One of the first "Super Groups". A young Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce on Bass and Lead Vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums (RIP). They made some great music during their run. 👍🏻🎸🎶
Sunshine Of Your Love, Spoonful, Born Under A Bad Sign, Those Were The Days...take me back to my time in boarding school, and I would love to see your reaction to those...and more!!
Lots happening on this song. Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton alternate the singing back and forth, Bruce has the more dramatic, operatic style while Clapton is smoother and crooning in style. The opening notes of Clapton's guitar solo quote an old standard tune called Blue Moon.
Reminds of being a boy in the late 60s, camping in my backyard on a hot summer night,listening to a local garage band play this at a free concert in a nearby park. The older teenagers of that time were heroes to me !!
I can remember sitting at my makeup mirror listening to this before going to school at 15. My mind was blown. The riff is captivating. The band is incredible! You can't go wrong with Clapton on lead, Bruce on bass and Ginger Baker on drums. We hadn't heard anything like this when it came out. Wow, thanks for the memory and experience. So glad you liked it and appreciated the musicianship.
I remember going to the record shop in the 60s to buy Sunshine Of Your Love single on 45 rpm 7 inch vinyl . B side was SWALABR (she was like a bearded rainbow) Good days. What a great voice Jack Bruce had (great bass player too). And i love Eric Claptons guitar playing, especially in the 60s. And Ginger Baker added such phenomenal drumming.
In 1967 that guitar tone was different than anything else on the radio. This is the first riff I ever learned on guitar. This was before Led Zeppelin, and Eric Clapton's guitar playing with the Cream, which combined a distorted guitar sound with variations of blues licks, became the prototype for all that came after. Eddie Van Halen and many others learned Clapton's stuff note for note when they were learning to play. As Cream were writing this song in the studio, producer Tom Dowd suggested to Ginger Baker to try the kind of drum beat you might hear signifying war drums being played by the Native Americans in western movies ; so that's where the accents in the drum part came from.
Jack Bruce on bass and Ginger Baker on drums were the rhythm section. They’re both gone now. RIP both of them. We’re going through a time in which we are losing more and more of our musical heroes.
Hi Savio and Kirti, thanks for this you guys are probably the hardest working reviewers out there, authentic, relevant and honest. Though Zappa May have turned in his grave when you compared him to Cream haha, anyway I too am a counsellor in Canada 🇨🇦 much love and respect from the land of the ice and snow
IN the late 60's, THE super-group. Eric Clapton on Lead. -----------Jack Bruce on bass.------------Ginger Baker on drums. ------------This was like, musical god ! -------Clapton on his " Strat " --------Fender Stratocaster Guitar.----------------------------Wolfsky9, 73 y/o
Not sure if this is your first Cream song, but suggest either Tales of Brave Ulysses, or Deserted Cities of the Heart as your next one. Jack Bruce was ridiculously underrated for both his bass and singing prowess, but is what happens when you are in a group with two other monolithic musical figures. Like Alex Lifeson of Rush.
It's interesting that you've mentioned Black Sabbath, in Ozzy's book he stated that he read a review for the first Black Sabbath album shortly after it came out (Feb 1970) and the reviewer mentioned that Black Sabbath sounded like Cream but worse, Ozzy said he found that really funny because he thought Cream was one of the best bands he'd ever heard.
A great song from a great band. Sadly 2 out of 3 band members have died. Jack Bruce, bass & vocals, and Ginger Baker, brilliant drums have left our mortal plane. Eric Clapton is the last man standing. Funny that. It's usually the guitar leads that live fast & flame out. Mr. Baker, drums, just passed in 2019. If you're interested in his earlier genuis drumming then listen to "We're going Wrong" from the Disreali Gears album, also by Cream
Legendary band that had a short run unfortunately....at least Clapton continued with Blind Faith....so I completely recommend "Can't Find my Way Home".....Steve Winwood on vocal is absolutely gorgeous.
This is classic. Can’t get no better than this three piece band. The Cream of musicians in the late 60s hence the name Cream

Oh yeah, there it is! 60’s Blues Rock par excellence! Cream, one of the greatest bands ever assembled
A happy Savio is a good thing. Cream only lasted for 3 years but their impact will last, I think, forever. Great reaction as always by you two!👌
Sunshine Of Your Love, Spoonful, Born Under A Bad Sign, Those Were The Days...take me back to my time in boarding school, and I would love to see your reaction to those...and more!!
That's a great reaction my brother ..glad you enjoyed it

For 1967, you have to wonder where Clapton pulled that solo from. The album its from is Disraeli Gears btw.
Cream. First supergroup!
Awesome classic blues rock song from 1967🎐 Super reaction Enoma 💎
This song is so good- Ella Fitzgerald even recorded it!

love Cream, thanks guys.
Clapton said no one laid down a beat like Ginger Baker . I agree. Very primal drummer.

Cream was awesome! My favorite Cream song is "Deserted Cities of the Heart."
Give you my dawn surprise! Yess!
Cream had a very short but very productive and creative lifespan, about two years, but what a ride.
Love you guys!💖💖💖👍👍👍
Susan, Katie, and Leslie: 'I'll be with you Charlie, now....I'll be with you when the stars start falling....'

i got you
I remember that scene in Goodfellas.

We only lost Ginger Baker last October....a truly great drummer.
But a slug of a human being
@@swinetrek ??
Iorn Butterfly. In-Gadda-da-vida. Long song 18 min but came out same time sunshine of love came out
THE guys can Play!!
The drummer Ginger Baker used a double bass setup. It helps give the song its heavy sound.
This song was intense!
Great song!

I'd like to see your reaction to "Tales of Brave Ulysses" by Cream. A lot of references to Homer's "The Odyssey".
Great psychedelic music from the 1960s!
Sounds like Derek and the dominoes lol. This song is fantastic and heavy. Clapton became something else when he split with ginger baker.
A great song from a great band. Sadly 2 out of 3 band members have died. Jack Bruce, bass & vocals, and Ginger Baker, brilliant drums have left our mortal plane.

The psychedelic rock Is the best, try with 13th floors elevators !!
Luckily we only missed the last 20 seconds where Eric plays the same chord over and over. We heard the best part !
Try white room by Cream
Jimmy Buffett- son of a sailor
Legendary band that had a short run unfortunately....at least Clapton continued with Blind Faith....so I completely recommend "Can't Find my Way Home".....Steve Winwood on vocal is absolutely gorgeous.
Eric's women tone is supernatural 🎸🎸🎸
Jack, Eric, Ginger...... nuff said
You need to do Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
Mr Baker
Not sure that version wasn't an outtake. The mix doesn't feel quite right. Could just be me also. For sure. Love your reactions.
“White room”
