Yep, Dave, that's a major bummer about Jack! If it wasn't for Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love", I would never have begged my parents for a year and a half to let me take guitar lessons.
Like Clint mentioned, I'm at least very happy they had the reunion a few years back.
It's too bad he died one day after the official announcement about the big box set release yesterday.
http://classicrock.teamrock.com/news/2014-10-23/cream-detail-6lp-box-set We're really starting to lose a lot of the rock pioneers this year. I mentioned in the Johnny Winter thread a month or two ago, that growing up as a kid I only had three posters on my bedroom wall: Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter and Cream Goodbye.
Enjoy you weekend, guys!
