In 1993, Cream were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and reformed to perform at the induction ceremony . Initially, the trio were wary about performing, until encouraging words from Robbie Robertson inspired them to try. The set consisted of “Sunshine of Your Love”, “Crossroads”, and “Born Under a Bad Sign”, a song they had previously played live just three times. Clapton mentioned in his acceptance speech that their rehearsal the day before the ceremony had marked the first time they had played together in 25 years. This performance spurred rumours of a reunion tour. Bruce and Baker said in later interviews that they were, indeed, interested in touring as Cream. A formal reunion did not take place immediately, as Clapton, Bruce, and Baker continued to pursue solo projects, although the latter two worked together again in the mid-1990s as two-thirds of the power trio BBM with Irish blues rock guitarist Gary Moore .
