Farewell Concert It was November 26 1968. The Royal Albert Hall spiritual home of many of London`s greatest symphony orchestras was that night host to the Cream for their farewell concert.The Cream had played together for only two years but in that time had gained the admiration of musicians like Leonard Bernstein. Their records had sold more copies in those 24 months than the bible had sold in the last 24 years.The group was made up of Jack Bruce a 27-year-old Scot lead singer bass guitarist and harmonica player; Eric Clapton a 25-year-old ex-stained glass window designer lead guitar rated by most as the finest instrumentalist of his kind; and Ginger Baker a legend even among other drummers. Each was the other`s favorite performer…Songs:1. Sunshine Of Your Love2. Politician3. White Room4. Spoonful5. Toad6. I`m So GladFormat: DVD VIDEO
Customer Review: Worth the price
I agree totally with “Fast Eddie”. Yes, the production and film quality sucks. But it’s pretty typical of what (and who) was available to document rock bands in 1968. Most weren’t very professional. But if you’re a Cream fan (and I have been since 1968) what you get is well worth the cheap price asked for this video. This band stands alone as a unique icon. There is very little documenting it, especially period stuff of any quality. These are not the folks who became billionaires and household names. If you want high quality production - buy the Albert Hall DVD. It’ll gives you goosebumps all over. EC just keeps gettin’ better… They’ve all still got it.
Customer Review: dissapointed too
I just had to see for myself and many of the reviews were right, bad! Sound picture and there was interuptions all through-out what was surpose to be a concert. I didn’t pay much so if you want this DVD do not pay much for it. I love the fact that you can look at peoples reviews, it really helps with my sellections! Hope this helps yours

Customer Review: Great but not their Greatest
I found this group by accident about a year ago. In that time, I have become a big fan of their style, a wonderful fusion of renaissance melodies and lyrics with a bit of a harsh, rock edge to it. They are magnificent.

The Original Fleetwood Mac - The Early Years Customer Review: Fleetwood Mac The Early Years
I can’t believe we waited for 2 months to finally get this and what a disappointment. Only 54 minutes long and it cost a fortune. Most of the tracks were either dubbed or performed while some psuedo-psychadelic images danced across the screen. The openning narrative went so fast it was hard to keep all the dates straight. On the up side it was a treat to actually see the original Fleetwood Mac perform together albeit through poor camera angles and blurred images. It’s crap, don’t waste your money (like we did).
Customer Review: a good lil’ video
RHINO put this lil’ video out back in ‘94(6?)chronicling the years peter green led the group.
i’ve read the other reviews and while some people grow tired of the lip synching found throughout this video i still find it interesting and very much enjoyable.
here is my run-down of the contents of this video:
begins with a very quick spoken summation of the years peter led the group while the song black magic woman plays in the background and various photo’s and home movies are shown.
a black and white clip follows with alan price (ex-animals organist,then, apparently with his own television variety show)introducing the pre-kirwin formation of the group performing two songs, both lip synched(the dreaded lip synch!)but both peter and jeremy spencer having quite a frolicking time as jeremy mouths the vocals for heartbeat like a hammer and shake your moneymaker that were actually sung on record by peter. i love this clip because jeremy is loving pretending to sing the peter vocals and over to his left, looming in the foreground when the camera cuts to a full band shot, peter is all smiles and grins and even though the guitars are not plugged in, pete is wrapping his fingers and wrist around that neck like honey on a warm day. not sure what that means but, to watch the master, green, slide around on his guitar so effortlessly and fluidly is a joy to behold. and believe me, the man is all smiles-happy and confident.
this clip alone makes it worth it for me.
next up is a black and white clip three song mini-concert live before a real audience (you can hear a pin drop between songs-oh those were the days!).
first song sung by jeremy. yes, live, not lip synched. jeremy sings ‘i’m worried’ while getting in some slide licks on the side.
new addition, danny kirwin, takes the next song, a “klirwin” (as it’s printed on the case) original ‘like it this way’. lots of good mid range views of danny playing and singing. i point this out because for the most part this entire 3 song live set was filmed in constant…..constant facial closeups! back in the 60’s film makers had an OBSESSION to film groups in this nothing but close up of the face style-so frustrating to ME, at least, because i would like the camera to at least ONCE IN A WHILE, pull back and let us look at the whole group as they’re performing.
but, this is not to denegrate this video as a whole. it’s more a complaint lodged at the style of filming that seemed to be the primer back then.
so, it’s kind of nice when the camera pulls back to film danny from waist up playing and singing.
now, all this time during these 2 songs, the camera very sparcely gets a quick shot in of peter.
but this changes with song #3 because as danny has broken a string during his song and needs a few to get a new string(these are the pre-guitar techy days) peter takes the opportunity to treat us to a solo performance of his song world keep on turning.
the rest of the band retreats to the rear of the stage and peter displays his exquisite fretwork and soulful singing .
this is big pay-off #2 for me.
not to be missed.
after a series of still photographs of the group are shown with the song stop messing around playing in the background, we are transported to a color film clip from another television studio with live audience as a girl with a guitar introduces the group performing (performing to the record i should say) their big hit albatross.
now even though they are not performing the song live, i still get a big kick watching peter playing to this song. the man is all smiles and in just such obvious good spirits. his attitude is positively infectious!
and the song albatross-so dreamy and light as a cloud. did you all know that after john lennon heard this song he was inspired to write the music to the song ‘because’ from abbey road?
next on the video is very nice television studio film clip of the group playing to the record ‘need your love so bad’ .
the visual brightness and crispness of this clip makes this really nice to look at.
followed by, what for me, is the low point of the tape which is a black and white film clip of the group lip synching to the song ‘man of the world’ . as bright and clean as the previous clip was, this clip is murky, dark and unflattering. by the way, for once, the camera pulls back to get the whole group in one stage shot but pulls SO far back that they almost look like tiny soldiers.
next is a black and white 2-song set filmed before a television studio audience. the group are playing live here-not to the record.
first song is a real treat-a duet of danny and peter as they play and sing dannys’ song from the ‘then play on’ album-a song called ‘like crying’. price of the video #3.
2nd song is a song written by jeremy called ‘linda’ that is an obvious tribute to the musical style of buddy holly.
incorporating the signature vocal hiccup of the late great one , it’s also fun to see danny and peter paired up at one mic singing the background ohhhhh’s and ahhhhh’s.
next on the tape is a short interview with peter and interviewer filmed during what appears to be a primitive cable-access (before the days of cable tv) tv show.
after this interview the band play a shortened version of the song ‘oh well’. this is the record too-not a live performance.
also black and white.
then comes fun time! the group make an appearance at hugh hefners’ playboy pad on the legendary tv show playboy after dark.
they perform a live version of, appropriately, ‘rattlesnake shake’. here again we are met with a beaming, couldn’t be happier peter green.
i get some kind of joy watching an unburdened peter green just enjoying himself singing and playing.
the grand finale is an extended segment featuring the last song peter recorded with his fleetwood mac buddies titled ‘the green manalichi’. the segment intersperses a green-tint view of the band playing the song along with a hodge-podge of images, home movies and trippy day-glo happenings.
i recommend this lil’ video and believe you can find the pleasure i did watching it.

Multiples Keith Fullerton Whitman recorded Multiples at the Harvard University studios where he had access to vintage synthesizers and electronics. The eight tracks on this album flow from piercing electronic tones to interlocking clusters of repetitive guitars.
Customer Review: No diggity
I can appreciate how Whitman went to harvard and dicked around with their instrument archive more than I have to like it. Don’t get me wrong, I am a massive fan of the ambient-drone-classical-noise genre a la Stars of the Lid, Jessica Rylan, david lee myers and ellen band, home made electronics, bending circuits, all that geeky know all that Keith Whitman embraces. But frankly I find his music unbearable. Which is a shame because he’s probably still riding on that glowing but unknowing review @ pitchfork which has made him a demigod in many peoples eyes [oh my GOD, what thought provoking and intelligent titles ‘Stereo Music For Acoustic Guitar, Buchla Music Box 100, Hewlett Packard Model 236 Oscillator, Electric Guitar And Computer (Part One) ‘ the kind of titles that have tried so hard to erase so much pretense that it loops back around and you want to shoot yourself).
Quite like the ‘music itself’. I can imagine the guy at pitchfork, puffing at a pipe, Wittgenstein on hand, truly pretending to ‘get’ Stereo Music for Hi Hat. Some people say something this audacious is genius, I say something/one this audacious is scary because he could almost pass for a musician, if you forget that the first half of his career was built drilling drum-and-bass computer programming in your brain via the Hrvatski cell tower. Whitman is NOT a musician. He has no control over the often interesting sounds he produces from obscre machinery, the moment he begins to bring it together with ’stereo music for farfisa compact duo deluxe’, he loses it all over again. What starts with a promising organ line and simple but satisfying drum pattern spirals into another useless mess of drone drone and drone. its as if his random clicking and chirping is a safety net for lack of compositional skills– I would appreciate the dronage more if he had proven himself through some other avenue as a musician first, not just academically but intuitively.
Customer Review: Very original and creative electronic-influenced ambient classical music - non-fans of the genre will hate it, though
I bought this album only because it was on pitchforkmedia’s top 50 albums of 2005 list. What makes it great is the fact that it sounds entirely original and inspired as it’s very interesting to listen to. Unfortunately, I fear that non-fans of the genre will simply hate it. It took me several listens to get used to it, as a lot of the songs are pretty hard to listen to on the first try. As for what it sounds like, it’s essentially electronic-influenced ambient classical music. He uses a fair amount of guitar and piano sounds here, and a LOT of electronic noises (I know this because the song titles say what he uses). I hated it the first time I listened to it, but after several listens I finally found its greatness. For those looking for some great contemporary classical ambient albums, this is a GREAT buy. Highly recommended!
