Cream - Whiteroom Live at Royal Albert Hall - Extended Farewell Concert

Venue: Royal Albert Hall Location: London, United Kingdom Date: November 26, 1968

The live recording of "Whiteroom" from Cream's farewell concert at the Royal Albert Hall on November 26, 1968, marks a significant moment in the band's career as it captures the culmination of their explosive yet brief tenure. Prior to this concert, Cream had released their third studio album, "Wheels of Fire," in July 1968, which is notable for being one of the first double albums in rock history. The album showcased their improvisational prowess and included both studio recordings and live performances. During their farewell performance, the band was at the height of their musical powers, blending elements of blues, rock, and psychedelia. This concert served as a poignant conclusion to their journey, as tensions within the group were rising, which influenced their decision to disband shortly after. Their contributions to the music scene, particularly their virtuosic instrumentation and genre-blending style, left a lasting legacy that still resonates with fans today.
