Eric Clapton in Internet
In early 1967, Clapton's status as Britain's top guitarist was rivaled by the emergence of Jimi Hendrix, an acid rock-infused guitarist who used wailing feedback and effects pedals to create new sounds for the instrument.
Hendrix attended a performance of the newly formed Cream at the Central London Polytechnic on 1 October 1966, during which Hendrix sat in on a shattering double-timed version of Killing Floor.
In return, top UK stars including Clapton, Pete Townshend, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles avidly attended Hendrix's early club performances.
Hendrix's arrival had an immediate and major effect on the next phase of Clapton's career, although Clapton continued to be recognised in UK music polls as the premier guitarist.
It was with Cream that Clapton first visited the United States.
They went to New York in March 1967 for a nine show stand at the RKO Theater.
They returned to New York to record Disraeli Gears from 11 May 1967 – 15 May 1967.
Cream's repertoire varied from soulful pop (I Feel Free) to lengthy blues-based instrumental jams (Spoonful) and featured Clapton's searing guitar lines, Bruce's soaring vocals and prominent, fluid bass playing.
Baker's powerful, polyrhythmic jazz-influenced drumming backed up Clapton and Bruce, securing Cream as a power trio.
In 28 months, Cream had become a commercial success, selling millions of records and playing throughout the US and Europe.
They redefined the instrumentalist's role in rock and were one of the first blues-rock bands to emphasise musical virtuosity and lengthy jazz-style improvisation sessions.
Their U.S.
hit singles include Sunshine of Your Love (#5, 1968), White Room (#6, 1968) and Crossroads (#28, 1969) - a live version of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues.
Although Cream was hailed as one of the greatest groups of its day, and the adulation of Clapton as a guitar hero reached new heights, the supergroup was destined to be short-lived.
The legendary infighting between Bruce and Baker and growing tensions among all three members eventually led to Cream's demise.
Another significant factor was a strongly critical Rolling Stone review of a concert of the group's second headlining U.S.
tour, which affected Clapton profoundly. (*) |
