Cream was the ultimate British Blues experience. The talent in these three on stage more than 35 years after their original farewell concert still remains staggering. Here's an audience shot clip from the 2005 Reunion series at Madison Square Garden. A little Tales of Brave Ulysses. Just a quick note: Ginger Baker was 66 for this tour... no back up musicians, no singers, no horn section, no help, just Cream.

And as a comparator, here's some vintage footage of how three guys can jam the shit out of tune. If you've only ever been an Eric Clapton fan, you need to get into the Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker rhythm section to really dig the vibe.
