Early Bon Scott in Aussie band Fraternity. EB-3 sighting at 2:00 mark.

Is the EB well running dry already?

Holdsworth fans should know this singer well, and Mick Moody is there as well.
Nice EB0F playing here, although at 4:26 parts of the pickguard is modded or taped over.
Not many EB0F clips from the early days around.

Also note the dog sitting between the orange cabs, the trippin´ audience and a purple marshall that matches Paul´s
pants nicely

A moustache-less Herr Moody, who'd have thought!

He wasn't born with it, dear chap...

Charles Bradley is a man who knows how to sweat.

He's doing a good job of filling the void left by the former hardest working man in show business, Mr. Dynamite, Godfather of Soul, Soul Brother number one James Brown. Not the same without the high pitched screaming. Neat SB-400.

There's another one that Youtube blocked. It offers a great look at Jack's modified 50's EB1 with a bass tutorial for Cream's "I Feel Free" followed by a band performance. Great stuff that's worth a search. Just search Jack Bruce Gary Moore I Feel Free.

Something Harry found (caused me to go hunting, that is) - EB3 slot head visible here and there with some close-ups from near 6 mins...

Interesting, the EB 1 didn't have the Schaller behemoth bridge yet back then. I thought BBM were underrated and suffered unjust backlash for the obvious Cream connotations. Gary Moore could be grating most of the time (be it solo or with Thin Lizzy), but I found him relatively pleasant with BBM. Funny seeing that vid now, I bet poor Gary did not envisage that he'd be the first to go among those three.

I have a friend who is a big fan of both Cream and BBM.  He seems totally convinced that it was Gary Moore's looks which kept BBM down.  When it comes to matters such as these, he can make a convincing case, since he is convinced that rock stars should always look the part.  The point being, of course, that the public cares very much how someone looks.  Somebody, I suppose, might try to argue that Ginger Baker doesn't look so good, either.  My answer to that would be that he is too much of a living legend now for that to make much difference.  In fact, during Cream, I think Ginger may have looked the coolest of all, kind of like a pirate/rock star combination.
