Yep, He was on Radcliffe & Maconie the other week asking where he could buy Thunderbird (The Drink).
I'm just reading a book called Ghost Riders about the American Nomads like Steve who are literally bums riding the rails etc. Quite good TBH.

Yep, was Radcliffe and Maconie, which is BBC R2, not Radio 1. Quite good, but I don't personally get the fascination with him. He's no SRV or even Clapton.

I've just spent the last hour or so watching Cream at The Albert Hall, and tend to agree.

He is very, very good though

Was on Colin Murray Show last week. Which is very much Radio 1. Not all of us are old enough to listen to Radio 2.

Reform show with Gingers drum solo

Legendary guitar work, simply awesome.

It was fantastic, tried to get tickets but had more chance of getting a date with Dannii Minogue.

Tickets sold on ebay for £5-6k. Good show though, i'm surprised i've not worn my copy of the Doovde out!

Have you listened to much of Jack Bruce's solo career? Fantastic!

Saw him live a month or so ago. Much better live than he comes across in recordings. A definite must see if you like him.

Well, that's not exactly a fair comparison, is it? Given that he plays a guitar with 3 strings, unaccompanied, apart from a box that he kicks rhythmically, he's hardly setting himself up as a guitar hero, is he? Blues isn't only measured in guitar virtuosity. And there are far better players out there than Clapton et al, but that's a whole other subject.
