The legendary band's 2005 Albert Hall reunion

Cream
Legendary 60s supergroup Cream reunite to perform at London's Royal Albert Hall, the venue which was the scene of the trio's last appearance in 1968.

After leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in 1966, Eric accepted drummer Ginger Baker's offer to start a new band and Eric suggested bassist Jack Bruce to complete the trio. During its two-year life span, Cream released four albums: Fresh Cream (1966), Disraeli Gears (1967), Wheels of Fire (1968), and Goodbye (1968). The band's performances were not a series of three-minute hit song recreations but featured ground-breaking long-form improvisation around album cuts.

In the decades since the band broke up in late 1968, countless musicians have pointed to the power trio as an important influence on their own playing and style and the hard rock genre. The legendary band reunited in May 2005 for a series of concerts that went down in history - this one is from the unique setting of the Royal Albert Hall.

I had the concert recorded on my Sky+ box however I have changed to a sky+ HD box and frustratingly there is no way of transferring recorded footage between boxes. As a result I dont have it anymore and would like to know if and when the concert is being shown again, thanks!!
