Worth it!

A good quality DVD made from poor quality data; but hey! that's the best they could do in the late 60's.
Albert Hall was not a good rock venue and the guy interviewing the band tries real hard but just doesnt get it. It's a must-own for the entertainment value, seeing Baker, Bruce and Clapton in their 20's and an insight into live music in the 60's.

once upon a time

When I saw this DVD saying Cream Farewell concert I knew I had to have it
as a guitarist/musician over the years my band when still active
played a lot of Cream tunes,that said what I liked about this disc
yes it is one disc were the eight better known songs on it as well
as the interviews with all three band members much of which is not common
knowledge.this was a precursor of buying the other concert in the same
hall in May 2005 which I have and have submitted my review on
dislikes!
the image quality could have been better although it could just be
my DVD player
other than that little miscue this 127 mintute disc is totally enjoyable
with all the behind the scenes knowledge it provides
bought to fill in their set i.e. other May concert

Great Title for this show!!!!

There is no better depctition (and experience) on DVD Musically, translated by our new technologically great audio transference from 8mm or whatever they used in those days to a DVD!!!!! The show brings to life what it was like to be at a concert in 1968 and keeps you there. No props, computer generated tricks (like McCartney's live - "Live and Let Die" - !!!) - sorry Paul. The atmosphere was also on the money as the crowd was very well behaved (and a lot "high" and tranquil). There is no better show out there that depicts seeing, being a part of, and getting into a live event for $5 over a 3 hour period of time. Of course, the producers of this show only showed us the best third of the full 3 hour show, but they too "nailed it" with the songs chosen!!! I recommend for any music lover, any blues lover, any Clapton Lover. John Possumato

last show for a good time (37 years)

I always enyoy reading reviews of this bands live work. Idiot music critics and the like take potshots at a form of sonic conversation that only intelligent and open minded people can understand. If you really want to know an educated opinion of this music, ask someone who plays a guitar, bass or drums what they think. (jimi hendrix loved cream, and would bring his band to hear them) I have showed this concert to friends who simply did not understand it, and others(mostly musicians like myself) who told me it was the most powerful musical experience they had ever encountered. So keep an open mind and except the performance for what it is, three brilliant trailblazers of an important and rare form of art.
peace

Cream Farewell Concert

This is a cool DVD.The only drag is that these directors back in the 1960's didn't have a clue,as to what would keep there film from being dated.This fool used that pychodelic in/out trip panning,and never showed Clapton play a lead solo.Every thing was on Jack Bruce,only head shots of E.C. But he music is GREAT I whish there were more of these type films that you could buy,Like Jimi,and the Stones, Jeff Beck,ect.
