Clapton reigns supreme. Between 1966 and 1968 Clapton sold
35 Million albums with the Cream. During that same time period Hendrix sold 8 Million albums. Cream was the first power group in history, and the first group to stack Marshall amps on stage putting out over 100,000 watts. They were the first rock group to do long jam sessions on stage which influenced The Greatful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Big Brother and the Holding company. Their drummer Ginger Baker was the first drummer to use two bass drums on stage. Cream's powerful sound is why they are known as the
inventors of hard rock, heavy metal, and hard blues, which is why the Beatles had Clapton play lead guitar on two tracks on the White album, which were " While my Guitar Gently Weeps" and " Yer Blues ". Fans in England would hold up banners at Cream concerts with the slogan " Clapton
is God ". Hendrix went to England in October 1966 and copied the Cream putting together his own power trio. Make no mistake about it, Clapton was the Pioneer who everybody followed including Hendrix. In August 1968 Cream's album
" Wheels of Fire " and the Beatles " White Album " were the two top selling Albums in the States. Too date, Clapton has sold more record albums than any other guitarist in history.

^^^^Audiozen - where on earth are you getting those figures?
There is no way Cream sold 35 million albums from 66-68 - even MJ did not do that on any single record? At that time, a good album was lucky to sell a few hunderd thousand. Even the Beetles or Elvis didn't sell at that level. It was not until the 1980s that albums began to sell above 10 million copies on a regular basis.

100,000 Watt sound system from basic head units? Please give a reference. What did they use exactly? You would need like 1000 JCM800 (or what ever they had in 68) and I cant imagine the speaker cabinet set ups. FWIW, when you see bands with a wall of cabinets - it is a stage prop- most are MT boxes and hooked to nothing.

>They were the first rock group to do long jam sessions on stage

h really? Lots of revisionist history in that post.

Just discovered Peter White and ordered two of his albums.
