I got motivated after reading the double album thread that devolved into any record whether 1 or 3 disks. So, since you pissed me off, I'll start a new thread.
I am sure many will say that Cream was the best power trio. No doubt we'll have some Grand Funk fans. Certainly the Hendrix Experience will be tops. Blue Cheer? Groundhogs? Rush? Buddy Holly?
You can't have a singer and 3 piece band, so no Who, Zeppelin, Nazareth, Jeff Beck Group (w/Rod Stewart)- NO! That won't count.
The best trio:

One album. Live. The Band of Gypsies.

Cream.
I agree though Band of Gypsies is phenomenal but there are way too many horrible Hendrix shows recorded to hand them the crown.
For SINGLE performance no contest, though. B of G is the King.
Holy crap, is that opinionated or what!?

These guys have been around for years. Glenn is in the Chicago Blues Hall of fame. AND he runs a 500 bed shelter for homeless and drug ridden people in the Windy City. Teaches them a trade. Makes his own guitars and amps. Does a little preachin, too. :wink:

I was a student at a small university in New England. We had Jimi perform in April or May of 1968. He put on two shows. The first show's audience consisted of all the BMOCs and their dates. The second was all the rest of us freaks who got in for $5 a head with no reserved seating. A buddy attended both shows, he said the first one was ok. The second one was something else. He and the audience played off each other and things went nuts. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. It didn't hurt that the auditorium held only 900 so it was pretty much very intense. I will also add that his recordings don't do him justice he had a very melodious voice that his recordings don't capture.

Taste/ Rory Gallagher as a trio. Especially the early seventies with Wilgar Campbell on drums and Gerry McAvoy on bass.
Pete

The Paladins are right up there.
Paul mark and The Van Dorens, too. "The Drinks are on Me" is a good a song in the blues idiom as you'll ever hear-not a 3 chord mess but a simply fantastic story in a song.
Tal Farlow's trio was simply god like, too. And the Bob James trio. And The Police-it's never ending.

The Kingston Trio? NOT!
For me it's Rush, followed closely by Cream. :popcorn:

I think of Cream as a supergroup more than a power trio. I certainly can't argue against Rush, but George and the Destroyers should be considered.

Oh...so what's the definition of a Power Trio then?

Well , the first thing is the guitars have to be plugged into a great big stack of Marshall amplifiers :shocked: :grin:

But seriously, put me down for Hendrix.

Steve Pryor
and the Mighty Kingsnakes
Sometimes they had a keyboard player , and on occasion back in the day an incredible electric washboard player would sit in with the boys , but at their core they were a 3 chord power trio .
Then there was a band from Little Rock Arkansas that apparently disappeared somewhere over Arizona that went by JJ McVeigh and the Moneymakers. Those boys could throw down also .

Hard to argue with Cream or ZZ Top or Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble.. Or Rory Gallagher. Or the James Gang - never knew they were a trio. Or Rush. Or Grand Funk.
I'll throw in another: Robin Trower, Reg Isidore and James Dewar. Every time I hear "Bridge of Sighs" I marvel that its only 3 guys.

Well by comparison Crosby, Stills & Nash is a lot more electric than Peter, Paul & Mary...where's that stack of amplifiers now!

ZZ TOP :thumb:
I've seen ZZ Top more than any arena band. Going back to 1972 opening for Humble Pie in Tulsa. And Billy G mentions his visit with Jimi.
Nevertheless, the BOJ live album was just great. It's #1 for me. I mean Billy Cox can keep it together as whole the whole thing goes.
I suppose if I had seen Hendrix (+ Buddy Miles), I might have a different opinion. I'd see Stevie R a few times too. I especially liked the show he jammed with Huey Lewis in Norfolk in '84. One of the best shows ever.
"Who knows?" :laugh:

My garage band used to play some Mountain stuff. Since no one knew it, it was like we had done it ourselves.

Someone explain what happened to those guys from Cleveland?

BTW, my garage band used to play "Walk Away". I got the double hi hat going on it.

Guys, lots of good stuff. I mean Stevie Ray is a pretty good one. ZZ Top for sure. James Gang? I'd forgotten. All good stuff.
But I have to say that Hendrix live record is still on top. I think we'll have to promote the The Band of Gypsies as the all star Wild Guzzi best power trio of all time.
Thanks for playing. :wink:
Of course I might be wrong.

The Big Sky Project - Never heard of them? Not a lot of people have, I'd say a very lucky handful, literally.. :wink:
TBSP was power trio we formed and I was in about 10-12 years ago. That's me 11 years ago on the left playing a '77 Fender Precision Bass in Olympic white.
