Live Performance of N.S.U by Cream at Cafe Au Go Go

Venue: Cafe au Go-Go Location: New York, New York, United States Date: October 7, 1967

In October 1967, Cream was riding high on the wave of their explosive success, fueled by the release of their second album, 'Disraeli Gears', just a year prior. This album was a game changer, featuring classics like 'Sunshine of Your Love' and 'White Room', which showcased their unique blend of blues, rock, and psychedelic influences. By the time of the live recording at the Cafe au Go-Go, the band was solidifying its reputation for electrifying live performances, with Eric Clapton's signature guitar work and Jack Bruce's dynamic bass lines dazzling audiences. The live footage captures this vibrant energy perfectly, offering a rare glimpse into their improvisational prowess and musical synergy during a pivotal moment in their career. Interestingly, this venue in New York was vital to the band's early U.S. presence, helping them appeal to a wider audience at the height of the psychedelic era.
