Here is a highly collectible, rare, original poster for the Nov. 3, 1968 concert at the Baltimore Civic Center featuring Cream in what was touted as "Their Farewell Performance" (the band broke up Nov. 1968). It was part of their 30-day farewell tour of the U.S. They were billed as "The Most Important Controversial Pop Stars In The World, At The Zenith Of Their Careers", and who could dispute that. The imagery on this one is very detailed and unique. Often referred to as the first supergroup, Cream, consisting of Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass and lead vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums broke up immediately after the tour amid growing tensions between band members. Although the poster indicates that the Baltimore concert was "their farewell performance," the group also performed the following night in Providence, Rhode Island. This was followed by two shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London on November 26, their last performances together until reuniting for a number of concerts in the 1990s and 2000s.

The poster features art by illustrator Edgar Argo, and it was he and John Fritts that made this concert possible as noted by the "An Edgar Argo - John Fritts Production" note at the bottom left. The poster features great caricature images of band members Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker at the center. A smaller image of the band performing appears at the bottom. One of the ultimate Cream posters due to its design.

This incredible poster measures approximately 16 3/4" x 22", and is printed on thinnish paper stock. It remains in good condition, with edge wear, small corner bends a nick along the lower right edge some paper loss, horizontal bends in the lower margin, and handling. The poster still displays well and would look great framed.

about 30% of bypassers "dump", so they have to limit their sugar intake (or for some, fat). But most dumpers I know can eat "some" sugar (or fat). 70% of us do not dump. I never have (unfortunately, I might add...if I did, it would have stopped me from eating that cup of ice cream last night (which is just an occasional treat for me now, but still...))

My bariatric nutritionist is all about a well balanced diet and treats in moderation. We have to realistic, no one is going to go their entire life without having a treat once in a while. He also has reviewed my diet at both of my follow ups and says I am right on.

nope. Once you're a few months out, restrictions will be lifted. There may be foods that you find your stomach won't be able to tolerate, but there will be no restrictions. I can eat all of those things - cake, pizza, sherbet - even real ice cream.

This is true. I'm 4 months post of from bypass. I dumped once after eating honey butter and some french fries...Sugar and fat put me in double jeopardy lol

I avoid sugar like the plague because I don't want to dump. I can still eat pizza though in moderation. I don't eat it often but my dietician says as long as I'm getting in my Protein, and staying in a calorie deficit, eat pizza!

My dietician also told me I could eat a tiny piece of cake when it was my birthday in march. I was only 2 months post op by that point. I didn't because i was too scared to eat real cake, I made a sugar free almond flour cake instead.

but just an example you can live a realistic healthy life after surgery and enjoy treats in moderation on special occasions.

There are also a lot of great and healthier substitutes for your favorites.

Honest i eat a small piece of cup cake with frost it was terriable feeling i wont let my self try anything else like it also pizza is makes me feel the wrose and most meats make me sick but before surger all i eat was meat its werid

I've never been a big cake fan, though I've always been a frosting fan . I'll generally eat a bite or two of my spouse's cake and suffer no harm. A whole piece looks dangerous to me. I can generally eat a snack-size candy with no ill effects while two could be a problem in the right/wrong circumstances.

To note, I have dumped on cake, ice cream, sweets on very small amounts when hunger, meds, health, fatigue, or any number of things enter the picture, so I have to assess where I am when I do eat such things. I'm still wrong, but rarely.

Every year I must prepare myself mentally for a cruel fate ahead: the end of the summer. Goodbye shorts and t-shirts, goodbye laying in the sun, goodbye golf (well, that could be a good thing for my fellow players). This year summer took too long to arrive and never got hot enough for my taste. I can only hope that winter will be equally wimpy. But, back to what matters, a recipe to put our ice cream maker to good use before storing it away. Another production of my beloved husband, this sorbet was quite likely my favorite.

they actually had to let the floors dry until yesterday and no one could walk inside, so we are a couple of days away still, but what we saw yesterday was already awesome: gorgeous floor and the frames of the cabinets are looking great in their new color.

Ruth used to bring a collection of ladies after church in Holland for their regular Sunday dinner. It was a highpoint for those ladies for many years. Here last ice cream treat? A Butterscotch Sundae with vanilla ice cream

It was difficult for many of us to keep back the tears. It was wonderful to run into so many friends those last few days and recall times past and our own relationships. My pastor, Blake Blakesley, bringing a resident of Pickering Manor, Ruth Hunter, for a last lunch. My former neighbors in Holland, Clare, and offsprings Grace and Patrick, church friends, Walt and Polly, native Newtownians; more church friends, Ginny and Harry, among the many others. It was a gathering of 50 years of memories with emotions bubbling over as the melting ice cream merged with the tears.

As Fall is around the corner, what about saying goodbye to Summer with a themed party of the seasonal favorite dessert? Personally, ice cream is one of my favorite desserts no matter the time of the year, but I need to agree it becomes even more delicious on a warm and sunny day.

I truly believe that just a few decoration items bring out the theme vibes to your party. If you are like me and love flowers, you can make arrangements using an ice cream cone and place them inside a tall glass and use it as a table centerpiece.

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 U.S. before the two-night stand finale, Nov. 25 & 26, at the Royal Albert Hall.

The concerts were recorded and broadcast by the BBC in early 1969. The recordings were to serve as part of the band's final album. Planned as a double album, with half recorded live and half in the studio, the idea was scrapped in favor of a single LP with one side live and one side previously unissued studio material. Issued as 'Goodbye,' the live selections were taken from a show at the L.A. Fourm. A concert film followed a decade later.

Opening acts on the various tour dates included Rory Gallagher's Taste, Deep Purple and the newly formed Yes. Cream finally reunited in 2005 for a series of shows in the UK and US, which were a huge critical and financial success.
