Cream reunion Royal Albert Hall, London

The Guardian ^ | 5/3/05 | Alexis Petridis

[Valin]

I'll have a double Geritol...straight up with a twist

[fatnotlazy]

What were the ticket prices? That may have some bearing on how many "youngsters" attended?

However, I've known some oldies like the Stones who attract you and old alike -- at thousands of dollars a ticket.

[Mr. Mojo]

I hope Clapton dusted off his old Gibsons for the occasion.

Strats and Cream just don't mix.

[1066AD]

This guy hasn't a clue, must be a twenty-something.

[tx_eggman]

Saw 'em in Dallas, '68 (or was it '69 ... a bit a fog over that era in my life).

Have any of you seen my Metamucil ??

[massgopguy]

HOW is Ginger Baker still alive?

[dead]

Did they have a bubble machine for the dance floor?

[itsamelman]

Rock and Roll PING! email Weegee to get on/off this list.

[True-Stu]

Hey, I've got the best of Cream CD playing in my car right now...and...."I'm so Glad, I'm so Glad, I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad....."

[Red Badger]

Did they have a bubble machine for the dance floor?

That was DISCO......Ten Years After........(That was a good group, too).....

[the invisib1e hand]

screw the snot nose liberal brats at the guardian, vicariously snubbing their parents like this.

[Valin]

I don't know, but if you could bottle it you've make a fortune!
Ditto Kieth Richards.

[muggs]

I'm listening to Blues Power right now but not from my car. Are you freeping from your car?

[Terabitten]

I hope Clapton dusted off his old Gibsons for the occasion.

No kiddin'. Didn't somebody steal "The Fool" SG? Either way, there's no shortage of "The Fool" copies out there... some very, very accurate.

[Lando Lincoln]

If you can remember the 60's you weren't "there".

Over on the Fender Fourm, one of the members went to the show and posted pics. He was playing a Strat in them.

[Brian Allen]

<< HOW is Ginger Baker still alive? >>

He lives in Colorado and breeds horses.

Met him a few times when with EC in Denver during the 90s and he was as fit as a fiddle -- although a "bit blur like a sotong," [Cuttlefish] as the singaporeans say.

But a real beaut bloke, too!

[scott says]

I go see Eric on every tour, last year he was great.Still awesome after all these years!

[Rick Deckard]

I got to see short-lived Blind Faith at the Midwest Rock Festival in Milwaukee back in 1969. To this day, it was well worth being "grounded" for staying out well past curfew to see them.

[JimC214]

I've heard that Tood Rundgren has the fool.
