Cream - Ulysses (1968) - Bootleg Album (Live)

Cream Montreal, Canada June 11, 1968 Tales of Brave Ulysses Sunshine of Your Love Sittin' On Top of the World N.S.U. Train Time Steppin' Out Toad "Ulysses" is misspelt on the cover. I refuse to do that further, even in the interest of avoiding any possible confusion. Why? Because I endured four years of Latin/Classical Civ in high school taught by a monster who had a particular idea about how to correct misspelled words. For each instance of a misspelled word, whether on a quiz, test, homework assignment, ANYTHING, one would be required to write the word over, correctly, 25 times. If this was not done at the end of each grading period, 1 point would be deducted from your AVERAGE grade for every 100 words "owed". I had to write "ancient" (which blows the HELL out of the stupid "i before e except after c" rule) "caesar" and "ULYSSES" each about 500 times just to PASS one year, and I'm not going to misspell them again lest the old bat come from her grave and make me do it again! The venue is listed incorrectly on the cover as well. A poor audience recording, really useful only for archival purposes. Eric Clapton - guitar, vocals Jack Bruce - bass, vocals Ginger Baker - drums, percussion Cream were a 1960s British rock power trio consisting of drummer Ginger Baker, guitarist/singer Eric Clapton and bassist/singer Jack Bruce. The group's third album, Wheels of Fire (1968), was the world's first platinum-selling double album. The band is widely regarded as the world's first successful supergroup. In their career, they sold more than 15 million copies of their albums worldwide. Their music included songs based on traditional blues such as "Crossroads" and "Spoonful", and modern blues such as "Born Under a Bad Sign", as well as more current material such as "Strange Brew", "Tales of Brave Ulysses" and "Toad". The band's biggest hits were "I Feel Free" (UK number 11), "Sunshine of Your Love" (US number 5), "White Room" (US number 6), "Crossroads" (US number 28), and "Badge" (UK number 18). The band made a significant impact on the popular music of the time, and, along with Jimi Hendrix and other notable guitarists and bands, popularised the use of the wah-wah pedal. They provided a heavy yet technically proficient musical theme that foreshadowed and influenced the emergence of British bands such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. They also had an impact on American southern rock groups the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band's live performances influenced progressive rock acts such as Rush. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. They were included in both Rolling Stone and VH1's lists of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time," at number 67 and 61 respectively. They were also ranked number 16 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". Enjoy the music and feel free to Subscribe!
