Music of Cream tour - If you love the origins of power trio classic rock, don't miss this show, band was great.
Malcolm Bruce & Kofi Baker are fantastic musicians an worthy of admission ticket. Will James is excellent
an our group loved this show. Band played 2 hours 45 minutes including one 20 minute break.
The band played Cream with lot of jamming, ABB fans will really enjoy this show. At times Will James was Clapton, tone was off on Badge but crushed Sunshine, Crossroads and Cream set list.
Band added some interesting antidotes growing up in Rock Royalty. Ginger's son did 15-20 minute solo on Toad
and never bored of the drum solo.
I hope to see another show (midweek) 2+ hours from home.

Wow, 2 hours 45 minutes! Going to the show tonight and can't wait. Saw the real thing in 2005, London and NYC both! Thanks for posting.

I saw them a few weeks ago. Malcolm Bruce was VERY good, Baker OK. Will John's was OK, but he had awfully big shoes to fill and fell short. Their aim was obviously to give a feel for a live Cream performance, rather than the short album versions of the songs. I enjoyed the night for what it was.

I had a nice buzz going and thought Will James was excellent.
There is the one an only EC. I agree more of a live performance feel than trying to
replicate studio versions.

I always thought Kofi was a very good drummer. It is too bad his dad is an ass to him.
