This performance of 'Spoonful' is the '9th Symphony'* of Rock, combined with 'The Rite Of Spring'. Jack Bruce is the human race individualised. He is the first and last man on earth. He is Job, Prometheus, Mani and Zarathustra. His song is a great humanist assertion or a great song of Gnostic defiance or both. You say it's just a blues with two chords? No, it's the blues transcended. It's the apotheosis of the blues - and it could only be achieved with Bruce's heroic jouissance as a singer, and simultaneously playing bass which is partly where the incredible tension comes from: i.e doing both: Robert Johnson achieved a similar contrapuntal tension singing and playing the guitar at the same time but only connoiseurs seem to be able to hear it.
