Jack Bruce Wants More Cream Reunion Gigs

7/28/08, 3:42 pm EST

Cream bassist Jack Bruce says that he and Eric Clapton will meet up with drummer Ginger Baker on October 3rd when Baker is given Zildjian’s Drummers Achievement Award at the Royal Albert Hall in London. As for another possible reunion for the “Sunshine of Your Love” trio, Bruce says “‘Cause I’m only the bass player, I can’t say for sure. I know there’s a good chance we may play at that event … but I don’t want to overstate it and make it into something it isn’t.” The band last reformed in 2005 for a run of concerts in London and New York. “I think there might be a chance of some more,” Bruce tells Billboard.com. “I would like to do some more, ’cause I enjoyed it. It was very emotional. I would like another shot at it.” The main roadblock in another Cream reunion is location and timing, as Baker lives in South Africa and Clapton is always on the move, as evidenced by the recent Blind Faith get-together. As for the Zildjian show, the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Mitch Mitchell will also be honored, with Jason Bonham and the Killers‘ Ronnie Vannucci among those performing.

Can’t wait to see Jack Bruce this summer as part of Hippyfest!

Cream were one of the greatest rock bands ever but as far as personalities go they were just as legendary for being absolutely the worst mix of people.

I am surprised they stayed together as long as they did.

Clapton and Baker were in Blind Faith together and that experience apparently caused a terrible rift between them. It blocked several possible reunions.

I saw Cream @ MSG back in 2005 at it was an incredible experience, to say the least. Let’s hope they get back together for another reunion, because I’m there for it!

Jack feuds with Ginger, Eric is loyal to Ginger, so probably no more reunions.

Would love another reunion, (not that I think it’ll happen what with the Bruce-Baker perennial unpleasantness. But this time, would prefer to see a studio album. Christ, wouldn’t that beat all?
