After just over two years as a band, Cream gave their final performance
on Nov. 26, 1968. The concert was held at the Royal Albert Hall In
England. Cream’s decision to disband took fans by surprise, though
simmering tensions within the band, primarily between Jack Bruce and
Ginger Baker, came to a head, as Eric Clapton was losing interest in the
band. They embarked on a ‘farewell tour’ of 19 cities in the US before
the two night stand finale, Nov. 25 & 26, at the Royal Albert Hall.

The band were apparently unhappy with those final shows and even die
hard fans admit it wasn’t the band at the peak of their powers. In the
documentary, ‘Cream: Classic Artists,’ Baker said “It wasn’t a good gig.
Cream was better than that. We knew it was all over, we knew we were
just finishing it off.”
