He was natural at everything he was intrigued by. Great to see him, in new elements , cos he adapted very quickly out of respect for this new foray. A latter day Renaissence man who lived a unique arc in a rather , large life.
I get it. I saw a polo match at shogram., the highest up village. With an area big enough for a polo match. It was right next to Tirich Mir the highest mountain in the hindu kush and 10th highest in the world. 60 year old pathan men whose amazing skill, fitness was truely breathtaking turning the horse on a sixpense whilst trying to prise a goat carcass from the other team. Forget, football, rugby, golf, as compared to polo and the horsemanship was just wonderful to watch. I bfelt so privaliged to be a spectator and i still have a few photos from end August 1997. Its the best journey ive ever taken. Thank you chitral and those kind people.
this is the interview that made the irs chase down ginger because they thought he was rich? but he was actually poor af and spent all his money on horses?
People say Ginger was grumpy nasty as an old man well anyone who's as sick he was is going to be nasty. I know people who have met and said he was very cool.
In Baker documentary , Ginger said Jon Bonham couldn't sling sh-t, I disagree. The best rock drummers were schooled in jazz drumming. Buddy Rich , and Jean Cooper

I am a Ginger Baker fanatic.
Came across this by accident.
Thank you for posting this 🥁
Same… saw just a snippet of it in BoMR.B
Same here. And I'm not even a drummer.
Very gentleman like nice interview
His drums sound fantastic even out in an open field.
He hadn’t played for quite a while and he killed it!

He seemed a lot more laid back when he was younger vs old lmao
I never saw him play that Vistalite kit before
Playing that beautiful Ludwig Vistalite set.....
Incredible!

I guess. As great he was as a drummer, he was a moron when it came to handling money.
The pre angry grumpy years lol

Epic
He seems very approachable. I say this because i read that he was a ornery, difficult person.
He was actually decent to talk to here later in life not so much.

Gene Krupa. But Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa were not his big jazz influences; it was Aer Blakey, Elvin Jones and Mx Roach.
Ginger Baker was the epitome of coolness is a really crazy and kind of autistic way.
Disgusting drug addict .
Pre Psychotic years.
ive never seen ginger baker smile. it feels strange.
A polo man. Who knew?
Polo, how to end up skint, very quickly
Nice Cape I didn't know you were a magician too
