The Concert for Bangladesh v. Cream at Albert Hall
I watched both of these DVDs the other day. One was recorded in 1971 and the other this past May. The Concert for Bangladesh, except for the parts with Norah Jones' dad, was amazing. George was never much of a showman, but he and the band kicked ass, especially Leon Russell, whom I'd never seen before.Cream at Royal Albert Hall was a disappointment, except for Ginger Baker's 15-minute drum solo in 'Toad'. The band sounded like it was underwater, and there was no real power in the playing.
The Bangladesh concert, on the other hand, sounded immediate and personal. George also has a great set of teeth. It's sad that he's gone, because he could do The Concert for Baja Fresh.
