London's Royal Albert Hall

Inn May 2005 Cream returned to London's Royal Albert Hall, the same stage where they had completed what was thought to be their final performance in 1968. It was one of the most eagerly anticipated, hard-to-get tickets in rock history. With the exception of a brief reunion set at their 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cream had not played together in nearly four decades. Filmed in Hi Def, this two-DVD set documents Cream's momentous 2005 London shows. Performances from each of the four nights are featured—classic songs like "Badge," "I'm So Glad," "Crossroads," "Sunshine Of Your Love," "White Room," and many more. Bonus features include alternate performances and in-depth interviews with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton.

Cream formed in 1966 and disbanded in 1968. In just under three years, the band produced three seminal studio albums, Fresh Cream (1966), Disraeli Gears (1967), and Wheels Of Fire (1968) and secured worldwide acclaim and commercial success with their unique take on electrified blues. The band were a prolific and thrilling live act and toured incessantly in their short but remarkable history.
