1967 was such a great year for music. You had albums like Disraeli Gears, Sgt. Pepper's, The Velvet Underground & Nico, The Doors, and Axis: Bold as Love come out
Jack Bruce, the bassist and lead singer, wrote this as a tribute in part to Jimi Hendrix. This was when Jimi first hit the UK like a hurricane. Every rock musician in England came to see his shows. Clapton's use of the wah wah pedal is directly influenced by Hendrix.
And Hendrix loved Cream, too - he famously "broke the rules" on a TV programme where he was playing live by stopping the song he was meant to be playing to break into a cover of "Sunshine of Your Love".
All regret missing attendance at some concert. I’ve got two notable; Woodstock 7/69, thanks to NY Thruway broadcast horrors , the second, any of the three Royal Albert Hall reunion Cream concerts of 2005. Two Cream members now no longer with us
When Cream first started working on this song, despite him being a phenomenal drummer, Ginger Baker apparently had a difficult time getting into the proper beat. It was the recording engineer, Tom Dowd, who suggested he think of the rhythm of a Indian war drum that's typically heard in an old western movie. Once he locked in on that beat, all the pieces fell in place.
Great reaction as usual. I urge you to check out a fantastic tune by Cream ( and my favorite by them ) " Tales of Brave Ulysses ". To say the least, its different.
You should treat yourself and watch Beware of Mr Baker the Ginger documentary from a few years back. Like Keith Moon, he was a real character. Keep up the good work my man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Clapton begins the solo with a melodic quote from the opening of'Blue Moon'. It definitely made my ears perk up in '67, iirc, when I first heard it. Always thought the line was, "I'll stay with you 'til my seeds are dried up." I'm not convinced otherwise, tbh. As to the repetitive nature of it, it IS in fact a modified blues and follows that structure with a chorus that does something completely other than blues. Sonically alone, this was groundbreaking. The virtuosity of the trio also cemented and assured their primacy in the rock pantheon at least until Jimi Hendrix gained widespread recognition for his (r)evolutionary mastery of the guitar, and still their legacy endures.
I think that hazy impression in the song propels the psychedelic sound. Immediately recognizable as 'counter-culture' to the delight of the hip and vexation of the the squares.
Cream, especially with Jack Bruce and Pete Brown writing the songs, along with a number of groups from mid 1960s through to mid 1970s, were mostly art and music college students who knew their British and Irish poets of 19th century and children's literature to 20th century like Peter Pan, Alice In Wonderland, Wind in the Willows, Ring of Bright Water, and, a bit later and from a less likely source, Watership Down. Nothing necessarily psychedelic about it except that reading such poetry and prose while pleasantly smoking would have fitted the mood. Mixing heavy blues with such literature proved very popular with many of my classmates though not quite so much to my taste as someone who was not into such EngLit material
They couldn't get this song to sound right in the studio. Then, the legend, Tom Dowd(look him up), said, "Have you ever seen an old western movie where the Indians are playing their tom tom drums? In the movies it's always the same beat, Tom... tomtomtom....".
The Beatles were the band that brought me to Rock & Roll, and were my favorite band until 1966 when Cream released their first LP Fresh Cream and I heard “Spoonful” and was blown away. They were a tremendous trio and a great jam band.✌️❤️🎶
This was released during my senior year in high school. And that line is I'll stay with you till my "seeds" are dried up, not "seas". Refers to sperm and is in several other blues songs.
My brother idolized Cream. He became a bass player because of them. I think I still have the poster that came with one of their albums, which he had hanging on his bedroom wall.
It doesn't really end like that - the ending had been cut off. Great band. They didn't stay together long, mainly because Ginger Baker (the drummer) kept getting into fights, particularly with Jack Bruce (the bassist). The documentary "Beware of Mr Baker" is an eye-opener and well worth watching. You might want to hit Cream's songs "White Room" and "Tales of Brave Ulysses" next.
It's my opinion, Clapton was the first to realize what Hendrix was doing with the feedback and Vox pedal. So he left the Yardbirds for Cream. The rest of Rock music is history.
I highly suspect you'd love the sound of Wolfmother. They continue the blues hard rock sound into the current era, with style and very memorable riffs.
Greatest trio rock bands in history: Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and Rush...in that order. Cream and the Experience were short lived, but I'm into quality over quantity.
In '67 I was 13-years old and learning how to play drums. This song obviously caught my ear because it is a very rare 4/4 song that accents the 1st and 3rd beat. Go Ginger!!
Apart from Jack Bruce killer bass (in part thanks to classical training), I'm glad you noticed his superb voice. Both Jack and Eric sing alternating the double lines, and harmonising elsewhere. Clapton has a slightly more gritty tone. Jack sounds more "pure". He is singing on the "my seas are dried up" line that you liked so much. Really nails that belting line!
Cream produced some of the “heaviest” music around in 66 into early ‘68. This period also saw Jimi Hendrix releasing his debut album in ‘67, which set the bar even higher 😅for heavy, psychedelic blues/rock. Clapton left Cream in ‘69 because he wished to pursue a more purely blues-based sound (same reason he left The Yardbirds, as I recall) and Cream disbanded. Had they stayed together, it’s my own opinion that they would not have been able to compete with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and other heavier bands that captured the imagination of the young rock lovers of that time. I’m sure others will disagree.
Cream lasted for 2 years and they didn't get back together until 2005 concert at Royal Albert Hall you could react to their whole concert and not get blocked this was shortly before Jack Bruce died
Try listening to this song again and focus on Ginger's drumming. I never did until I saw a Live YT video of this song. Ginger was a great drummer and seeing him playing Live (on YT- this song), it changed my perception of his contribution(s). After that epiphany I looked at more and more of his work, and have come to respect his talent. Of course the band was called Cream (as in cream of the crop) for a reason, and not taking anything away from Clapton and Bruce, but in a lot of these early 60's and 70's songs the drums didn't get recorded at the dynamic levels as they do nowadays, and drummers can go unnoticed, just like your reaction has shown. No comment on the drums, but I totally understand why. See if have the time to check some of his work, it's pretty mind blowing at times.
You should check out the live version at the royal albert hall. The recording is a little muddy but they totally go off and the performance is really really good.
If you are referring to their farewell concert, I have watched it about 3-4 times and still think Jack Bruce's bass on Crossroads is the best live bass I have seen.
Unreal song and album, one of the best of the era. To see what these guys could do in a live setting, try Spoonful, an amazing jam where they all really shine. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Great choice of band and song for another great reaction.! More Cream. Obviously the members are the Cream of different crops all growing the same kind of music contemporarily.
Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker had both played with the Graham Bond Organisation which also featured guitarist John McLaughlin who played on the seminal Miles Davis fusion albums "In a Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew" then went on to form the Mahavishnu Orchestra
I was just a young kid when this was fresh. There was a kind of mystique about it. It's the kind of music we later described as Acid Rock when we listened later on in high school.
My favourite song. From what little I know ... Jack and Ginger come from a strong Jazz background and wanted to make a modern heavy jazz influenced rock band. So, they recruited one of the best blues guitarists at the time 😛😛 i.e. Eric 👍🏼 Thanks for reacting. Check out either 'Crossroads' or Spoonful next time you visit Cream 😁
When I was a kid they used to call this "acid rock" and listen to it under the influence. They have quite a few other huge hits, such as Tales of Brave Ulysses, White Room, Crossroads and Strange Brew. Some of their album covers look cool under a black light. :P
Cream reunited for a series of concerts when all the members were still alive, and did perfect renderings of their hits, with only three players... no cheating with extra musicians. It would be well worth your time to check out their 2005 performance from Albert Hall from those concerts just to see world class players flawlessly doing their thing. th-cam.com/video/UJefbp-s9LA/w-d-xo.html
Eric Clapton's is the only artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times, once for Yardbirds, 2nd for Cream and 3rd his solo career.
No cymbals. Until ,"I've been waiting.." Just came to me. Part of the unique sound of this track. Ginger does it in others. Then he will overplay them sometimes. Ginger played in a style like nobody had ever done. Nobody will. You wouldn't want to. It wouldn't work in any other situation than that one.
Clapton and Bruce are actually trading vocals here. So many great Cream songs to pick from, but you definitely need to listen to the whole Reunion concert in 2005 from The Royal Albert Hall. Especially "Sunshine of your love" where the trade offs at the end are amazing. Cream was basically 2 Jazz musicians (Bruce, Baker) and a premier "Bluesman" (Clapton) created some of the most timeless tracks ever. Here's "Sunshine of your love" from that concert. th-cam.com/video/vyftaay-pFA/w-d-xo.html
The lyrics are incorrect here - It's not "dull surprise" - it's apparently "dawn surprise." I always thought it was "Give you my Dark Surprise" and I still think it might be, because I don't trust any of these lyric websites. Can anyone let me know what that actual lyrics are - not just what you think it is, but give me the lyrics from an authentic original source?
btw, I'm a singer in a band, and never trust other people's lyrics either. When I'm going to cover a song I always type in the "song title (and) lyrics" into Bing (I've gotten the best results right on the result page up top. I copy and paste them into a new text document, then copy the official band studio version of the music to my HDD, then play it in vlc media player while reading them. When anything is incorrect I pause and correct, and I always reformat the way these morons write them out - for singing including marks for accentuation, Chorus, turnaround, pause, bridge, etc.. Then print 5 copies for the whole band. My band goes nutso over the fantabulous way that I do it. lol
OFFBEAT, OFF TEMPO, THOSE ARE THE BEST SYED, VERYYYY PROGGY FOR SURE! :) CREAM WERE IN THAT PSYCHEDELIC WINDOW OF ROCK ( 65-70 ) :) JUST GREAT ROCK MUSIC, AND LOTSAAAAAA GOOD DRUGS, CAN'T FORBGET THAT!
The most views you'll ever get. Stevie ray Vaughn live TEXAS FLOOD,at the El macombo and, Chris stapleton, COLD,and TENNESSEE WHISKEY live at Austin city limits.
I have no idea why Jack and Eric take turns singing lines during the verses? The effect it has is that they're singing TO EACH OTHER, which is not just a little gay. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but this was recorded in the late 60s when being gay was frowned upon, so I don't know if Cream wanted to provoke audiences with a gay song or if it never entered their minds how this song could be interpreted?
One of the lines has been mistranscribed here. " 'Til my SEAS are dried up" actually should be " 'til my SEEDS are dried up." He's singing about waking his girlfriend up to have early-morning sex ("my dawn surprise").
lol I just realised I left the SRV info up on the screen. My bad guys, one man behind this whole operations, sometimes I fck up 😅
Haha too funny. Like seeing the keys in your car as you are shutting the locked door! Love your breakdowns!
1967 was such a great year for music. You had albums like Disraeli Gears, Sgt. Pepper's, The Velvet Underground & Nico, The Doors, and Axis: Bold as Love come out
Don't forget 'Days of Future Past' by the Moody Blues. First true concept album.
Jack Bruce, the bassist and lead singer, wrote this as a tribute in part to Jimi Hendrix. This was when Jimi first hit the UK like a hurricane. Every rock musician in England came to see his shows. Clapton's use of the wah wah pedal is directly influenced by Hendrix.
And Hendrix loved Cream, too - he famously "broke the rules" on a TV programme where he was playing live by stopping the song he was meant to be playing to break into a cover of "Sunshine of Your Love".
I believe you have it reversed. Hendrix was influenced by Cream and Clapton.
Cream was before Hendrix and he put together a power trio like Cream.
Not only are the songs in that album amazing, but that psychedelic album cover is a BEAUTY! I have my record hung on my wall.
All regret missing attendance at some concert. I’ve got two notable; Woodstock 7/69, thanks to NY Thruway broadcast horrors , the second, any of the three Royal Albert Hall reunion Cream concerts of 2005. Two Cream members now no longer with us
Another great Cream song (there are a bunch) Tales of Brave Ulysses
YESSSSSSS! My favorite. It is brilliant.
I always heard “I’ll stay with you till my seeds are dried up”, you know, from his “dull surprise”.
Arguably the finest trio…ever. Sure, there are Rush falsetto fans, but they can’t hold a candle to Cream songwriting and execution.
One of the greatest rock bands ever- great reaction!!!!
Tales of Brave Ulysses is a must by Cream.
One of the most quintessential '60s sounds. Makes me want to throw on a tie-dye T-shirt and walk through a door way that has beads instead of a door.
When Cream first started working on this song, despite him being a phenomenal drummer, Ginger Baker apparently had a difficult time getting into the proper beat. It was the recording engineer, Tom Dowd, who suggested he think of the rhythm of a Indian war drum that's typically heard in an old western movie. Once he locked in on that beat, all the pieces fell in place.
Jack Bruce played a fretless bass.
Great reaction as usual. I urge you to check out a fantastic tune by Cream ( and my favorite by them ) " Tales of Brave Ulysses ". To say the least, its different.
It is my favorite Cream song.
You should treat yourself and watch Beware of Mr Baker the Ginger documentary from a few years back. Like Keith Moon, he was a real character. Keep up the good work my man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Remains the only documentary I've seen that starts with the cameraman being assaulted 😁
Yea. The man was kind of an asshole.
TURN IT UP!!!!!!!!!
Dude, is that a golf or hockey trophy on the shelf?
Clapton begins the solo with a melodic quote from the opening of'Blue Moon'. It definitely made my ears perk up in '67, iirc, when I first heard it.
Always thought the line was, "I'll stay with you 'til my seeds are dried up."
I'm not convinced otherwise, tbh.
As to the repetitive nature of it, it IS in fact a modified blues and follows that structure with a chorus that does something completely other than blues.
Sonically alone, this was groundbreaking.
The virtuosity of the trio also cemented and assured their primacy in the rock pantheon at least until Jimi Hendrix gained widespread recognition for his (r)evolutionary mastery of the guitar, and still their legacy endures.
On a similar note, I used to think the line was "To be where I'm growing,"
Top level drummer is Mr. Baker, maybe the best of that era
I think that hazy impression in the song propels the psychedelic sound. Immediately recognizable as 'counter-culture' to the delight of the hip and vexation of the the squares.
Cream, especially with Jack Bruce and Pete Brown writing the songs, along with a number of groups from mid 1960s through to mid 1970s, were mostly art and music college students who knew their British and Irish poets of 19th century and children's literature to 20th century like Peter Pan, Alice In Wonderland, Wind in the Willows, Ring of Bright Water, and, a bit later and from a less likely source, Watership Down.

Again, Cream is a band to listen to live. Loud!
Favourite track on that album is SWALBR!
This was released during my senior year in high school. And that line is I'll stay with you till my "seeds" are dried up, not "seas". Refers to sperm and is in several other blues songs.
My brother idolized Cream. He became a bass player because of them. I think I still have the poster that came with one of their albums, which he had hanging on his bedroom wall.
"I'll stay with you til my seas are dried up" YEAH!
Given their backgrounds, it was very much a jazz-blues-rock fusion.
It doesn't really end like that - the ending had been cut off. Great band. They didn't stay together long, mainly because Ginger Baker (the drummer) kept getting into fights, particularly with Jack Bruce (the bassist).

I haven't even started the reaction yet and I love the comments in here.
Apparently Eric Clapton based his solo on "Blue Moon". The solo's opening riff is the melody to it.
I highly suspect you'd love the sound of Wolfmother.
They continue the blues hard rock sound into the current era, with style and very memorable riffs.
Fun fact: Sunshine of your Love was sort of a hit song on the radio back in the 1960s.
Fun Fact: it was producer/engineer Tom Dowds’ idea to do Tom Tom drums in the verses.
What's so fun about these facts? Aren't they just plain facts? Plain, boring, uninteresting, meaningless, better to be left unsaid, facts, as you say.
My fact is interesting Jack. What dowd did actually made this song. Just cause your an end of the bell don’t drag others down with your boring arse.
Any good band begins with the drummer
Greatest trio rock bands in history: Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and Rush...in that order.

Yeh. My spouse never recovered after hearing "Toad" through headphones.
Got to do White Room by cream

If you are referring to their farewell concert, I have watched it about 3-4 times and still think Jack Bruce's bass on Crossroads is the best live bass I have seen.
The drums by Ginger Baker are terrific. And the touch of Blue Moon at the start of the solo always makes me smile.
Unreal song and album, one of the best of the era. To see what these guys could do in a live setting, try Spoonful, an amazing jam where they all really shine. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
The first part of the guitar solo (you may notice on a second listening) is the melody of the song 'Blue Moon'.
Great choice of band and song for another great reaction.! More Cream. Obviously the members are the Cream of different crops all growing the same kind of music contemporarily.
Goodfellas! I go there immediately.
Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker had both played with the Graham Bond Organisation which also featured guitarist John McLaughlin who played on the seminal Miles Davis fusion albums "In a Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew" then went on to form the Mahavishnu Orchestra
0:22 Cream only put out 5 albums and I believe one was mostly a live album.
Go find their reunion concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Still, yes still great stuff as you will see.........
I was just a young kid when this was fresh. There was a kind of mystique about it. It's the kind of music we later described as Acid Rock when we listened later on in high school.
Psychedelic Blues is EXACTLY what Cream was. A perfect description.
I thought that was a good phrase too.
Oh, you absolutely need to check out Cream's "White Room."
My favourite song. From what little I know ... Jack and Ginger come from a strong Jazz background and wanted to make a modern heavy jazz influenced rock band. So, they recruited one of the best blues guitarists at the time 😛😛 i.e. Eric 👍🏼 Thanks for reacting. Check out either 'Crossroads' or Spoonful next time you visit Cream 😁
Jack Bruce brilliance
When I was a kid they used to call this "acid rock" and listen to it under the influence. They have quite a few other huge hits, such as Tales of Brave Ulysses, White Room, Crossroads and Strange Brew. Some of their album covers look cool under a black light. :P
Cream were: Eric Clapton on guitars and vocals, Jack Bruce on bass, keyboards and vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums.
I agree with your assessment completely
You’re the best! I enjoy watching every reaction. I’m such a fan.
THIS WHOLE MASTERPIECE 67 ALBUM ( DISRAELI GEARS ) WAS AWESOME SYED! :)
There's a killer cover by Ella Fitzgerald, the big band sound, the smashing out cymbals and the vocals is raw energy
Cream reunited for a series of concerts when all the members were still alive, and did perfect renderings of their hits, with only three players... no cheating with extra musicians.
It would be well worth your time to check out their 2005 performance from Albert Hall from those concerts just to see world class players flawlessly doing their thing.
th-cam.com/video/UJefbp-s9LA/w-d-xo.html
My brother saw that tour in NYC. Raved for days about it. Rest his soul. And RIP Bruce. RIP Baker
Eric Clapton was in awe of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
You did not seem to notice that Eric & Jack traded off on the vocals throughout the song.
Eric Clapton's is the only artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times, once for Yardbirds, 2nd for Cream and 3rd his solo career.
This is before cascade amp circuits. To get this tone, Marshall’s were cranked to deafening level
This was back when you could see on an English wall, "CLAPTON IS GOD!" ... dmoon, Memphis
The band was having trouble with the groove so the producer Tom Dowd suggested a Native American beat on the 2 & 4 instead of 1 & 3
Sorry man. I should have read you're post before i posted almost the exact same thing...isn't that documentary fucking amazing?
Yeah it is amazing. I usually watch it at least once a year.
No cymbals. Until ,"I've been waiting.." Just came to me. Part of the unique sound of this track. Ginger does it in others. Then he will overplay them sometimes. Ginger played in a style like nobody had ever done. Nobody will. You wouldn't want to. It wouldn't work in any other situation than that one.
It was engineer/producer Tom dowd that suggested playing the Tom Toms in the verse. I think it was a brilliant suggestion, baker thought so too.

Try Strange Brew on Disraeli Gears album
Eric Clapton left the group because of this song: too 'poppy for him.
#classics
no snare until the chorus.
👍👍👍👍👍
The bass line and the riff? The bass line is the riff.
Cream had a guy, Peter Brown, who wrote many lyrics for their songs.
OFFBEAT, OFF TEMPO, THOSE ARE THE BEST SYED, VERYYYY PROGGY FOR SURE! :) CREAM WERE IN THAT PSYCHEDELIC WINDOW OF ROCK ( 65-70 ) :) JUST GREAT ROCK MUSIC, AND LOTSAAAAAA GOOD DRUGS, CAN'T FORBGET THAT!
The most views you'll ever get. Stevie ray Vaughn live TEXAS FLOOD,at the El macombo and, Chris stapleton, COLD,and TENNESSEE WHISKEY live at Austin city limits.
Your man cream of your self love
React to White Room and Crossroads by Cream also react to Toad a huge drum solo by Ginger Baker
Criminally cut off at the end.😔
I have no idea why Jack and Eric take turns singing lines during the verses? The effect it has is that they're singing TO EACH OTHER, which is not just a little gay.
Nothing wrong with that, of course, but this was recorded in the late 60s when being gay was frowned upon, so I don't know if Cream wanted to provoke audiences
with a gay song or if it never entered their minds how this song could be interpreted?
One amusing point- you said he was waiting to reunite with his girl... but nothing in the lyrics say it's a girl he's singing to.
One of the lines has been mistranscribed here. " 'Til my SEAS are dried up" actually should be " 'til my SEEDS are dried up." He's singing about waking his girlfriend up to have early-morning sex ("my dawn surprise").
One lyric error:
1. “…to give you my DAWN surprise” (not DULL surprise)
Wrong. Not their most famous or best riff by far. That would be Crossroads.
To really get Cream you need to check out their live material...and NOT the low energy 2005 reunion garbage. Sixties or nothing
It's a little disturbing to learn that you listen to Joe Rogan.
Good grief , if I keep looking, I’m sure my cleaning lady is also doing reaction videos, everyone else is - yuck
not their best song
Check out “The Tale of Brave Ulysses”. Crazy awesome Psychedelic poetry!!! ✌🏼🫶🏻😊
