A brand-new box set featuring several previously unreleased tracks from the British Rock band Cream will be released this March.
The collection will feature the band’s performance at the San Diego Sports Arena on October 20, 1968, as part of their 19-date final U.S tour.
Also included are two full-length performances held at the Oakland Coliseum Arena and Los Angeles Forum in the same year, as well as their farewell show in Royal Albert Hall, London.
The box set will feature a total of 19 tracks that have not received a full release in the past, including the song “Crossroads,” which is available for streaming now.
“Cream was a shambling circus of diverse personalities who happened to find that catalyst together,” said guitarist and vocalist, Eric 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,” he added. “And we did … just going for the moon every time we played.”
Clapton also announced a tribute concert in honor of the band’s late drummer, Ginger Baker, who passed away at the age of 80 last October.
The sold-out show is slated to take place on February 17 in London and will feature performances by guest acts that are yet to be announced to the public.
