Two iconic musicians. Sadly never got to see Jack Play live but was blessed to see Rory twice at the Savoy in Limerick. Phenomenal live shows. Been 50 years but hearing this it seems almost like yesterday.
Was priviledged to see Jack in a small venue in San Francisco in the mid 80s, and produced Rory and Taste while VP of the Cal Poly Concert Committee in the early 70s. One of a kind artists, RIP....
Thanks Bud,FUNNY, it might have been the"Hermits"? BUD was Dads nickname. Dave Mason was/is no slouch on guitar,solo,D&B, w/Traffic [jam],n.p.i. ROCKIN ON!!! -thanks
This is a very good groove. Jack Bruce was the real best all-around player of Cream. And Rory complements him better than Clapton did. Rory and Peter Green had the best blues vibe.
The jam never suffers for lack of bottom somehow, even when Jack buzzes around creatively up a little high on the neck. His melodic lines keep you busy & are the equal of the guitar as far as meriting attention without being a distraction from the soloing. What a talent! I'll forever remember him almost 60 years ago singing "Politician" with Ginger & Clapton and holding 10,000 of us hippies under his spell at The Baltimore Civic Center! Jack Bruce! Thanks, Jack!! And, Thanks for your time, here, Everybody!
While in the RAF I got on a train at Liverpool street station and went into the Buffett, to find myself talking to Jack Bruce one of my heroes. I think it was 1970-71, he was wearing a suit that looked exactly the same as the one in this video, he got off at Colchester. around the same time I saw Rory Gallagher, another one of my heroes, and my all time favourite guitarist
So used to hearing people who can't sing, it comes like a breath of air to hear Jack Bruce - immediately takes me back to the Cream days. Hadn't seen a lot of late Rory stuff - total legend, both of them, both played at Cream's farewell concert!
So used to hearing people who can't sing? You definitely need to listen to more music. Jack is great but there are loads, and I do mean loads, of singers that are far better than Jack.
@@jupitermoongauge4055 I agree (especially about the phrasing). Rory was okay, and simpatico, but definitely does not rank with the greats. Jack Bruce, on the other hand . . .
@@mvela1235 Interesting comparison. As I see it they were very different players. SRV took Jimi’s licks and attitude to stratospheric levels nobody else will ever reach. But Rory had an almost scholarly level of grounding in the old folk blues, and he could make the instrument sing like a human being. But let’s face it. Once players reach a certain level comparisons get to be a matter of taste. Every great player has his strong points - and his limitations that other players cover. This is true on every instrument in every genre.
Talent and taste beat "showmanship" and ego indulgence every single time. Flash is good for impressing the punters, but for those who actually understand music, we come to a different conclusion about what is truly impressive. It's not how fast you can play or throwing everything you know into every single song. It's about taste, and the use of space. No one understood the blues any better than Rory and Jack, and here's your proof...
How are they going to compete it’s not a duel they are playing a song and they play different instruments. I know you are echoing what others say but the statement doesn’t make sense.
People with REAL talent don't feel the need to compete with others... If Eric Clapton had been there, or Gary Moore there still wouldn't have been any "competition" simply because all these great musicians liked and admired each other... I mean, you can see the look on Rory Gallagher's face playing rhythm guitar while Jack Bruce is singing... He's genuinely happy to be there...
R.i.p jack Bruce not only where you one of the greatest bass players of all times but your song writing was years ahead of its time cream was three of the best in music coming together and just blowing people away in only a short period of time they where a mixture of jazz jack and ginger and the blues from Eric that made a truly original rock sound
When I was young I was surprised when others did not think Jack Bruce was something special. Clearly, he was. The time was not ripe. This is serious shit.
. That's interesting.....never thought about it ; that does seem to have been true. With Cream, I guess when folks keep repeating "Clapton is God", writing it on city walls (saw it here recently on an overpass while on the highway. Blew my mind it's still being written ), then maybe others get brainwashed into thinking the best one has already been singled out and they roll with it and forget the rest or not give it much credence. For decades I've noticed how many music lovers knowledge of reggae stops dead cold with Bob Marley...... or maybe they dabble a little in some Peter Tosh as well or something like that.. They seem to just have this notion the whole music genre IS pretty much just Bob Marley. Ask them anything else about reggae and you'll get no real reply or display of any depth of understanding of reggae, or say " UB40 makes good reggae",, or something kinda' dumb like that. Yet, they know most other genres much deeper and can talk at length about them. My point, Bob Marley has been sold like a brand It's the number one selling artist/brand for a really long time -- shirts, music, accessories. Go around the world and you'll see the shirt -- I have many times. Well, the banding has been done so well that today when people think of reggae they instantly think of Marley. And the reverse is true as well : Marley = Reggae . In reality, not true at all but people believe it. The same may have happened with Clapton, and Bruce was the victim. Clapton = God. No need to look further. God is #1. Just pondering .........it's an interesting theory. Maybe it's been thought of already. .
@@ShamanKish Yes, in the early British invasion days, other than the Beatles, and Stones, we listened to Taste, Cream, Joe Walsh, the Animals, and Ten Years After, and the Who-----
Legends. What a voice Jack had. What a bass player. Mark on harp. Rory the Master. Amazing jam. The band's awesome. Rory and Jack. Rory and Frankie. Amazing jams. Thanks for this. Epic way to end the weekend.👍👍
Rory looked so bad. I saw himfor the last time around that time, he had a liver transplant and I guess was bloated because of cortisone I guess. Very sad.
Isn't life wierd? As an old jazz/ fusion player that started out with the blues, (who's feeling a bit sorry for himself), this is a tune I've always wanted to 'do my thing with.' I've been thinking of Rory recently (I saw him at Leicester polytechnic years ago. He was bloody great), here we have it all. Synchronicity or something? Thanks. 👍
@@TheMcInturff he's right. Rory's good, and very likeable, but no great shakes in the greater scheme of things. He doesn't remotely rank with the best.
The looks the two legends gave each other at the beginning: Rory Gallagher: "OMG I'm jamming with Jack Bruce." Jack Bruce: "OMG I'm jamming with Rory Gallagher." That's why I admire these two legends so much. They admired and respected follow greatness. Such a great performance.
This is the epitome of blues rock!! These two legends represent everything I hold dear about this genre, and I have devoted my life to promoting blues rock - may it live on forever!!
A mate who thought he was a pretty good guitar player and I saw Rory in Brisbane and came away with our jaws on the floor, I think my pal stopped saying that he was a good player after that,a stunning performance by Rory and his band that will never be forgotten.
...and they spoke of men... Great men of great renown... men who had slain the beasts and conquered the unjust. Men who wielded their axe in service to the soul of Humanity...
When you allow Jack to stretch out on the fretless, you are in for something special. When you've played this tune so many times, you can hardly blame the artist for wanting to play something other than just following the chord progression.
Sadly, his health was already starting to decline at this point. He was such an incredible talent and is still influencing guitarists all over the world including my 26 year old self. I always say that I was "born on the wrong side of time" since I was only a year and a half when he passed. I learned about Rory when I was 19 after seeing Joe Bonamassa live playing "Cradle Rock" on Rory's Strat and 7 years later I listen to Rory every single day
@@RoryGFan-39 he had a fear of flying and was prescribed all sorts of medication for it which, along with his heavy drinking, ultimately took its toll on his liver.
This is what Cream would have sounded like if they’d actually been a band rather than three virtuosos fighting each other. And note Rory’s Albert King reference - “As the Years Go Passing By.” ( Clapton nicked it for “Layla.”) I gotta say it. I worship Buchanan and McLaughlin, Jeff Beck scares me, but I LOVE Rory. Every time I hear him I miss him more.
Eric, Jack and Ginger weren't fighting each other musically in Cream, they were feeding off each other , firing each other up for virtuoso performances as in Jazz improvisation.
Its like jack just wanted that blues power from eric forever... And only got it for 2 years and erics raw emotion fell off in his playing. It shows here how much Bruce liked that raw emotion as roy Gallagher displays here in his dirty style playing. That eric used to show.
I have been play guitar since I was about 12 I'm 61 years old and when I pick up my guitar it is raw and dirty and that's the way I still like it so I guess I'm with Jack on that one
😳….Jack Bruce! Incredible bassist and singer. And Rory?….🤔….well, Jimi kinda liked him. Both have had a huge impact on Blues/Rock, no doubt. Rory probably doesn’t get the level of respect he deserves from Rock ‘n Roll fans and younger generation - new &/or aspiring guitarists - but during his heyday he was highly regarded by his peers.
@@bernardcollins1943 That's a myth usually attributed to Hendrix. It doesn't take anything away from Rory's greatness, of course. But the quote is made up...

A couple comments here; first, Rory appears to giving Jack the limelight here. Knowing how he respected other musicians, that makes sense. Obviously both have mutual respect for each other. Second, as a bass player, Jack is nowhere near the groove that Gerry (McAvoy) was always in with Rory. They were almost telepathic in their playing together, part of the magic.Last, Rory would never have fit in with the Stones. As viewed here, his magic shone brightest when he was live, and in the limelight, not as a guitar player in the background like in this performance. I know Donal and others have sort of viewed the infamous Stones gig as a missed opportunity for Rory, but Rory always did what he felt was best, and obviously he was right. He has left a legacy that will never be surpassed.
@@mahesh29950 Thanks! Rory would not have fit in with the Stones and their lifestyle anyway, IMHO. He never needed to play second fiddle to anyone, let alone Keef.
Totally agree. Brilliant comment. That's one of the many things I love about Rory - his pure respect and admiration for other musicians. I heard that he always queued to buy his own ticket for concerts as he didn't want any special favours. I also remember Donal talking once about how Rory couldn't go on stage for 15 mins after being introduced by Lonnie Donegan. Pure Irish humility! Love him!
You're right. Rory wasn't a side man. Personality wise too, he had no place with the Stones. I think he'd had offers from other bands to, Cream being one of them. Wise decision to stay with his own guys. Rory, one of the most unappreciated and underrated musicians ever.
so sad they and many other virtuoso's are gone,born in 1960,lucky enough to have inherited the music of my older siblings, an era for music that will never be repeated
Now there’s no more good music no more, rap crap & pop, millennials are going down for the worst generation in history now we got the Z gen,, I say Z for Zero gen,, the 0 Gen

@@mahesh29950 Thanks! Rory would not have fit in with the Stones and their lifestyle anyway, IMHO. He never needed to play second fiddle to anyone, let alone Keef.
Totally agree. Brilliant comment. That's one of the many things I love about Rory - his pure respect and admiration for other musicians. I heard that he always queued to buy his own ticket for concerts as he didn't want any special favours. I also remember Donal talking once about how Rory couldn't go on stage for 15 mins after being introduced by Lonnie Donegan. Pure Irish humility! Love him!
You're right. Rory wasn't a side man. Personality wise too, he had no place with the Stones. I think he'd had offers from other bands to, Cream being one of them. Wise decision to stay with his own guys. Rory, one of the most unappreciated and underrated musicians ever.
Outstanding ❤❤❤Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone Always Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸
Boy I miss those guys!
Sad to see Rory getting the Elvis look, pity someone didn’t step in years before, Rory was a lovey guy, met him many times
They could jam 4 ever
What great musicians and glad to have grown up in this era. I remember Cream and remember Rory's IRISH TOUR '74. Hope I get old before I die...
That was absolutely brilliant. It doesn’t get any better. Did they play together other than this?
Love rory ultimate guitar hero. We dont forgrt him
Never mind rehearsing…just play …wow😊
so sad they and many other virtuoso's are gone,born in 1960,lucky enough to have inherited the music of my older siblings, an era for music that will never be repeated
Super Rory(anche Bruce)!!
Clapton couldn't hold a candle to rory gallagher? Where do you come from?
Geez.... no musicians around these days of this caliber
Now there’s no more good music no more, rap crap & pop, millennials are going down for the worst generation in history now we got the Z gen,, I say Z for Zero gen,, the 0 Gen
There's a supergroup name in there somewhere.. "The Taste of Cream"
Rory was awesome with his own take on the bluez
