Do yourself a favor: go to the library and get the Clapton and Ginger books that they wrote. Fascinating reading. Ginger was a heroin drug abuser almost his entire life, certainly during TOAD. Think about that !! I'm a drummer so it's not just the hands doing the playing, it all starts with your brain. Ginger's brain was fried yet he could put it together and create genius drumming. I bought the "Wheels" album in the day, the guy was a God then and it makes me appreciate his playing today. Pretty amazing stuff and not boring.

Theme On A Drum =TOAD

Wtf are chillens?

So overrated. "Ginger Baker's boring, overindulgent playing sounds like someone dropped a cardboard box down a flight of stairs." - Buddy Rich

One of I think two songs on the album that definitely were Gentle Giant songs. Pop yes, but I don't think any song of the era would have used twin, overlapping vocal lines or an organ reprise.

Drum Solo so out of this World good that made even Buddy Rich jealous of Ginger Baker. Incredible out of this World ahead of its time that 1966 had music like this and Tomorrow Never Knows from the Beatles. Astounding how fast change in less than three years music goes from sounding like Bobby Vinton "Blue Velvet" and the Tymes "So Much In Love" to sounding like this and the Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows"

Charlie M!?!?!?

"We even stuck ice picks in his balls."

I still have this album but have not listened to it in ages. I have forgotten how different this is from the original. Both are so striking but this is so different in mood.

Gorgeous gorgeous tune on the last true GG album.

Heard this watching Casino now I can never hear it the same way again

Charlie M? Charlie M?! You make me pop your f***ing eye outta your head to protect that piece of sh*t?!?!

Does it get any better than this for power trio rock?

Sounds great!

You can hear here the one from whom Ginger Baker (and others of course) got his musical werewithal. Amen?

Ginger did well with the "sustenance in the Earth" that was promised long ago. Read 2nd Chapter Genesis. Black Life Matters! Black Life was the source of the aforementioned "sustenance in the Earth." But when that sustenance was first prophesied people were not "Black" and "White". Instead back then people either knew what they were doing (and who they really were) or they did not. It was (and still is) those who knew (and still know) what they were (and are) doing in Earthly life who were (and still are) sustenance in the Earth to those who knew not (and still know not) what they were (and are) doing in Earthly life. Amen?

SAVING MY LIFE

Honest and lovingly observed musically as Gentle Giant only can do.

They funky!!!

As always love and respect!

I am so glad to find out about this album, since I am a Cpt Beefheart fan. Also, I find vocals and vibe very much resembling of Groundhogs, which I also like very much. Anyway, I appreciate high quality of this album. Thanks!

Shitty solo

sitting on top of the world!

RIP Charlie M

RIP Tony Dogs and Charlie M

I'm here because of Woody

mono? the opening drum beats dont sound like it

max's solos will live forever!

In loving memory of Tony Dogs

GINGER WAS MORE THAN JUST A GREAT DRUMMER, HE, CHOREOGRAPHED EVERYTHING, TIME, AND WAS THE BANDS LEADER

The rest of the song fails to live up to the first 30 seconds but those 30 seconds are 10/10

Even though I now spend all my time drooling over beautiful KDrama actresses who I binge-watch on Viki, eating Doritos upon hearing Clapton's feedback solo on Toad along with the Beano album and Peter Green's Supernatural makes me want to get the new Marshall 20W JTM head through a slanted 2-12 Celestion Greenback cab. Add a Gibson 64 re-issued SG along with a Vox Wah and I'll be set. Now if I can only find a local Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. But until then, back to drooling ...

🥁 🥁 🥁 RIP. Drumming. In Heaven

_To be truthful with you, I admired this guy. He was one of the toughest Irishmen I ever knew. This son of a bitch was tough. For two days and nights, we beat the shit out of this guy. I mean, we even stuck icepicks in his balls..._ "You better hope he gives me a fucking name, or I'll give 'em yours!" "Gee, thanks a lot, Nicky..." "I know _you_ would've ratted me out by now, Frankie!" _But, he wouldn't talk! So, we had to stick his head in a fucking vice..._ "Dogs, listen to me. I got your head in a fucking vice. I will crush your head like a fucking grapefruit, if you don't give me a name. Don't make me have to do this, Dogs! Don't make me be a bad guy! Come on!" "...F...fuck you..." "This motherfucker! Can you believe this?? Two fucking days and nights... "Fuck me?!" *_"FUCK ME?!" YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!! "FUCK MY MOTHER?!" THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME, HUH?!?!? GIVE ME THE FUCKING NAME!!!!!_* " "C-...Charlie M.!" "... _Charlie M.?_ " "Charlie M.!!" " *_CHARLIE M.?!?! YOU MADE ME POP YOUR FUCKING EYE OUT OF YOUR HEAD TO PROTECT THAT PIECE OF SHIT?!?! CHARLIE M.?!?!?! YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!_* " "K...K... ill me, you... fuck!" " _Kill you?! _*_FUCK YOU!!_*_ Frankie!! Do him a fucking favor!! ......Tch! Charlie M.!_ "

Ginger Baker best drummer ever!

The word got around that finally there was a real gangster in town. Nicky was the new boss of Las Vegas.

stick-in-the-mud BAP! stick-in-the-mud BAP! So cool!

I watched a tv show that had Ginger and Buddy Rich together for a drum duel. Afterwards, Buddy said that Ginger was one of the best drummers he had ever met. Additional comment: The first time I saw Ginger live was on the Ed Sullivan show. Ginger played this piece. Afterwards he collapsed behind the set from exhaustion. I immediately fell in love with this fantastic artist. Went out and bought "Disraeli Gears and Wheels of Fire albums." As a kid I was pretty good at drums, even though I was left handed. Too many drummers at school band so I went on to trumpet and then French Horn. Been a musician for most of my life. Now am old and frail, but I still have my love of music. RIP Ginger...miss you man.

For the most part I hate drum solo songs but this one is actually pretty good because he doesn’t get too overindulgent and mostly stays on beat. He’s also got a background playing jazz so he’s got more to show off than most rock drummers skill wise

Brilliant Robert Johnson Song,done so well in a modern sound by Cream~Great vocals by Eric🎙🎼🔝

Led Zeppelin ripped this off with Moby Dick

October 1966 Cafe Au Go Go Bleeker St. Greenwich Village New York New York USA second set. Clapton's Marshall amplifier blows and the one they bring down (the club was a walk down below the sidewalk level) Eric doesn't want. An hour goes by, the crowd thins out and finally, the band is ready. Jack Bruce apologizes and says "Thank you for staying, we are going to make it up to you." Ginger did about a half an hour solo on Toad, when we got out of the club and the sun was coming up, The only other Rock experience in my life that I can compare it to was Woodstock. Three incomparable musicians tightly wrapped and on fire.

I know that Harkleroad had a hand in arranging both versions, but I much prefer the intensity of the Decals' take to this pastural meditation. I am 75 years old now; I decided in my early twenties that I would have the original Peon played at my funeral as a way to express the tragic grandeur of life and death. Haven't changed my mind in all that time.

That chorus is so very creative and fun! :)
