Cream / CA, USA – October 20, 1968

This is a rare collector’s recording capturing an electrifying live performance by Cream at the San Diego Sports Arena in California on October 20, 1968. By 1968, Cream had announced their impending breakup yet were simultaneously at the peak of their powers. This concert, recorded during the US tour following the release of their masterpiece *Wheels of Fire*, documents the legendary power trio just two months before their dissolution. The overwhelming interplay between Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker perfectly embodies the band at its zenith. In addition to signature tracks like “White Room,” “Politician,” and “Sunshine of Your Love,” the band fully showcases the thrill of improvisation on blues numbers such as “Crossroads” and “Spoonful.” The set also features Jack Bruce’s explosive blues harp on “Train Time” and Ginger Baker’s legendary drum solo on “Toad,” offering a chance to fully savor Cream’s uniquely thrilling live performance style. Cream spearheaded the rock revolution of the late 1960s; though their active career spanned only about two and a half years, the musical legacy they left behind is immeasurable. This release captures a powerful performance from just before the band split up—a must-have collector’s item that allows fans to experience the legendary synergy of Eric Clapton’s fiery guitar, Jack Bruce’s commanding vocals and bass, and Ginger Baker’s phenomenal drumming.
