It was Live Cream Volume 2 that I first heard when I was 14 and the live recordings were 7 or 8 years earlier, but I'd never heard anything like it. The muscularity of the musicianship, the fact it was all recorded live. It was all amazing to me. And I’d suggest that in some ways we’ve seen improvised rock music through Cream’s lens ever since. Because as a live act - one I was too young to see - there were few to even go near the same territory. That first tour, which incredibly included Redcar jazz club when I was 5 and which this poster commemorates, took in all manner of places. You played where they’d put you on. The very opposite to today’s corporate rock experience
EU Countries: You've heard of Brexit haven't you? If you haven't, I admire your ability to ignore the real world. It means if you live in the EU, you will have to pay VAT on your order to get it delivered. Please don't waste all of our time by ordering if you aren't prepared to pay it and don't send me indignant emails about it - I can't help it, I hate it more than you, believe me and I have told you!! Right?
