Me....I remember selling this as a single vinyl in the 60's and the 70's. It retailed for 1 Dollar at that time in Australia.......Memories of my youth......and a few women also............
Imagine yourself back in The Sixties & hearing these guys, Hendrix & The Doors for the first time. I don't have to imagine. I was only a boy then, but these people stimulated & expanded your brain in ways you can't understand & a half-century later the music is still ahead of its time.
When I was a boy about 12 yrs old around 69/70 my dad picked up a young hippy on a dirt track, he had no money and nowhere to stay so dad brought him home, fed him and gave him a bed. My dad was a fisherman and took the young fella to work for a few days so he could earn some money to move on. He had a small portable turntable and a handful of records, one of them the Cream album this track is from, he told me to play them and look after them until he came back to get them. I must of played the Cream album a 100 times. He came back one day when my parents were out, thanked me for looking after his records and told me to keep listening to good music. Whenever I hear this song I think of him and wonder how his life panned out.
You can't forget zz top, those 3 guys put out some great tunes too and the original Grand Funk Railroad, lots of talent in the good old days. The new music sucks for me. My son turned me on to a couple that are okay, 5 horse Johnson and clutch but I still listen to kzel classic rock
I always thought Cream was Eric Clapton but it's not it's all three, credit to Jack Bruce as lead singer, song writer, bass player... what a talent. I was too young to listen to Cream in the 60s but I'm listening to them now in 2023, proof that real talent and great music never dies. God bless Jack and Ginger xx
Jack Bruce....An exceptionally talented musician, singer and songwriter and in no doubt helped Clapton on his way to fame and fortune with Bruce's catalogue of hits produced for Cream. RIP to a wonderfully talented Scotsman.
Wow , you include part of his claim of fame was helping Clapton is absurd on so many levels , cs he deserved as much as Clapton , if you really think he was that great and besides , Im sure his goal wasn't to ensure Eric bought tens of millions of prime London real estate. Masons ONLY goal was to make Clapton a star .
Jack was my favorite bassist ever and a great singer. Clapton did his best work with Jack and Ginger and Blind Faith which is at least one of the greatest albums ever
@@franz909 Don't be such a bag, seriously. It obviously wasn't Jack's goal to make Eric famous, derrr, but Cream did make international stars of all three. And Jack Bruce did contribute more than just a third of Cream's success by the music he wrote. That's all BM was saying, Mr Bag
Well, Clapton was well on his way before Cream. You also have to give credit to Bruce's composing partner Pete Brown as he wrote many lyrics for them with his semi-psychelic poetry. Baker rearranged Sunshine of Your Love that you know today despite not having written it.
Pim , i love your comment , this magical trio of genius blokes did the world a great favour when they got together mid 60s WOW , WHAT UTTER JOY WAS BORN THEN NOW AND ALWAYS , I WILL ALWAYS ADORE THIS VERY FINE CLASSIC , JACKS VOICE IS TO DIE FOR LOL jANE X
Who's listening to this and thinking this isn't from their farewell concert, but a studio recording. Search for that performance at Royal Albert Hall, and you'll hear the difference!
Just love this song. These songs of the 60s may have been written 50 years ago but believe me they are more advanced then the music they serve us today 2022.
I,m with you there ANNA , the 60, 70 , where two golden decades for ROCK AND ROLL, BLUE,S , GLAM ROCK AND QUITE A FEW MORE, it was great time,s . PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND'S.✌️✌️✌️😎😎😎🏴🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Saw them in concert in 1968 saw lots of bands back in the day from 2.00 to 5.00 tickets and Jimi Hendrix was a free concert in Tampa Fl Men’s Garden Club
In my opinion....Eric Clapton gave his touch, Ginger Baker was brilliant, but the band is Jack Bruce. Fantastic. One of the best bass player in the music history
All fantastic I would say.. Ginger brilliant as were all of them! Wonderful to see Eric so young! Each and everyone of them gave everything when they played..
Cream is just an awesome group with music that will take you down that road and enjoy the classic music 🎶 🎵 that they are playing. I'm just happy that they made that type of music with heart and soul 🎉🎉
In my opinion the greatest rock talent ever in one band . The sound 3 people put out was unreal and will never be duplicated again ! RIP Jack and Ginger ! You were giants 1

I'm 68 too, and I miss those times and the great, real music we had, not like the shit that's around today. We had REAL music and I'm glad I lived in that wonderful era.
@@pyotty I'm 64 and was 11yrs. Old when this hit the airwaves late Oct. 1968. Good blues psych! 1968 was a yr. that was the most turbulent; so many social events.

Heard this tune mid- late 10/68 on wfil Phillies famous 56. 1968 a radical yr. caught between 6/67 Montereys concert and 8/69s Woodstock concert. Turbulent radical events from 1965 to 1970-72.
1968. Sitting on the beach in SoCal, my transistor radio earpiece crammed in my ear. Looking at the waves and feeling Bruce's voice and the hot sun caressing my skin and soul. Inexpressibly pleasureful. Thank you, Cream.
This song is one of the best songs ever written and performed.....Cream was renown then and even now their music packs a punch many Rock Bands wish they had.....
I at least got to see them on their reunion tour, greatest concert ever, I waited 37 years for it to happen and it did, and I saw all the bands, from zep , the who , and the stones to name a few
Ginger Baker's drumming with the odd timing and off beats is just awesome on this track, shows off his Jazz roots but layered under his rock sensibilities.
This is one of those few songs that must be turned up LOUD at the stop lights, windows down, so it drowns out the crap coming from other vehicles playing the shit that's popular today.
What a lot of folks do not understand. It was not just the music. It was the feeling, energy, spirit, and so much more. You could see and feel in the sixties. Just walking around the village in NY was a experience. I guess you had to been their to understand! Ps. I was at the farewell show in New Haven. Only feet leaning on the stage from Clapton. I was the one who ran on stage and took a Ginger Baker drum stick. The good old days! No! They never caught me!
I remember the 60s well, too. I was in my 20s. The energy big rock bands brought to the streets and on campus was huge for all of us. Much was going on in the streets. Not all fun and games, to be sure. Rock bands brought us together and helped all of us blow off steam. Great cut!! Thanks:)
The guitar solo at the end. I close my eyes and see the end of a film and the hero riding off into the sunset. I want this at my funeral as my goodbye. Here in 2024
Always one of my favourite Cream songs. If they had done nothing else except this and Crossroads, they would still be one of the greatest bands ever. What a combination of musical talent!
I remember when this song hit the airwaves I was floored! The only word to describe it was “Majestic”. What a great band Cream was! What a fantastic era that was!
Jack was everything in this song, the driving bass as well as the powerful medieval yet soulful voice. But it’s easy to go making Gingers Thumping drums or Claptons mesmerising psychedelic guitar were only bit part players. A clear standout for me is Gingers massive crashing drum crescendo, it underpins and draws attention even to the lyrics and mood of the song. It’s rare to hear that in drums, few can do it, yet combine beautifully with the bass and in its chaos still provide a precise platform for Eric’s finger picking artistry. It all works wonderfully to create a heavy rock masterpiece of a song.
It blows me away that 3 guys can make music like this without computers, auto-tune, multitrack post-production, and a dozen "producers" in expensive suits.
I am 68. It was released in 1968 double album Wheels of Fire. I was 14. Back in the day albums were just starting. A friend had bought it. Back then we were starving for good music. (Today just a click away.) We were getting fed up with pop music on the radio. THEN we heard something like this. I always share the experience of hearing this and other tracks back then. All the music was amazing. (and still is with the AI lyrics and computer generated music of today) Who is here in 2023?
16 in ‘69, I love that I can hear all of the music I grew up with, on my iPhone ! We’re so fortunate to have had this great music growing up. It’s the best of all time !! ❤️~~✌🏻~~🌸 !!
I can say music in the 20th century was about love , the war and even drugs but had meaning if it was rock or jazz or the stuff during the 40s but todays music will never be classics it will be forgotten till the next wave of music which I hope it will have meaning .
Ginger my pirate on the drums…. Absolutely had me hooked at the age of 4, him and Keith were gods! I wanted to play the drums desperately but my father was old school European told me “you love Tull play the flute, it’s not lady like to play the drums…” I’m 57 now and I still tap out on the steering wheel, countertop, etc…
Great to catch up with this again. Stunning track. Jack Bruce - one of the greatest of all time. Watched and listened to him open- mouthed as I prepared to hit my teens. What a time to be young!
@Ellen Adams The powers that be don't want thought provoking or melodic content in music.. The effects of which lead to critical thinking.. Every time I hear this epic art piece it takes the mind on a journey and it's never the same place.. A monumental piece of art painted on the tapestry of time.. There's still great music being played and recorded.. The likes of it are reduced to independent labels and not given the time on the mainstain radios or any format of mass exposure to the general public..
I bought all of Cream’s early albums & put them on casssette. It was 1969 & I was 19. I bought a CHERRY 1967 Pontiac GTO, installed high end speakers, a 100w amplifier, and I cruised while BLASTING Cream. I had SO many girls wanting to cruise in my car. It was, without a doubt, the BEST times of my life. At one point I was seeing 4 different high school senior girls, at three different schools, AT THE SAME TIME!! It was GLORIOUS!! I know the car helped but Cream’s fabulous music did also.
Oh how I love „Cream!“ I remember I was 15years and grew up in a small town in Northern Germany there were two music cafés where this songs had been played (there was still a strong hippie-culture and we celebrated it to ecstasy!💚💜👏🏻)We appreciated that a lot!👏🏻
Taking a trip down memory lane and finding all these songs I used to listen to then. Love that guitar work. It's been a fantastic journey so far. The songs from that era are and will always be epic. Nothing to compare these days.
I am still listening, and do on a regular basis. This is an absolute Classic in every sense of the word. Fantastic lyrics by Pete Brown too. It has just about everything you could want in a good Rock song.
I have been musically educated by my sister, who was 8 years older. This is one of the first things I heard. Got me right away. In 1968 I was 8 years old. What an education I have had. ❤☺😎
In the white room with black curtains near the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves You said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time at the station As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd Consolation for the old wound now forgotten Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
I saw them in a small soda shop in 1968 in Greenwich Village NY. 'White Room' was definitely my favorite. Hard to believe how much music three guys can make!
@@itsblitz4437 no, sadly , the great jack bruce passed away a few years ago. now we only have recordings of that beautiful voice. listen to: "we're going wrong" and "as you said"
Props to the video director on this one. Imagine having three of the greatest musicians of the time and deciding to show close-ups of their faces for most of it.
Steve i love your comment , i too was around in the good old days when rock was created by these fab gents , What utter talent they possessed between them it was utter pure magic lol Jane ps , i adore this classic so much xx
Born in 1959. This song changed me forever. Just 10 when I first heard it, I was mesmerized. The musical landscape just opened up for me after that, and I was never the same.
One of the very best bands ..... we grew up with music that is not seen today when raw talent was required ..........now all they need is a marketable face and technology does the rest ,........
1968 an unforgettable yr..Was 11 when this came out late Oct.1968. Song has drug overtones! But, that what was going on with the Vietnam war raging fiercely on in which my uncle was kia mid 3/68 tail end of tet.
I was blessed to grow up with parents who valued real music like this. We'd have weekend black light dances with great music like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and 45 records playing. I remember this was one of them.

Why does your age matter. Music doesn't have an age limit.
2024 still incredible. Since the 1970 when I was young.

It’s rare to hear that in drums, few can do it, yet combine beautifully with the bass and in its chaos still provide a precise platform for Eric’s finger picking artistry. It all works wonderfully to create a heavy rock masterpiece of a song.
I"m 64 years old and still listening yet Led Zeppelin!...
It blows me away that 3 guys can make music like this without computers, auto-tune, multitrack post-production, and a dozen "producers" in expensive suits.
I am 68. It was released in 1968 double album Wheels of Fire. I was 14. Back in the day albums were just starting. A friend had bought it. Back then we were starving for good music. (Today just a click away.) We were getting fed up with pop music on the radio. THEN we heard something like this. I always share the experience of hearing this and other tracks back then. All the music was amazing. (and still is with the AI lyrics and computer generated music of today) Who is here in 2023?
16 in ‘69, I love that I can hear all of the music I grew up with, on my iPhone ! We’re so fortunate to have had this great music growing up. It’s the best of all time !! ❤️~~✌🏻~~🌸 !!
@@markfromct2 Okay. ~ Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band ~ Stranger in Town album. (From my home state of Michigan). 🌸✨
@@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw Totally agreed Claudia
@@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw I respect Bob Seger! Peace 🙏

Music today cannot compare ... simple, timeless and awesome.
Music today promotes imperfection yet their songs must sound perfect from their laptops and computers, ironic
Exactly
1000% Correct..............
I can say music in the 20th century was about love , the war and even drugs but had meaning if it was rock or jazz or the stuff during the 40s but todays music will never be classics it will be forgotten till the next wave of music which I hope it will have meaning .
There is no music today, just noise
Ginger my pirate on the drums…. Absolutely had me hooked at the age of 4, him and Keith were gods! I wanted to play the drums desperately but my father was old school European told me “you love Tull play the flute, it’s not lady like to play the drums…” I’m 57 now and I still tap out on the steering wheel, countertop, etc…
Good on you girl.
Damn! I'm only 62!! You guys made me feel young. I love Cream!!
You are young. Timeless music 😮
This is true music, absolutely brilliant. So sad two of the best are gone, thank God their music lives on.
The talent these three brought to the table is simply remarkable.
I’m 73 and still love it!😍
Amazing how just three instruments and a vocalist can produce these magic sounds and rhythms! Its jaw-dropping to say the least.
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him....
What about ginger on drums?? Wow
This is music with a long history, and just as great as it was then. Most of todays music will disappear into history, never to be heard again.
This is 50 and truly timeless, I concur
Jack bruce. He was cream.!
already is forgotten
All things will be forgotten
@@zachinabox2951 Maybe by you.
I got chills up n down my spine. Epic. Timeless. Classic.
Excellent brings back memories 74 but this takes me way back
One of the best songs ever performed by one of the best groups ever.
Great to catch up with this again. Stunning track. Jack Bruce - one of the greatest of all time. Watched and listened to him open- mouthed as I prepared to hit my teens. What a time to be young!
Music isn’t the same anymore! In our time it was the best.❤️❤️❤️
Yep
And oh god the fantastic lack of security!
@Ellen Adams The powers that be don't want thought provoking or melodic content in music.. The effects of which lead to critical thinking.. Every time I hear this epic art piece it takes the mind on a journey and it's never the same place.. A monumental piece of art painted on the tapestry of time..
There's still great music being played and recorded.. The likes of it are reduced to independent labels and not given the time on the mainstain radios or any format of mass exposure to the general public..
Best music and best cars too.
You mean in 90's right?
This is when music was amazing! Glad we can still enjoy it to this day!
I was in the front row Oct.5th 2005 at MSG for Cream ‘s final concert, they will be playing at my finale …..it is written
I bought all of Cream’s early albums & put them on casssette. It was 1969 & I was 19. I bought a CHERRY 1967 Pontiac GTO, installed high end speakers, a 100w amplifier, and I cruised while BLASTING Cream. I had SO many girls wanting to cruise in my car. It was, without a doubt, the BEST times of my life. At one point I was seeing 4 different high school senior girls, at three different schools, AT THE SAME TIME!! It was GLORIOUS!! I know the car helped but Cream’s fabulous music did also.
Had a 66 goat with a 400. Moody Blues rocked, but Cream was also in the pocket book.
you're disgusting. - a former high school girl.
Oh how I love „Cream!“ I remember I was 15years and grew up in a small town in Northern Germany there were two music cafés where this songs had been played (there was still a strong hippie-culture and we celebrated it to ecstasy!💚💜👏🏻)We appreciated that a lot!👏🏻
Jeder einzelne war ein Genie 😎
Same here except I was 8 or 9 then.
Taking a trip down memory lane and finding all these songs I used to listen to then. Love that guitar work. It's been a fantastic journey so far. The songs from that era are and will always be epic. Nothing to compare these days.
I'm 67 years old I love this tipe of music
I am still listening, and do on a regular basis. This is an absolute Classic in every sense of the word.
Fantastic lyrics by Pete Brown too. It has just about everything you could want in a good Rock song.
I have been musically educated by my sister, who was 8 years older. This is one of the first things I heard. Got me right away. In 1968 I was 8 years old. What an education I have had. ❤☺😎
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
Awesome lyrics !! Thanks for posting .
Who wrote this ?
this song brings me back to my childhood, my grandpa used to play it on the radio in the car at full volume.
I saw them in a small soda shop in 1968 in Greenwich Village NY. 'White Room' was definitely my favorite. Hard to believe how much music three guys can make!
Could not care less which version this is, Jack was magnificent on any version.
i agree. one of the most beautiful voices in rock.
@@frankwaters8177 he knows how to sing. Is he alive ?
@@itsblitz4437 no, sadly , the great jack bruce passed away a few years ago. now we only have recordings of that beautiful voice. listen to: "we're going wrong" and "as you said"
@@frankwaters8177 man few years ago? Man how sad, I really didn't know how much time can pass without realizing it. Well I hope he rests in peace.
10 ok lo pop
One of the greatest iconic songs ever recorded!
Props to the video director on this one. Imagine having three of the greatest musicians of the time and deciding to show close-ups of their faces for most of it.
i grew up listening to the best music of all time Cream was part of that time long live classic rock
Steve i love your comment , i too was around in the good old days when rock was created by these fab gents , What utter talent they possessed between them it was utter pure magic lol Jane ps , i adore this classic so much xx
I’ve seen all three of them sing the lyrics. Doesn’t matter. Still the best rock song of all time. (I was born in 1949).
Born in 1959. This song changed me forever. Just 10 when I first heard it, I was mesmerized. The musical landscape just opened up for me after that, and I was never the same.
I was born in 1949 and agree completely
I'm with you on that!!!! LOVE this version...
I was born in 1948 and agree with you.
1948
True rock and famous band and excellent voice thanks Jack and cream on the memory of all the world ❤
One of the very best bands ..... we grew up with music that is not seen today when raw talent was required ..........now all they need is a marketable face and technology does the rest ,........
It's not just the playing/singing (which is sublime) but the songwriting!
What a time to be a young rock fan the list just goes on and on and on........
Classics never get old, just so much better.
New Years day 2024 🎉 Still listening to the great music I grew up with ✌
Music at its greatest 😍 Cream you are simply amazing
1968 an unforgettable yr..Was 11 when this came out late Oct.1968. Song has drug overtones! But, that what was going on with the Vietnam war raging fiercely on in which my uncle was kia mid 3/68 tail end of tet.
I was blessed to grow up with parents who valued real music like this. We'd have weekend black light dances with great music like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and 45 records playing. I remember this was one of them.
Ora ho Tempo di ascoltarvi , mi dispiace molto di nn avervi mai potuto vedere dal Vivo , ero una ragazzina , nn ci permettevano di andare ai Concerti , ora ho tempo , sono in Pensione , ma io mi sento sempre quella Ragazza , entusiasmo a ..Mille , Grazie della melodia ,la voce fa sognare ❤
I really liked this song in college when I was 18. Now I am 54 and just learned Cream disbanded the year before I was born. This song is timeless.
Such a great tune with outstanding vocals, percussion, organ, and bass. What memories too, as a boy, listening to my older brother's music.
Agreed William
This is when music was music! You could feel it in your bones and soul!
I saw Cream's last American concert at the old Baltimore Civic Center. I was just 15 and it was my first ever concert. They blew me away!
All three of them are freaking killing it. This is just awesome.
well who is the other guitar player I hear?This is dubbed it is the studio version.
