Certainly left his mark on the drumming world, although a bit of a headcase back in the day.
Rest easy fella
Big Cream fan back in the day before the music died.
How the hell did he get to 80?
Just read his obituary- sounds a complete arsehole as a bloke, but no denying the talent.
Remember seeing him at Colchester Corn Exchange in 1970/71 with his 'Airforce'...at 11 30pm management put all the house lights on..cue 25 minute drum solo!
I have seen Clapton twice, once at the Royal Albert Hall, and once in Rome, seen Jack Bruce with Robin Trower in Rome, but Ginger Baker was the one that got away, RIP .
RIP Peter. Big fan of his.. proper Jensen driving jazzer with all the right influences and unparalleled technique in rock. Not a nice man but a great one.
I saw him in Cream, Airforce and Blind Faith. Great drummer but a bit of a knob by all accounts.

Saw the cream reunion tour. Even then he was a great talent. RIP.
