donjr, thanks for the reference. as you said, it was cool to see clapton et. al. break down the songs and to learn, among other things, that "tales of brave ulysses" was lifted from "summer in the city" by the lovin spoonful. my take on cream, however, is that the parts were greater than the sum of the whole, which is to say that while baker/bruce/clapton were inarguably among the best ever a their instruments, and bruce was a very good songwriter and singer, their recorded stuff always sounded a bit leaden/hyperserious to me and didn't have the swing of peers like the who or zeppellin. still "we're going wrong" and "swlabr" are great songs.
Cream: Disraeli Gears Documentary
If you've never seen this movie and loved the band, I highly recommend this. The footage and interviews are amazing. If you have Netflix streaming its on there. There's more than one Cream movie so make sure you pick this one. To be able to see Jack Bruce play Sunshine of your Love on stand up bass is priceless and Clapton with the wahwah petal when it was first invented is very cool.
