fresh old cream
Lately I’ve been enjoying watching & listening to the DVD of the Cream Royal Albert Hall concerts. I already had the CD’s but got the DVD for Christmas. The CD’s are great stuff. The old Cream standards are all there, Sunshine of your Love, N.S.U., Badge, Spoonful, and my current favorite, White Room. There’s a great rendition of Rolling and Tumbling too! On a recent road trip I was able to get through both discs in one sitting (yes it was a long drive!) and listening to Clapton’s guitar with Bruce’s bass running under it was tremendous. You can listen and watch a clip (White Room) of the concert at their website
So when I finally got around to watching the DVD the songs were familar, yet watching them play added a whole new dimension. One that I never had since I never saw Cream play back in the day. The footage is crystal clear, and the sound is great (even with my desktop speakers – Monsoons). I still need to watch it using the surround sound system so I can see how it is with 5:1 sound.
If you’re a fan of Cream, I’d recommend either the CD or the DVD. They never sounded better.
