Nah, the real thing. Ginger Baker would be a great touch, and of course Jack BRuce, who did play bass for much of the short lived band's existence.
Blind Faith’s Unfinished Business
News entry published on 25 March 2007 / Last modified on 25 March 2007In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Eric Clapton said he plans to re-connect with Steve Winwood at the upcoming Crossroads Guitar Festival as "We've got unfinished business." Clapton and Winwood - along with Rick Grech and Ginger Baker - formed the short-lived band in 1969. Blind Faith lasted for just one album and a U.S. Tour before breaking up.
Although not a Blind Faith reunion, a musical collaboration at the festival by Clapton and Winwood on Blind Faith material is still an extremely exciting musical event. In the years since the band's demise, both have occasionally featured Blind Faith songs in their live repetoire. Well-known songs from the album include, "Presence of the Lord," "Well All Right," "Can't Find My Way Home" and "Sea of Joy".
The Crossroads Guitar Festival takes place 28 July at Chicago's Toyota Park. Other guests at the one day event include Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Los Lobos, John Mayer and many more.
