It took a little while to get used to how the members looked as seniors, and then I was more focused on the audio. The musicianship, including vocals, is excellent. I've watched this DVD many times and I believe I like it a little more each time. Even "Pressed Rat and Warthog". By the way, they've reopened their shop. If Royal Albert Hall didn't have seats behind the stage, so that more of the top flight staging methods and lighting could have been used, I would have rated the DVD as Excellent, rather than Good. I have a few other music performance DVD's that are a little more interesing to watch, Like Paul McCartney, "The Space Within Us" and Sheryl Crow, "Wildflower Tour, Live from New York" and "Sheryl Crow Live, Sound Stage". This two DVD set is as good as anything Sting has out. I can recommend it without hesitation, especially if you are a fan of Cream or Blind Faith. Even the drum solo is quite good. Ginger Baker has always been amazing. The extras, which consist of a couple of alternate versions of songs (the perfomances were recorded over several nights in May of 2005), and interviews wiv aw free (with all 3) members...individually, are interesting and add value. Eric mentioned in the interview that he'd like to do some Cream shows in the States. Please do, sirs.Read full review
Missed the Cream concerts back in the day, but now, here... they're better than I imagined. They even admitted "never sounding better". Replayed several times. Ginger Baker was surprisingly good. He'd play playing all these crazy drum riffs but his high hat maintained a constant tempo. I thought it was machine driven until they cut to his foot tapping the peddle. Clapton cut some great solos which I was hoping for and Bruce was the perfect 3rd . After the 2nd play thru I realized "these guys are the ultimate jamming band" and started listening to each guy individually. That's when I realized how great they really were, individually and together.

this two disc set has many tunes on it the Farewell one did not including some of the same ones just on disc one Stormy Monday (one of 14 on it) itself is worth getting this plus this set was bought to complete the Cream although I have heard they have a reunion concert out but cannot commemt on it except to say some people say that concert and this one are almost identical,good graphics here too IF you like this genre of music you will love this alternate takes and all on both discs and yes interviews too I personally play this whenever I get the chance to just hear them play,again as a former musician who played Eric Clapton a lot I never tire of hearing it/them in case no one knows Clapton is a Blues guitarist that from the Yardbirds to present does and can play many styles all his ownRead full review

I wish I could see them play... The only problem with seeing them live is you would have to re-mortgage your house (LOL) this is the next best thing. What did I like about it...hey it's CREAM whats not to like, Eric Clapton...plays like he is still in his 20's...They made me feel like they were playing in my living room, the sound is great. The only down side...you can tell the boys are getting older...but I guess that is the reality of it, so that being the only downside this is a must have for a true CREAM fan, here they are kickin it one more time and sounding great.
