They're The Creamiest

The boys from Cream are back, if only briefly.

Clapton, Bruce, and Baker (listed in diplomatic order, choosing no sides) played their first show of the 4-date London Reunion last night.

If you're a fan (and you should be), here's the set-list:

• I'm So Glad
• Spoonful
• Outside Woman Blues
• Pressed Rat And Warthog (one of my all-time favorite titles)
• Sleepy Time Time
• I Feel Free (my 9 year-old son's favorite Cream song)
• Badge
• Politician
• Rollin' And Tumblin'
• Stormy Monday
• Born Under A Bad Sign
• We're Going Wrong
• Crossroads
• Sitting On Top Of The World
• White Room
• Toad
• Sunshine Of Your Love (Encore)

Fan freakin'-tastic. Conspicuous in it's absence is "Strange Brew", but then again, could Eric really still hit those high notes? No "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" either...

I wish they would do more than four reunion shows. Hopefully they're using this as a warm-up for something more. It would be neat to hear the three of them after so many years. Maybe there will be a DVD. Next best thing, I suppose.

I'm too young to remember them as an active band, but I owned Disraeli Gears at the age of 13 and consider it partly responsible for my interest in music.
