A previously unreleased audience source of the legendary band that revolutionized rock, Cream, has miraculously appeared! A previously unreleased monaural audience recording of the legendary Fillmore West show in March 1968, the day Cream is said to have conquered the United States, has now appeared on the Internet! The person who uploaded this recording is the same person who recorded the show, and we don't know why he decided to release it now, 55 years later, but it must be a miracle for British Rock fans. Moreover, the fact that it was recorded in good sound quality that can be heard normally in spite of this era is wonderful, and it is truly a miracle. The second U.S. tour of Cream took place over a period of about four months, and the live performances in the West Coast area from February 29 to March 10 were the highlight of the tour, and were officially recorded live. WHEELS OF FIRE", "LIVE CREAM", "LIVE CREAM VOL. 2", and the Japanese CD "CREAM OF ERIC CLAPTON". In the underground, a rather poor quality monaural soundboard source of March 10 was leaked, which included the rare We're Going Wrong, Sunshine Of Your Love, which is a different take from the official version, Steppin' Out, and I'm So Glad, but it was not enough to appreciate the previously unreleased live takes. The March 3 show on this release was not officially recorded on that date, so naturally, all of the takes are being released for the first time. Moreover, we have examined the entire recording carefully, and as a result, the pitch, which had been slowed down in different scenes, has been corrected to a normal level, the sound pressure drop after 5:46 of Spoonful has been corrected, and the chirpiness caused by tape deterioration after Tales of Brave Ulysses has been alleviated. The quality has been improved. Thus, this is an upgraded version that is much easier to listen to than what you can hear on the Internet! This album contains rare and extremely valuable recordings that further confirm the legend of the legendary trio Cream, and we hope you will rediscover their greatness. A vivid record of their second American tour, in which they conquered the U.S! Let's take a look back at Cream's activities from 1967 to this tour.

February 23-June 18, 1968: 2nd American Tour ←★Check this out and you will see that even though they were a super group consisting of three members who had already emerged as instrumental virtuosos in the UK at that time, they toured the UK, Germany, and Scandinavia without a break to promote the group. The world's largest market. It was also the time when they made their entry into the United States, the largest market in the world and the home of jazz and blues, which was the background of the three of them. The first American tour was mainly in New York and San Francisco, but after making a name for themselves in these two cities, they embarked on a long tour of the U.S., including other cities, and virtually conquered the U.S. on this second American tour. The three musicians' outstanding technique made it possible for them to perform extended interpretations of the blues at high volume, which no one else was practicing at the time, and to establish improvisations that expanded songs that were only a few minutes long in the studio version to more than 10 minutes long. That is how they revolutionized the new genre of music called "rock. The Fillmore concert, which was in the early stage of the second American tour, proves this fact. The Fillmore show at the beginning of the second American tour is proof of this fact, and it contains a slice of the truth about Cream, which is a follow-up to the official live recordings. We guarantee that you will not regret adding this upgraded version to your collection. Two shows a day with a different setlist This was a promotional tour after the release of the new album "Disraeli Gears" at the time, but with a new setlist. The tour was a four-month long tour, and the schedule was hard, with two shows on this date. Although the recording is considered incomplete in terms of number of songs, and Sunshine of Your Love and Spoonful are regrettably missing, there are many things to listen to in this first release. First, N.S.U. from the first show is the longest take ever, clocking in at 16:37. The three of them are in perfect harmony in the middle improvisation part, where the difference between the "still" and "moving" grooves is brilliantly executed. It has been said that Cream was an ego group that simply played their instruments as they wanted without regard to each other's members during live performances. Cream is a professional music group. I think this proves that Cream was a professional musical group and not just a group of egoists. The next song, "Politician," was still unreleased at this point. The recording of "Wheels Of Fire" was in progress between tours, so it was already completed at this point. Note that the ending of "Sunshine Of Your Love" fades out at 3:52, but Clapton's solo in the middle of the song can be heard in its entirety. This is as good as the take from the March 9 San Francisco and Winterland show of this tour, which was included on the official live disc "LIVE CREAM VOL. 2". Also, because of the quality of the sound on this solo, it is clear that Clapton was playing in a proper "woman tone". In case you are wondering, Clapton used a Gibson SG Standard on this tour, which is famous for The Fool's painting "Angel of Fire". Probably, he played the guitar with the tone turned down to zero and the rear pickup, as shown in the guitar lecture in the official DVD "Cream Breakup Concert". Tales Of Brave Ulysses from the second show is also a great take that is comparable to the take recorded on "LIVE CREAM VOL. 2". Spoonful is another gem, as good as the famous "Wheels Of Fire" take. Clapton's long solo in the middle of the song is impeccably composed, and there are no dull moments at all. This is a very rare and precious recording that has seen the light of day after a lapse of 55 years. It is as valuable as an ancient historical site that has been unearthed in its original form. Please go back in time to the Fillmore West of 55 years ago with this upgraded version, available only at this store.
