Those Royal Albert Hall gigs earlier this year — Cream’s first in 37 years, not counting the R&R HOF reunion — apparently left the trio hungry for more (money). Pollstar reveals Ginger, Jack, and Eric will hit MSG October 24, 25, and 26.
Tickets go on sale first to American Express cardholders on Monday. Remaining seats go on sale to regular people a week later, and they’ll still be too expensive.
“People talk about Eric Clapton. What has he ever done except throw his baby off a fuckin’ ledge and write a song about it?”
- Anton Newcombe
OK Anton, I’ll mention your special show too: Brian Jonestown Massacre just announced a Pianos gig on 9/20. Only $15.

Damn, even i will have to admit that Anton is an asswipe and really does not deserve the plug for the Pianos gig. What a jerkoff comment about Clapton…..
i am contemplating throwing all my BJM CD’s in the trash right now…… I guess it won’t be a real loss because I got the shit free off their website –
Yes, Anton is a real idiot….
Cool to see the news about Cream. Keep up the awesome posts Stereogum!
fuck clapton. should’ve gotten a room on the ground floor.
What an ignorant and hurtful statement from bottomfeeder Anton. Shame on stereogum for furthering his cause. I won’t be purchasing any more
BJM.
hmmmmm…..shame on anton for the clapton remark, shame on me for my past negative gum remarks, shame on clapton for not getting a ground floor room……
Does Brian Jonestown Massacre ever play any of their scheduled gigs? They have cancelled twice down here in Atlanta this year.
i’ve seen them cancel, shut down in a middle of a set, anton scream at his audience and then walkoff and come back……… i will say that when they are on it is definitely worth being there but u have to put up with Anton’s moods to get to that point……it may or may not be worth it depending on what you want to endure
FUCK
BJM stole my 16 dollars last night, playing 4 shitty, droning songs in their 20 minute self indulgent set after arriving 2 hours late.
BJM are a joke.
People just go to see anton newcombe fuck up and he can’t even do that right.
Why are all of you complaining about anton/BJM?
Obviously you’re not true fans. True fans would not complain about 20 minute jams – which is a sign that the artist is really digging the music they are playing. And I’ve seen them play plenty of times and never a fight/walk-off etc.
I know anton and he is actually an intelligent and gifted artist. If you don’t like the live shows – then quite simply don’t go and quit your bitchin.
And you have no right to make judgement about someone you don’t even know or know why he may be angry at the time. Did you ever think of all the shit he has to deal with and assholes who provoke him… We’re all entitled to bad days and bad moods. Fess up – you are the people who probably only like BJM because of the possibilty of chaos – the last show i was at the audience was yelling and provoking anton, which thankfully he ignored.
Enjoy the music.
Well…I think Anton has a point & although Clapton did not “throw” his kid out a window (he was living with his mother Lori & her fiance’)He did milk the tragedy to death & made alot of money as a result. Really sickening but then afterall he claimed he was still grieving. 20 million dollars helps get over the grief fast…. Cream…a great band obviously needs the money (Ginger & Jack) and this is a perfect way to do it. Afterall…they ARE OLD.Clapton has many skeletons in his closet & is not the nicey nice man he claims to be. This new “goody two shoes” Clapton is boring boring boring. He will probably project pics of his 20 something year old wife & kids as a backdrop for Cream Concert LOL! You know when a person goes on & on about their kids or pet & you want to say who cares! Yep…who cares.
