CREAM Dream Reunion–Royal Albert Hall in May
If the ad at www.royalalberthall.com and the 60’s-era poster displayed at www.jackbruce.com are accurate, then the greatest improvisational rock group of all time is getting back together. The reunion concerts are scheduled for May 2, May 3, May 5, and May 6. Last week I was playing the live “I’m So Glad” jam from the “Goodbye” album (that dates me– it was on a CD). The amount of energy Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker expend in that nine minute tune is extraordinary. Can they pull that off in as men in their mid-fifties? Jack Bruce is an amazingly talented performer and a thinking-man’s rock musician. His cellist training shows in his bass playing– and the atonal bass lines he tossed into the live “I’m So Glad” are still surprising 37 years after the group recorded it. My daughters’ generation knows Eric Clapton–he’s a trans-generational superstar. Bruce and Baker are obscure, which is a shame. Personal friction and exhaustion broke Cream up. I saw the group perform live twice, once in 1967 and again in late 1968. In performance they were a clash of wills, a collision of genius, and a symphonic wall of well-knit music. New York Philharmonic great Leonard Bernstein admired Cream. He liked Baker’s poly-rhythmic techniques and the contrapuntal ideas present in many of the group’s tunes. (Clapton’s showtune, “Crossroads,” is an example of this. Essentially, Clapton is playing lead guitar, Bruce lead bass, and Baker lead drums– that’s three leads weaving together. Tthe tune comes together as one very coherent and intense work.) I’ve said for three decades that the best Cream jams are truly rock fugues. Yesterday I heard from a friend of mine who says he’s going to see one of the reunion concerts in London and to heck with the cost. I’m envious. You bet I’ll buy the CD.
UPDATE: I was scanning www.Talkleft.com and read a post linked to Steve Winwood’s website that said Traffic’s drummer Jim Capaldi died on January 28. Capaldi had an elegant touch as a drummer. He was a fine musician. Like Cream, Traffic was a Sixties super-group closely followed by musicians– and I don’t mean just rock musicians. Traffic pioneered jazz-rock fusion. Steve Winwood –picking up where he left off in the Spencer Davis Group– usually played organ; Chris Wood played flute and sax. The “ultimate” British musicians supergroup would have had Steve Winwood linking up with Clapton, Bruce, and Baker, but after Cream’s break-up, there was too much personal poison. The supergroup Blind Faith featured Clapton, Winwood, and Baker, with Rick Grech adding a rather quotidian bass player/electric violin behind the big names. (Grech was no slouch, but –like Lloyd Bentsen telling Dan Quayle he was no Jack Kennedy– Grech was no Jack Bruce. No one in rock was or is Jack Bruce as a bass player, except Jack Bruce. ) I did catch Blind Faith’s one and only tour when the group came through Houston. To be fair, “Sea of Joy,” which featured Grech on violin, was memorable. Bruce was supposed to have been playing darts and nursing a case of anger in a pub named Slugs the night Blind Faith played its first gig. I read somewhere that Clapton once complained that Cream was always missing a “fourth” instrument. I wonder if Steve Windwood will attend the reunion concert?
UPDATE 2: Commenter Brad Lena says: “When listening back to live Cream recordings, an honest assessment would say some of it aged
exceedingly well and other? well it was the 60?s.” I agree if Brad means the live material from “Live Cream.” The live version of Baker’s “Toad” does get boring on “Wheels of Fire.” However, I think the live “I’m So Glad” from the “Goodbye” album and two live tracks from “Wheels of Fire,” “Spoonful” and “Crossroads,” hold up well over time. “The live “Spoonful” jam is a moving curtain of sound. The band put a hole in the universe the night they recorded it at the Fillmore East. The live jam that disappoints me –in part because the tune has so many interesting angles, from an player’s point of view– is “Deserted Cities of the Heart” (which is on the “Live Cream” album). The studio version of “Deserted Cities” is simply superb –as poignant and mysterious as “Tales of Brave Ulysses” from “Disreali Gears.” The knock on Cream by the rock critics of 1967 was that the band suffered from “bad material.” “Fresh Cream” is uneven– but “Disraeli Gears” is a near-perfect collection of tunes. Perhaps Felix Pappalardi deserves credit for getting the “Cream sound” in the studio. But Bruce, Baker, and Clapton got the sound in concert. The only other player of the Sixties operating at their level of creative energy was Jimi Hendrix.
UPDATE 3: Reply to commenter Stuart: I saw that same show (in the old Houston Music Hall) with Cream and Vanilla Fudge on the bill. Bruce’s “Traintime” in the Music Hall –a relatively small venue– was overpowering. My grandfather had taught me how to play the harmonica and I could do a passable harmonica version of “The Yellow Rose of Texas” and I had experimented with blues harmonica licks. I had some good musical models: I’d heard recordings of the Muddy Waters band. I’d heard “Cats Squirrel” from the “Fresh Cream” album. I had a couple of John Mayall albums (including the one with Clapton)– so I had some familiarity with good blues harp players. However, “Traintime” –with Bruce’s long harmonica lead backed by Baker’s insistent Santa Fe Superchief drum work– introduced me to another dimension in harmonica playing. I did learn to play “Traintime”– sort of.
UPDATE 4 to JRK: Thanks for the great comment and, yes, we respect your opinions– however, I disagree with your put-down on Traffic. Winwood came out of Spencer Davis as “the talent to watch” and he went into Traffic with large expectations from Spencer Davis fans (like me). I saw Spirit perform twice– haven’t forgotten them at all. I have to add this: I learned the piano licks to “Fresh Garbage” and put together a piano version of “Uncle Jack” (which, I admit, lacked a lot but slamming those power chords was fun). Loved Spirit. No, I didn’t forget Dave Mason — “Feeling All Right” is a standard I still play, or at least fiddle with. Beck’s “Truth” album was seminal, but I think the group that ripped it off was Led Zeppelin. The second Jeff Beck Group album (”Beck-ola”–the one with the big green apple on the front) is also a classic. Here’s the difference between Beck with Rod Stewart and Cream — having Rod Stewart means your group puts a premium on rock as dramatic performance. Beck is an extraordinary musical talent, his work with The Yardbirds proved that (I should add “Train kept a rollin’” to my rock harp influence list), but Stewart is a rock performer. Cream was (will be again?) rock as music. Debate the nuance, but this is a distinction with a difference. The Allman Brothers were superb in concert as well and D. Betts and D. Allman’s improvisational excursions are beautiful and brilliant.”In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” moves and keeps moving–heck, it’s elegant. (I caught the Allman Brothers in Dallas, right after Duane was killed. I also caught Derek and the Domnoes, in 1971 I think? Great guitar show.) However: your analysis cheats Cream and the group’s achievement. Are there cross influences? Of course. Again– I appreciate your comment.
UPDATE 5: JRK is guilty of revisionism –or age. But so it goes with rock critics. “Truth” came out in 1968. See this post with a Beck group discography. “Fresh Cream” dates from December 1966. See this link to information on the original Polydor release.
Cream Reunion? Play the U.S. -then I can die.

When listening back to live Cream recordings, an honest assessment would say some of it aged exceedingly well and other… well it was the 60’s. Their studio work on the other hand was remarkably well executed and thoughtful. One suspects Jack Bruce had a lot to do with that. In any case, jazz fusion which came into being in the early 70’s, had the path well marked by these trail blazers. It will be interesting to see if the spark is still there, I suspect it is. I wish them the best and look forward to the recorded music that will follow.
Comment by Brad Lena — 1/30/2005 @ 6:45 pm
I saw their show in Houston when they played with vanilla fudge. They were amazing and I did not (at the time) understand how they could do it. The Slugs Story may be true too, I was a bartender at DAMIEN’S, the rival hippie bar at the time, and seem to remember something like that being said. I don’t know if Clapton has it in him to really put on a show now though. Would be fantastic to see them all the same.
Comment by stuart — 1/30/2005 @ 7:06 pm
Well….nice piece, though some fuzzy memories and analysis. (Sorry…as a former rock critic in the day, I couldn’t help myself.) A number of things to consider: by the time Traffic became your pioneering–and rather awful– jazz-fusion group, Spirit (as well as Zappa) had at least 3 albums in that particular vein already released. In fact, Spirit’s drummer was indeed the first rock group with an actual old-school (and quite old) jazz drummer and the keyboardist was also primarily trained in jazz. It’s guitarist, Randy California was a teen protege of Hendrix, playing with him at the Cafe Wha? in NYC before Hendrix moved to England to record with Chas Chandler. (Quick…name the Spirit song lifted by its great admirer, Jimmy Page, for ‘Stairway to Heaven?’ And yes, in the spirit, ahem, of the time, Jimmy asked permission first.) Traffic was not really a supergroup, rather a conventionally formed combo centering on Dave Mason (you forgot?) as its principal songwriter–and not originally a jam group at all. “Feeling All Right,” and most songs on first two albums were primarily Mason.Good old fashioned Brit rock of the era. It’s when he left for a successful solo career that Traffic floundered into the already deadly graveyard of the ‘fusion group’–borrowing liberally from established jam bands, though without the cojones of Miles Davis’ ‘Bitches Brew,’ or the jam-rock mastery of the Allman Brothers–or even the rather self indulgent Cream post-Disreali Gears (when Clapton began to emulate Duane and Greg’s group.) FYI, Dave Mason played most famously on the greatest Hendrix song as co-guitarist: “All Along the Watchtower.” (The unforgettably tasty acoustic bits.) Clapton–since we’re talking about Cream–played on Mason’s hit album (which did better in sales/critical estimate) than any contemporaneous Traffic album with its new lineup–minus a good guitar player. (Listen to Clapton and Mason trade leads on the incredible “Look at You…” from the 1970 ‘Alone Together.’) Interestingly, Mason, Clapton, George Harrison, Leon Russell, Duane Allman et al actually DID form one of the first supergroups, Delaney and Bonnie (On Tour) in 1970…playing some Mason tunes, too. Meanwhile, of course, poor old Traffic was noodling around with extended jams featuring flutes, etc. Ugh. No guitar, ‘cept when Stevie would climb from behind his keyboards to give it a try. Bonnie and Delaney, of course, did quickly mutate into a real super group, Derek and the Dominos. As a musician and critic at the time, having seen both Traffic and Cream many times, I’d say that they were at their worst, IMO, when they ran out of ideas and began endless and pointless jamming after earlier, more successful conventional albums. ‘Course, I must agree that Bruce was amazing. Clapton never had the chops or ideas–sorry–of his betters: Beck, Page and Hendrix. (Hendrix biographer and manager of his catalog, John McDermott, writes of Jimi’s only request to Chas Chandler before leaving the US to fly over to London and record ‘Are You Experienced:’–’Can you introduce me to Jeff Beck? He’s the greatest guitar player in the world.’ Beck might have, by your loose definition, the real first supergroup: in 1966 he had the young soccer hooligan Rod Stewart on lead vocals and Ronnie Wood (of Faces and Rolling Stones) on bass! Recorded the seminal hard rock–pre-Cream–album ‘Truth.’ Virtually inventing the genre of insane, heavy, lead guitar playing. (BTW, I was one of less than 400– during the famous blizzard that hit upstate NY–to dig myself out to see Derek and the Dominos first gig ever at Manley Field House (Syracuse University.) The opening act was playing HIS first gig in the US as well, as a trio….Elton John.

Wow! I just had flashbacks to my days at TAMU listening to much of what was described here. JRK must have historic notes, because his memory can’t be that good for what must be someone at least in his upper 50’s. Or maybe mine is just poor. Speaking of All Along the Watchtower, I seem to recall a version by Brewer & Shipley around ‘71 that would now be labeled an “unplugged” version of the song, and which I thought was excellent.
Comment by sammy small — 1/30/2005 @ 8:41 pm
Given the funds and free time, I would go to all four concerts. I wouldn’t expect a “Cream” concert. It will be three musicians with nothing to prove blowing away hundreds of pretenders of the last four decades. They will be making music, not cranking out a string of ancient “hits.” I hope Jack Bruce does all the singing.
Comment by Alex — 1/30/2005 @ 8:58 pm
JRK does remember well but I have to disagree on two points: Clapton had a totally different approach to guitar and still does; he had a Chicago soul style while Beck clearly (despite his early insanity) had and has a more sophisticated approach. Hendrix was a genius and cannot be compared to any of them. I am 90% positive that Beck recorded Truth quite some time after Fresh Cream was recorded.
Comment by Stuart — 1/30/2005 @ 9:11 pm
Ah yesteryear! It’s good remembering all the groovy times from that era. I have “Best of Cream” in my rotating playlist and it always takes me back. Especially Crossroads which I had set up on the 8 track I had installed on my Huey in Vietnam.
Comment by Wallace-Midland, Texas — 1/30/2005 @ 9:33 pm
John Entwistle was in a league above Bruce,but it’s hairsplitting when discussing two Olympian axemen.The Ox could do more,and was a true pioneer of the lead bass sound.Listen to Live Cream, then Live At Leeds, and tell me who carries the band.
Comment by carlton the doorman — 1/30/2005 @ 9:42 pm
The live “Crossroads” is just about the most thrilling jam in rock music. That said, if you listen closely to the end of the second guitar break and the beginning of the last verse, you can hear a rather jarring cut in the recording, indicating it was probably a longer, and possibly more boring, jam. Odd that the “extended version” has never shown up on FM radio. Maybe Felix Pappalardi was smart or prescient enough to destroy the master.
Comment by Jeff Cook — 1/30/2005 @ 11:38 pm
I remember the summer of ‘67 when the Yardbirds toured the US; they played in my hometown of Detroit Lakes MN at the famed Pavilion. This was in August I believe, towards the end of their tour; singer Keith Relf was suffering from laryngitis and was unable to sing most of their hits, I think maybe he was able to croak his way through ‘I’m A Man’; this version of the Yardbirds had Jeff Beck on guitar, and (then, in the US at least) the unknown Jimmy Page on bass. Since they did not play many hits, they substituted with many jam duels between Beck and Page. One of my buddies who was in a local garage band which opened up for them; he and his bandmates were helping the Yardbirds unload their equipment at the Fargo ND airport prior to the gig. After unloading and checking everything, they were invited up to the Yardbirds’ hotel room to hoist a few with the boys. They were all watching TV and the Troggs came on Ed Sullivan and played the new big hit ‘Wild Thing’- my buddy remembers Beck and Page laughing like crazy, the upshot being these no-talent upstarts were on national TV.

Well it has finally happened!! Me and my brother saw Cream in NYC right after Disraeli Gears came out , maybe was 1969 , not sure. It was a great show , they played an amazing set starting with Tales of Brave Ulysses and went on to play some awesome tracks , truly a once in a lifetime experience….please come to the US guys!!!

Truth came out After Fresh Creme… Mention should be made of Blind Faith, which borught Clapton and Winwood together. I saw them live in Madison, WI, Winwood playing guitar on Had To Cry Today…

You say: “The only other player of the Sixties operating at their (Cream’s) level of creative energy was Jimi Hendrix”…”Live at Leeds” was recorded on Feb. 14, 1970. That puts it beyond the 60s, technically speaking, but The Who tuned up for that performance by touring the States in the months before—and of course, The Who had been performing together continously about 5 years before “Leeds” was recorded. The “level of creative energy” and ensemble playing on “Leeds” is simply phenomenal. Also, I thought of The Who when you described Cream as sometimes performing as three lead instruments. As a guitarist, I always focused on Townshend’s parts…but go back and listen to any track of “Leeds”—Moon’s and Entwhistle’s parts are equally astounding as energetic “lead” work and improvisation, all within an incredibly tight and coherent framework. “Leeds” is my favorite live recording, ever. And I say this as a huge fan of Cream (since the 60s!).
Comment by Michael — 1/31/2005 @ 1:10 pm
Your remark about three musicians in their mid-fifties made me laugh. I’m 55. Clapton turns 60 this year. Bruce turns 61. And Baker turns 66. They’re geezers, but I’m sure the concerts will be electrifying. Wish I could afford to go. Can’t wait for the CD.
Comment by Dennis — 1/31/2005 @ 2:43 pm
What a great thread…sorry to get back to it so late (and probably uselessly…and yes, all of it is based on memory, so the inevitable corrections follow.) Fresh came out on Dec 21, 1966 in England, later in the US. Jeff was also releasing in 66 and 67 on singles with his JB band and others (have the singles) but wasn’t fully released in US until just over a year after Fresh–due to the intransigence of his manager/producer, the imperious Micky Most. By the time both Clapton and Beck were fully released in the US, there wasn’t much of an overlap at all. Beck was all pyrotechnical nuttiness and brillance, Clapton fitted more in the band sensibility–supporting the song (and Bruce) rather than rewriting the song like Beck. ‘Cept of course, for the Micky Most demand for the acoustic Greensleeves….recorded in ‘66/67. (BTW, Page and Keith Moon both appear to good effect on Truth.) Anyway, we guitar players all knew the difference…as, of course, did Jimi…perhaps Jeff’s biggest fan. The second beck (O’la…more insanity) trumps, in a sick way, Disraeli Gears, and to this day neither Beck album sounds nearly as dated as the first two Creams…alas. But the whole argument surrounded the idea of a supergroup, which presupposes the individual stardom of the players prior to the formation of the new band. Blind Faith is an awful example of that, so to my ears is most of the CSN catalog. I stand by my Mason, Clapton, George Harrison, Duane Allman, Bonnie and Delaney fronted band as a great example of that genre…with Cream not at all (Bruce and Baker then unknowns) a supergroup. Those who call any of these, save say, the Allmans, a jam band or jazz-fusion, forget that Miles was already in that territory–as, in another sense, was Zappa. Stanley Clarke’s first two albums, Chick and Stanley’s Return to Forever, then Weather Report–and of course, Jeff’s own early foray into that territory (Clarke’s Hello Jeff a jazz tribute to the man) with Beatles producer George Martin (instrumental albums Blow By Blow and Wired exemplary of the form. George Martin thought Jeff so important that following the breakup of the Beatles, his attention immediately turned to JB. Listen to them, then to Cream’s albums…judge for yourself. There’s material, as Guns and Roses guitarist Slash always points out in Git mags, of JB that sounds absolutely fresh to this day…in fact, may still be too sick, brilliant and cutting edge for our times. BTW, as one commentator noted, Entwhistle was awesome. Cream was an exciting group, but to my mind the earlier the album the better the playing. When Bruce and Baker were true equal partners and they had some respect for the tunes…cutting loose wasn’t their bag. Actually, Clapton–despite the buzz–wasn’t nearly the player of his second, Albert Lee. When Clapton was in his druggie phase (a good five plus years) Albert would play the leads and cover for Clapton on tour. Also, Best Spirit gig…El Monte Legion Stadium as headliners, Zappa as second (memorialized in Zappa’s Ruben and the Jets and Live at the Fillmore.) Spirit got screwed…missed Woodstock due to managment dispute. An awesome live band in an era when few could really play stage shows. Woodstock album was, notoriously, re-recorded by ahem, certain bands who couldn’t hack it live. CSN especially horrendous and off-key. Management (David Geffen) demanded that they get a complete ‘re-do’ in the studio.

37 years is a long time….I wonder if the fires still burn? You also got to think about a couple of other things,the sound systems of today vs. 1968 technologies,those guys were always battling to see who could be heard above the others. Ginger Baker was stuffed in between Marshall stacks just trying to be heard and only a crappy monitor system to work with…ahhh Those Were the Days. And really think about this….where were their heads at.Sure makes for trippy jams. All-time favorites 1.CREAM 2.JAMES GANG 3.LYNYRD SKYNYRD 4.BOB SEGER 5.ALLMAN BROS. Thats my take on the situation….Any comments? P.S. Please Please Please Let their be Pay per View for those who can’t make the pilgrimage

Coment #16 said: “I stand by my Mason, Clapton, George Harrison, Duane Allman, Bonnie and Delaney fronted band as a great example of that genre…with Cream not at all (Bruce and Baker then unknowns) a supergroup.” Bruce and Baker were very well known long before the likes of Allman, Delanie and Bonnie. The Alexis Korner, Graham Bond and John Mayall groups were well known and recorded in Europe. I believe you must be one of the few people in the world that think that Cream was not a supergroup while the others you mention were. As far as the reunion concerts, don’t be surprised if they play a good bit of new material. Clapton has said several times over the years that he would only do it if there was going to be new material. I’m also sure that the health and wealth of Baker is important in his thinking. Bruce is not rich, but he does OK. But Baker has had many problems for a long time.

Austin, while we may differ on politics our tastes in music run hand in hand. Your observations of Cream are excellent and display the knowledge of a serious and “true” admirer. One slight correction if if I may…the “Wheels of Fire” live version of “Spoonful” wasn’t recorded at the Fillmore. While true the live disc included in “Wheels of Fire” proclaims “Live at the Fillmore West”, in actual fact all of the tracks save for Baker’s “Toad” were recorded at Bill Graham’s larger San Francisco venue Winterland. “Crossroads”, “Traintime” and “Spoonful” are all Winterland performances. Why the album proclaims it as it does is anybody’s guess. At any rate, I’m a lifetime Cream fan who is keeping his fingers crossed that this whole affair comes off splendidly. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some concerns. Jack Bruce was seriously ill and almost died a couple of years ago and Baker is…well…65 years old. Needless to say I have a hard time imagining Baker thrashing the drums with the same intensity he did back in 1968. Indeed, that’s where all the concerns crop up…if they aren’t capable of catching lightning in a bottle as they did over 35 years ago then this whole affair might well come off as a disappointment. Let’s hope they’re up to it. If Bruce is fit they should be fine. I saw Jack with his latest band as recently as December 2001 in Chicago and he was brilliant. Brought the house down!

…Yes, Cream is a supergroup! No doubt! I am a 51 year old Africa American male with wde range and ecletic taste in music, that simply loves Hendrix, Clapton and Page. As a Bass player I rated Bruce as #1 against all takers (Miles loved his playing, though lately his style has altered and (perhaps not surprisingly) mellowed. Saw him two years ago with his musical ontmeporaries at Atlantic City, NJ. Certainly proved that the fire is still there. I wish I could say the same for the great Eric Clapton -in terms of the fire. His mellowing came much sooner, but being the great artist that he is, what ever he has done turns to gold whether we Cream lovers appreciated it or not. Baker? He seems to always get the short end of the stick in terms of his genius, but I dare say that this reality is created by the usual culprit…Jealousy!! The three were great artist, and continue to be so. Since truning to more lead guitar work in my middle age, I appreciate their gifts and had no doubt as to Cream’s ability to represent in this long awaited reunion. I just wish it happened even 20 years sooner. Meanwhile, Hendrix…class by himself!
