A special tribute concert took place at London’s Roundhouse on October 24 to mark the one-year anniversary of Jack Bruce‘s death.
The concert featured performances from a number of the Cream bassist’s friends and family, culminating in renditions of two of the band’s tracks, “Sunshine Of Your Love” and “We’re Going Wrong“.
Among the musicians who appeared at the end – which was also called Sunshine of Your Love – were Ginger Baker, Phil Manzanera, Ian Anderson, Living Colour’s Vernon Reid and Bruce’s daughter Aruba Red.
