Review: Only one word can be used to describe this bootleg: awesome.
Cream were at their live peak in early 1968 and this show at Back Bay Theatre in Boston still blows you away 46 years later. The band open with a 17 minute version of Sunshine Of Your Love which sets the pace for the rest of the show. It’s without a doubt one of the most energy driven versions of this song ever played or recorded and the band are in their element. Even now you can hear how involved with the song they are and it’s just fantastic. When they finish the song (17 minutes and 12 seconds later) Bruce or Clapton tell the crowd that they enjoy getting warmed up. That’s one hell of a warm up! They didn’t finish there though as the second song, a great version of the Howlin’ Wolf song Spoonful, clocks in at 17 minutes and 32 seconds. That’s over half an hour for just two songs. Incredible!
