The Concert That Started It All For The Return Of CREAM…
CREAM:
ROYAL ALBERT HALL LONDON 2005 ~Available on Blu-ray on October 11, 2011~
These songs, recorded
in Dolby Digital 5.1/DTS-HD Master Audio, taken from four nights’ worth, prove Cream’s unerring
sense of timing and drama remained intact. It was so good, in fact, they did what nobody ever thought they’d do:
reunite for a stateside tour. And it all started here.
This
epic 19-song high-definition reunion concert of guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, bassist/vocalist Jack
Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker—who hadn’t played together in nearly 40 years—comes
complete with an additional three bonus tracks: alternate versions of “Sleepy Time Time,” “We’re
Going Wrong” and “Sunshine Of Your Love.” Interviews with all three legends make up the remainder of this
historic two-hour and 47-minute classic.
Cream’s
four studio albums – Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, Wheels Of Fire, and Goodbye –
were all successful, and yielded numerous hit singles. Still, it was their incendiary and revolutionary approach to live performance
that made them stand out head and shoulders above their peers. This very special chemistry can be felt on Cream:
Royal Albert Hall London 2005.
Despite being together
originally from only 1966 to 1968, these three not only set the standard for power trios but became god-like to their fans
in their virtuosity and intricate bombastic jamming. The interplay between the three of them—all three soloing simultaneously!—was
like nothing that had ever come before. To even the surprise and delight of the musicians themselves, that bond did not break
through the decades.
