I just watched the Cream Farewell Concert on Axis. Wowza....
!! Not only did they show the concert but also private interviews with Clapton, Baker and Bruce. The interviews were primarily talking about how each musician played, or rather attacked their instruments and the various techniques they used in doing so while demonstrating exactly what they were talking about. Pretty fucking enlightening.
As an example, Bruce was talking about being classically trained and that he hated it. They wanted him to pursue being a cellist which he hated but apparently had a great talent for. When asked what he liked best about his classical training, he said that he hated just about all of it with one exception and that exception was Bach who he said wrote some of the best bass lines of all time. Bach and bass? That never occurred to me at all.
Great show. The following is the concert in full along with all of the interviews for those that are interested:
Edit: If Bruce did become a cellist, I bet he would have ended up in ELO, eh?
