Cream: Live At The Forum 1968
2-LP Blue Vinyl Limited Edition
Brand New / Factory Sealed / Mint / Pristine
This historic show is taken from the recently released Cream – Goodbye Tour – Live 1968 collection which was produced by Bill Levenson. This limited edition 2LP blue colored set is the first authorized release of the concert in full on vinyl. The Los Angeles Forum concert was mastered from the original 1968 analog mix reels by Kevin Reeves at Universal Mastering, Nashville, TN.
Cream’s Live At The Forum, featuring the band’s performance recorded at the Los Angeles Forum during their Goodbye Tour of 1968, was released in a limited edition, blue, 2LP version by UMC/Polydor UK.
The 2LP release is taken from the four-CD set that commemorated the tour and was released in 2020. Live At The Forum is produced by Bill Levenson and marks the first authorised release of the full concert on vinyl. The recording of the historic show captures the mighty trio of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker at the height of Cream’s powers, but poignantly also nearing the end of their all-too-brief two-year reign.
Cream’s final album Goodbye, which followed their split and was released in February 1969, contained six tracks, three of which were recorded at the Forum. The LP topped the charts in the UK, where it went platinum, and reached No.2 in the US, where it was certified gold.
“Cream was a shambling circus of diverse personalities who happened to find that catalyst together,” observed Clapton. “Any one of us could have played unaccompanied for a good length of time. So you put the three of us together in front of an audience willing to dig it limitlessly, we could have gone on forever… And we did….just going for the moon every time we played.”
The Goodbye Tour comprised 22 shows at 19 venues across the US from October 4 to November 4, 1968. Cream’s famous finale, in two shows at London’s hallowed Royal Albert Hall, followed on November 25 and 26.
