These recordings were taken from 1968 live performances at the Oakland Coliseum and San Francisco's Winterland theater, and display the infallible, blues-, rock-, and jazz-influenced chemistry for which the band is famous. Included in this set are the epic "Tales of Brave Ulysses," the wah-wah-laden "White Room," and the psychedelic glory that is "Sunshine Of Your Love."The only time Cream indulges in its improvisational side is during a 15-minute instrumental version of James Bracken's "Steppin' Out." Starting it out as a swinging shuffle, the gifted trio eventually launches into a mini-showcase of its playing ability that was indicative of the creative atmosphere encouraged during live performances of those times. While the first volume of LIVE CREAM may be a better example of Cream's overall technical prowess and brilliant interplay as a trio, VOLUME 2 is no less compelling, and includes some of the band's biggest hits to boot.
