If the members of Cream thought their work together would be forgotten after they split at the end of 1968, the charts of the following years served another reminder that they still held a place in the memories of countless fans. On July 4, 1970 — the better part of two years after the announcement that the group intended to call it a day — Live Cream made its UK chart debut.
The album had become an American chart item on May 2, before British record buyers could get their hands on it. After its early transatlantic debut, it climbed to No.15 in a 21-week stay on the Billboard survey. Back home, it reached No.4. The success was proof of the appetite for something that Cream’s admirers couldn’t do in the flesh anymore: experience the trio on stage.
