Career
Cream was a British rock band that formed in 1966 and consisted of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker. The band was known for their bluesy and psychedelic sound, and they were one of the most influential bands of the 1960s. After a sudden break-up in 1968, the members of Cream pursued solo careers and other musical projects. However, in 2005, the band reunited for a series of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London and Madison Square Garden in New York City.
These concerts were highly anticipated by fans of the group, as it was the first time that the band had played together in over 35 years. The performances were a huge success, with tickets selling out within hours of going on sale. The band played a number of their classic hits, including “Sunshine of Your Love” and “White Room”, and the performances were praised for their energy and musicianship. The reunion concerts were documented in a live album and DVD, which were released later that year.
