Cream to Perform at MSG
Cream will perform three shows at New York's Madison Square Garden on October 24, 25 and 26. While no official statement has been made, these performances are believed to be the band's first full stateside shows since disbanding in the late 1960s. As previously reported, Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker reunited in early May for a series of appearances at London's Royal Albert Hall. With the exception of a 1993 reunion at the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, those three shows marked the group's first performance since disbanding in 1968. Be sure to check back in the coming weeks for more information .

Thanks for the head's up. Please keep us informed as you hear anything. Hoping to take my son if the tickets aren't to steep. Figure with what I saved on JB@JB there's some Ice for Cream.

Cream Mulling New York Run?

On the heels of its early May reunion run at London's Royal Albert Hall, legendary power trio Cream may be crossing the Atlantic for another round of shows this fall. Sources say dates are being "unofficially" held for three concerts at Madison Square Garden in October.
Guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton, drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce regrouped for the first time since their 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a May 2-6 stand at London's Royal Albert Hall. The shows grossed more than $3.6 million, according to Billboard Boxscore.
"Live, Cream was a great, hardworking band -- Eric was supreme and Ginger the most musical drummer alive -- and those original live albums were very good, probably the best records of their kind up to that point," Bruce told Billboard in 1997, prior to the release of the boxed set "Those Were the Days."
Neither Madison Square Garden nor Clapton's agent would confirm that the dates were being held.
As previously reported, Clapton's next studio album, "Back Home," is due Aug. 30 via Reprise/Duck. The set features guest appearances from John Mayer, Steve Winwood, Robert Randolph and Simon Climie.

An informed source at the L&M concert last nite scoffed at word of an NYC reunion. He claims US Customs will nix any attempt by Ginger Baker to egress.
Just rumor & hearsay, but my source is a big music fan, well connected, and gave me this explanation without any hesitation.
