Traffic - Last Exit

Probably my 'least favorite' Traffic album....and yet, I'd rather listen to this than my 'favorite' album by most groups

Gypsy...relatively unknown band from UK....not to be confused with not quite so relatively unknown US band...around the same time
Only stumbled in from a youtube referral....pretty good

Interesting....guitar work starting around 14:30 is totally ripped from Neil Young

Actually, not just the guitar....the bass and drums, too...not sure if it's tribute or stealing....lol

Neil's back again around 22-24...this time with Buffalo Springfield....Mr. Soul?

I’m guessing that unless you had the album, most people never heard Part 2.

So...that's the 'other Gypsy'....some similarities....I like them both....that particular song also has some Neil Young guitar going on, and some Jefferson Airplane 'harmony'...a little Santana going on, too

This is about all I could find on the 'British Gypsy':

They played the '69 Isle of Wight festival -- that one and '70 are right up there with Woodstock as ones I'd have liked to have seen

The Dip - self-titled first album

So a small flood of memories had flowed in.

Since you mentioned Santana, immediately thought of Jorge and his band:

One of the songs of my youth.

The ‘70 IoW - one of Jimi’s last performances. It’s great to have the DVD but nothing like seeing him live...although, when I saw him, he looked uncomfortable / bored playing his old stuff.

Another group recommended to me was St. Paul and the Broken Bones

Although more rock-ish, the lead vocalist sounds a little like Al Green at times!

In the comments (speaking on Cream): "Three geniuses at war with each other"

Best description I've ever heard of Cream. As much as I admired each of the members, I was never a fan. This is awfully interesting, however.

Clapton - using his guitar to get all the angry bits out.....lol

Here's something I found on the Bruce/Baker feud....an interesting take on getting the last word...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimclash/2016/01/21/famous-rock-feuds-jack-bruce-on-ginger-baker-and-ginger-literally-on-jack/#6bd9bdd5a147

I also saw an interesting documentary on Netflix about Ginger Baker about a year or so ....if accurate, he does seem like a guy who might be a bit hard to get along with....the doc, is called "Beware of Mr. Baker"....at one point he gets pizzed off at the director, and smacks him in the face with his cane, breaking the director's nose...[ram27bat]
