First saw Cream…..March, 1968 Winterland ballroom San Francisco. My husband and I loved the group….and we still listen to those songs today!

Ginger Baker did a drum solo that I thought not possible!!! Awesome concert!

March of ‘68 was their last time performing at Winterland….they had done at least 5 performances throughout ‘67 but music scene was changing in 68’ and some groups moved on to LA or NY.

I think Cream broke up shortly after that last gig.

My husband knows all the particulars. He was in the music scene back then and knew all the groups and what happened to them.

It was a great experience while it lasted!

Apparently the personality conflicts in Cream were somewhat extreme.

Jack and Ginger were very different personalities for sure. I have an extensive library on YouTube music and my first song to get my day going is always Crossroads!!
