Cream/London,UK 1968 Japanese Broadcast Version

They will also release the best master of the “Ginger Baker Tribute Concert” hosted by Eric Clapton, and will also release a professional shot video (longest version) of the disbandment concert of the legendary band Cream, which was the origin of their collaboration. I did it! This video is familiar to fans, and it is the standard video that comes first when talking about Cream videos, but the official work with Japanese subtitles is currently out of print, so even if you want to purchase a new one, it is not easy. is currently unavailable. Therefore, our store will deliver the restored version, which was broadcast on TV in Japan in December 2010, as a DVD from a clear master with no deterioration. This is the sound source of this disbandment concert that will be included in the 4CD audio live box set of the dissolution period of Cream that will be released on March 6th, but the content of the video is different from that, and between the performance scenes there is a sound source from March 1968. Includes individual interviews with the three members recorded during the sound check of the performance at Winterland in San Francisco during the US tour held in . In particular, the scene where Clapton himself gives a lecture on how to produce the “woman tone” that Clapton is said to have invented and how to make full use of the wah-wah pedal is a must-see. This video was shot and edited by a British director named Tony Palmer, and was broadcast on television in Japan, the US, and the UK in 1969 (broadcast twice on the Young Music Show in Japan). It was later converted into software and released on VHS cassette and laser disc in the late 1980s (released versions included an 82-minute complete version and a 40-minute edited version). Since then, the complete version has been made into a DVD, and when it was made into a BD, both the complete version and the edited version were included, but they are all out of print now. What’s most valuable is that you can see the ultimate goal of Cream, who are said to have fused blues and jazz and laid the foundation for later hard rock with their high volume and improvisation, but the interviews with individual members are also very interesting. It is also nice to be able to confirm this with Japanese subtitles (the opening is unique to Japan). Due to the director’s policy (habit), the composition is mediocre, with too many close-ups of the performers’ (singers’) faces and close-ups of the instruments, and the frequent cuts in the performance scenes make it difficult to match the actual performance with the footage. There are some clumsy edits in which still images are suddenly inserted to make up for scenes that are not played, and the songs are not played in the actual order (the encore Sunshine of Your Love is recorded at the beginning). ), some long songs were cut in and out without being recorded in their entirety, which is very different from the feel of modern concert live footage, but this was the best this director could do. Probably. Incidentally, the ink smudge-like effect in the background of Sitting on Top of the World and Spoonful was a result of the “light show” projected on the screen above the stage to enhance the psychedelic effect during live performances at the Fillmore Theater. It’s aimed at the image. In any case, there is no doubt that just being able to see “Moving Cream” is a welcome video for rock fans. In that sense, it can be said to be a textbook video that every British rock fan should watch at least once. What is interesting from a mania perspective is that in the opening stage scene and the White Room performance scene, Clapton and Bruce wear the same costumes as in other songs, but Baker’s costume is different, and Clapton wears ES. I have a Firebird, not a -335. In other words, only the opening and White Room scenes used footage from the first show of the day. Therefore, it was the second show that was mainly used in the video. Also, although it is not shown in the video, it seems that the undercard of this concert was performed by Yes and Rory Gallagher’s Taste, replacing the falling giant Cream, and from now on, both artists who will rise with the force of the sunrise. It was also a video that captured a moment of change in times. Ginger’s interview and performance scenes from this video were used in the video of Ginger from the past, which was played in the introduction of the “Ginger Baker Tribute Concert” scheduled to be released this week. Of course, Toad, where you can listen to his raging drum solo, is also included. As for Clapton, he looks very cool with a long mushroom cut like George Harrison at this time, no beard, red western shirt and orange double jacket. And smart and long legs! (lol). One of the treasured videos is the sight of him playing the red finish Gibson ES-335, which he started using from this concert. It is interesting in many ways to learn that the floor seating at the Royal Albert Hall at this time did not have chairs and guests were forced to sit on the ground. We hope that you will take this opportunity to watch it, re-evaluate Cream, and remember Ginger from this video as well.
