[QUOTE="Lee Brenkman, post: 42297, member: 154"] Re: Another drum photo circa 1966 I confess, this time the joke flew right over my head. But at least I got an excuse to post another "in the day" photo. Another note on that. The other two bands' amps remained on stage while Cream played. That was because in those days the format at the Fillmore was for all three bands to each play two 45 minute sets in rotation. The backline amps were generally left in place and only the drums and keyboards, if any, were moved between sets. You can see one of the other bands' drum sets on the riser to the left of Eric Clapton's Marshalls. The other bands on the bill were the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the South Side Sound System, which included guitarist Harvey Mandel and harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite. With Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop in the Butterfield band that meant FOUR outstanding guitarists on the same show. And what would now be a priceless collection of vintage Fender amps ;-)!
