(4 out of 5 stars)

"Recorded live at Castle Donington in 2001 the line-up features guitarist Uli Jon Roth (ex-SCORPIONS), Jack Bruce on bass (CREAM), Clive Bunker on drums (ex-JETHRO TULL), Don Airey on keyboards (RAINBOW/OZZY/DEEP PURPLE) and Barry Sparks on bass (DOKKEN/MALMSTEEN), plus UFO (MOGG/WAY/SCHENKER).Sky Overture opens CD one in fine style, some very impressive guitar from Uli. Another instrumental Aranjuez follows and then UFO kick in with Let It Roll and a long Rock Bottom (clocking in at over ten minutes) is next, with some sublime guitar playing and Phil Mogg in fine voice. Jack Bruce takes to the stage for the Cream classics Sunshine of Your Love and White Room, the latter a fine vocal from Jack Bruce. The first CD closes with two Hendrix tracks - All Along the Watchtower and Little Wing, with again superb guitar soloing from Uli.The second CD starts with the short instrumental Trail in the Wind, before UFO appear again on Midnight. Creams Spoonful is another extended jam. UFO return for Doctor Doctor. Fireworks Jam closes the album with an all star jam and guitars to the max! Great way to end a great album! A quality line-up of musicians who really do great credit to the originals."
