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.

I heard "Spoonfull" Monday the day before the DVD was released and if age is a factor your worried about don't be, they were tight,loud and having a hell of alot of fun up there. It's nice to hear jack Bruce and Eric Clapton have made up. There will be NO studio album though

Ginger Baker had been slamming crank when he was with Cream and Blind Faith. He was a user plain and simple. When I was young I had a black and white poster of Cream and (L-R Clapton,Baker,Bruce)no matter where you went in my bedroom Ginger's eyes would be staring right at you.His jaw bone was so gaunt,his pupils were pins, I'm surprised he is still alive today and still recording jazz.

I'm all for anything to stop scalpers, they don't even go to the show,they take away the show from people,real fans who can only afford one or two concerts a year. A 370 dollar ticket being scalped could go for a 1000. If they come to L.A. I'll go,this is one group I missed in my youth and let's face it the other one Hendrix won't be coming around anytime soon.
