Cream are one of the bands that changed Rock and Roll Music Forever ! And to this day I have'nt heard a band as good as they were live,even if they were'nt together for that long,I can still remember the year they started as cream and getting their first album for christmas,I played it to death with the volume turned up full and I didn't care what the neighbours said because I still can't lip read to this day,and that's what a young 70 year old headbanger has to say,have a nice life everyone.
Cream was epic. I heard this song minutes after I got my draft notice for Vietnam. Their tunes kept me going through that dark and profound journey. Just read Rs's book CIB 1969 and it is all put in an amazing perspective. Bruce, Clapton, Baker, hard act to follow...ever. Danny the Vet
Because there isn't all the young people listen to this. So-called music called rap and pop. But you can teach me that. I hate that kind of music. But you can teach me how to play that c*** If anybody was so sick, they won't apply it. You don't need a musician. You just need somebody that can keep a little beat. And rhyme some words
@@OldschoolFlaBoy It’s amazing how all the kids I know and my own kids love our era’s of music, yet still these pop type so-called singers continue to bring out this type of crap.

I really don't want to be that person but look at that crowd, no phones. I wish people nowadays could just go to a concert and enjoy the moment and not try to film every second of it. Such a great song
You say you don't wanna be that person, but I wish more people were like you. I work at a venue and it's just a wave of phones in the audience. I get wanting to preserve the moment with a picture or two, but it's happening right in front of you. Just enjoy it, jeez!
Are your ears still ringing? What a piece of rock history to be a part of! If only Jack and Ginger could have tolerated each other for a few more years and albums, so much amazing music in only two years. I know first-hand how Jack and Ginger just end up fighting, at least in my stomach more than a few times.
My dad inadvertently changed my life. We were driving to one of the first Target stores to shop. Dad was a music lover himself but more like Perry Como and Frank Sinatra. Anyway my brother and I are goofing around in the back seat, no seat belts mandatory at that time. Dad is driving and fiddling with the radio dial and….. the opening bars of Sunshine of Your Love come through the speakers. Maybe the only time in my life I told him to not change that station. He listened and I became transfixed with Cream and always will be.

i get chills listening to Clapton here..woah...what a TONE!!! Nobody ever pushed Clapton like Ginger and Jack...literally forced him out of his comfort zone into wondrous tonefull musical historical territory!!!
@@philfrank9226 Amazing isn't it? Never understood why that one-trick pony garnered such sycophantic praise! Love the fact that Hendrix calmly stepped up and took his _WHOLE_ world apart without breaking a sweat.
But they really struggled with the vocals didn't they? For example staying in key, figuring out who had the lead vocal and who had the harmony etc. That never came naturally to them. But those were simpler, more forgiving times, in the modern world, Cream would be be laughed off any stage in any random bar any Saturday night of the year.
The three greatest live bands of all-time are Cream, The JH Experience, and The Who. No one around today can even come close to this level of talent. The one percent of the one percent.
...and to think that they didn't have the internet back then. No online guitar tuition. All self-taught. Jack on fretlesss, Ginger, possibly the greatest drummer that ever lived, and Eric... Eric!!! God Bless you all xxx
50 years have gone by since I first saw these boys play this song live in Chicago. It seems like yesterday, it’s still is one of the best rock songs ever, it still sounds fresh. That’s the true testament of Rock and Roll. That was a style of music that has not reappeared in any form since. RIP Jack Bruce.
Amazing raw power that translated into some of the best sounding music ever produced. Beyond Iconic. They rocked Albert Hall and the World to its’ Core.
I love the way baker played this song.. Very inspiring with the extraordinary beat he made up.. Surely baker is the one of the great drummers in the world...
And a bit mad as well hated Kieth moon Big time ??? Ha 👍 rock great as well 👍 Timeless Gem this concert was as well Still is as well to this day 2022 so
Ginger was very miffed at the lack of credit he got for his contribution to the realisation of this song - slowing the riff down and elevating it from a throwaway lick to classic status. I didn’t realise how good he was until watching “Beware of Mr Baker”.
Cream is an underrated group but they are legendary and they took you on one hell of a musical journey. I'm grateful that i got to hear their music 🎶 🎵 and grow up listening 🎶 to them and join the journey with them
In the UK in the Sixties they were considered the best band in their genre, and rightly so. They certainly weren't underrated then nor are they now among musicians.
They were the Greatest Musicians, the greatest band. I spoke to Ginger after he came off the drugs. He had some stories to tell. But he said his happiest time was exploring the origins of drums in Africa when he came off the drugs. Loved listening to these accounts of his life.
Back when music was music. My dad raised me on this stuff. I was born 79. We've had some good stuff since and some of them were still playing but the stuff back in the day was the shit!
Every concert tour was done w/ out abandon, heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears, we had an amazing time, if you think u enjoyed listening to the show, you have no idea, how much we truly enjoyed being w/ the other band members and producing it, the long hours, the drama, is all part of making this music, what it is today
These guys put most of today’s “musicians” to shame. Not necessarily from a technical standpoint but from the energy, musical chemistry, and improvisational ability. This is flat-out kick ass playing.
All the way from South Africa, I have been privileged to have lived and listened through the time of Cream..and other great rock bands. What a great musical journey it has been❤🎉
People complaining about the commentator and the "videographers".... This was 1968, for heaven's sake, when RP English ruled OK (look that up at the library ;) ), and video hadn't been invented. We're lucky that film still exists - and in colour :D. Thanks for everything, Jack x. (And thanks to Ginger for picking me up from the floor after knocking me over with your rucksack in the Students' Union bar in 1970.)
Good point,Lesly M. I think it's excellent quality for 68! We weren't exactly walking around with movie cameras built into our pocket sized telephones back than. LOL
even Clapton complained about the commentator. He said he was rubbish after seeing the final product of the documentary. He didn't like the editing of this either.
Wow! What else can anyone say about Cream! This is music of any kind at its peak. Like someone just baked the finest cake ever made. I was within feet of Cream in New Haven Farewell Tour. I still have the photos to prove it! Ginger Baker was helped onto the stage and off! What a incredible concert!
I am blessed by a God we don't know of to have a Dad who was born and raised in San Fransisco in 1952. He single handedly taught me about the history of music because of Cream. That he saw live at Fillmore West.
Really lucky we have this you tube supply of the greats from those days because sometimes it’s all I have to make me feel any kind off good. Set a very high precedent if you ask me. Definitely die hard
An artist who lived and enjoyed life on his own terms, sad that he died, but really glad he lived, shared his talent and prospered from it. Thanks, Jack.
I agree with you 100%. Though drugs have taken away so many that we love and admire, drug addiction and overdose is a fact of life and doesn't take away how talented and unique each one of our heroes were. Most of us live life on our own terms and live with the consequences, either good or tragic.
The first time I heard this song was in 1968. I was taking and R&R from Vietnam. I was in a cafe in Sydney Australia. I couldn't believe that three people could create this. What a fantastic group.
I should think so. Jack, Maggie Bell, Alex Harvey ,Ian Anderson .Each , unique , such passion & commitment -superb in their respective realms.Something in the soil & waters ?It makes Scotland even more beguiling and intriguing.
Snuck in to a bar dive. NJ. It was CREAM. Blew my mind. It resonated the chords, the stamina. I didn’t understand what was happening, but adolescence intuition told me this band was destined to be great
I'm 65yo and had listened to cream back in the day, sorry you are just listening to them now I think you have probably missed alot that was going on while you were growing up.
It was their last gig, they hadn't played in England for nearly a year and they had a film crew documenting them - yet they sound like they are at their peak. No words.
@@bttmdweller I agree. The whole guitar solo piece sounded like a mess. Yes Clapton played a solo but to what song I have no clue, it certainly didn't match the song. Baker and Bruce sounded like they were going in different directions.
+JR in the 818 Bruce was one of the GREAT vocalists of the period no doubt. I was just a kid at the time, but damn Cream was the heaviest band I had ever heard up to that point, still love them almost 5 decades later.
+James Scarcelli his voice is so operatic, it's so unique (and goddamn kickass) to use it in a blues band. I absolute love it -- vocally he's probably my biggest influence
The verry best Band of the World. Ich bin ein absoluter Fan von Cream die ich seit meiner Jugend verfolge . Jeder Song einfach ein absoluter Tophit. Zeitlose und wunderbare Gitarrenklänge. Oh Jäääh. Ginger ist einer der besten Drummer auf unserem Planet und Eric wie auch Jack absolute Spitzengitarristen. Ich liebe diese Band und ihre Musik. Danke Cream, Ihr lebt weiter In Eric und in euren Fans.
Harold Bruce is my biker buddy, his Uncle is Jack. One day Harold brought Jack and Ginger into the Bar we hung out in "The Shovelhead Saloon", (Ginger lived north of Colorado Springs where we live, he was near Parker Colorado) I play guitar and Harold plunks around and I rebuilt a trashed ESP for him. He loved it. I also am a rock trivia guy so I am always telling him about his Uncle things he did not know such as Jack wrote this bass line while listening to Hendrix. Jack appears on Zappa 's Apostrophe LP.
I can never get enough of this.. Laugh how they are speeding this version up as they are younger .. While listening to the latest live version , they do it more soulful - as they are older... Just adore this kind of MUSIC !! Sure , I play it .. But not this good..
One Drum. one Bass and one Guitar filled the Albert Hall completely,what an extraordinary event
And one voice.

He single handedly taught me about the history of music because of Cream. That he saw live at Fillmore West.
😅😅😅
August of 1967, the summer of love and the Fillmore was the heart and soul of rock.
I was in 7th grade when this song appeared, also marked my first joint smoked ... etc.,etc. Thanks for the memories
Once upon a time there was an alternative BBC- Bruce, Baker, and Clapton, just one channel, stellar entertainment for 2 years, all sorted.
I've got an alternative BBC right here for ya
Totally bewildering. The ultimate psychedelic band. Astounding.
Jack Bruce is ferocious on the bass wow
And all this as one of the encores.
Cream,is a awesome group and Eric Clapton a awesome guitar player.1968, when I was two years old.💙
This was the day after my third birthday.
А мне-- 18 лет....😊
Just amazing the kind of sound a truly talented trio can create with just two guitars and a drum set...
Really lucky we have this you tube supply of the greats from those days because sometimes it’s all I have to make me feel any kind off good. Set a very high precedent if you ask me. Definitely die hard
I found a gold vein and clicked on subscriptions :-D Regards
An artist who lived and enjoyed life on his own terms, sad that he died, but really glad he lived, shared his talent and prospered from it.
Thanks, Jack.
the Best Time.
&Best music
I agree with you 100%. Though drugs have taken away so many that we love and admire, drug addiction and overdose is a fact of life and doesn't take away how talented and unique each one of our heroes were. Most of us live life on our own terms and live with the consequences, either good or tragic.
gnute9. But!!! lest we forget ....at least it was documented! thank God!
The When, Where, Why, and How of CREAM -- my favorite Rock grouop of the 60's & 70's...to this day! Rock on!!! 🙂 (Y)
It still blows me away today, so you can imagine how I felt when I was missed it. Because I was only born 1966 England winner’s anyway CREAM🍻💯🇬🇧👍👍👍
The first time I heard this song was in 1968. I was taking and R&R from Vietnam. I was in a cafe in Sydney Australia. I couldn't believe that three people could create this. What a fantastic group.
The Cream always comes to the TOP. I play this all the time
Jack Bruce was a incredible bass player and singer Scotland is extremely proud of jack
I should think so. Jack, Maggie Bell, Alex Harvey ,Ian Anderson .Each , unique , such passion & commitment -superb in their respective realms.Something in the soil & waters ?It makes Scotland even more beguiling and intriguing.
Jack? Aasasagh? Jock ist much worser ( ( ,,,( nice Glasgow city sounds x
Snuck in to a bar dive. NJ. It was CREAM. Blew my mind. It resonated the chords, the stamina.
I didn’t understand what was happening, but adolescence intuition told me this band was destined to be great
RIP Jack Bruce. The heartbeat of one of the greatest bands ever.
So super bad ass...love how they speed up the tempo to mind blow, wah going sick...👍🙏💥
Rest in peace, Jack. Your playing in Cream is one of the biggest reasons I picked up a bass guitar. I wish I had the chance to tell you that.
Jack was the man
Imagine if his parents did NOT get him vaccinated? A different world it would be.
+++!!!
Person leaning on stage with the camera owns some INCREDIBLE photos!
I'm 65yo and had listened to cream back in the day, sorry you are just listening to them now
I think you have probably missed alot that was going on while you were growing up.
It was their last gig, they hadn't played in England for nearly a year and they had a film crew documenting them - yet they sound like they are at their peak. No words.
Tbf they kinda were at their peak lmao
Ironically, Ginger said in an interview that it wasn't a very good gig.. perfectionist
@@Mule4ever123 not really. Oct 67 to Mar 68 is considered their peak.
@@bttmdweller I agree. The whole guitar solo piece sounded like a mess. Yes Clapton played a solo but to what song I have no clue, it certainly didn't match the song. Baker and Bruce sounded like they were going in different directions.
Pride, prowess -and love for their fans to give us a lasting memory.
High Energy Classic rock. 3 of the greatest musicians ever.
Cream was the best Rock group, and best live performers ever!
"I'll give you my dark surprise" lol nice.
Check the proto-headbanging in the first row! metal head pioneers!
bart NJ dawn surprise :)
I think its the first recording of people headbanging
Was anybody cooler than Jack Bruce? He was the consummate artist. Cutting edge musician and vocalist, nothing else to say, says it all.
JR in the 818 HIs voice was the Sound
+JR in the 818 he reminds me so much of jim morrison
+JR in the 818 Bruce was one of the GREAT vocalists of the period no doubt. I was just a kid at the time, but damn Cream was the heaviest band I had ever heard up to that point, still love them almost 5 decades later.
+James Scarcelli his voice is so operatic, it's so unique (and goddamn kickass) to use it in a blues band. I absolute love it -- vocally he's probably my biggest influence
+AMP09FH Never looked at it that way but yea you are right. He is def. one of the greatest.
Mr. Clapton's shirt is awesome. 👍 I want one !
I dare any modern pop star to come close to this! rock n roll at its absolute purist xx
The verry best Band of the World. Ich bin ein absoluter Fan von Cream die ich seit meiner Jugend verfolge . Jeder Song einfach ein absoluter Tophit. Zeitlose und wunderbare Gitarrenklänge. Oh Jäääh. Ginger ist einer der besten Drummer auf unserem Planet und Eric wie auch Jack absolute Spitzengitarristen. Ich liebe diese Band und ihre Musik. Danke Cream, Ihr lebt weiter In Eric und in euren Fans.
Harold Bruce is my biker buddy, his Uncle is Jack. One day Harold brought Jack and Ginger into the Bar we hung out in "The Shovelhead Saloon", (Ginger lived north of Colorado Springs where we live, he was near Parker Colorado) I play guitar and Harold plunks around and I rebuilt a trashed ESP for him. He loved it. I also am a rock trivia guy so I am always telling him about his Uncle things he did not know such as Jack wrote this bass line while listening to Hendrix. Jack appears on Zappa 's Apostrophe LP.
I can never get enough of this.. Laugh how they are speeding this version up as they are younger .. While listening to the latest live version , they do it more soulful - as they are older... Just adore this kind of MUSIC !! Sure , I play it .. But not this good..
Clapton does an improv live unique . Hard to believe this was farewell in 68.
