The Cream

[njackets]

Anyone used to go? Last ever night tomorrow, dusting off the dancing shoes for this, know loads of people coming out of retirement for it.

 

Thought they could of done a bit better with the line up in the other rooms, The Annexe is prety much spot on with Yousef closing.

 

They're continuing on at some other venue i've never heard of but the line ups are hideous and have been for years, its dead to me after tomorrow.

What they charging for a ticket ?

[njackets]

More or less £50 steep I know! The fuckers knew they was going to sell out though know matter what they charged.

Add to that a cab in to and back from town plus drinks and maybe some other items and that's a night that could easily tip well into £150.

[njackets]

More than that! You can add the price of a match ticket tomorrow also if I manage to get sorted and a few pints, prob looking at a £300 plus day fuck it its Christmas!

Its worth the entry fee alone to see Momo back on the 1's and 2's

I seen a thread on here about that once, was that true?

[Ginny]

Thought they had a 'last ever night' a few years ago. Charged everyone £50 back then too

[njackets]

They've had 3 'Grand Finale' nights I think but they've all been over the last couple of months.

 

The place is getting demolished soon so I expect this to be the very last one.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Is the use of the definite article ironic here?

Until they realise they can screw more money by rolling out reunions once every 2-5 years.

Great band.....

Reasonably sure I went to the last ever Cream in 2002. It was a good night

That was when it finished as a weekly club night wasn't it? It'd started to get shit by then hence it closing.

[Kloppite]

I have never actually been the cream, but in its hey day in the 90's it had a reputation for being full of bell ends with the attitude I love me who do you love. Don't know how true this is but I swerved it as a result.

Can't remember exactly but travelled up from Birmingham where I was working as it was being billed as the last one. Do remember meeting some girl who took her top off and did a handstand to show how her new plastic tits held firm even when upside down

I never went there that often as my main clubbing days were while at university in Sheffield. However, I was never that impressed. I much preferred Golden in Hanley and Renaissance in Mansfield. Back To Basics in Leeds was good too, although a bit up its own arse. Wobble in Birmingham was the least twatty club of that era, I reckon.

Yep. It was a who's who of cunts.

They were 

Privileged to see the reunion in 2005.  Will never forget it

[Joe Strummer]

Dance music is for dickheads.

Renaissance was amazing. Back to Basics was good until not long after Ali Cooke died when it went a bit twattish but the Friday night at the Living Rooms (can't remember what I'd was called) was a great replacement for Leeds. Wobble was great when the floor started bouncing - minimum effort dancing

Golden when Gordon Kaye was playing is the best club night I've ever been to. Proper dancers' night.

Momo getting a shout out from Yousef as his inspiration.

 

I only went once or twice back in my younger days, long after it had lost its magic i imagine. Saw a young Calving Harris. He was shit back then too.

I seen that on his Facebook before, so it is true about Bleasdale being that Momo?

 

I only caught the tail end of Cream's prime, started going around 98 towards the end of Oakey's residency. I watched it getting shitter as the years went on till it closed. Nothing could touch that Oakey residency in the Courtyard though clubbing wise!

Andy Weatherall at his peak in the early 90's. He was pretty good. Also Jeremy Healy at Upyerronson in the mid-90's. Two of my favourites
