21 of 22
In May of 2005 Cream returned to London's Royal Albert Hall-to the same stage where they had completed what was thought to be their final performance in 1968. It was one of the most eagerly anticipated, hard-to-get tickets in rock history. With the exception of a brief reunion set at their 1993 induction into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame, Cream had not played together in nearly four decades. This DVD documents Cream's momentous London shows. Performances from each of the four nights are featured and much more. Also included are alternate performances and interviews with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton. Cream formed in 1966 and disbanded in 1968. The band were a prolific and thrilling live act and toured incessantly in their short but remarkable history.
The sheer power in this man's voice is unmatched by anyone in rock today.And don't get me started on how excellent his bandmates are.
The fact is Jack Bruce was basically a modern day Mozart. This man was not only an incredible singer - but also one of the best bass players ever. He played rock/jazz / the blues and every imaginable type of music you ever heard. Plus he was capable of not only playing a great bass guitar - but he also played a decent guitar/piano/violin/cello/and every other string instrument - and also some horned instruments. Oh - not to mention he was one of the best song writers of our time. His diversity is basically unmatched by any of today’s musicians. I know Eric Clapton gets most of the credit for Cream now a days - not that’s not the case. But surrounding Jack Bruce with Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton was an absolute gem in the music world.
@@danielmacdonald8349 Agree with you
@@danielmacdonald8349They were definitely THE CREAM.
And that's with a different liver in his body. After suffering a post-surgery coma he had to teach himself how to sing again. And that was just a year or so before this concert.

This song is not just a song, it's a experience.
I'm 70 years old , and simply said, the greatest musical impact , in my life , has been Eric Clapton.
Goddamnit bruce was a powerful vocalist even at that age.
Baker is like a river the way he keeps flowing and flowing and flowing and flowing. Brilliant. Masters. Goosebumps. Hypnotic. Listening to this song is one of my great joys. Wonderful lead by Clapton. For all of those who have commented on this song you are my fraternity of the mind.
Greg Mansur heyy Greg, "Fraternity of the Mind". That's such a great comment, I had to think for a moment, u know, just about stuff. Then I pictured my first car, a '68 Chevelle 2dr, with just a 250 straight 6. On Xmas Eve 1980 I bought it. Was that a flashback? Maybe. I mean probably :) but great music and great memories have 2 things in common - flashbacks and goosebumps but not necessarily in that order!!
Greg Mansur oh yeah, I almost forgot. Beware of Mr. Baker. Clapton is God like, and Jack Bruce? Did only what Jack Bruce could ever do.
Super musiciens très grand artiste
These DWs' with timpani mallets sound fucking GOOD. It's like there's a landslide and everything is crumbling, kind of like what the song is supposed to evoke.
Dispute all Ginger's rage and contentiousness, he is arguably among the top 2 drummers in rock & roll history to date. Just my humble opinion
Didn't they just all put thier hearts and souls into that song? Superb, pure genius.
We Are going wrong. Definetly.
Orwell
Yes
Their heart monitors!
@@yetivanmarshall1473 you think you are being funny, but you actually just made yourself look really stupid because they recorded this when they were in their 20s.
Since Ginger's death I've been binge watching videos of his performances. What amazes me is that despite his age and physical condition from years of drug abuse and an unhealthy lifestyle he is still an extraordinarily precise performer.
i agree, but pray for his violent soul as walked about, surface earth.
We won't see his equal again.
@@KD-ll8jf I think wounded soul would be more apt.
With all do respect, Baker never impressed. He called himself a jazz drummer first but I never saw or felt this in his playing. Very basic, ordinary, and safe. Never allowed himself to stretch or take chances.
@@andrewsandoz8005 rubbish
Sadly now there is only Eric. This last reunion is a fitting epitaph for the greatest power trio ever.
glad to read this (with tears) tonight. To sing out, that something is wrong, and that we are those is something we must keep in mind and soul, and thtat's it, and that we know that noone ever was born had found a solution. So, to pass is ok, I think. Thank you, Ian.
Absolutely right Ian.......the greatest trio ever in rock & roll history with all my respect to The Police
@@jaimepgodoy We all have our own opinions of best trio ever but let's not forget about that band from Canada, Rush.
Ian Roberts ~ Amen 🙏
...dont forget Peter, Paul & Mary
Love how Ginger's drums in this song take over the solo melody part usually occupied by Eric's lead guitar, while he plays more of the rythym. Can't think of another song that does anything like this.
this one Cream song is a Concert on to itself
Just epic British blues rock. The band nailed it. I loved the album cut but this live version just tore my heart into. Jack's vocal so haunting.
RIP Ginger, one of the great drummers of my lifetime....
My favorite Cream tune. The studio version does it no justice. Clapton is at the top of his game. R I P Ginger Baker.
This version is untouchable.
A lot of Cream's work from the Wheel's of Fire album from 1968 is sadly overlooked.
Read signs. Awareness
I agree that live versions are almost always better than studio versions. Particularly when there isn't any syntho-crap mixed in. A simple trio of drums / bass / lead guitar really leave little room for post production to mess with it. These three legends really spill out their lifetime of blues in this particular song. You just can't get this from a younger group, even when Cream was younger. They really left it on the stage. Simply awe inspiring!
I am an 82 year old rock/ blues lover...played bass in a simple r'n'r band in the 1950s( Ha!). While I abhor Clapton' s repugnant racism & other dubious political stances; his phrasing as a player is beyond compare. Listen to the pauses in his solo , " Going Wrong" ...poignantly expressive. The Master.
I Just Realized that One of the Reasons for Me to Live 70 Years is to Hear this Masterful Performance of this Song!
Thanks for Posting it!
The ultimate 3-man rock band. Musical genius.
No, those are three wizards.
Clinton krew that like Orwell, Anthony de Mello ( Awarness). We Are going wrong

Fabulous. I was never interested in anything Eric Clapton did after Cream, but this is sublime, a meeting of musical minds. RIP Jack and Ginger.
I agree I didn’t follow Clapton after Cream.
@@juliewillard1367 Sorry, but then you've both missed a lot of great music over the years. Eric Clapton's first solo album in 1970, is brilliant, as is his Layla Album. Oh yes, and before those was Blind Faith. I'm sorry that you've missede all that great work.
@@briankorbelik2873 The Blind Faith album is in my top 10 all-time list, and IMHO 'Have You Ever Loved A Woman' with Duane Allman from the Layla album is one of his two best-ever songs, the other being the live version of 'Double Trouble' with Steve Winwood.
I was born in 1950, age 17 during The Summer Of Love, and Life and Music were and still are Awesome!
@@briankorbelik2873 I recently listened to Layla gain, after many years, and it didn't hold up; it sounded dated. Blind Faith was his best work after Cream; the Hyde Park concert is fab...
All of the 3 of them were superb artists..we will never hear their like again..a musical gift from who knows where?
I like to say that sometimes the moon and stars align and the universe is perfect, and the result is an awesome performance.
This is one of those times.
Rip jack and ginger 💙
Eric Clapton at that time was the most gifted lyrical ,melodious blues / rock guitarist playing. His solos on Cossroads & We're Going Wrong never been surpassed.
I play this song for people who don't "get" the drums. Ginger was the man, no doubt. And so were/are the other two.
Another good one for "getting" drummers importance is Manic Depression from the Experience. Mitchell's drumming makes that cut.
@@markb.4977 Absolutely. I read somewhere someone aptly calling it "the strangest waltz ever written." :) Mitch was fantastic.
Kofi is doing his old man proud.
They must have readvOrwell
The other two are pretty decent tbh. 😂 just a bit then. Haha
WOW. Just, WOW! These guys were all in their 60's when this took place. The interplay among the 3 players is unparalleled in rock history, IMHO
Must have read Orwell....
I guess Prorok' Daniel as well.
Many artist tolerancja this - Stoh wrong on this world. Religijne as well.
Anthony de Mello "Awarness".
Age doesn't matter when it comes from the heart and soul.
The world's most intense, beautiful, heart-wrenching love song is right here...none better, ever. Cream's output= musical perfection. Jack's voice, totally haunting. So glad I grew up in their era. Love Cream 💖!
I thought they were singing about something more profound than love - the state of the world.
@@johnwoods7650 They surely are.
Definetly we Are going wrong.
Orwell, Huxley, Anthony de Mello, Philip Dick... Daniel of course knew that before them. Grace. We got it. :)
Philip K. Dick was ridiculously good. Read him for years...
@@louisef.9137 Kind of Prorok our Times. You should read Daniel Book in Biblii. And forget about any Religion. BUT NOT JESUS. ITS COMPLETLY NOT THE SAME :) If u are looking for the Truth - Awerness, book of Anthony de Mello. I mean reset ur mind. I did that :)
So sorry Jack is gone. R.I.P. I will never get to see them all. Well maybe on the other side, if I straiten up.
The best song they ever wrote and played.......and I was there……much under-rated...........Mark
Jack wrote that song on his own after some argument he had with his first wife Janet
Jack wrote the core of the song but he didn't write Claptons lead or Bakers astounding rhythm assault without either it would have been a pretty subpar song
Da hauts mi um Pfau, heb ab
@@xblood1978 - Jack wrote the melody, bass lines and suggested the tympani mallets for this tune. Clapton improvised the solo from its inception.
Mesmeric! They put guys 40 years their junior to shame.
Jack Bruce had an amazing voice and style, even better in 2005.
superb, powerful emotional vocals --this song just rips at my heart--one of the greatest of all rock perfomances
I cry everytime I hear this song. More so now in this time in history. xoxo RIP Ginger RIP Jack. xoxo
Mine time, and always has done.
And this performance is simply superb. The emotion is etched for all to see.
This cannot capture Gingers drumming that night ..it was intense he was bloody brilliant .it was the number of the night. RIP mate
If youre not crying by the end ur not human
the fantastic and wonderful Mr. Jack Ross, sorely missed.
AMAZING!!!!
This song has haunted me for over half a century and here Jack Bruce has trumped his younger self in spades.
imagine 3 musicians who were considered the cream of the crop in the late 60s reuniting after 40 years. you can hear the change. they've grown as men and as artists. and it's like all the experience they gained has just made them come back home to cream. this version has a certain finality to it. it's magical. i dont believe in absolute peaks and lows, they're relative terms, but these 3 guys here achieved the most they could together. long live the music.
Touching the deepest regions of my soul. Awesome.What a band. R.I.P Jack. Thanks for all the good music!

Hard to believe this was 18 years ago...... It only feels like yesterday i was waiting for the DVD and CD to come out.
Never heard this song before. Really beautiful. Best trio ever.

Ginger, Eric and Jack are Gods!!!
They are Odin, Thor and Loki of the Music Valhalla!
My favourite track from Disraeli Gears! Fantastic live rendition. All three of them spot-on, so tight. Cream at their best. Clapton at his best. Super Jack Bruce song. And the amazing Ginger Baker - one of the very best drummers ever imho - like, just one long fill on the toms throughout - and that metronomic hi-hat! So great to see them working together on this video. And great that it's so much longer than the studio version. Love it. RIP Jack and Ginger.
There simply cannot be a better live performance of such a great song by such a sublime trio after 36 years apart Bruce, Baker and Clapton showed that they were together still sublime.
Blows my mind how they hit it so solid ...and Clapton...what can be said...
Absolutely Stunning Version.......you could hear a pin drop whilst this song was being played........
He must read Orwell. ..
they were great in the initial form, and this is just interstellar good. Farewell Peter Edward Baker, what a soul.
The must know the Truth.
Orwell. Huxley. Hippi generation, sociotechics...
Cannot stop watching this..awestruck
Damn.gingers holding this whole thing together.wow.just wow.
Poor Eric was very sick with the flu doing this show (you can tell) but he still played his ass off..a true Master..
He had just gotten over the flu the week before, as had Jack.
justafanintexas jack almost died 😂 it was a little more than the flu
@@ryanperron8309 - My sound company worked these shows and MSG. Bruce had the flu with Clapton the week before. Bruce recovered a day before Eric, then Eric and rehearsals at Oxbridge continued. But, we'll go with your story for God knows why, right?
justafanintexas you know he almost died a year before right? I didn’t know he got sick again a week earlier as well.
@@ryanperron8309 - 11 months before the shows. He and Eric both had the flu - bad.
very few can keep time like Mr. Baker. The progression is like no other
Ethereal and haunting.
This song is just so beautifully done. So much emotion. The first time I heard it, it bought tears to my eyes. Now, years later, it still hits hard. So glad they got together one more time.
Just heard this again - WOW!
Jack what a bass.... man
What a voice!
R.I.P. Jack.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
English blues. 3 guys from different corners of the UK. Captivating song when released in my youth. Emotional to hear now. I have always loved this band - was crushed when they broke up my freshman year in college. Terrific performance, the reunion was much appreciated.
Point of fact, Eric and Ginger are from the Greater London Area while Jack is from Scotland.
You mean 3 British guys
We Are all blind.

I think this is my favorite musical performance ever.
I've watched and listened to this many times and I am still amazed at the power of their playing.
And Jack Bruce blows my mind. Still.
David Birks, proud to say I was a there...Changed my life
Greatest 3 man band, ever!
Jack Bruce is the best vocalist ever.
much agreed!
People who are tone deaf, suffer with tinnitus etc should treasure this song for its melodies and sheer class of the musicianship with the three men. Cream will never go SOUR.
Anyone who DISAGREES with that is a moron.
This song really gets to me for some reason, Cream forever
It always got to me too
Jack, Ginger thanks for your art, music, talent... R.I.P.
That voice and ginger baker.killer.
One of the very finest blues performances ever recorded. It simply does not get better than this! Jack is singing about a real life situation and they all are in perfect sync!
The greatest rock reunion I think I've ever see. Zep had no chance of matching this.
Just love this song. The drums are fantastic so melodic and dreamlike. Totally hypnotic. Brilliant.
absolutely outstanding version, incredible good
As a lifelong Cream fan, begining the week of the first album's release, I was VERY apprehensive about this reunion but as other guys have confessed on this concert's many clip pages... there were a number of moments in the DVD where I didn't just well up, I cried. I know younger fans will find that silly... but that's OK, I'd probably feel the same way...
I'm witcha,brother! very emotional for me as well.
edfou5 This music meant the world 🌎 to a lot of people 🕉☯️
edfou5 Nothing wrong with having special memories come pouring back an making you cry. It's if you didn't, that would make you weird.
brought me to tears too
I saw them regularly at the Marquee club, aswell as other places and the farewell concert. I've seen most of the great 60's groups , Blind Faith, Stones, Doors , Jefferson Airplane , Who etc....Cream were the best. And yes it does still bring a tear to one's eyes...
I know that Baker can be a huge tool, but his drumming here is goegeous. And Jack playing fretless...
All three are fabulous.
Classic forever
My favourite Cream song by far! Still love hearing it more than 50 years on...
This concert is just legendary. It will be savoured by many for many years to come as it was the last final reunion for the three of them.
Brilliant version!!! Jack..Ginger...Eric ....Rock music is 'debtor' to CREAM a lot!!
So glad at age 63, Ive managed to exist in the age of legends.
Ginger glued that whole thing together. Bravo!
God bless Jack Bruce-RIP. Still had his voice after he certainly did more than enuff to silence it.
I don't get a sense they had anything to prove, as a trio they are legend. It just seems when you get these master players together you get cream. For me it is rare to see this level of rock Muscianship weaving around each other.
Beautiful! Love you Ginger Baker
You could hear a pin drop during this song. The audience seemed spell bound.
What is musical artistry? The power to touch people's hearts..minds & souls..and here ii us so magnificently in this one poem/ song.
Brilliant song. Excellent rendition.
They must have read Awarness Anthony de Mello and Orwell
I haven´t seen Clapton this happy in a long time.m % million each for these shows. I would be happy too.
safe hands with ginger. love him
Great performance! As much as I love the studio version, I prefer Jack's delivery on this more. What a loss. RIP
We Are all blind :)

Great song, great band great musicians. RIP, Bruce and Baker. Eric carry on with your music.
The best ever trio powerhouse. They engineered and spearheaded the future of rock. Many other future band individuals looked on all 3 as major influences as to where they wanted to go.
Jack Bruce descansa maestro, Viviras para siempre . Tu música en lo más alto.

Todo mal , debemos abrir nuestra mente ,.. contra los poderosos y la injusticia
....but now we are doing it right....😇...great music from Jack, Ginger & Eric
The accompany from Eric and Ginger. They understand and wantonly defer to the spectacular of Jack. As powerful a fantastic belted catharsis with brilliant friends ...name one. i'll listen.
The most haunting song anyone's life experience
Each of the musical instrument come together into a genius song. It’s only three and hear thousands!!!
phantastic song and performance
This is stunning
I wish they could've officially reformed and put out an album before it was too late. Now it is with Jack and Ginger now gone
Perfect exemple of talented acrobats without a safety net... coming from a time when musicians couldn't use safety nets.
To me Cream was always Bruce and Baker Best rhythm section ever.
I think this alternate take was included cause Clapton's solo is just friggin' hot as shit.
No, I love this song. listen to an earlier version when they had the soaring Jack Bruce voice. he was ill and I believe died shortly after these concerts.
If you don´t cry without sorrow, but with awe of the time past, hearing this song, then you have no soul regardless your age
One of my fave Cream songs JB's vocals are spine tingling. An anthem for today's state of affairs..
The mixture of Jazz,Blues and a strong vocalist equels an asskicking song.Who knew?
Brilliant track, almost understated in the perfect presentation of the music. I was 14 when I saw them playing I Feel Free on Top of the Pops in 1966, thought to myself, this is the group I have looking for.Still blown away by their music. When people are leaving my funeral service it will be to the sound of Crossroads. Best ever
As good as it gets !!!
My favourite Cream song .The drumming is beautiful and haunting and Jacks vocal is simply wonderful.
The voice > Jack Bruce. What a beautiful voice that man had? As well as being an awesome musician. RIP Great man. You will live on in our hearts
RIP Ginger...teamed back up with Jack forever
great that ginger and jack got clapton to actually play again after so many years
Unbelievable! I have loved Cream since quite a long while now but I fell in love with *We're Going Wrong* today. For these three to produce something this magnificent must have been tricky, I think. That's because they hadn't made something like this before. It's an experience, really. A beyond pleasant one, in fact.
Thank you, Cream.
Hauntingly awesome!
Goosebumps is right! Thrilling, majestic, intense, urgent ... and the band feels it. Look at Jack and Eric at the end, they're grim, drained. They put their whole souls into that performance. Thank god for these musicians who got together to create and excel, and to blow us away with their craft. What a time that was. And thank god they did it again 39 years later.
They were both still getting over a bout with the flu from the previous week.
