This "documentary" of sorts has become one of my favorite. There are quite a few stories from not only Eric, Jack and Ginger, but from close associates of theirs telling their view on the rise and abrupt end of Cream.
Eric and Jack seem fairly content with their story and on their experiences being in the band but Ginger seems quite bitter towards Jack. You never really quite know why Ginger despises Jack so much, you aren't really told what Jack did throughout their relationship that seems to irritate Ginger so much.
Ginger does speak a bit on not getting credited for song-writing contributions. Nevertheless, he is quite animated when speaking about the band. It is sad to see his dislike of Jack.
Being a guitarist myself and having sat for hours on end in my mid-teens copping Clapton licks and learning Crossroads note-for-note back in the very early seventies, I have always looked to the Cream as one of the fountains of information for learning to play blues/rock guitar. This dvd is a real treat for me. If were or are really into the Cream, then I think that you would enjoy this DVD. |

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. |
