DVD Reviews of Classic Albums: Cream - Disraeli Gears (Dol)
DVD Review: A Real, Pleasant Surprise-Best Cream Dvd to Date
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to agree with the other reviewers-this is the best video product on Cream up to date-perhaps my enjoyment was rooted in this being a totally new project that wasn't rehashing the older Cream products.
It wasn't the "Farewell Concert", with it's unbearable editing. Or "Fresh Live Cream", with it's sketchy origins, but including the amazing Revolution Club footage. Nor was it "Strange Brew", leaving us fans wondering-are these guys ever going to get back together again?!
The "Classic Albums" dvd is simply worth watching for the NEW interviews alone, but we are awarded with additional solo performances as a bonus. Eric's solo performances makes one wonder how these guys would sound in an acoustic setting. Fans of Jack may have heard him on piano performances before...but this may be a totally new experience for fans strictly of Cream. Ginger Baker is always a treat when he is talkin' drums-it's similar to what he did in the "Farewell Concerts" footage, but almost 40 years later.
The songs are discussed in good detail, & afterwards, you may approach this album differently in your listening experience. A particularly enjoyable selection was Peter Brown, Jack, & Eric's recollection of "Sunshine of Your Love". The interviews are all done at seperate locations w/ each individual- but Jack plays the classic riff on his stand up bass(again, a Cream acoustic set-is it out of the question?), Eric plays it on his guitar, while Brown recollects hearing the riff.... and began to write..."It's Getting Near Dawn"......
Unfortunately, the "other" footage from the Revolution Club didn't make this dvd-saving them for another Cream project? The black & white footage of "We're Going Wrong" isn't well shot, but it's a nice showcase for a very young Ginger & Eric. Ginger is...well, Ginger-but Eric is quite animated here, which may surprise some people not familiar with his work in Cream. Jack isn't too visible, but we do get a rare opportunity to see him play the Danelectro Long Horn.
Tom Dowd was missed on this particular project(as well as Felix Pappalardi)-RIP gentlemen. You can find some of Mr. Dowd's recollections of Cream on the excellent dvd, "Tom Dowd & the Language of Music".
Description of Classic Albums: Cream - Disraeli Gears (Dol)
CREAM was rock's first true "super group". Combining the extraordinary talents of ERIC CLAPTON, GINGER BAKER and JACK BRUCE, this power trio became the template for many hard rock acts of the seventies. The band remains a huge influence on the genre even to this day.Powered by hits such as "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of Your Love", Cream's second album, DISRAELI GEARS, moved the band beyond the blues into hard-driving, psychedelic pop. This was the album that not only broke the group in the United States but also established Clapton as an international superstar.
This addition of Disraeli Gears to the acclaimed Classic Albums series features brand new interviews with Clapton, Baker and Bruce, along with lyricist Pete Brown, Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, John Mayall and Manfred Mann. Also included on the DVD are acoustic performances, original studio tracks and archival live footage.
