After much speculation, the first Cream reunion took place May 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th at London's Royal Albert Hall. The second took place October 24th, 25th, and 26th in New York at Madison Square Garden. The legendary trio-Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton-lit up both halls with such classic material as “Badge,” “I’m So Glad,” “Crossroads,” “Sunshine Of Your Love,” and plenty more.
