Cream - Ginger Baker at Royal Albert Hall, London.

November 26th, 1968

9 of 11

"Farewell Concert" is the live recording of the Cream's final concert at the Royal Albert Hall on November 26th, 1968.

Directed by Tony Palmer, the film incorporates pieces of six performances with narration by BBC announcer Patrick Allen, along with interviews with the band members themselves, showcasing their playing abilities.

The film has often been criticized for both its mediocre sound and visual effects.

In 2005, a special extended edition of the concert appeared featuring full versions of all songs separated from the narration and interviews. The new version featured digitally remastered sound and video including three bonus songs.

I remember as a young child listening to Toad on the live part of Wheels of Fire double album, it freaked me out as a kid and it still does as a grown man.

Ginger influenced all who came after...and invented so much of what simply hadnt existed in the form that came before....world beat , jazz traditions into a wider dynamic range.....like Tony , Steve, Buddy, Elvin , Carmine, Lenny, Sly, Neil, and Ringo.....he offered new style and form and sound....language just breaks down in describing the superlatives.....just listen to records and live performances before Ginger and then after.....one then might come closer to understanding the difference.

En mi opinión el mejor baterista de Rock. Muy superior a cualquier otro. Buddy Rich es de otro género (Jazz). GB también hizo jazz (con Graham Bond, con Jack Bruce en contrabajo!!!) pero era demasiado brutal para mi gusto (el jazz no es rock).

My absolute favorite! It's amazing that even before delving into Cream I was always a fan of Keith Moon and the notion of sporadic rhythm and almost melodic drumming. When I eventually got my hands on the Cream albums, his drumming style was almost "too good to be true." Baker's style is right up my alley and I totally admire his drumming, it has given me such a better sense of "vision" behind the drum set (especially when jamming out and being able to keep the melody going through my drumming while a guitarist takes a solo).No point even naming my favorite tracks to drum to, but for starters: Swlabr, White Room, and Tales of Brave Ulysses are tracks that I love to CRANK over my speakers and just rock the eff out to!

I remember people talking about Ginger Baker at various jams and stuff through out my life. I think back then while everyone looked like a freak, They still spent many hours studying music. Or before they became a freak. I think they took rock music more serious then one would today. Imho. Regardless, the man had skills. If your in a jam session and the drummer tells you to "play more like Clapton" tell 'em to play more like Ginger and they will probably shut up.
