Royal Albert Hall London May 2-3-5-6, 2005 is a live album by British rock band Cream . It was released on October 4, 2005 on CD and DVD under the Reprise Records label and contains a representative film cross-section of the four Reunion concerts.
background
On May 2, 2005, Cream gave the first concert since the breakup 36 years ago. The now 60-year-old Clapton is said to have agreed to the reunion mainly because of the poor health of his colleagues: Jack Bruce, then 62, had recently survived a liver transplant and the now 65-year-old Baker suffered from arthritis. It was the prelude to four appearances in London's Royal Albert Hall . From October 24th to 26th, 2005, the group also gave three concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York.

JD Considine of Blender magazine, however, noted that Cream "sounds better than ever". He awarded four out of five stars. While the readers of the CDstarts.de website only found the album to be “solid”, their critics rated it “excellent”: Also because of the repertoire, “it is still basically fun today and definitely belongs in every form in some way decent record collection. "
