Blind Faith Reunion?

Claiming that he invited Steve Winwood to play at his second Crossroads Festival in Illinois because he has "unfinished business" with his one time band mate, Eric Clapton has stoked the rumor mill with hopes of a Blind Faith reunion.

A true reformation will be impossible as bassist Ric Grech died in 1990, but should Ginger Baker appear, Clapton will have been instrumental in reforming yet another supergroup from the Sixties with Cream having played a series of shows in the fall of 2005.

Blind Faith's brief but memorable career began at a free concert in London in 1969; their entire catalog consisted of one self-titled album containing the classic rock staple "Can't Find My Way Home."

Thanks for the report to Earvolution.

BLIND FAITH IS GREAT!

Hopefully they come back together. Clapton, Baker and Winwood are the most important members anyway.

a Blind Faith reunion would be awesome. I've always thought that they have had some great songs. Gotta love that Had To Cry riff!

[sambargun]

Yes its great news. Hope there's one more Cream reunion, though after hearing Ginger Baker, its highly unlikely that he'll work with Jack Bruce again, which is a real pity.....

[psychodelia]

It was also there on the 19th May at the Countryside Alliance Concert and Winwood & Clapton did Had to Cry Today, Can't Find... and Presence of the Lord.

No reason why Baker couldn't be part of it, and as a replacement for Rick who better than Jack Bruce. Bruce could but his Cello under his chin for Sea of Joy.

That would be better than Cream or Blind Faith, and is what most fans who have loved. Other than Hendrix as well, what could have been better!
