In my life, I have watched bands from the 60's through today. There is none that could approach Cream. 3 great musicians - no glam, no wild makeup, no acrobatics, no explosions, only the music. And of course today, there is nothing that exists anywhere to compare..

These guys were not named Cream by chance. At the time Clapton was the best lead guitarist,Jack Bruce was easily the best bass player and as for Baker he was simply awesome .... the cream always rose to the top. Magic memories for me and my old band as we always played 3 pieces in our set.

I cannot explain adequately how a person my age experiences the loss of these musical artists as all of us are aging. Jeff Beck, GingerBaker, JackBruce, John Mayal, Charlie Watts, well, just so many.

This is Eric at his very best. I don't agree with people saying he peaked with Cream. His best was '94 to '05, at least skill wise, he certainly had that fire in his younger days

I will always say this. Spoonful brought the most out of this band. They used to do 20 minute versions of this song which were beautiful. But even in this 7 minute version, they were able to fit so much. The greatest of the greatest!

[@BoneyWhy]

I started playing drums at about 5, taking lessons from the drummer in my father's orchestra back in 1956. At about age 9, I was playing in that orchestra. However, it was mostly what they called "standards", some jazz (Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, etc.) Then, the sixties! I first heard Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds (naturally.) But when Cream exploded onto the scene, it was literally life-changing! There had been nothing like it! They were bigger than life, winning all the Jazz polls, etc. They truly invented and embodied the name "Supergroup" and still did even up to this point, shortly before the great Jack Bruce died and then Ginger Baker. This was a great, great concert!

[@louisef.9137]

Cool funky version of Spoonful...excellent!

We're so lucky this was recorded.

[@JohnnyNowhere]

I was 11 and I would listen to my sister's 45s when she was gone. I always played the B sides, because I'd never heard the songs on the radio. These guy's B sides were the best in the history of music. I didn't even know who they were. Here I am, 52 years later, still getting blown away by the mastery of these legends. Glad they did it one more time.

[@photographerjonathan]

it's so nice to see an audience just sitting down and listening, it always pissed me off that you could be in the 20th row on the floor and not get to see anything because everyone would stand up and not sit for the entire show, and one time when I was 16, I saw Kiss and everyone first stood up, so you couldn't see anything, and then everyone stood on there seats so they could see, but then even the front was on there seats, and you could barely see anything again, so I ended up standing on my seat for an entire show with people taller than me in front of me like a brick wall, and what really gets me is how many concerts where the star on stage asks the audience to stand up, like they couldn't be enjoying the show if they are sitting down, but when i watch this amazing reunion from 2005 i think wow, what a lucky audience to see this rare show, and to actually be able to see it from any seat in the house, what a concept

[@juliegibbs4652]

no one is hooting and hollering either, you can actually HEAR the music. i hAve been to a couple of concerts that I could not hear because the folks next to me where whooping in excitement.

This came together like they played set yesterday. Maybe because they are hands down 3 of best ever to play. Maybe because it's engrained in their souls.
