. Tech a week earlier, and I got a ride with a "hippie chick" named "Easter." I mean, this was the sixties. I invited her to the show the next week so I was next to Easter in the concrete stand watching Cream.

I listened to them more than anyone else. Along with John Mayall. but as a kid In way upstate NY.......not gonna see them.
Have seen Clapton a bunch and Ginger and Bruce with Blues Sarceno with my daughter
Finally got to see them at the Garden in 2005. Even better.
I remember standing in front of the stage with about 50 friends watching the original Lynyrd Skynyrd band in concert in Evanville IN. The place was packed, no assigned seating, and Lynyrd Skynyrd was the Warmup Band. They were great. Can’t remember who the main band was because we left before they came on! Tickets were either $5.50 or $6.50. That was also the first year of dating my wife. Thanks for the memories!
I have almost all of these on cassette. Some on 8 track and many on lp. All I listen to anymore is 60's Even have innagodadavida full length version , like 12 minutes long.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
From Wikipedia After the Animals had chart success with the 1965 single "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," producer Terry Melcher asked the song's writers, Mann and Weil, to compose a similar song for Paul Revere & the Raiders.[1][7] The result was "Kicks," a song originally offered to the Animals, but turned down by lead singer Eric Burdon.[2] Mann and Weil wrote the song as a warning to a friend about the dangers of drug use.[7][8] In the song, a narrator pleads with a girl that drug use causes addiction and that soft drugs can lead to the use of hard drugs,[3] though the lyrics never explicitly mention any of those things; ultimately the lyrics conclude that her real problem is psychological ("you'll never run away from you") and that there is "another way" to face the trials of life.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
