Cream was together only for a short while, but they made a huge impact. The supergroup made up of Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker played their farewell concert on November 26, 1968, only two years after they were formed.<\/p>\n
In the months leading up to their final show, Cream went on a 19-city tour in the U.S., per uDiscover Music<\/a>. Then, for their last-ever show, Cream took the stage at London\u2019s Royal Albert Hall for the second night in a row. <\/p>\n Before they hit the stage, Yes and Taste played opening sets. When it came time for their portion of the show, Cream covered blues songs including Skip James\u2019 \u201cI\u2019m So Glad\u201d, Mississippi Sheiks\u2019 \u201cSitting On Top Of The World\u201d, and Robert Johnson\u2019s \u201cCross Roads\u201d.<\/p>\n Of course, Cream played their own music too. Songs such as \u201cWhite Room\u201d and \u201cPolitician\u201d were included in the set. \u201cToad\u201d was a highlight thanks to Baker\u2019s lengthy drum solo. \u201cSunshine Of Your Love\u201d, meanwhile, stood out as the track that made the band popular.<\/p>\n The whole thing was captured on film by Tony Palmer, and his coverage was eventually turned into a BBC documentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n What to Know About Cream<\/p>\n Two years before that farewell show, Bruce, Clapton, and Baker formed their supergroup<\/a>. That decision came after they had their own personal successes in the music business.<\/p>\n Prior to the formation, Bruce had been in Manfred Mann, Clapton was part of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, and Baker was in the Graham Bond Organisation.<\/p>\n
