I like Moon and Bonham as much as anyone, but check out Ginger Baker in this clip:
From wiki:
Cream made a significant impact upon the popular music of the time, and, along with Jimi Hendrix, they popularised the use of the wah-wah pedal. They provided a heavy yet technically proficient musical theme that foreshadowed and influenced the emergence of British bands such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and The Jeff Beck Group in the late 1960s. The band’s live performances influenced progressive rock acts such as Rush, jam bands such as The Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead, Phish and heavy metal bands such as Black Sabbath.
Cream was ranked #16 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and Rolling Stone named them the sixty-sixth greatest artist of all time.[13] In 2010 VH1 also ranked them #61 on their 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Wow! Great video.
Jim, the Pacific View debacle might be coming to an end.

Jack Bruce looks so young in this video
We saw them in London 5 or 7 years ago – old rock drummers don’t age well! Still a great time though.
Jack’s hat and Eric’s vest are just classic.
I’m biased of course, but this was the Golden Age of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Thanks for posting, Jim. That was fantastic!
