Movie Reviews of Cream: Classic Artists
Movie Review: A comprehensive history of the greatest band of the late 60's!
Summary: 5 Stars
So many bands have come along since the late 60's that people tend to forget about Cream, it seems. Jimi Hendrix set the guitar world on its ear, Eric Clapton has enjoyed a hugely successful solo career, and drum legends John Bonham, Keith Moon, and especially Neil Peart constitute the trilogy of worshipped drummers among drummers. John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, Geddy Lee, and more recently Flea and Les Claypool are the bass gods. AHEM...before all those guys (except Clapton, of course), there was CREAM...and they were indeed the cream of the crop! Sadly, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce's individual legacies have not withstood the subsequent emergences of the aforementioned greats, at least to the degree they should have. Clapton's own career has kept his own legacy alive and well respected, but in the late 60's these three guys were IT. Picture in your mind Slash, Les Claypool and Neil Peart joining forces in a new band--whoa! Well, that's how it was when Baker, Bruce and Clapton formed Cream in 1968...
If you go back and listen to Cream's live recordings, the intensity and musicianship of each of the three members still stands up to any blues rock act out there, and together as a band...they STILL can't be touched! This DVD shows how it all happened, and it's very complete...no glaring omissions of facts that I noticed. This DVD would both be a great lesson in the history of rock and also a way of allowing you to appreciate the greatest band of the late 60's! It's no secret that Cream were the pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal...but that's just one of their many influences on rock music...their music itself is also something to enjoy for ages to come!!
Each of the three members were interviewed specifically for this DVD, and they spill the beans entirely...especially Ginger Baker, who STILL seems to be irritated with Jack Bruce...some of his comments are hilarious!
Summary of Cream: Classic Artists
Their fully-authorized story in a 2-disc deluxe set! The beginning, the farewell, the reunion. Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce tell how it was... and how it is. Cream, the world's first "supergroup," stunned the pop world when it burst on the Swinging '60s. Produced with full cooperation from the band, this fascinating documentary tells their full amazing story. Exclusive new interviews reveal how success affected them and how they created the smash hits "I Feel Free," "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room." See highlights of their career: Cream's birth in 1966, the sudden break-up in 1968, and an historic reunion in 2005 with sold-out concerts in London and New York which rekindled the public's fascination with this all-star trio. Together with interviews with key music industry figures, here is the best, most informative insight into a cultural phenomenon that shaped the future of rock.Disc 1 includes unreleased archive footage, new interviews with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce and others, plus music, performance footage, rare and unseen photographs and memorabilia!
Disc 2 (audio) includes Swedish Radio sessions ("Konsert med Cream," 1967) and 5 previously unreleased audio tracks: "NSU," "Steppin' Out," "Traintime," "Toad" and "I'm So Glad."
