I love the DVD. The guys are certainly shadows of what they once were (and I would expect no less), but they're all still great. Although much of the material lacked the original fire, it's still a great treat to see them play the old stuff again.
Personally I would have rather have seen Clapton use Marshall plexi full stacks and a Les Paul/SG/ES335/Firebird instead of the Fender gear. But I understand business is business.

Personally, I was hoping to be slammed against the wall by the raw power that was Cream, but this was a lot more tame.
IIRC, in an interview Clapton said that they tried the whole Marshall stack thing but it didn't work...I guess it depends on what the definition of "it didn't work" is...sonically, contractually, etc.
I laugh everytime I see a photo of Jack's Hartke heads...love that EQ curve!!! Take that you who shun mids!!!

had considered playing the older style, but that it
just wasn't them today, and they decided to play the
way that they currently play and use their current gear
on purpose. That made sense to me.
I found the 1968 Albert Hall DVD at WallyMart for $9.98 and
bought that. It is an excellent contrast to watch both.
Same venue no less.

Kind of a Spinal Tap moment!
