Their fully-authorized story in a 2-disc deluxe set! The beginning, the farewell, the reunion. Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce tell how it was... and how it is. Cream, the world's first "supergroup," stunned the pop world when it burst on the Swinging '60s. Produced with full cooperation from the band, this fascinating documentary tells their full amazing story. Exclusive new interviews reveal how success affected them and how they created the smash hits "I Feel Free," "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room." See highlights of their career: Cream's birth in 1966, the sudden break-up in 1968, and an historic reunion in 2005 with sold-out concerts in London and New York which rekindled the public's fascination with this all-star trio. Together with interviews with key music industry figures, here is the best, most informative insight into a cultural phenomenon that shaped the future of rock.
Disc 1 includes unreleased archive footage, new interviews with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce and others, plus music, performance footage, rare and unseen photographs and memorabilia!
Disc 2 (audio) includes Swedish Radio sessions ("Konsert med Cream," 1967) and 5 previously unreleased audio tracks: "NSU," "Steppin' Out," "Traintime," "Toad" and "I'm So Glad."

A two-disc set comprising of interviews,video clips and live music, this is a highly entertaining collection with Jack Bruce,Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker telling us in their own words how the world's first supergroup formed, hit the top of the charts with such hits as Sunshine of Your Love and White Room, then self destructed in just a few short years, only to reform for the celebrated 2005 Cream at Albert Hall concerts. Poet Pete Brown, who had a hand in most of Creams songs, also is interviewed.
The only complaint I have about the main program is Ginger Baker who comes across as as quite bitter and unrelenting in his interview when commenting about Jack Bruce. One would think that Ginger would have mellowed out a bit over the years, but sadly it isn't so! But the fantastic music more than makes up for it. |

There some great interviews on here, with Cream and people affiliated with them. But after a while it gets to be too much talk and not enough action. It would have been great to hear some musical clips to accompany the interviews.
Also, the one extra interview I listened to with Solomon Burke and B.B. King, does not mention Cream at all. |

| I had high expectations regarding the dvd/cd and here is the result: cd with stockholm concert was many times issued on bootlegs so it came as no surprise with same sound effect. DVD has plenty of interviews and the songs from revolutionary club were issued on dvd fresh live cream.Huge dissapointment is coming from no performance in 1993 (Hall of fame) and 2005 (Madison) they only interview people about the concert - joke or what? Better buy Jack Bruce Cream of Cream dvd. |

| This DVD should more accurately be called, "The Revenge of Baker". He is so intent on slandering Jack Bruce that it really takes the joy out of the package. For years, they've been best of buddies, intermittently, and then at each other's throats. And clearly, the interviewers caught Ginger at a down moment. His relentless negativity about Jack and about Cream and their history makes this thing a complete downer. Jack Bruce, to his credit, keeps it all polite and interesting until the end where he says, "Ginger is a saint!!" while laughing. The depth of the look at the early careeers of these three is quite laudable. And it's interesting to get the perspective of the band members after the Madison Square Garden reunion concerts - which were not particularly good - and served as the catalyst for the break-up of the band (again). The reunion was like the first time they were together, only on fast forward. Also, it would be nice if someone could explain to Ginger the difference between writing a song and arranging it and playing the drum part of it. You just have to laugh when Ginger argues that he should have gotten writing credit for the drum part in White Room. Yeah, it's a sgnature hook into the song, but he didn't write the music and he didn't write the words. He's just a bitter old man. Anyway, it's a shame that their reunion ended in bitter ruins all these years later. At least the rest of us still have the music. And by the way, the CD included with this package is just okay. The sound quality is pretty lousy and the performances are all right. It's nothing I care to listen to more than once or twice. If you don't already have the other Cream DVDs - including the Disraeli Gears one, and that other Cream history, go get those first. They actually have performances on them and everyone is in a better mood. The best part of this DVD is the three song performance at the Revolution Club. That's sheer joy. |
