    Aw, shucks. That Forum show was my first rock concert and was on my birthday. I was deeply affected by Clapton’s blue satin pants. They looked from another world.

    Well, they may have recorded more shows along the tour. At least, there is also a complete soundboard recording in circulation from Oct 25 at the Dallas Memorial Auditorium...

    Really? I know there is a great audience recording that was made from the photo pit, but not aware of a soundboard. Does it circulate?

    Well, at least my source claimed it was an SB recording. It does sound pretty good but it may indeed be that audience-taped recording you mention.

    Luke: not surprised at this news or doubting you for a moment, but is this verified info?

    Cheers.

    Not necessarily - there could always be rights issue with the filming crew (similar to Hendrix at RAH) or the tapes may have been lost (similar to the fate of original film reels for this concert).

    When Cream reformed in 2005, there were rumors that the few original unedited reels of the Farewell concert film were found. Ended up being nothing but wishful thinking.......that film is such a lost opportunity!

    I don't know. I have the Empress Valley boot which certainly sounds great to me but this forthcoming Universal set will be fine I'm sure. Bill Levenson is listed as producer and he certainly knows Cream and that era way better than me. Price seems ok in the UK as well. As a fan I hope it does well and tempts Universal back into doing something with Disraeli Gears and Wheels of Fire.

    I think this set will have 4 drum solos for Mrs Torch. An enterprising person at Universal would put out a vinyl double album with all 4 one per side for 2020 RSD.

    Universal... I hope these tapes were not lost in the fire.

    As I posted already upthreat, I guess that boot box must have been the inspiration - or "wake up call" for this new release. Heck, even some pictures are the same!
    The boot box though came with diginoise on the last three tracks of the 10/19 LA Forum show and the RAH show of course is only the circulating audience recording. Hence, I take it that the powers-that-be behind the official box saw how great the idea of that farewell tour box was and at the same time imagined how easily they could top that and beat that bootleg at its own game. :righton:

    The Those Were The Days set offered major upgrades for the two LA tracks on Goodbye and three Oakland tracks on Live Cream II. The original album versions are what they are and I keep them as part of the album's integrity, but hopefully this new set will make the upgraded versions redundant.

    My first Cream purchases were Goodbye, Live Cream and II. When I got Those Were The Days later that same year, I only ripped some of the tracks and it wasn't for many more months that I learned those five tracks were not the original album mixes. :magoo:

    After the clear improvements and upgrades of BBC material featured on the Fresh Cream deluxe, it would have been great to get a Disraeli Gears set with the remaining BBC material getting the same treatment. Added points if they threw in a few more demos (Take It Back and Blue Condition from the first session). Wheels Of Fire I guess could have taken on the same tracks as the SHM set (Anyone For Tennis, Falstaff Beer, NSU live alternate, and Sunshine Of Your Love.) Add in Sunshine from the Glen Campbell show, include both the long and short versions of Passing The Time, and get the alternate mixes of Sitting On Top Of The World and As You Said.

    But the draw of Fresh Cream was that it offered a lot of new material. Ditto with this new set.

    I have all of the first 3 cd's on boots except for 2 cuts.
    I have Albert Hall too but edited and likely just a film dub so this may be intriguing!

    I believe that Sunshine cut was also on a 1992 Westwood One radio sampler.

    As far as I know the only shows that were recorded were those on the west coast, by Bill Halverson. Remote/mobile recording was still a pretty big endeavor at the time.

    As previously posted:

    The boot definitely wasn't the inspiration for the idea, which predated the boot by several years.

    Looks like Levenson was told to be "Live'r than you'll ever be!"
