Cream Live Performance at Klooks Kleek Featuring Iconic 1966 Set

Venue: Klook's Kleek Railway Hotel Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: November 15, 1966

Back in November 1966, when Cream rocked Klook's Kleek in London, they were riding high on their album 'Fresh Cream', which had dropped just a few months earlier. This live performance showcases their electrifying energy and incredible musicianship, with Eric Clapton's guitar riffs setting the pace for a new wave of blues-rock. Interestingly, this gig was part of their early adventures in pushing boundaries, melding jazz, blues, and rock in ways no one had quite done before. It's fascinating to note that this performance was recorded at a venue known for its cozy atmosphere, perfect for the kind of intimate, improvisational sets Cream was known for. The bootleg release, 'A Group,' captures this raw, thrilling experience, giving fans a peek into the formative days of a band that would go on to become legends.
