Cream - Sitting On Top Of The World Live Performance at Brandeis University

Venue: Brandeis University Location: Waltham, Massachusetts, United States Date: March 23, 1968

On March 23, 1968, during their explosive career, Cream was riding high with their album "Wheels of Fire," released just a few months prior in July 1967. This moment captured in Waltham, Massachusetts, showcases the band at a time when they were blending blues rock with psychedelic elements, creating a sound that was revolutionary. Notably, this live performance features their electrifying rendition of "Sitting On Top Of The World," exemplifying Eric Clapton's blistering guitar work, Ginger Baker's frenetic drumming, and Jack Bruce's deep, emotive vocals. What's fascinating is how this period marked their peak creative output, with the live album "Wheels of Fire" itself being one of the first double albums in rock history, balancing studio and live recordings, underscoring their dynamic range and collaborative prowess.
