Cream 2005 RAH Reunion Concert released on Blu Ray October 11, 2011. I was hoping against hope for some additional bonus performances, as all four shows were filmed as well as all three at MSG. But...no. Track listing identical to DVD release in '05.

Product Description
Cream’s short original existence from 1966 to 1968 belies their status as one of the most influential rock bands of all time. They released four studio albums that were hugely successful around the world and had a number of hit singles on both sides of the Atlantic. In May 2005 Cream reunited for a sequence of concerts over four nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Filmed in high definition, this Blu-ray features tracks filmed across the four shows including many of their best loved songs. Despite a gap of nearly 40 years the band quickly reignited the chemistry that had contributed so much to their legendary status and delivered four magnificent concerts that delighted the fans who had snapped up the tickets.

1. I'm So Glad
2. Spoonful
3. Outside Woman Blues
4. Pressed Rat And Warthog
5. Sleepy Time Time
6. N.S.U.
7. Badge
8. Politician
9. Sweet Wine
10. Rollin' And Tumblin'
11. Stormy Monday
12. Deserted Cities Of The Heart
13. Born Under A Bad Sign
14. We're Going Wrong
15. Crossroads
16. Sitting On Top Of The World
17. White Room
18. Toad
19. Sunshine Of Your Love

Madison Square Garden had a great performance of Tales Of Brave Ulysses that could have been added.

I guess Ginger Baker decided he's had enough of it.

Sorry to bump an old topic, but I just finished watching this and it was.... amazing.

I know Clapton is God, but Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker shine on this. Bruce's bass is just thundering. Baker is a monster for his age (at the time). Unbelievable performances.

It was quite a bit better than I expected, especially Clapton.

Geff, I'm surprised you don't have that yet. All the same, you'll love it. The sound mix is very good. Bruce's bass just thunders on this. In fact, it's him and Ginger that steal the show. Everyone knows Clapton what he's capable of and he's also good on here. But the other two shine. Of course, this is just my observation.

WARNING: The LPCM is DVD standard 48/16, & The DTS "HDMA" is 48k sampling, UNSPECIFIED bit rate. If I had a br player on my pc, I could rip it & find out if the DTS is 16 bit or 24 bit; but my GUESS is we got ripped (kind of like "organic food" at Safeway), & the DTS "HDMA" is probably 48/16 5.1.

Already owning the cd, i only bought this with the assumption it was 96/24 audio. Oh well, it was relatively cheap.....................

I do not like or trust Eagle.
