Blind Faith

Supergroup Blind Faith was formed from the ashes of Britain’sfirst supergroup Cream. Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker combing forces withTraffic’s multi-instrumentalist Steve Winwood and Family’s Ric Grech ensured BlindFaith was the most eagerly anticipated band in 1969.  A debut gig at London’s Hyde Park to 100,000 people wasindicative of the expectations. Their self-titled album reached number one inboth the UK and US and was backed up with a tour of the States. But before fanscould blink, that was it! It was all over for Blind Faith. Despite only being around for a matter of months, because ofthe calibre of the musicians involved, Blind Faith is still talked about today.Now Marc Shapiro has chronicled those heady times—the formation, the recordingand the gigs in this detailed tome.
