Cream - 1966-11-15 - London, UK (SBD)

1960s - #3 - Eric Clapton - Guitar.  Jack Bruce - Bass.  Ginger Baker - Drums.  The "cream" of the crop of jazz and blues musicians in the London music scene pooled their talents in 1966, to create rock's first classic power trio.  While their time together would be short, Cream proved to be one of the most influential rock groups in history, and are often considered the first "super group".  They would pave the way for improvisational, free form jams that would become the hallmark of psychedelic rock scene. This soundboard captures Cream on November 15, 1966 in London, 54 years ago today and just about 4 months after their live debut in July.  It is the earliest know recording of the band, and features shorter versions of their songs as compared to later live performances. More importantly, the show is electrifying.  Eric is on fire, and plays with total abandon, living up to the "Clapton Is God" graffiti scrawled throughout London's subway stations.   Download this one to capture Cream at their birth!
