After a 37 year absence Cream reformed in May 2005 for a series of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, the stage of their last UK performance. As befitting a trio whose focus was always squarely on the music, they emerge to no fanfare, briefly test their instruments and launch into the perfectly apt "I'm So Glad." Drawing from each of their four studio albums, they revisit the songs for their inherent resonance and as a springboard for their instrumental interplay. There's no need to update the material, as it all still fits each of the three men like a thousand dollar suit. Bruce's vocals still soar with operatic bearing, Clapton sounds energized, freed from the production cushioning on his own recordings, and Baker, now in his mid-sixties, can still dazzle with his solo turn on "Toad." --David Greenberger
Album Description
Cream, the legendary band of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton, performed for the first time in 37 years in May 2005. One of the most highly anticipated reunions in rock, the concert at London's Royal Albert Hall-where the band played its farewell show November 26, 1968-returned to the stage the trio that forever changed rock 'n' roll. Now the best of those historic peformances are available on Royal Albert Hall London May 2-3-5-6 2005. This is classic Classic Rock. A companion DVD is being released utilizing different takes of the same tracks.

 Cream and HD-DVD at their best! November 12, 2008
R. Cochran (Charlotte, NC)
This HD-DVD is simply amazing. Yes, the format lost to Blu-Ray but there are so many great titles to be had and my Toshiba HD-A2 is running strong. I saw this concert at a friends house and knew I had to have it. The video and audio presentation is top notch and if you are a Cream fan or just a Clapton fan then you will love it. This is my favorite HD-DVD without a doubt. Highly recommended.

The HD DVD arrived within several days in perfect condition. The quality of video and sound are superb! You can choose between Dolby 5.1 or Stereo for playback. I chose Dolby and felt like I was at the live concert. The attention to detail with the multiple camera angles is also amazing. This concert really brought me back. I have played it several times with friends (including musicians) and they're impressed with its live feel.
Clapton, Bruce and Baker...Icons! March 18, 2008
T. Denny
Anyone who appreciates classic iconic rock should NOT let this one pass them by. Defintitely the BEST purchase I have made on HD DVD to date. Clapton, Bruce, and Baker are still superb and are yet as good or better than 95% of the bands playing today. These 3 play so tight together you'd think they'd never broke up almost 40 years ago.
The audio (dts 5.1) is icing on the cake along with the extremely sharp video. I was glad to see the video showcases each musician's talent instead of the odd psychedelic crap from the vintage tapes. The interview also provides an interesting inside look at how this reunion came together.
I don't know if Rhino will ever release this on Blu-Ray, but if they don't, that will be their loss.
Pick this one up and if you even slightly like Cream, you won't be disappointed.
Great Concert February 29, 2008
Daryl Pizanie (Houston,Texas)
I love this recording. I like the song selection and the photography is great. This comes out clear and crisp in HD. If you like Cream, you need to get this DVD!
