Cream

Cream was in a pivotal phase of their career around the time of their live performance at the Alameda County Coliseum on August 30, 1968. This concert followed the release of their groundbreaking album 'Disraeli Gears' from 1967, which propelled them into the spotlight with hits like 'Sunshine of Your Love.' Interestingly, 'I'm So Glad,' featured in this live recording, showcases the band's signature fusion of blues and psychedelic rock, a hallmark of their style. By the time of this performance, Cream had solidified their reputation as one of the first supergroups, combining the unique musical talents of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker. Their live shows were energetic and often improvisational, and this recording captures the raw intensity and chemistry that defined the band during that electric era.
