npc: Blind Faiith on PBS



    Our local PBS showed film of Blind Faith's first show tonight...from Hyde
Park.  It's Pledge Week, so they made about 35-40 minutes of film run an hour,
if you know what I mean.

    It's worth looking for.  It REALLY highlights Stevie Winwood's vocals and
Rick Gretch's bass, also Ginger Baker's unbelievable work on the traps.  Eric
Clapton stayed near the speakers, at the back of the stage, and didn't seem as
well miked as the others, but of course he played great.  His best moments,
IMO, were in "Can't Find My Way Home" and "In the Presence of the Lord", where
he worked some fine, ethereal feedback  :)

ps: Ginger Baker's a maniac
