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.<br />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.<br />In return, top UK stars including Clapton, Pete Townshend, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles avidly attended Hendrix's early club performances.<br />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.<br />It was with Cream that Clapton first visited the United States.<br />They went to New York in March 1967 for a nine show stand at the RKO Theater.<br />They returned to New York to record Disraeli Gears from 11 May 1967 – 15 May 1967.<br />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.<br />Baker's powerful, polyrhythmic jazz-influenced drumming backed up Clapton and Bruce, securing Cream as a power trio.<br />In 28 months, Cream had become a commercial success, selling millions of records and playing throughout the US and Europe.<br />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.<br />Their U.S.<br />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.<br />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.<br />The legendary infighting between Bruce and Baker and growing tensions among all three members eventually led to Cream's demise.<br />Another significant factor was a strongly critical Rolling Stone review of a concert of the group's second headlining U.S.<br />tour, which affected Clapton profoundly.
