I've seen all three members of Cream play the Mojo but with other groups before Cream were formed. I guess my mind's playing tricks Jim! Am i mixing up my groups up, was it with the Yardbirds that i saw Eric Clapton play at the Mojo and not Creme?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I saw Eric at the Mojo with both John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Yardbirds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
