quite a line up that was. mayall, bond and alexis koener were the british godheads of the blues that just about everybody played with. i think bond later commited suicide by jumping in front of a subway train.

If you're interested in this period of British musical history, I really recommend you get hold of a copy of Dick Heckstall-Smith's book ...

UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blowing-Blues-Personal-History-British/dp/1904555047/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263425566&sr=8-1

DHS also RIP, sadly. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/2004/dec/22/guardianobituaries.arts

And if you want to know what GBO could have become if Bond hadn't self-destructed, try Colosseum.

Even with the lack of video/audio sync, I can see that was the worst lip-sync job EVER.  Cool music, tho.

Don't forget that Bruce recorded Things We Like with Heckstall-Smith and McLaughlin.  I never knew that he started out with Graham Bond.

The story is that Ginger Baker got Jack fired from GBO. Don't know if it's actually been confirmed by either of them, but there was a lot of hostility between them and Jack left.

If I remember correctly, there are some Graham Bond cuts that are a bit more jazzy with Jack Bruce on an upright and Ginger Baker really working that small kit. Particularly a lot of real old school snare and high hat work......very different from the Ginger Baker multi tom tom stuff we are familiar with. I haven't heard any of that stuff since pre 1970 so the memory may be a bit fogged :-[

According to Heckstall-Smith "... it was Ginger alone who had sacked Jack, and it was over a personal matter ..."
