Cream was at its best live - and it's such a pity that live recording was just emerging from its infancy when these tracks were caught. But even through the murk of my cheap stereo speakers back when I first placed this bit of vinyl on my turntable back in '71, I was astonished. If you are a musician or an instrumentalist, it's hard not to let your jaw drop at the effortless way these three men played together. While every music critic likes to prattle on about the live version of "Crossroads" epitomizing Cream, it's easy to make a case that "Sleepy Time Time" surpasses the old Robert Johnson tune in terms of a performance. Clapton's notes sometimes wait until the last possible moment to sound making you sit on the edge of your seat, his Firebird sounding full and crisp. Jack Bruce plays brilliant counterpoint, when he's not actually taking the lead on passages. And there's Ginger Banker, at times restrained and at times a mad man - but always on point. When I heard that this set had been remasterd for digital audio, I knew I had to have a copy.

This is pretty good. I actually would prefer this over most Cream things just because it's real. No studio BS just real playing. Don't compare to current clapton. This is the clapton with FIRE, not this pop, weak guitar solo from the post drug years. This and Derek and the Dominoes Live are pretty awesome and fiery things. This is a whole band, not just the clapton and backup band junk with an occasional pop song thrown in to sell records. This is music. You can listen again and again and again.

N.S.U., which opens the CD, is one of the best openings for any song. The solo drums sets a frantic pace that gets even more frenetic as the song progresses. One of the things I've always loved about Cream is the way they EXPLODE into their jams. Sonically, it is like a dam bursting. There is enough guitar instruction on this CD to keep one occupied for months.

Me & Mr. Bruce & Mr. Baker
Apparently, "God" is not all-powerful and omnipotent. He needed a rhythm section like Bruce & Baker to light a fire under His feet to keep Him from creating pure dreck (which... Read more

This album was released after Cream broke up. It is an amazing collection of 4 live tunes ranging from 6 to 15 minutes long. This is power trio jamming at its best. Read more
