Cream live Royal albert CD / LP


I just saw the DVD and was really impressed with the version of Badge and some of the other classics. This inspired me to dust off my 1991 Eric Clapton Royal Alb dbl. live CD and the badge on this along with the other songs encourage sleep more than a bottle of tylenol PM. Have any of you heard the Cd or LP as I would love to have the best avail two channel recordings of Badge, Sunshine o.y.l. and white room.... I was hoping the Cd was good as I may not be ready to drop $90 on the Vinyl version. Thanks in advance.

>>The voices have not aged as well, as say Jaggers<<

You're serious right? Jagger had a marginal singing voice 40 years ago. He doesn't "sing" anymore, he basically talks with the music. Jagger at his very best had an ordinary, albeit highly distinguishable, voice.
I appreciate your opinion on the Cream album but one of your points was the aging of the vocalists compared to Mick Jagger. In that regard I take issue with you.
Yes I've heard the album and seen the concert. I'll admit that Jack Bruce's voice has deteriorated over time but not nearly as much as Jagger's. Simply put, Mick Jagger can no longer sing. Yes he's acrobatic, yes he still has the moves, yes he still excites the crowd but no he can't sing. Fact of the matter is, Clapton's voice is much better today than both Jagger and Bruce. Perhaps because he never had Bruce's range. Jagger never had any range. However 35 years ago Bruce was far and away the better vocalist of the three.
