Customer Review: Great and Nostalgic

I really enjoyed viewing this video. I bought another copy for a friend in England and plan to give it as a Christmas gift. Can't get enough of these guys. My friend's band opened for Cream in Birmingham in 1966.

Customer Review: Exceeded my expectations

I had seen grey-haired Clapton and absolute geezers Baker and Bruce in a cut from this DVD, on VH1 (I think). It was impressive, and I'd hoped the DVD would be worthwhile. It's fantastic, and I can't recommend it highly enough.



I'm one who feels Clapton has not lived up to his potential for the past 30 years. Here, he has never been better. In an interview segment, Baker noted that he an Bruce are jazz musicians, and that they consider Clapton a jazz musician, as well. This shed light on why I've always had such a hard time considering them a rock band -- along with their leanings to blues, and some hard-to-define tracks from their albums.



The audio and video productions are first rate. Great lighting and camera angles, and the sound is full and crisp.



I made the mistake of watching a DVD of another 3-man rock hall-of-fame band soon after watching this one. By comparison, they did not come close in regard to skill, versatility, vitality and overall production.
