Xorq Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Anyone who listens to this band ? I quess quite many people here know Cream. I just recently found this band through my dad. I got Disraeli Gears and Fresh Cream on CD and Wheels of Fire on vinyl. I think it's some very nice blues-rock. Quote
jimmie ray Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Good for you and your dad. You should buy some live Cream, listen to it together, and let him know he's the best! Quote
Jimmy Jam Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Good for you and your dad. You should buy some live Cream, listen to it together, and let him know he's the best! I agree Quote

Kashmir330 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Make sure to get Live Cream and Live Cream Volume 2. They both are amazing Quote

My favorite group until a little ol' band named Led Zeppelin came out. Quote
eternal light Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 They were great when I saw them. Quote
ZosoofFoCo Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Smoke a doobie and listen to Disraeli gears with your dad and you will never argue with him again. Quote

As well as the material already pointed out,try to get hold of the 'Farewell concert' on DVD. I promise you, you wont believe your EARS!!! Quote
hillsy Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 They were great when I saw them. You lucky bugger! Tell us about the show then! Quote
hillsy Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Highly overrated band. This is a joke right? Quote
jimmie ray Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 This is a joke right? I think Doublenecker is a big Clapton fan, so yes? But I don't think every Cream song is great, to be totally honest. But about half of them are really amazing. Quote

But about half of them are really amazing. Yep, i agree, not all the studio stuff is great. I think where Cream excelled was on stage, listening to live volume 2 now. For me, Cream were one of the few acts when peaking, had an extra element, like a higher force gets involved! Zep, The Who&Hendrix have it too. Can bring tears to me eyes! Quote
DoubleNecker Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 This is a joke right? Not at all. It's the truth. I hear the guitarist sucks. Quote
eternal light Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 You lucky bugger! Tell us about the show then! It was February, 1967 when Cream opened for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Quote
beatbo Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Highly overrated band. hey, necker....nice avatar with gram. made me klick over to my music and snap on him and emmylou doing 'love hurts'..... and yes...cream. never bought a bootleg of theirs. Quote

Floyd has it as well, along with Pearl Jam and the Black Crowes from the newer school Having said that, is Cream's live stuff that amazing? The opinion of Clapton's guitar playing is so overblown, I second guess every opinion I hear about his stuff. Quote

The opinion of Clapton's guitar playing is so overblown, I second guess every opinion I hear about his stuff. It's very overblown, it's terrible. Joking aside, I have to say that when it comes down to it, the live sound of Cream is much better than in the studio. Live Cream, Live Cream Vol. 2, and the live side of Wheels of Fire, are all great, and Crossroads on WOF is what the true meaning of GOD in Clapton's playing. I want that entire Winterland show...it's out there, I know it is, i just need to find it. Also, I suggest the Live At Oakland 1968 bootleg for those who can get it. Quote
marmorek Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Cream is wonderful. Definitely one of the top bands I'd love to see reunited (after Zeppelin and Pink Floyd). Quote
Humbucker Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Cream is wonderful. Definitely one of the top bands I'd love to see reunited... Er, they did, in 2005. Cream are my ideal band lineup; no singer to worry about (or pay at the end of the night). Fresh Cream (1966) was a major influence on how rock albums were to be for the next five years (including the obligatory drum solo, whether the protaganist was capable, or not). My personal favourites are the live recordings (including bootlegs). Once the perfunctory statement of the opening verses of a song was out of the way it was just three guys blowin' free, each playing off each other. Wonderful. RB Quote

For a moment there, handsome, I thought it was over between us. But now I know we share the opinion of the WOF Crossroads. Quote

Anarchy2Howard Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I recently got into Cream, as well. LOVE this band! I would do ANYTHING to have been at that farewell concert (and Led Zeppelin's RAH concert in 1970). I'm yet to find a copy of Goodbye, though >_> Quote
