When I think of Trio acts, I equate that to 3 musicians that are at the top of the heap in their respective area. For me, that narrows the lot to just "Cream".
Cream "Live Vol 11" best examples the fire and lack of discplilned structure, also called "ad libbing", from the 60's and the reunion concert demonstrates maturity and discipline, in that they chose their gear more carefully from the much larger selection of the 2000's, and also were way past having to impress anyone, so could play the way they wanted and select the notes that pleased themselves. I feel you could observe them both listening to, and enjoying the music, as much as playing for the audience.
The other acts recommended previously were all good in their own way with different things to offer.
The only act I simply cannot like is Rush. I absolutely hate that singer and bass player. He makes me punch the dashboard to get him off the radio. Rush never made it in Aust and were not played there. I do however remember our singer bringing in a double live LP some time in the 70;s and we listened to is for a few minutes and smashed the record against the wall. We all thought they were crap and an insult to a recording contract.
Obviously, many foreigners though otherwise, but that is what it takes to make a world I guess.
