Emergence

In March 1968, Cream gave several concerts in Winterland and The Fillmore in San Francisco. Four recordings from it have already been released on the live record of the double album Wheels of Fire . Live Cream contains four other recordings from these concerts and Lawdy Mama, recorded in the studio the year before . Except for this song, all tracks are from the band's first album, Fresh Cream . With Rollin 'and Tumblin' , by Muddy Waters , a covered blues classic is also included.

reception

Rob Bowman and Bruce Eder of Allmusic consider the recordings of NSU and Sleepy Time Time to be the definite ones and the album offers the highest quality everywhere, both in terms of clarity and fidelity of the recording as well as the performance of Ginger Baker , Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton .
