CREAM au revoir
I can remember, in 1967, being at an all night “rave” at the Queen’s Hall in Leeds, England. On the bill were the Small Faces, Pink Floyd, and the Cream. It was Cream’s second live gig together, and when the Faces didn’t show, 80% of the crowd left the hall, leaving the Floyd and Cream to entertain about 35 people from the hours of 6:00 ‘til 6:00.

As you can gather, at this time, very few people knew Cream. They opened with N.S.U. and Eric’s first chord brought a ten foot girder down from the roof. Queen’s Hall used to be a tram terminal, and is very old, but nonetheless, it took mucho power to bring down a girder. No one was hurt, from the bar. After seeing these two incidents, Cream became rather afraid and turned down somewhat.
