'Spoonful' is the best guitar solo i have ever heard, this is incredible, i love Jimi Hendrix's guitar playing but i have never heard anything as powerful as 'Spoonful', most people tend to favour 'crossroads' on this CD but 'Spoonful' is by far the best track and really outstanding, i must add Ginger Baker sounds like an army of drummers on this track with an almost tribal rhythm and adds deepness to this song, i wouldn't forget Jack Bruce too, who is an excellent bassist with a sophisticated playing ; otherwise i give 4 stars and not five to the CD for the following reasons : on the studio side 'Those were the days', 'Politician' (good guitar solo, very haunting), 'Deserted cities of the heart' and 'white room' are good tracks but the others are not as good as these ones; Clapton is a better guitarist live than in the studio, the first two tracks of the live side are excellent, the two latter ones are less interesting (Toad and traintime).
