This is a true story. Back in October '68 I saw Cream at The Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston (tickets were $3, $4, $5, and $6). I don't remember what price mine were, but we were just happy to be there. Before we took our seats, we hit the snack bar to load up on crap before the show.
While we were waiting our turn, some random dude walked by and said that we could see the band up close if we followed him down to a roped off area a little further away. We followed his lead and came to a stairwell where we could see a little way down. After standing there for couple of minutes, we saw movement coming up the staircase towards us.
There were 2 security guys standing close by, but that was it.
We walked as far up to the ropes as possible, and stood there getting excited. After less than a minute, lo and behold !, here they came. First came Jack Bruce, followed by Eric Clapton, followed by Ginger Baker. Jack and Eric just passed us by without so much as a glance in our direction.
They all came within 3 feet of us on the way to the stage. Ginger walked by last, and he looked over at us and sort of grinned.
They all must of thought "Who are these punks" as they passed us by.
We were all in 7th heaven though. Great show that night.

Absolutely true story.

I don’t remember any of the set lists, but I do remember hearing during The Soft Machine’s set Robert Wyatt (who was wearing a sort of Tarzan loincloth) chanting “I did it again” repeatedly for quite some time during one of their songs. I’m sure Hendrix must have played most of the songs off his “Are You Experienced “ album during His set list
