I am the fortunate possessor of one of Ginger Baker's
drumsticks used in the filming of "Sunshine" on this
program.
A good friend's mother worked as an exec. at the studio
(NBC?) where it was filmed and was given both sticks by
Ginger immediately after the performance. Her late son,
and my good friend, Michael, was given one, myself the
other. The are Ginger Baker signature model sticks. I do
not know where Michael's stick is, probably owned now
by one of his sons.
The other item used on that program, and on the final
Cream tour, that I would give anything to own, is
Clapton's sunburst Gibson Firebird I.
I love the lean, stripped down elegance of that guitar.

I've seen Clapton twice at Irvine Meadows(Now Verizon Amphitheatre)
at least twice.
He played there when Mark Knopfler toured with him
and I believe during the Journeyman Tour?
He also played the Pacific Amphitheatre when Phil Collins
was touring as his drummer. Don't forget Live Aid and Hyde Park...

Now I have a question. Why did Clapton not play at outdoor
amphitheaters like Shoreline, SPAC, Irvine Meadows and dozens of other
accross the country and maybe world? The only tour I can reemember him
playing an outdor show in Los Angeles was when he toured with Elton John
years ago, and they played at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. I don't
know where they played in other city's.

I've seen EC outdoors twice. Once was at Legion Field in Birmingham in
1974. This was the first time I had ever seen him in concert and the
highlight was the solo on Badge. He plays that song on autopilot now but
back then it was intense enough to give you chills. I also remember that he
spent a lot of time sitting on one of his amps or speaker cabinets while he
played during the concert. A cousin of mine was in front of the stage
taking pictures (you could do that back then) and said he had a headache for
three days because it was so loud. I think the Charlie Daniels Band and
either Wet Willie or Lynrd Skynrd opened the show but that memory is pretty
foggy. The other time was at the Oak Mountain Ampitheater in Birmingham
about a week after SRV died in 1990. He played great (highlight: Old Love
solo) but never mentioned the accident. There were a lot of people in the
parking lot selling Tshirts from the Alpine Valley concert. I wish I had
bought one now.

I would have to admit being somewhat bemused by this thread. I never thought
there was any dispute on the question and that there was only one possible
answer.
To wit, December 1st, 1970; Curtis Hixon Hall, Tampa FL
The only live recording of EC and Duane playing "Layla" together. EC still
in the throes of guilt about and desire for Patti Harrison, so his passion
in playing and singing was at its highest level. EC and Duane fueling each
other and driving each other to extraordinary heights of virtuositic excess.
7 1/4 minutes of blistering guitar and EC's impassioned, anguished singing
at its best. I was there and I would rank that concert as being among the
best of EC's I've ever seen, overshadowed only by Cream in Chicago 2 1/2
years earlier.
The surviving recording is far from the best but the performance is
unparalleled IMHO.

Thanks Ryan, I'm really enjoying this concert. I love
that it has the BBB EC had dedicated to Alphi, and the
BADGE he did for George, and that we can share all
this. . .
REPTILE is the best I've heard so far with David
Sancious' synthesizer sounding like a jazzy horn
section! And EC's voice was great, even through that
awful I WANNA LITTLE GIRL song, oy. Many thanks to
all for starting and carrying this on.
Well, it's EC's birthday and my presents to honor it
are going to the first 5, from anywhere, who e-mail me
at ishraq99@yahoo.com (with burners). . .
and ALSO to the first 3 e-mailers, from anywhere, who
have NO burners, but need to hear this wonderful show!
This tree thing discriminates against the woeful,
downtrodden burner-less, tsk, tsk, tsk, ~ so make it ~
to the first 5 who have no burners. . .
I know I have one old cd player that only runs the 74
minute cdrs, and all my copies so far are on the 80
minute ones, so if you need the 74 minute version,
please specify, thanks! Will notify the recipients.
What a great way to celebrate EC's birthday! And many
happy returns to him and to all of us, too!

Dear UK Digesters,
I have already sent out two copies of the Farewell Boxed set and thanks
to Gerhard for supplying the show to the UK.
I have three more copies needing homes if there is anyone else in the UK
who would like them. Deal is as before, offer them up to another four
(or the number of your choice) on the Digest to keep spreading the
music. No need to send your list or anything else.
I will contact the lucky three. If you don't get a response from me,
you missed the cut. However, with five copies out there you should get
another chance soon.
all the best
Jane
