What did Ginger Baker (ex-Cream Drummer), Steve Winwood (ex-Traffic) & Ric Grech do with themselves after Blind Faith (you know, that supergroup they did along with Eric Clapton)? They started one of the badest bands in the land that not many remember, Ginger Baker's Air force. GB's Air force had multiple lineups, all of which were amazing, divided on two 1970 releases, "Ginger Baker's Air Force" and "Ginger Baker's Air Force II". Here for your viewing pleasure is GB's Air Force post Winwood, Grech & Chris Wood leaving to reform Traffic. Fantastic viewing, I've watched it twice today alone.
Editor's note: I would love to recommend picking up these albums, but truthfully, the only version currently available is by Lemon Records & it's a travesty what they did to the sound, so don't buy it. Go buy the original version on LP through ebay or the Ginger Baker release "Do What You Like" which is out of print but collects both Air Force albums along with the equally good 1972 Ginger Baker solo album Stratavarious on one cd with terrific remastering, it's selling for $50 & up on the used market, but is worth the price if you have the money.
