Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Cream was a great band. Their importance and influence in the rock world (and jazz and blues, too) can't be over-stated. I love these guys. Having said that, I must warn anybody who isn't aware of this movie - that it is one of the most horrible botch jobs in the history of rock documentaries. I think everybody from the director to the camera to the sound must have been awfully stoned. If you want to see a movie featuing Jack Bruce's acne scars with psych-ay-dell-ik sperm overlays crowding the frame, and almost unlistenable muddled sound in the background, then this film is for you. Or perhaps you'd like to see the camera zoom in and out on Clapton's nose to the movment of his wah-wah pedal. I read in an interview that Clapton was so incensed when he saw this botch of a movie that he actually went looking for tony palmer. I can only hope he found him and soundly kicked his ass. The only plus are the interviews with Clapton and Baker. Baker comes across as incredibly stupid (which he most certainly isn't), but it's funnier than hell. And his drumming speaks for itself.
