なんか今年前半から延々チケット発売の広告見てたけど、ついにエリック・クラプトン＆スティーヴ・ウィンウッド来日、日本ツアー真っ最中みたいですねえ。実はブラインド・フェイスってちょっと好きで、行きたい気持ちもあったんだけどねー。
で、例のヌードのジャケット、載せていいんですかね(^^; Amazonが載せてるくらいだからいいんだろうけど、アメブロ的にどうなのか分からないので、自粛しておきました(^▽^;
スーパー・ジャイアンツ ブラインド・フェイス
クリーム解散後、エリック・クラプトン，ジンジャー・ベイカーにスティーヴィー・ウィンウッド，リック・グレッチの4人編成で'69年6月22日、15万人動員したハイド・パークのフリー・コンサートで衝撃的デビューした幻のグループ、一世一代の名作。
この 2. Can't Find My Way Home～3. Well All Right の流れが好きなんですよねー
上のハイド・パーク・ライブのDVDも出てるんですねえ。

London Hyde Park 1969 [DVD] [Import]
※リージョンコードにお気を付け
僕はBSの「黄金の洋楽ロック」で見たんだけど、短命で終わったバンドだけに、映像で見れただけでも感激だったよねえ（あー、Can't Find My Way Homeは地声で歌ってたなあ）。ちなみにピーター・バラカンさん、このライブ見てたらしいですな（ストーンズのハイド・パークも）。すごい話だ。
It was big news when guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker from the recently-disbanded Cream joined forces with keyboardist-singer Steve Winwood, whose history with Traffic and the Spencer Davis Group had made him one of Britain's most admired young musicians (bass player Rick Grech came from the more obscure Brit group Family), and the buzz must have been palpable when they took the stage before hundreds of thousands of fans on a June afternoon in 1969. They were known as rock's first supergroup, but there's nothing all that super about Blind Faith - London Hyde Park 1969, a record of the quartet's debut performance. In fairness, the group hadn't been together very long, and their one and only album hadn't been released yet; perhaps they were also taken aback by the size of the crowd and the hype that already engulfed them. Still, their 40-minute set (the DVD is padded with a ten-minute introduction) is surprisingly listless, not to mention out of tune. Having cemented his god-like status by way of Cream's endless bravura jamming, Clapton was clearly looking for something mellower and more song-oriented, but despite a few stellar moments, here he appears dour and uninterested. Winwood, meanwhile, seems to be searching for notes a step or two above his range, with the result that he fairly shrieks his way through all six tunes from the Blind Faith album (along with a pointless cover of the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb" and two others); it's Baker who provides the fire, especially on "Presence of the Lord" and the drum showcase "Do What You Like." The audio and video are surprisingly crisp and clear, which helps make up for the fact that the camera was apparently hand-held by a drunk who couldn't figure out what he wanted to shoot. It's cool to see these guys in action, but overall, interest in this document will primarily be due to the fact that it exists at all. --Sam Graham
