Last Tuesday (14 Oct 2008) I went to see Joe Satriani and special guest Mountain at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, MA. Jack Bruce (the bassist from Cream) was playing with Mountain. Leslie West was on guitar, Corky Laing was on drums, and Jack Bruce was on bass. Jack looked and played young, but at one point Leslie mentioned that he used to watch Jack play in Cream when he was young. After checking on Wiki during the show I learned that Jack Bruce was born in 1943. His head was shaved except for a few long braids directly on the top of his head, which he swung in circles while he played bass. It should also be noted that Corky would not stop knocking over his symbols, which caused his helper to get annoyed (at one point he kicked them over right after his helper picked them up and his helper left them on the ground until the end of the song). Joe Satriani and his band started out with their single "I Just Wanna Rock" and the show just got better from there. They played for a good two hours before finally ending the show. Obviously Joe Satriani dominated the band, but it was nice to see his drummer, bassist, and rythym guitarist (who are all very telented) all contribute.
