| On the night that Cream split, Jimi Hendrix was performing live on the Lulu Show and stopped playing his own track, instead beginning an instrumental version of "Sunshine of Your Love" (which had, perhaps unknown to him, was originally inspired by a Hendrix concert). |

| Cream epitomised the high energy sound of the time, anchored in a familiar blues style; from the traditional classics such as "Crossroads" and "Born Under a Bad Sign," through more eccentric imagery found in "Strange Brew" and "Tales of Brave Ulysses." Their biggest hits were "I Feel Free," "Sunshine of Your Love," "White Room" and "Badge" co-written by Clapton and George Harrison, who played guitar on the recording under the pseudonym 'L'Angelo Misterioso' for contractual reasons. Along with The Grateful Dead, Cream are considered the first jam band. The group improvised constantly in concert, with songs regularly surpassing the 20 minute mark. The band is also considered a pioneer of heavy metal music. |
