I downloaded this long ago, can't remember what site.
Anyway, I haven't tampered with the files in any way so if you have downloaded this previously, maybe it is the same set.
Suffice to say, this is a must have for Cream fans, a very good professional audience recording and a pleasure to listen to.

Ian Sippen set up his quality equipment to record Cream.
Unfortunately the left mike failed and the recording is dominated by the guitar and the drums.
The loss of bass is partially compensated for by the magnificent, very present sound of the drums.
Jack�s vocals are largely heard by direct acoustics rather then through the PA.

"NSU" is hesitant as they try to sort out the gear on the fly with the PA dropping out and the guitar amps being adjusted. "Sunshine" follows and is
no better with: Eric starting way too fast and pulling back, Eric & Ginger struggling to hear Jack�s vocals and Ginger laying down a very basic beat �
one can see him glowering at the roadies as they desperately tried to sort things out.
Eric tells the audience to quietn down before they perfoym a quite superb "We�re Going Wrong". It really worked quite well live once they had got it sorted out.
The longer gestation time definitely helped with this one.

A short "Stepping Out" is performed but with amp problems for Eric followed by "Rollin� & Tumblin" with a just audible harp (well the drums are nice and clear!).

Obviously it is "Toad" that benefits with the very audible drums. It is comparatively short - Baker clearly didn�t want to hang about.
"I�m So Glad closes the set but by this time Eric�s Marshall is really breaking up and he just manages to finish before it totally cracks up.
