Storyline:

Cream Royal Albert Hall, London May 2 3 5 6 2005 2005 After a 37 year absence Cream reformed in May 2005 for a series of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, the stage of their last UK performance As befitting a trio whose focus was always squarely on the music, they emerge to no fanfare, briefly test their instruments and launch into the perfectly apt Im So Glad Drawing from each of their four studio albums, they revisit the songs for their inherent resonance and as a springboard for their instrumental interplay Theres no need to update the material, as it all still fits each of the three men like a thousand dollar suit Bruces vocals still soar with operatic bearing, Clapton sounds energized, freed from the production cushioning on his own recordings, and Baker, now in his mid sixties, can still dazzle with his solo turn on Toad
