Cream

Cream was riding a wave of creativity in late 1966, just before the explosive release of their groundbreaking album, "Disraeli Gears," which came out in November 1967. The live recording of "Spoonful" from Sutton Baths captures the band at a pivotal moment, showcasing their bluesy roots and musical prowess just as they were evolving into one of the defining bands of the psychedelic rock era. Interestingly, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker's chemistry was electric, blending blues and rock in innovative ways that few could match. This performance highlights their improvisational skills, which would become a staple of their live shows. As they were climbing the charts and pushing musical boundaries, this live session serves as a snapshot of Cream's raw talent and burgeoning influence on the music scene.
