Jack Bruce sounds good here. He was not very well at the time of these reunion shows. He had been diagnosed with liver cancer few years earlier and had a transplant which didn't go well and he had a very long recovery period from that. He had his ups and downs health wise until he passed in 2014 but continued to make music.
I truly felt that this series of shows at Royal Albert Hall was some of Eric Clapton’s most inspired playing of his career. Ginger Baker’s playing is incredible throughout, and Jack Bruce’s emotionally evocative vocals and bass playing equally incredible. They bring out the best in each other... and it was good to see them smile at one another. They were truly lighting in a bottle when they were together. So glad you reacted to this particular song from that show. It was the best of the night.
Three legendary surgeons practicing their musical mastery. What can you say about Eric Clapton that has not already been said? Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, two of the GOATS. The super-est of super groups. 🔥
I realize now it was probably the intent... it felt SO meditative. And I agree especially after all these years the quality of these gentlemen, this song, still amazing!
Thanks for the shout-out. This song was written in the late 60s which makes the lyrics more poignant with what was going on in the world at the time. Also, kudos to the excellent Ginger Baker on the drums and the vocals by Jack Bruce (who had a liver transplant a few months earlier). RIP Ginger and Jack.

Thousands of performances in all genres I've watched for twenty years. This remains one of my favorites.

Love your reactions... and you have a lot of awesome songs on your channel!
Would you mind doing some of Gordon Lightfoot’s songs?
Thank you for another great reaction.
RIP Ginger Barker thanks for this my friend 👍
The album version is FAR better. Jack Bruce was not a well man here and the group were "elderly"
