Cream re-formed but did they reform? Below is an excerpt from a letter to the editor of our largest daily newspaper the Edmonton Journal (Alberta, Canada) 2005-12-06. It was submitted by a concert attendee of long ago who watched the Cream reunion concert on PBS. "There are a few old dinosaurs like me who remember the storm of controversy Cream caused when they played the old Edmonton Gardens in about 1968. Baker drummed so hard that his hands started to bleed and, apparently, he used a Canadian flag to wipe himself. This caused a major scandal, which I remember well. I would like very much to read the original story from the Edmonton Journal archives."
