Bonus Episode – The Heart of Markness Classic Rock Podcast

This recording was liberated by the Dogs of Doom back in the day, and boy oh boy is it cool! Cream playing Dallas State Fair Music Hall just 7 months before they called it a day.

The recording is rough. The bass is super loud and overloaded. The vocals are buried behind the music, but that because that’s how they sounded, basically. PA systems hadn’t yet been developed to keep up with cranked Marshall stacks. That would be a year later.

I play a blistering Sunshine of Your Love, and and even more blistering I’m so Glad. Jack Bruce’s sick bass chording during Sunshine foreshadows the evil Dio era Black Sabbath sound by more than a decade. All three of these musicians are absolute virtuosos and amazing with every measure played.
