Ginger Baker just played what might be his last performance.

I saw a short video of him speaking at that event, he seemed weak and unsteady. Sad but not unexpected, since he announced he was in bad health.

A friend who keeps up with Ginger's FB page said he was putting forth his best effort now at this point in time.  It appears that the bitterness is gone.

I guess "Memory Lane" is an apt title at this point? I loved his stuff with the Baker Gurvitz Army, it's his best work outside Cream:
