I just happened across this very raw, live version of Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream and thought I'd share it with the class. I love the camera work, cool set, dueling stacks, Clapton's SG, and Baker's walkabout during the lead break.

Speaking of Eric Clapton, he was forced to bow out of this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert due to gallstone surgery. No worries, he's doing fine and Jeff Beck will be taking his place.

Lookout, NYC midtown traffic:

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, U2, Paul Simon, Metallica, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Friends and Simon and Garfunkel are among the legendary artists confirmed for a landmark two-night concert event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Sprawling across October 29th and 30th at New York’s Madison Square Garden, the shows will feature Hall of Fame acts sharing the stage with guests and collaborators, honoring their influences and essentially retracing the history of rock in the process. For example, Crosby, Stills and Nash will share the stage with California-based artists while Metallica will lead a hard rock portion of the concerts. Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin will also each front a soul revue with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra.

They're going to cram all these artists who could sell out Madison Square Garden in their own right into a 2 night event? Looking forward to the live stream. We'll keep you posted as acts get added.

It was very hard for me to pick a favorite among all of these, but this one is absolutely sublime. More suitable for the first day of April than the last one, but better late than never.

Whether you measure it instrumentally, vocally, sartorially or tonsorially, anyone who thinks the Three Tenors swing bigger cod than Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton and Carl Perkins serving up this tasty slice of transnational musical cross-pollination, can bite my shiny metal ass.

And while I can't be 100% sure, at the 2:43 mark Eric Clapton appears to lean over and ask Carl Perkins, "Tell you wha, Mistuh Pehkins, you slip me B.B. King's private numbah and I can have Diana Rigg here askin' to be 'your little dog 'til your big dog comes' in thirty minutes."
