Cream - Toad live at Royal Albert Hall, London.
May 2, 3, 5, 6. 1080p
18 of 22
In May of 2005 Cream returned to London's Royal Albert Hall-to the same stage where they had completed what was thought to be their final performance in 1968. It was one of the most eagerly anticipated, hard-to-get tickets in rock history. With the exception of a brief reunion set at their 1993 induction into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame, Cream had not played together in nearly four decades. This DVD documents Cream's momentous London shows. Performances from each of the four nights are featured and much more. Also included are alternate performances and interviews with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton. Cream formed in 1966 and disbanded in 1968. The band were a prolific and thrilling live act and toured incessantly in their short but remarkable history.

And that's why Clapton said "Ginger isn't a drummer, he's a musician". I smiled all the way through and nearly cried at the end. Same effect his playing had on me when I first heard Disreali Gears aged 11, 51 years ago and he never stopped getting better. A head case with immense dignity and pride, an absolute legend. Thanks Ginger.

I can't or wont say one is better than the other simply because it's two different genres. It's like saying that Ferrari is better than a Lamborghini. They are both automobiles but other than that they're not the same. Personal taste decides to an individual which is better for them.

This man is one of the greatest drummers of all time. His vocabulary and his style using jazz and African rhythms along with the fact that he was an orchestra and symphony on the drum kit is nothing short of amazing. I have always loved and respected Ginger's voice as a drummer and he was quoted saying "It's not how fast you play, it's what you say!" And he did just that in everything he played, this footage proves that in spades! Plus the guy revealed his younger self in this performance of "Toad" showing and giving a drum lesson and clinical study for ANY person who wants to play drums. Talk about inspirational and creative virtuosity! This wasn't just a drum solo! GINGER BAKER TOLD A STORY HERE! Rest In Peace Ginger, you will always be one of the best and most treasured drummers ever!

I was completely overwhelmed by the Funk, Soul, and Fire of this Pale White Boy Brit Band. That intro on "White Room" is soooo classic. And then, instead of screaming Rock Vocals, you have the smooth beautiful crooning of Jack Bruce. You'd think it would be out of character, but it always worked. I admire these three very much after all of these years. I wish Bruce and Baker had been able to get along better.

Ginger is why I wanted to play drums. He and Mitch Mitchell were huge influences on me in my early days of drumming. Ginger was so musical in his drumming he always had something to say. It wasn't about speed ever, timing and musicality were his trademarks to me. On his solo's it looked to be partly planned and partly ad lib, but it was always right. He always looked like he could play for hours on his solo's if needed. RIP Ginger and Mitch.

His mix of jazz and rock opened the minds and imagination of an entire generation of drummers that led to greats like Steve Smith, Jeff Procaro and so on. R.I.P Mr Baker.

Ginger Baker was a prime example of a drummer who used rudiments, accents and for the most part spontaneity to create his drum solos. They were all unique. I’ve seen him numerous times and he never failed to surprise me.

I saw Cream performing on two occasions, during my high school days (years, 1967 to 1969). I saw Cream performing at Fillmore Auditoreum in San Francisco, and also at Oakland Auditorium in Oakland, California. Both of these performances, in my opinion, are similar in greatness to the most majestic events that are recorded in The Bible, for example, the story of the creation of the world-as-we-know-it. What an amazing gift it was, to me, that my fate was to witness both of these concerts by Cream. I have also attended concerts led by other other greats in the field of jazz music, for example, performances with jazz artists, Sonny Stitt, Dexter Gordon, and with groups led by jazz drummers, "Max Roach," "Art Blakey," and "Albert Heath."

I always remember the performance of "Toad" found on the Wheels of Fire album, and thought it to be a great performance. But Ginger outdid himself on this performance. You'd think that after 40 years it would have become stale, but he knocked it out of the park. R.I.P. Mr. Baker, you were the best!

When I was a teenaged drummer I listened to Krupa and I got pretty good. Then I went into the Army for four years and when I got out, music had changed and there was Bonham and Baker. I never would get that good and quit playing. Well there's finally someone for John Bonham to talk to in heaven.

Bonham was a devotee of Krupa, even tuned his drums like him. I would say that more so than Baker, Bonham was actually playing jazz to heavy metal.

When I was a young guy in Boston in the late Sixties it was common for us stoned rocker kids to argue about who the greatest group was... but we never included the Beatles because they existed in a separate universe. We'd debate about who the greatest guitarist was... but we never included Hendrix because he was his own dimension. And when we verbally arm wrestled over who the greatest drummer was... you guessed it... we never EVER included Ginger Baker because he was an entirely unique entity functioning on a different plane. Functioning on a strata so much higher than everyone else... I'll tell you... and some of my fellow grey hairs will agree... though I know it sounds silly...this reunion DVD has actually made grown men cry. And I don't just mean me.

Extraordinario, simplemente extraordinario. La velocidad del solo permite apreciar la enorme técnica que tiene este baterista, con esa técnica podría estar haciendo un solo durante un mes sin derramar una gota de sudor. No hace falta mostrar la velocidad de la luz en un solo, sino la técnica, la creatividad, el sentimiento de una pieza, que en este caso llega a parecer una pieza melódica, una especie de canción. La velocidad no es la virtud mas grande de un músico o que lo diga David Gilmour en la guitarra. Es esto, la creatividad. Tuvo a todo ese público silencioso, escuchando, casi hipnotizado y reaccionando brevemente ante los momentos mas álgidos. Eso es ser un grande con su instrumento
