AD Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 This is from Billboard.com Vintage rock trio Cream will reunite for a string of shows next year at London's Royal Albert Hall, sources tell Billboard.com. The group -- guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce -- played its final shows at Albert Hall before splintering in November 1968. Cream has not performed together since its 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Billboard.com understands the trio will begin rehearsals after the first of the year, with an eye on a week-long run of gigs at Albert Hall. It is unknown if plans call for additional shows in other parts of the world. A spokesperson for Clapton had no comment. Sweet!!! AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondtube Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 only bands i'd fly to Europe to see: Pink Floyd ... Thats it. It'll be nice to hear clapton turn down the suck, and turn up the raw meat for a little while....(hopefully)... Oh btw, TimmyB, i downloaded a show from the last Clapton tour you went and saw....its not the T.O. show, but probably the same setlist. If you want a copy of it, its yours. SOmething tells me it was from a show in Michigan...(maybe the palace?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Unlike Cream, Floyd tends to make themselves available to North American audiences. As well, and I can't speak for Tim or Velvet, but I just see this as being as good a time as any to visit England. I plan to visit some time. It might as well be while Clapton is pulling out tunes like "Swlabr"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Floyd tends to make themselves available to North American audiences? Maybe 25 years ago... But its always a good time to visit Europe....someday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Floyd hasn't been over here since 1979?!?!? Who the hell did I see at the Ex about ten years ago? That wasn't Comfortably Numb was it? If so, I'll admit they're pretty convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 It's already been ten years since the last time Floyd was here? I'm getting old! (I still remember where I was sitting for their show in 1988 for crying out loud. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I would travel to the United Kingdom (or anywhere in Europe) to see the aforementioned reunited Cream as well as Genesis (with or without Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett), Pink Floyd (with or without Roger Waters) and The Police just to name a few.

Velvet Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 "I have a stub from 99 that says Jerry Garcia Band on it..." As do I. Touche 2ndTube.

bradm Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 And, for the record, I would use seeing The Police reunite for a show as an excuse to travel anywhere on planet Earth. Presumably to where they were actually playing? "Hey, Velvet! The Police are re-uniting: the show's in London, England." "Fantastic! I've been waiting for this! Have a good week, everybody, I'm off to Guam..." Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I have never gotten over the fact that an old roommate of mine once saw Peter Tosh open for the Police in Toronto at the "Police Picnic". I think it was like 1984. (When did Tosh die?) I know I was living in Toronto at the time. I'm sure I was old enough to get on a subway; with or without parental permission. Where the hell was I when that show was going on?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 When did [Peter] Tosh die? According to http://www.ptosh.com/story.html he died on September 11, 1987. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I don't think that show was not in 1984 StoneMtn, 'cuz I woulda gone to it. They did that Police Picnic every year in Toronto and I had just gotten into them in '83 or '84, the first year they stopped doing the annual show.
