- Cream - "NSU"
Live at the Madison Square Garden October 26th 2005. The last reunion: Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton on stage together perhaps for the last time. - Hudba
Clapton is really flying here. This is probably the last time he'll ever play like this.
I'm currently 16, a few months away from 17 and so happy that I saw this concert- the last concert in history by 2nd favorite group Cream! That was such a great show considering I had just turned 9.
forgive me for not exploding with passion over 3 old men and their tired old 50 year arguements!!!PLEASE!!!!
Mr. Clapton:
While I admire and respect you without question, especially for your brilliant work with "CREAM", may I make one humble suggestion? PLAY GIBSONS! Thank you!
Cream can not "be" with a Fender
I agree. This break is a trip---in the sense of a sound journey. Besides EC's inspired playing, Jack is having fun using fingerstyle on the high reaches of his bass, never losing the bottom.
nobody knows what goes on between them except them!!!!
saw these guys 3 straight weekends at the fillmore aud. in s.f. in 1967 for $3 for 6 hours of music each night with 2 other local
bands. saw hendrix the preceding weekend.
then did the avalon 2 weekends later to catch jim morrison and the doors for $2.50 and 6 hours of music and a belly full of baklava, and a free poster for each visit.
This is a great performance and stands on it's own, but for my money, the version on Live Cream Vol. 1 is the most incredible live jam they ever recorded. It stands as a symphonic arrangement of a free form jazz-rock exposition that is magnificent in every way.
they might be old, but they are all phenoms of music
wish i was there,to bad I couldnt get tickets :0(
Really?
Clapton allways cracks me up with his 3rd form bar chords. It looks like he's giving the finger.
Poor old Eric the greatest guitarist in the world...as long as he's standing with Jack and Ginger
Cream 4ever
MOARR!!!!
me too! amazing!
Oh yes, the Royal Albert Hall shows were the best by far. It all came together then.
1967 stockholm sweden first heard this live concert .shall i say more
I agree! Also, they don't stop and let Jack keep going in the breaks between verses, which is kinda weird. On the whole, the Live Cream Vol. 1 version is definitive. I wish they had recorded all of that show, the audio quality is awesome and their performance is spot-on.
i noticed that too for years..lol
I think with "Live Cream" they were onto an almost new type of music. It was like a rock n' roll 65 era Coltrane type band. I don't think it would be fair to describe this era Cream as progressive rock because their sound was so much earthier, raw and much heavier. Still, it was pulsating and improvosational. I can see why Clapton took a breather into more mellow song forms (using The Band as an inspiration). Still, it woudl have been cool to see him continue to explore the outer limits.
狂喜乱舞､再結成で再現してくれた"N S U"～～永遠成り大CREAM
agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddd!!!!!!!
It would be great if they could do another reunion with the focus and ease of the RAH shows but the fire of these shows.
I agree. Bruce and Baker are the reasons for the free form-ness of it all (especially Bruce). Clapton was great but I think Bruce drove him on that jam. I wish he was willing to take his guitar as far out as Bruce took his bass (for that particular jam on "Live Cream"). What do you think? That said, Clapton's guitar work on that jam is insanely brilliant...I just think Bruce was on another level entirely.
anyone by any chance have recordings of "We're Going Wrong" form these gigs? I have herd EC gets his old Woman Tone almost perfectly for those performances
i know EC wasn't to fond of these gigs, and Ginger and Jack had some arguments....but MAN that was awesome....the jam was what Cream was all about.
well i think it would be of higher quality if t it wa slonger. btw look at clapton using that marshall stack at 2:59!
Not all about length - it's quality
@Woody263 right! they haven't lost it!
Well, Clapton onhce said "Cream" got a bit too "free form" from time to time for his taste, and the jamming got away from the basic blues form which he loves so much. I think Jack, being a bit more of a jazz musician, was more improvisational on some levels, but I think Clapton more than held his own on those Live Cream and Live Cream Vol. 2 recordings. Their blinding aural power and musical force on those records is amazing. "Sleepy time, Time" on Vol. 1 is an amazing blues improvisation.
all that matters is the music ..If you like ti the infighting and politics doesn't mean a thing
I went to the first 2 shows at the garden. The 2nd night was better than the first. As far as playing gibson guitars I also would have loved to have seen that, but they have to play what they feel comfortable with. Why didn't ginger play ludwig drums? All in all it just went to fast.
Hate to be the reminder of bad news, but I think you have to remove the "perhaps" on the description since Jack has passed on.
looks like footage from the moon
@stonesharve see jack bruce with his own band if you haven't, they sound better than cream ever did
He;s 2 footed Ginger,see the high hat is going all the time,thats how it should be,2feet..
The only drawback to how they performed "NSU" at both the RAH and MSG: removing the D-A-C re-entry point after the improvisation makes for an awkward return to the song.
saw them in N.Y. THOUGHT THEY WERE GREAT
Clapton was crazy not to play Gibson-Marshall!
Absolutely ....It IS something i Will never understand! He could have done it
HAHA nice
NYC is what ruined everything for there reunion. They said in like interviews it felt like they were back in 1967 68 again. that they were just trying to get through there songs and not being true to the audience. Plus at one point jack turned his bass up to loud
i don't really care,they can do what they like or not..
agreed. Zeppelin was great, but they didn't have the virtuosity of Cream.
Clapton became more "slow" than "hand"..
Ginger's drums sound too clean and digital. Prefer the analog sound of skins and metal rims back in the day..
Terrible tired performance. Clapton sounds like he couldn't even be bothered. Awesome legendary band and a great song - but this is exactly why I didn't bother turning up for their reunion gigs
oh please man,these guys have been fussing and fighting for 50 yrs,its tired old news!!please!!i don't waste my energy on tired old shit..
Clapton failed on the solo. Not even close to the energy of the original.
