Cream, Royal Albert Hall: London, May 2-3-5-6 2005 [HD DVD] Summary In May of 2005 Cream returned to London's Royal Albert Hall--to the same stage where they had done what was thought be their final performance in 1968. It was one of the most eagerly anticipated, hard-to-get tickets in Rock history. With the exception of a brief reunion set at their 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cream had not played together in nearly four decades. This D

Movie Description Cream's Set Of Reunion Shows In May 2005 Was A Justly Hot Ticket. The Legendary Rock Trio Of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, And Eric Clapton--two Jazz Musicians And A Blues Guitarist--was One Of The Most Influential Bands Of The 1960s, Even Though They Played Together For Less Than Three Years. They Brought Their Psychedelic Fusion Of Blues And Pop Into The Mainstream With Albums Like Fresh Cream And Wheels Of Fire; Clapton, Long Regarded As One Of The Greatest Guitarists Of All Time, Did Some Of His Best Work On Those Albums. London's Royal Albert Hall, The Site Of What Was Supposed To Be Cream's Final Performance Back In 1968, Was Also The Venue For Their Reunion Show. Sounding As If They'd Been On Vacation For A Few Weeks Instead Of Disbanded For Well Over Three Decades, Cream Brought The House Down With A Series Of Four Shows, All Of Which Are Excerpted Here. The Band Performs Classics Like "spoonful," "born Under A Bad Sign," "sunshine Of Your Love," And "white Room," Among More Than 20 Others. Also Featured Are Interviews With Baker, Bruce, And Clapton.

They step onto the stage of London's Royal Albert Hall: Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Eric Clapton. The capacity crowd, which includes Sean Penn and Jude Law, stands to greet them. Thirty-seven years after their farewell concert, the famously fiery Cream did the unthinkable--they reunited. This double-disc collection (and accompanying CD set) captures highlights from the historic four-day engagement, beginning with a buoyant "I'm So Glad" and ending with a triumphant "Sunshine of Your Love." It would be churlish to suggest that Cream appears exactly as they did in the 1960s (Bruce looks a little frail), but the legendary power trio still has the goods. Bruce is still the essence of soul (a particularly rich vocal on "Politician"), while Baker is as irrepressible as ever (a rare vocal on "Pressed Rat and Warthog," percussive tour-de-force "Toad"). Then there's Clapton, who remains as much a master of the guitar as of understatement. "Thanks for waiting all these years," he quips after a slow-burning "Outside Woman Blues," then adds, "We're going to do every song we know." The track listing is, indeed, generous, despite the absence of such Cream classics as "I Feel Free," "Strange Brew," and "Tales of Brave Ulysses." All told, there are 22 songs plus three alternate takes--and not a bad one in the bunch. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
