He has always been great in the studio and he also delivered on stage. He played with the greatest and also gave his musicianship as a guest to others. And he influenced millions of other guitar players. He is a really a complete musician and artist - thanks!!

    I was six years old in 1968, and l got my dad's youngest brother record collection after he was busted in Houston,Tx.
    I remember listening to Cream,Buffalo Springfield, The Beatles and many others.
    My greatest recollection of Cream is White Room/ Sunshine of Your Love on a .45 7 in.vinyl.
    That just embeds into a kids head and will never leave the thought process.
    I have always dug music from ground breaking bands or artist,from early rock-n-roll to the ultra hard rock of Led Zeppelin,back to the country sounds of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings and other country bands.
    Never got into that rap crap!!!

    Saw them on that tour in MSG....what a talented group. You could make a case for each of them to be the best ever at their instrument.
    Only drawback is the short time they were together, only 4 studio albums. But they crammed a lot of great music into those four.

    Q: Ever wonder what the title of this song has to do with the song at all?
    A: Nothing. Clapton & Harrison were working together, & Clapton couldn't decipher George's handwriting on the lyric sheet... George had written "Bridge" at the appropriate spot, & Clapton asked, "What's this? 'Badge'?"
    And that became the title.
