The fourth and final of Cream’s reunion concerts took place at the Royal Albert Hall on 6 May 2005. Like the previous three evenings, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce took their audience on an emotional journey through some of rock music’s greatest songs.
Here are some brief quotes from fans who were at the gig:
"I was lucky enough to see 2 nights shows with our boys, the opener on Monday, which was definitely a highly-emotion charged event, and the closer on Friday. Friday’s show was quite a bit tighter musically than Mondays, and had the ghost of "what if this IS the last time", hanging over it all night long. The audience seemed to savor every song more, and definitely wanted the lads to play out a bit more on each one so that they would never end." – Jaz Sinclair
"I have been priveledged to see many great concerts in my time…from The Beatles in 65….Cream in 67….Jack Bruce with Tony Williams in Lifetime and many more over the years, including Eric Clapton at every incarnation of his solo career. However, nothing I can remember could match the emotion, passion and intense joy of this show. The final night of the week lived up to expectations and beyond." – Stephen Taylor
"Just one word sums it up – awesome! Probably the best night of my life." – Ann Crick
The shows were filmed for a DVD release, expected later this year.
