It won't...so get your tickets for NYC if you want to see them.

Clapton did a blistering version of White Room on the Sheryl Crow Central Park CD (same one that Stevie sings Gold Dust Woman on). That's a Cream song.

Cream In The U.S.A.
Updated 14:28 PDT Tue, Sep 06 2005

After four hugely successful nights at London's Royal Albert Hall and weeks of speculation, Cream has announced three shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The October 24 -26 shows are reportedly the only U.S. dates for legendary rock group comprising Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton.
The concerts will be produced by Ron Delsener Presents and tickets will be available in advance to American Express card holders. through a special pre-sale starting September 12 at 9 a.m. The early tickets can be purchased via ticketmaster.com and there will be a four ticket per person limit.
If tickets remain, they will then go on-sale to the general public on September 19.

Cream formed in 1966 and disbanded in 1968. In less than three years, the band produced three seminal studio albums, Fresh Cream (1966), Disraeli Gears (1967) and Wheels of Fire (1968).

The band toured incessantly and its concerts were legendary. Prior to the Royal Albert Hall shows, the last time the band played together was in 1993 when the group was inaugurated into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

there's a chance this may happen (Hell, Queen + Paul Rodgers are planning on playing about 30 US dates next year...The public reaction to the 2 US shows, One on each coast has been great!)
