Cream / Farewell Concert Japanese Broadcast / 1DVDR

 This week, the best master of “Ginger Baker Tribute Concert” sponsored by Eric Clapton will be released on Press 2CD, and the pro-shot video of the legendary band Cream Dissolution Concert, which was the origin of their co-starring (longest). Version) will be released at the same time! This video, which is familiar to fans, is the standard video that comes first when it comes to cream video, but the official work with Japanese subtitles is currently out of print, so it’s easy to buy a new one. Is not available. Therefore, our shop will deliver the restored version, which was broadcast on TV in Japan in December 2010, as a DVD from a clear master without deterioration. It is the sound source of this dissolution concert that will be recorded in the 4CD audio live box set of the cream dissolution period released on March 6, but the content of the video is different from that, and in between the performance scenes March 1968 An individual interview with the three members recorded during the sound check of the performance in San Francisco’s Winterland during the US tour in San Francisco is inserted. In particular, the scene where Clapton himself gives a lecture on how to put out the “woman tone” and how to make full use of the wah pedal, which is said to have been devised by Clapton, is spectacular. This video was shot and edited by a British film director named Tony Palmer, and was televised in Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom in 1969 (twice at the Young Music Show in Japan). It was then softened and released on VHS cassettes and laserdiscs in the late 80’s (released versions included a full 82 minute version and a 40 minute edit version). Since then, the full version has been made into a DVD, and when it was made into a BD, both the full version and the edited version were recorded, but all of them are now out of print. It is most valuable to be able to confirm the final goal of cream, which is said to have laid the foundation for later hard rock with loud volume and improvisation by fusing blues and jazz, but the interviews of individual members are also very interesting. It is also nice to be able to confirm it with Japanese subtitles (the opening is unique to Japan). The director’s policy (habit) is to use a lot of ups and downs of the performer’s (singer’s) face and ups of the instrument. There are some poor edits such as inserting still images suddenly to match the scenes that are not, and the songs are not in the actual playing order (Sunshine of Your Love of Angkor is recorded at the beginning. (Masu), long songs are cut in and cut out without being completely recorded, and there are parts that are very different from the feeling of modern concert live images, but this was the best that this director could do. Probably. By the way, the effect like ink bleeding on the back in Sitting on Top of the World and Spoonful was projected on the screen on the stage to enhance the psychedelic effect at the live at the Fillmore Theater at that time. It is aimed at the image. There is no doubt that just watching “moving cream” is a great image for rock fans. In that sense, if you are a British rock fan, you can say that it is a textbook-like image that you should watch at least once. What is interesting from a maniac point of view is that in the scene where the stage was captured at the beginning and the performance scene of the White Room, both Clapton and Blues have the same costumes as the other songs, but Baker’s costumes are different, and Clapton is ES I have a Firebird, not a -335. In other words, only the opening and White Room scenes used the footage of the first show of the day. Therefore, it was the second show that was mainly adopted for the video. Also, although it is not shown in the video, it seems that the opening of this concert was starring the taste of Jesus and Rory Gallagher, and it was replaced with the falling giant cream, and with both artists who will rise with the momentum of sunrise after that. It was also a video that captured the changing moments of the times. The Ginger interview and performance scene from this video was used in the video of Ginger of the past day that was shown in the introduction of the “Ginger Baker Tribute Concert” scheduled to be released this week. Of course, Toad is also included, where you can listen to his angry drum solo. For Clapton, a long mushroom cut just like George Harrison of this time, no beard, a red western shirt and an orange double jacket look very cool. And smart and long legs! (Lol). The appearance of playing the Gibson ES-335 with a red finish, which I started using from this concert, is one of the treasure images. At that time, the floor seats at the Royal Albert Hall had no chairs, and it was clear that the guests were sitting on the ground, which is interesting in many ways. We hope that you will take this opportunity to take a look, re-evaluate the cream, and remember Ginger from this video as well.
