[The first appearance of the cream reunion concert that was suddenly brought to you, the best stereo audience master! ] Eric Clapton There is a release of a treasured master related to taper, which is a well-established heavyweight living in the UK. This time, what was suddenly brought from the heavyweight taper was the best master of the Cream reunion Madison Square Garden 2nd day performance on October 25, 2005. "Why now?" we wondered, but when we checked with a heavy taper, he told us that a friend of the heavy taper who lived in the Netherlands at the time really wanted to see Cream, so he flew to New York just for that day and made his own DAT. He had received a CDR of the stereo recording he had made with a recorder, but he had forgotten about it until now. When I happened to find this CDR and listened to it, I realized that it had been completely recorded with extremely low ambient audience noise and the sound quality was excellent, so I decided to provide it to our store. In other words, it is a superb first generation master that has never been released before and is completely new to the market. Our staff also listened to this master and came to the conclusion that we had no choice but to release it immediately. It's already been 16 years since then. Cream, whose name remains in rock history, was a band that revolutionized "rock" at the time along with Jimi Hendrix, despite being active for just over two years from 1966 to 1968. For this reason, rock fans have been calling for their reunion ever since they disbanded in 1968. However, it was Clapton's will that refused it for 37 years and prevented it from becoming a reality. For him, who has achieved great success as a solo artist, he was caught between the feud between Ginger and Jack at the time, and because of the bitter memories of being exhausted and disbanded, the reunion of Cream was nothing more than a meaningless spectacle that would only bring him back to the past. That's what I was thinking. However, in 2005, things changed dramatically. Jack Bruce's health deteriorated to the point that he needed a liver transplant, and his life was in danger. Ginger Baker is currently living in Nigeria, Africa, and is on the verge of having her home repossessed for not paying taxes. After 2000, Clapton, who had been looking back on his career, performing with many of his musician friends and rekindling old friendships, reached out to two old friends. And the reunion concert was realized. It was first held for four days at the Royal Albert Hall in London in May. Naturally, many rock fans from all over the world rushed to the Royal Albert Hall. It seems that many fans came from Japan to see it. When they stood on the same stage for the first time in 37 years, they no longer looked like they were fighting a war with their instruments. It wasn't distorted or loud. There, there were three people smiling and praising each other from time to time. If you think about it purely from the perspective of "music," you might even think that this is the sound they originally wanted to make and produce. The uniqueness of Cream's songs and the outstanding skills of the three members. This concert reaffirmed that for me. [A superb master who realistically revives the New York performance, which is different from the London performance] And because this London performance received such great response and popularity, a New York performance was scheduled to be held in October of the same year. is. Here, let's look back at Clapton's activities this year up to the Cream reunion. ・January 15, 2005: Performed and recorded Wish You Were Here with Roger Waters as a charity benefit for "TSUNAMI AID" at the BBC Television Studio ・January 22, 2005: Performed in Cardiff, England・March 11, 2005: Appeared in a charity show for "Comic Relief" at BBC Television Studios.

I understand (all other activities were related to Spot's charity). In other words, Clapton was focusing on “Cream reunion” in 2005. For fans, this concert was like a dream come true for the first time in 37 years. All of them were over 60 years old, their former all-conquering power had faded, and their improvisations had become shorter, but they had a taste of mastery to them. All three played different models of instruments from the Cream era, and with techniques that could be said to be the culmination of their careers, they brought out the best in the songs and captivated us. Clapton was expected to play the same high-volume Gibson guitar as he did during his time with Cream, but he easily betrayed those expectations and only played his signature Stratocaster, which he liked at the time. I played. The volume is appropriate, and the instruments are different from the Cream era. As a result, each person's "taste" of 2005 was created. All songs were thoroughly rehearsed and ideas were incorporated into the set list. Above all, he set up Outside Woman Blues, Pressed Rat And Warthog, and Badge, which he had never played live during the Cream era, and also played the blues Stormy Monday, which he had played on the club circuit before Cream was formed. In the intro of this song, Ginger plays the backing with a drum roll. This is an idea unique to him. Furthermore, Tales Of Brave Ulysses was set in this American performance. Clapton's wah-wah stomping in the post-lude is refreshing. Also, Badge is not an arrangement that starts with a guitar intro and repeats the break part twice, like Clapton plays in his solo performances, but instead starts with Jack's bass and only plays the break part once.It is a completely creamy song. It was performed in a form close to the original. Clapton played with "Cream" in mind from beginning to end. I guess he was trying to get that feeling back again. It is said that the cause of their breakup in the past was a feud between Jack and Ginger, and it is said that during the concert in London, the two did not get along even off stage. It seems that they have gotten back together. However, it was a short-term performance lasting only 3 days. The three of them did not reflect those circumstances on stage, gave their best performance, and completed the performance safely. Officially, a live album from the London performance has been released, but of course the sound source of this New York performance is not included. After this, both Jack and Ginger died. It is now impossible for Cream to reunite. Good job, I think you made it happen at this time. There is no doubt that along with Cream leaving their name in rock history, this concert was also etched in rock history. Although the sound source of the same day has been released in the past, this edition contains the best master that appeared for the first time in Japan. I hope that you will reacquaint yourself with "Cream" through this edition.
