Post Description

What a difference a few decades makes! Cream, the power-trio consisting of Eric Clapton on guitar and vocals, Jack Bruce on bass and vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums were officially together only from 1966 to 1968 and released four albums. Those four studio albums, Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire, and Goodbye, yielded numerous hits, but the band hadn’t played together four nearly four decades until coming together again, prompted by Eric Clapton, for a reunion stint at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2005, the shows captured on this high definition release from Eagle Rock Entertainment.

The reunion was so successful, it led to a full blown reunion tour in the US. These three “geezers” may have looked a bit worse for wear and tear, but the sound emanating from the stage was something new and reborn. Don’t come to this 2005 incarnation of Cream expecting to hear the same old worn out copy of Disraeli Gears you’ve been playing to death; the songs take on new life and vigor, with all the energy and skill of veterans who have honed their craft and know how to rock effortlessly. If you think the White Stripes can throw down some raucous blues, then you ain’t heard nothin’ yet.

The shows also include performances of tracks that Cream never had the chance to perform live in the past, such as “Pressed Rat and Warthog” and “Badge.” These should really be appreciated by fans, old and new.
