Pretty amazing as, apart from a rehearsal the day before, they hadn't played together for twenty-five years! Just magic! So glad we have these precious moments preserved. Miss you, Mr Bruce! Your life and joy are still with us. Rest in peace after a full life of giving.

[@CryssLuvsMuzik]

Well said!

[@tablaturebutler2823]

+Kerrie Redgate Precious moments? Baker and Bruce are soaking up the very last attention they will ever get as musicians on a big stage and Clapton (filling stadiums at this time as a solo act) looks like he's only there to pay off a debt - or because his manager told him he had to. These guys were a flash in the pan - a HUGE flash, admittedly, but they didn't really gel in the customary sense of what makes a band. There's a reason - lots of them, actually - they split up so soon, and never got together afterward - they basically couldn't stand one another...

[@KerrieRedgate]

+Tablature Butler Ginger is still playing live , despite his back problems. He's in his 70s. 25 years between playing together as a unit: I'd like to see you try, honestly. One rehearsal the day before: very few bands could make that work (believe me, I know!), and at their ages! I guess you weren't there in the '60s. Hearing these guys again is magic for those of us who remember the impact this stuff had on us back then. There was nothing like it. Cream was hardly a flash in the pan! It's called Legacy.

[@tablaturebutler2823]

Kerrie Redgate Sorry if I harshed your mellow - I was in fact there when the flash was blinding - saw them at Winterland. Loved them then and their old tunes now. However, their mutual antipathy is the stuff of legend and that too is integral to their legacy. That they could still play their hits isn't surprising in the least - they didn't play off one another - then or in this video - they played as three separate musicians playing the same song at once - and God knows they've been playing them for those 25 intervening years. After their inevitable splintering, they went separate musical ways - and Clapton intentionally sought out more collaborative partners he could relate to on a personal level as a palate cleanser - the Cream experience was actually very bitter and traumatic for him. If you want to be swept away by rosy nostalgia, that's your business - I just look at things through a different lens, I suppose...

[@jrinthe8187]

+Tablature Butler A very different lense. If you know the histroy of the band so well then you must understand that they were not boyhood friends like the Beatles and Stones were. Each was established as a true expert at their instruments. Naturally ego goes with that. As far as a flash in the pan, that is just pure ignorance. You do recall that Wheels of Fire was the FIRST platinum album. Hardly the creation by a flash in the pan band.

Yep 100% agree. After say 1973 its like he didnt really have anything worthwhile left to say musically. Makes me wonder if Hendrix would have gone the same way. The songwriting, performance & output of a really talented group is almost always better than that of solo artist. For no other reason than its exceedingly rare for an individual to be a master of songwriting, composition, performance and production. They are all unique disciplines IMO. Claptons strength is defintely performance composition is fairly good, but his songwriting is his big downfall. As it is with many, many very talented guitarists. He was really really helped by Jack and Ginger being equals in the room with him.
