In 1993, Cream were inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] and re-formed to perform at the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony|induction ceremony]].<ref name="Induction">{{cite web|url=http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/cream|title=Cream|publisher=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame|access-date=26 June 2008}}</ref> Initially, the trio were wary about performing, until encouraging words from [[Robbie Robertson]] inspired them to try.<ref>Eric Clapton said, when they accepted their award: "I have to be honest and say that until very recently I didn't believe in this institution at all. It seemed to me that rock & roll should never be respectable. And then a friend of mine, not so long ago, Robbie Robertson, pointed out that minor and major miracles take place in here. It deeply moved me. I looked at this from a different point of view and learned that a lot can be gained by coming here tonight. A lot has been gained. I've been reunited with two people that I love very dearly. It's very moving. Yesterday, we played together for the first time in 25 years. It was pretty amazing." {{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/32-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-reunions-that-actually-happened-11011/3-cream-1993-229349/|title=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Reunions That Actually Happened|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=7 April 2014|access-date=17 July 2019}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Born Under a Bad Sign by Cream Concert Statistics {{!}} setlist.fm |url=https://www.setlist.fm/stats/songs/cream-bd6ad72.html?songid=43cc472f |access-date=19 October 2023 |website=www.setlist.fm}}</ref> 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.<ref name="classic"/> This performance spurred rumours of a reunion tour. Bruce and Baker said in later interviews that they were, indeed, interested in touring as Cream.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} 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 [[Bruce-Baker-Moore|BBM]] with Irish [[blues rock]] guitarist [[Gary Moore]].
