We are nothing if not expert in creating diversions!!   ;)

Totally agree.  LOL.

A full routine...note that the audience is full of NBC executives, which gives meaning to a couple of answers...

How can anyone person be JAE and Jack Bruce and not go insane? Are you Paul McCartney too?  :mrgreen:

HA!!
...Sorry for the delay with a response, just finally saw this post.
I've been called insane... but no, I only obsess over Entwistle and Bruce.  ;)
...Although funny enough, I am left handed like Paul, but play right.

Here are some clips of "Tales Of Cream"... audio quality is ok, working on some better produced clips.

Nice! Politician is no easy bass line to sing over. Love that drum kit!
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Nice work, Kurt... you get Jack's voice and playing style pretty close too...

Thanks!
The three of us have been playing together since this past December... it's been a lot of fun as we all are big Cream fans.
...I'll be putting together a better set of video clips with much better audio quality soon.

Ha... yes, ALWAYS!
Although due to issues with band member availability, "Live The Who" does not get to play nearly as much as I wish.
...Everyone from "Tales Of Cream" lives within 30 minutes of each other.

Due to my obsession with John Entwistle & Jack Bruce my basement is becoming too full of their gear.

Great tune.  You sound great too!!!!

actually one of my all time favorite bruce tunes to do.  Not as tough to sing and play as some of the other cream stuff.   In general the bruce bass parts and vocals  seem to work well together .   I usually have  more trouble with some of the clapton sung  tunes and the way he sings them such as Outside Woman Blues.   
And Felix's vocals have always given me total fits but live he usually changed the bass parts.

I was fortunate to talk with Kent Armstrong through the guys at WD Music. His father Dan Armstrong was Jack Bruce's techie. It is commonly said Dan put a diode in Jacks bass. Kent said it was a by-pass filter(capacitor) to drop off all the bass frequencies and the high frequencies. jack turned the mids all the up on his amps. Thw  cabs used G-25's back then, G-30s used later in Marshalls. He regularly blew them and they distorted giving him his hard edged sound.
