the reunion album is outstanding.....fresh and vital. for the first time in years, clapton plays the guitar like he's trying to prove himself worthy of his legend. the definitive versions of the songs however are the originals. one would hope these guys could pull off an album of new material. i believe they feed off of,compete with, and complement each other the way great bands always do(witness the stooges reunion). to simply go back to solo projects (as artists anyway) seems a bit cowardly.
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.
