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.

Just got the Royal Albert Hall CD, Jack Bruce's voice sounds like crap. He has no range or depth it almost makes the songs he's singing unlistenable, thank God for Clapton's guitar work and vocals. They should have just let him sing everything.

McCartney can still sing but his range is much smaller. Dylan's voice has degraded appreciably. Jagger, well forget him. He never had any range to begin with. Clapton, unlike Bruce, had a lot less range to lose. Parts tend to wear over 37 years.

Cream is acting like the gestapo. For ticket pickup you need photo ID. You must be with the person you are going in with and you must go into the show as soon as you are handed your tickets. You can only pickup the tickets one hour before the show and you must present the credit card you bought the tickets with. So much for the spirit of Woodstock! Sounds more like Part 2 of the RNC (also at MSG).

I'm not sure placing the blame on the band is appropriate here. They probably have little, if any, to do with the ticket pick up requirements.

Au contraire. The message from ticketmaster specifically says: The extreme measures are at the band's behest because of the great demand for the tickets to try and eliminate scalping. Funny they don't seem to have much of a conscience about charging 370 bucks a ticket.
