I don't know the right words to express how powerful this song was back in the day. The vocal harmonies and the massive groove was addictive. I had never heard anything like it......... I played it over and over and over and over again. Godz I miss those days. I was 14/15 years old.
I had no idea. Ohhhh man. He was one heck of a drummer. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Dear God he passed away on my mom's birthday. She passed away in May 1988. Rest in peace Ginger. Ohh man.
Great song and Band...Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker were ahead of their time during the late 60's...Their first 3 albums were amazing. I was fortunate to see them live in Sacramento, Ca in 1968
@@carolynzaremba5469 I know the original post is old. But the man that changed it all. He was in fact ahead of his time. Jimi Hendrix. Just listen to pre Hendrix to the UK music. Then listen to how it all changed. When bands heard Hendrix. Clapton didnt change anything. He is great. But he changed nothing.
This was the song that turned me onto serious rock. I heard it on the radio and called my best friend to listen out for it - but as he picked up the phone, his first words were "Yes, I heard it too!"
Blood is freezing in my veins when I hear this song on a radio. 30-35 years ago when old people were alive, mourners "crying ladies" in Russia were singing funeral songs over a crop with the same melody as the chorus of this song. As I was kid it was stamped into my brain. Rest in peace Genger Baker
All versions of Cream - I Feel Free videos don't have 1M views in total, whereas Lady G's most unknown songs have 10s of millions of views. We are a doomed civilization. This is so good I play it in loop for 10x sometimes.
Here's the thing tho, people do whatever is allowed right now, no matter whether it's safe or reasonable. And I hate that. Not saying you shouldn't eat at places, but act wisely
One of my all-time favourite songs, too. Clapton, Bruce, and Baker combine just the right amount of energetic guitar, tambourine, jazzy drums, and dreamy harmonies on this vibrant, refreshing song. The slow motion, black-and-white footage amidst the park is just so perfect for the sound. The Monty Python-like horseplay adds enjoyable humour.
I've been looking for this song for over a decade. I only heard it once in Film class used for a mafia film someone made. I was watching The Sopranos this week for the first time and this was one of the ending credit songs, I couldn't believe it finally caught up to me in my life eventually. It's funny how things happen like that, and what a name, "I Feel Free" indeed. I even tried humming it for Google tune search and I never could find the song until today.
A timeless classic that makes me so proud to be British. I'm the son of 60s immigrants to the UK and our past music snd culture is so precious. My 15, 11 and 8 yo children love this music too as it's far more superior to what is called music today.
I saw Cream at the "Twisted Wheel" all nighter in Manchester when I was about 17. That was over 50 years ago. I think it was their first show out of London. I can still remember this song despite me taking 20 blue tablets. It still sounds good!
It's so awesome to come here to watch this video for my favorite Cream song and see so many people openly expressing their passion for this music. It makes my heart happy. Yay :)
It was one of the very few times he didn't play his Guitar and you see he's so happy before the Nightmare of Drugs & Alcohol controlled him. I think that him and Rod Stewart hold the Record for being in more Groups than any other person in Music. The Yardbirds, Cream, Traffic, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Derek & The Dominoes and Blind Faith. If I missed anyone forgive me.
I had no idea. Ohhhh man. He was one heck of a drummer. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Dear God he passed away on my mom's birthday. She passed away in May 1988. I don't remember Jack passing away either. Rest in peace Ginger and Jack. Ohh man. Wow, no respect for great amazing music artists. Wow. Sad. Thank you for great music. To musical history. You'll never be forgotten.
Another one from Cream gone. RIP Ginger Baker. You inspired many to pick up a pair of drum sticks and learn to play. "I Feel Free" was the opening song to Cream's first album. What a way to begin the journey.
OMG this is the first time I've seen this, I'm insanely happy. This MV from 1966 was uploaded in 2006, and I'm watching it for the first time in 2024. How wonderful to transcend time. Cream's music is one of hard rock's origins and innovations. I love those young geniuses playing in the park in their dressing robe🧡🧡🧡 A bit Halloween-ish, isn't it? 🎃🧡
Clapton’s guitar solo on this tune is an absolute clinic in how to play a great guitar solo. The opening is soulful and melodic. He beautifully decorates and develops the melody of the song. And then he switches to the bridge pick up and rips your face off. So simple and so brilliant.
Great song! One of the band's best! I like the Cream of the "Fresh Cream" era better than anything else that they did. I wish that they would release a 2 cd deluxe edition of the "Fresh Cream" album. The "Fresh Cream" era recordings rank alongside the classic John Mayall & Bluesbreakers & Graham Bond Organisation recordings of the time as some of the best. Cream really had it together when they made their first recordings. Give it a listen & see why.
Fantastic song, one of Cream's best for me. I just wish the dirty-sounding rhythm guitar, Jack Bruce's great bassline & the one-note pounding piano were louder in the mix.. but they wanted the vocal harmonies to be heard clearly - I guess... a cool vintage 'video' as well (although it cuts the song slightly shorter than it is). Great upload. Thanks for posting this!
First time I heard this was on the BS net...sitting in my OP at a firebase in Quang Tri province....1966. Sun was going down. I hear this and it's like it was yesterday.
While I've liked this song since I was a kid, I still picture Tony Soprano's nearly being shot as soon as this song begins, when the bullet hit his bottle of orange juice, ending the season, but him living. With that and this song accompanying the scene, you knew shit was about to get really real after that!
Clapton’s howling lead guitar and Gingers masterly syncopating percussion with Jack Bruce’s driving bass rhythm and beautiful vocals are an unequalled combination. It’s basically witchcraft, like listening to a band of 6 or more musicians, extraordinary talent.
Eric played it cool - he did not drop his cigarette, even while running crazily uphill in a monk's robes & falling down. Cheers, '62 Mathew St. (Total Retro Rock)
I PRAY YOU'LL HEAR MY FRIEND KELLY PLAY HIS HEART OUT IN LOVING MEMORY OF YOU. HE'S GOOD, REALLY GOOD...R.I.P GINGER BAKER, FEEL FREE NOW...YOU ARE TRUELY FREE NOW. AMEN

This makes me smile.

Amazing song i like White Room too :)
agreed
Yes they were!!
Bold statement, not that I disagree...but you have heard of Rush, right?
Better than the Beatles
What a voice Jack Bruce has!
A superb voice. Great vocal range and phrasing and his voice and a wonderful and unique vibrato. RIP Jack.
Never get tired of hearing this....the best guitar sound ever
when I finally left a job I hated in 2011 this was the first song I played on my ipod when I was walking out of the building
Not true
+Joshua Okwuosa agreed
I was laid off two days ago. It was the kick I needed.
awesome man. i bet it did give you the feeling of being free at last.
Today is my last day at a job I am not particularly fond of....you know why I am here listening to this today! lol.
This was the song that turned me onto serious rock. I heard it on the radio and called my best friend to listen out for it - but as he picked up the phone, his first words were "Yes, I heard it too!"
those were the days...without internet and mobiles....

This tune made me realise I wanted to be free and leave my narcissistic partner, so I did. I will have it played at my funeral.
These days almost everyone describes the ex as a narcissist.

I’ll be feeling like this when lockdowns have finally ended.
Join The Club. I go to The Mall and I can't even eat in The Food Court. So depressing.
I was bopping to this song all day today and thought the same thing re Covid lockdowns! Used to hum this song on bike rides many years ago..

One of those handful of songs from the 60s that thrills me every time I hear it.
There were a few of them in 1966 that were like that. A magic year, perhaps.
Rest in peace Jack Bruce
And ginger
Music videos certainly have come a long way since 1966.....but the song is still as fresh and vibrant as ever!
Thank You for the fresh air that You have brought into this world.Good luck on your voyage to the stars dear Jack.

Have never seen this footage before....unreal....so cool
They all are seem to have had a blast making this video. Eric seems so cheerful and outgoing. So different from the later version we see in the 70s.

One of the best bands of all time three amazing artists
Brilliant and Awesome in every possible way, Rock n Roll at its very finest by a wonderful trio need I say more " COOL BRITANNIA "...
so in love with Clapton in this video i dont even know why

My first concert was cream 1968 St Louis
And now Ginger has joined Jack. RIP Ginger
I was 10 when this came out and hearing it on the radio stunned me. Still does
Das war noch richtige Musik ❤💜❤💜
It is so powerful, my master made a video of me watching it "Tonight they are the best.."
I had no idea. Ohhhh man. He was one heck of a drummer. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Dear God he passed away on my mom's birthday. She passed away in May 1988.

Cream ,masters of rock
I remember the park and area,was 13 when this was filmed!!!
I was born in 1967 - with gorgeous sngs like this one. Thanks! 🌟❣🌟🎶
David Bowie brought me here, and wow! no words.
How did Bowie bring you here, did he cover this?
Just checked, heard his version...didn't like it.
I danced to this song the day I got cured of my impacted colon. It almost felt that I had been resurrected.
lol great stuff
Hell ya say...!
Kick someup Haha awesome!
Just looked through my old liked videos and found this, not disappointed

oh happy days.....all of the world ahead of them....and still one of the best super groups ever......nice to see them so happy....
...on my first day of retirement, and many times since then.

That song was by Blind Faith
One of their best!

♥️ avevo 6 anni..... ho amato questa meravigliosa canzone al primo ascolto.....mi ricordava e ancora oggi i miei sogni più belli......
so long Mr Baker, thanks for the mad beats
Saw them at The Manor House Friday 21st October 1966. Yep.
five days after my 7th birthday. would have liked to have been there
One of my very first musical memories. I was 4. :) Fantastic!
Fun, unpretentious video of a great band!

best music video in the history of music
Amazing song from an awesome band. One of my Sixties heroes.
*MADNESS!*
Wonderful madness.
Absolutely phenomenal, loved Cream, rip Jack & Ginger🙏🏻
Man I love this song! Thanks for posting!
I love how most '60s rock promo films were basically the band running around outside being silly.
Nazz’s promo video for open my eyes is basically that but way cooler than this video.

@@tmamone83 I love TR and Utopia!!! so underrated!
You Haven't Watched Ottis Redding Tramp Clip Huh? That One's A Silly.
Ohh what a page of memories too.
Sounds ahead of it time....the thrashing guitar sound slightly reminiscent of punk sound some 10 years after this
long before MTV and way better.
oh, and the music too!
Ginger Baker spoke to me in a dream last night, He said I feel free ~~
Classic, plain and simple. :]
I like this song and even video. It was before my time. The 60's music is way better than most of the current day music.
