IMHO, Clapton's vocals whith Cream were the band's best offerings. Also, his vocals at this time were, in my considered opinion, the best of his career. Like many artists that cleaned up from drugs (James Taylor comes to mind) I lost interest as they lost their musical soul. Clapton's last great music was with Derek And The Dominos. Not promoting drug abuse, just making an observation.
Cream at Madison Square Garden
Did anybody happen to see this show? I see the Royal Albert Hall shows will be released on a DVD by Rhino Records.\ This is the Amazon link; a CD will also be available.

Will be interesting to see what kind of role Clapton assumes since he was, basically, a guitar player (and always has been in my book; ie, lousy song writer and mediocre vocalist). A great guitar player but a guitar player nonetheless.
