The guitar solo still gives me chills. Clapton, Bruce and Baker at their best. Free form progressive blues jamming.
Well said!
Brings back good memories doesn’t it. God bless these two
And then there will be "Blind Faith"...1969.
That makes Cream's live performances take on more of Jazz form. Improvisation was not playing much of a role in the Rock genre at the time.
@@giuliogrifi7739 I heard "Blind Faith" in concert. They opened with "Crossroads". The tempo was slower. Plus, Jack Bruce wasn't there. Clapton, Winwood and Baker killed it, however.
You two are the cutest, sweetest couple! 😊
Since you asked, Eric Clapton was arguably the first to put together stock blues riffs, jam them together and speed them up. His discography is very long and rich, and he's always best sampled live.
That's a 3 piece band! Live! No special effects. No computerized sounds. Just 3 guys jammin'!
This has been my No.1 favourite song for over 50 years, without exception. Clapton, at his peak; Baker, right on his game; Bruce, the best bass track you will ever hear, and remember this is live. This recording is so good, couldn't get any better, I'm pretty sure there was never a studio recording released of this song.
Cream was the original super band power trio! They were only 3 guys!
killer bass. RIP Jack Bruce.
It was fun to watch the 2 of you sway in perfect unison
Looking for the beginning, try sister Rosetta Tharpe " up above my head"
Your are totally right, and just check an original. And baby you missed focusing on Jack Bruce's bass on this. He is epic👍🏼💓💓💓
Originally titled "Cross Road Blues" and written and recorded by Robert Johnson back in the mid-1930's in Fort Worth.,Texas. Eric Clapton heard the mono record of Robert and his acoustic guitar and he knew he had to record it. Johnson wrote 29 songs in his short career, he was the first modern member of the 27 club, and every one of them has been recorded by other artists. Hear what inspired Eric Clapton, Keith Richard, Robert Plant, Mick Jagger Jimmy Page, and a few other folks. Play the original.
This was the very first album after landing in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and it made my 4 years go a lot smoother at times! Thank goodness for Cream!
Thanks for posting this. Addendum to it. The movie "Crossroads", with Ralph Machio is loosely based off of this tail. Most notable is the epic guitar duel in it. th-cam.com/video/tXfZtlAPUNc/w-d-xo.html
It's been said that Machio deserved an Oscar for acting like he could play the guitar and Vai did for acting like he didn't. 😂
....Jeff Beck, Mick Taylor, Eddie Van Halen, Peter Green, and the rest of that generation of guitarists. Clapton changed everything forever after with this one song. No joke.
Eric Clapton was definitely right there swinging a hammer with some others when the bridge from blues to rock was built.
Clapton's soft home counties vocal let cream down - the other elements were all there.
A lot of American servicemen were leaving old American blues records around England, where they were stationed. This had a big influence on some of the local kids (like Eric Clapton). Combine that with the new technology (easier to play guitars, louder amps, electronic effects) and you have a lot of the blues into rock story right there.
In Liverpool, there was an active market for American records sold by sailors out of the NATO naval base. The Beatles’ first teenage conversation with a black man was supposedly initiated with “Thank you sir for helping defending our country. Do you have any records for sale?”
@@Roikat No scouser uttered that Dickensian jive.
@@cahillgreg indeed, their idiom would likely have been more Liverpudlian, but I have no idea of what a scouser is, so I rendered it in the way I heard the story. English stories told in America are generally Lord Granthamized.
@@cahillgreg They were Grammar School lads, posh boys with flexibility and control.
No American servicemen would have brought a Robert Johnson single over to Europe. Johnson was very obscure. Indeed, I knew of Robert years before it was possible to hear him, in the UK, on record. The first time a Robert record was available in the UK was 1962? Also, after Robert's original recordings were released in the 1930s, it wasn't until the 1960s that any of his recordings were made available again in the US.
Regarding how the blues became rock, Sister Rosetta Tharpe recorded some of the earliest examples of what would later be called Rock n Roll in the early 40's. The merger of gospel, blues, and boogie woogie can be heard clearly in her awesome catalog. And she played a mean electric guitar!
Once you're used to Clapton's solo, pay attention to Jack Bruce supporting him like a madman on bass. They were called Cream for a reason.
That bass line is one of the finest ever played. Bruce matches Clapton almost note for note.
The cream of the crop.
I love Jack Bruce in this song. The man was an astoundingly good bass player 👍
It’s such a spare sound, you can hear everything. A fine bass line from a fine bass player
Not to mention just how much Ginger’s drumming fills in the gaps while still holding down a rock solid beat that meshes perfectly with Jack’s bass.
You guys should react to…
Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love
🎸🤘
Chuck Berry took the Blues, added some swing, and created Rock and Roll. It evolved from there, with much help from certain British bands like The Graham Bond Organization, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds, The Animals, into Rock.
Dylan then took his original folk lyrics, expanded them into more introverted and poetic observations and commentary, and injected them into the then-current Rock forms, now adapted to accomodate his lyrics and subject matter, which The Beatles and The Kinks, importantly, picked up and spread, while The Who acted out, physically, the growing teenage angst and frustration, and then Hendrix began experimenting with the guitar and the sounds it could make while bringing a jazz influenced sound to Rock, and Cream experimented with the boundaries of the Blues as a form.
This is a gross simplification, mind you, but it does provide a bit of a starting point for further exploration.
The funny thing is, Chuck Berry said in an interview that he didn't like the Blues all that much. Basically said it wasn't really his vibe and that he was more of a jolly type of person. He'd do pure Blues numbers live occasionally. His accessing of the Blues came more through his love of uptempo Jump Blues.
The Graham Bond Organization is sadly neglected these days by many people ; an outstanding group
And soon after followed Hendrix and Blue Cheer. And hard rock was invented. The came Sabbath, and then a bunch of other groups that followed. Cream opened up the doors to it all.
Bon Scott summed it all up in 4 immortal words: Let There Be Rock!
Great Cream song. Check out Sunshine of Your Love.
You really nailed it on the blues to rock transition, Cream and Led Zeppelin both did a lot of blues covers that made that transition.
Without the Blues of the 20's, 30's, and 40's. There would be no rock n roll of the 50's, 60's, and 70's!
Sister Rosetta Tharpe's guitar wizardry created the "lead guitar" role of modern rock & roll. Chuck Berry morphed the blues into the rock & roll sound (along with Little Richard as a masterful pianist), while their contemporaries, Muddy Waters & Bo Diddley, created an electric blues that opened the door for the likes of Clapton, Hendrix, Page, and Beck to revolutionize the rock sound.
Amen!😁❤✌
Lex was wondering who was the first to make a blues song rock. There is a legend, recounted by Greil Marcus, I believe, that Robert Johnson himself, on occasion,played
live in some juke joints with drums and bass. If true, Marcus, suggested, that might just be the first rock and roll band. Playing live, in the 1930s. Fun to think about.
Great cover of the Robert Johnson original. Cream was one of the very first super groups.
Brad & Lex, their "Badge" and "Strange Brew" are next for you!
Absolutely agree!
And Tales Of Brave Ulysses and SWABLR.
Badge and White Room are two of the best
Yes! Good call
It was just like evolution,it happened.these people led the way. someone had to.
British rock in the 1960's was heavily influenced by American blues. Hell, Pink Floyd is named after 2 blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council...
And there we have it people, Eric Clapton confirmed as the greatest, wailing on a solo AND BRAD IS SMILING 😃🤟😃 Brilliant
In my humble opinion their best song
Finally - one of the greatest live performances in rock history.
The British Invasion actually brought Blues into the mainstream by blending it with Rock. Rock n Roll evolved from Swing, Rhythm and Blues.
American blues inspired the British and the British playing American Blues inspired the world
Elvis Presley good sir. Elvis. He came way before the brittish invasion.
@@bugvswindshield yeah I lump Elvis and with the American blues. Most of the British artists were inspired by Elvis and Buddy Holly and Little Richard and Chuck Berry and the great bluesman.
The Brits done took our blues and made a whole new vibe, and they did it so well. Thank you Brad for just listening and thank you sweet Lex for always being so damn cute!! 👍❤🤙
Jack Bruce is a genius Scotland is extremely proud
The bass riff in this song is one of my favs. Jack Bruce absolutely kills it on bass👍and of course Clapton’s guitar 🎸
Don't forget Ginger Baker on drums..
Playing counterpoint melody and bass at the same time. What a monster!!
No wonder that Jack Bruce later worked with jazz giants like John McLaughlin or Carla Bley.
Check out their song POLITICIAN. That is one heavy blues rock song by CREAM.
I am blown away at the fact that I have been watching ypu guys for a while. Doesn't seem like that long, but you guys have covered so much unfamiliar music. To see you react to Crossroads and Lex talking about Layla andcThe White Room, very impressive has your journey has evolved. Hope you two have enjoyed it as much as me watching your videos.
"White Room" was made when Clapton was with Cream, while "Layla" was done by Clapton when he was part of Derek and the Dominos. Regardless, "Crossroads" has one of the greatest guitar performances ever recorded.
And it (Layla) was about his good friend George Harrison's wife, whom he stole, for lack of better terminology........as was "Wonderful Tonight". Naughty-naughty, Eric, haha!
Best bass line ever... Bruce was ripping it.
You guys finally got to this foundational reworking of the Robert Johnson blues classic. This aggressive hard rock sound, along with Hendrix together changed the game in the late 60’s. The greatest 4 minutes of live music, from the era.
Wow such a great classic rock & blues song! The Cream were one of the first real 'super groups' and Eric Clapton's guitar combined with Ginger Baker's drumming and Jack Bruce's bass are mind-blowing!! Another great example of the heavier rock sound of blues is 'Going Down' by Freddie King in 1971, you guys should check it out :) 🙏👍
The Jeff Beck Group did a nice, worthy cover of "Going Down." Hard rockin' blues.
Great though they were, I think the successor to Cream - 'Blind Faith', when Steve Winwood and Ric Grech joined Eric and Ginger was the first real 'Supergroup' although that's an argument that could go on for ever!
@@Itelkner & Luther Allison
This song was originally done by Robert Johnson in 1936. You should check out his version.
Robert Johnson--- The Original-- sold his soul at a crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi
In return he got his guitar skills.
Archivists have debunked that fable in several books about the Blues. It was actually Tommy Johnson, an earlier singer/guitarist, who claimed to have sold his soul to the devil. Robert never claimed that, but after being gone a year to Arkansas, and coming back much more highly skilled at guitar, than when he left, his contemporaries speculated that, being the reason for the rapid improvement in skill. ✌😎 Tommy Johnson actually called himself "the Devil's son in law".
@@ramblerdave1339 Weren't they cousins?
@@euanthomas3423 I think I read they weren't related, but my reference material was loaned, and hasn't found it's way home.🥴✌
This song is cream praying homage to the great blues legend of Robert Johnson, who legend has it sold his soul at the crossroads.
Robert Johnson did write it.
@@GivnoFyux444 Yes he did this is Creams Cover of it with a few lyrical changes but the music is the same
Both bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger ‘Peter’ Baker were originally jazz musicians, who had played together in the Graham Bond Organisation, whereas Eric Clapton was from a blues tradition musically, so the improvisation from jazz became mixed with blues songs and in their own compositions. Jack Bruce had trained as a cellist and also played double bass, piano, organ, acoustic guitar and harmonica. Jack wrote most of Cream’s original songs along with poet Peter Brown, but both Ginger and Eric also made song writing contributions. My favourite band ever, but such a shame they only lasted about two years, and I don’t think Eric ever captured that raw, energetic guitar playing just full of emotion. I was a teenager in the 1960s, so they were the group who illuminated my brain musically and helped make me investigate other areas.
Speed it up a little more, tweak it and throw in some attitude and you've got Punk. Progression my friends. ✌️
I think it was Muddy Waters who wrote a song called ‘The Blues Had a Baby and They Called it Rock n Roll’
Ha! Cream. Disfunctional genius’s.
This is blues AND rock from the start.
Guys you got to do more cream they have 4 or 5 all time incredible hits songs . Classic stuff
Would love to see a reaction to Cream - I Feel Free 👍
YES YES!!! Play "The Sky Is Cruing" By Elmore James (The original), and then by SRV. You will see the progression.
Great comments Brad, "I can kind of see how blues turned into rock" and "the missing link". This is when it happened.
B B King said that Clapton was "the greatest rock guitarist in the world and plays the Blues better than most of us."
I recall BB saying that Peter Green had the edge on Clapton. More blues feel.
What makes Clapton's solo so epic is what Bruce and Baker are doing behind him. They drove Clapton past his comfort zone. Clapton once said playing with those two scared the hell out of him. Bruce said we were really a provressive jazz trio, we just didn't tell Eric
That´s true! Clapton believed playing blues, but Jack and Ginger wanna play jazz. Listen to "Sweet Wine", "N.S.U", "Spoonful" and my favourite song "I´m so glad" (from the LP "Good-Bye", hearing this song with headphones in the 70´s nearly destroyed my ears...). Since these times I´m a Cream-Fan and a Derek & the Dominos-Fan. Best live music for me!
For whatever reason.. I felt this song and the riffs massaged a part of my brain... I felt a euphoric satisfying effect😊!
Coldplay - Fix You (Official Video), The Scientist (Official Video), Yellow (Official Video), Talk (Official Video),
The Hardest Part (Official Video), Daddy (Official Video), Magic (Official Video), Viva La Vida (Official Video),
A Sky Full Of Stars (Official Video), Hypnotised (Official Lyric Video).
react please.
This is probably the single greatest live rock/blues recording of all time, despite how Clapton may feel about it.
it has NOTHING TO DO WITH TEMPO. It's the instrumentation - electric guitars with distortion make the blues sound like blues rock.
I would disagree. Much of the blues and rock is based on the I-IV-V chord structure. Slower tempos are perceived as "blues" while faster tempos are rock. Many bands/musicians, using the exact same instrumentation do both. Jimi Hendrix's Red House is a slower blues with plenty of distortion, Fire is faster, more rock sounding. Allman Brother's Band Stormy Monday Blues vs. Ramblin' Man. Led Zeppelin II jumps between blues and rock tempos all the time. The Stones playing Little Red Rooster vs. Brown Sugar.
Eric Clapton, My Favorit Guitarist, Cream - My Favorit Band 👏👏👏
You WERE listening to a very important song, Brad - in it’s day it was revolutionary - before Led Zeppelin, before peak Hendrix, before the Allman Brothers - this recording was THE transition from Blues to Blues-Rock.
For my money, the best SHORT guitar solo ever -on a song which they NEVER recorded in a studio - only this version from the legendary Fillmore - and on their final concert tour in 1970. And notice how CLEAN that musicianship was -not a bum note, or a slur, or a missed beat anywhere. Exceptional.
I think Robert Johnson would have been listening in - and would have absolutely LOVED IT.
Brad , what you are listening to is musicians practicing a craft. Brad, You look confused? Remember, before there was Rap, there was Rock. Rock has been around for 135 years.
Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Fats Domino, ushered in the birth of Rock n Roll. Ike Turner is said to have played the first Rock song, Rocket 88
Live at the Filmore.....how many bands could play to that standard live?
Around every London Public Wall in the Late 1960s the graffiti "Eric Clapton Is God"...:)
If I said it once, I've said it a thousand times: WE NEED A 60S ONLY STREAM!!
Oh hell yes!!!
Even stranger is the influence of baroque music (specifically J.S. Bach) on Clapton's guitar work.
Blues to rock timeline kinda sorta.. Charlie Patton. Blind Lemon Jefferson. Son House. Robert Johnson. Muddy Waters takes it electric. Howling Wolf. Chuck Berry. Mike Bloomfield. Brian Jones. Eric Clapton. Jimi Hendrix. And others. They say the first cross over blues to rock song was Rocket 88 by Ike Turner. Or Rock Around The Clock by Bill Haley.
Every one is talking blues and Rock..What is holding it all together is Ginger Baker playing Jazz drums.
Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. In answer to who was the first Rock Guitarist?
Rock and roll = the blues amplified.
Blues is the natural parent of rock. Eric Clapton is the undisputed king of blues rock. Other significant blues rockers are Stevie Ray Vaugn and ZZ Top.
Well, rock and roll is made from blues, rhythm and blues, country, jazz, gospel and the "spirituals" that were sung by African slaves in the fields.
Heres another with Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker and Gary Moore ( Thin Lizzy ) actually from the Cream era. Politican. th-cam.com/video/9yN-RmeT85I/w-d-xo.html
Check out Chuck Berry for the beginning of rock...Maybellene was his first important hit.
This is among the best of the best. Cream was the original power trio and with Clapton, Jack Bruce on bass & Ginger Baker on drums, they had 3 superstars combining for one of the greatest jam/blues bands of all time. Spoonful, White Room, Sunshine of your Love, so many great jams. Muddy Waters put blues on electric. Check out John Mayall & Paul Butterfield as well, but EC was the man who dove deep into the blues & helped shape Rock.✌️❤️🎶
Well done guys.....kinda like that missing link reference.
Very real progression.
Robert Johnson sold his soul... great history with this. American blues transferred straight from English rockers. Especially The Rolling Stones. Eric Clapton the God
I have a lesser known one for you.
Artist: Mazzy Star
Songs:
1) Fade Into You
2) Flowers in December
3) Cry, Cry
On the British side Eric Clapton and John Mayalls Blues Brekers. But in the UuS Little Richard and Chuck Berry and Elvis.
Probably my favorite Cream song is "Badge"; this was the music of my junior high school (now middle school) years. But this song was the one that got a ton of airplay when it came out.
Check out Metal Evolution by Sam Dunn. Episode 1 will totally give you both some answers of where it all came from and how blues and jazz influenced metal.
th-cam.com/video/UMwcihWT37E/w-d-xo.html
"The Blues had a baby, and they called it Rock n Roll"~ Muddy Waters
All the music I love is basically African American gospel blues jazz originally from the south .
Blues influenced early rock; also early Rolling Stones especially and Led Zeppelin!!!
Forgot to add the Kings, Albert, BB, Freddie. Also SRV deserves mention.
You are talking about the British Invasion. Those Brits were heavily influenced by the old blues guys like Howlin Wolf. That is wree bands like The Animals, The Stones and many others came from. Connect the dots.
Middle America in the fifties was scared of black artists, like Chuck Berry Little Richard, Muddy Waters...but when that music is filtered through English kids it became acceptable
Going backwards in order, you have rock n roll to blues, blues to gospel, gospel to anglo-saxon protestant hymnals.
True! Cream, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and many more were blues bands originally
This is my favorite reaction channel by far, but two questions:
1.) What does Brad's hat mean?
2.) Is Lex the most beautiful woman on earth?
Now your getting into the right stuff - next checkout - Rolling Stones - Can’t you hear me knocking!!!
Check out a great live version from
2013 Rock n Roll Hall of Fame by
Members of Rush , Foo Fighters, Run DMC, Chris Cornell, Heart sisters, Gary Clark jr (Brads twin)
and more…
Rock n roll was derived from blues, jazz, and soul. Maybe add in funk. Just as red yellow and blue are your primary colors. Blues jazz and soul are primary music genres.
You guys should take the time and eat or look for in by find it on TH-cam or rent whatever the band's Last Waltz movie. It's a phenomenal movie, it's about them deciding not to tour anymore News interviews and performances by a whole lot of people. I brought that up to say this. Levon Helm when talking to reporter the saying about the blues and country and Bluegrass and Appalachian music all those types of music that came out of the South down there and the interviewer asked him, and what do you call that, to which Levon Helm replied, rock and roll
Oh and you guys should really check out some of Eric Clapton's solo stuff from the '70s and '80s!!
Hey you guys! I looking through my music collection today and saw one I'd like to recommend since Amber likes harmonica and it's an oldie Canned Heat......On the road again. One to consider when you lookin'
A lot of early rock was nothing but the basic I IV V blues progression played straight rather than with a shuffle rhythm. Chuck Berry made a nice living with that!
Blues to rock... There's a can of worms with no totally right answer. Once you start to factor in gospel, country and jazz it gets rather muddy. It sure is a lot of fun to go back and look at it being birthed, though! Check out Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who is often referred to as the Godmother of Rock and Roll.. Here's a good one: th-cam.com/video/JeaBNAXfHfQ/w-d-xo.html
So yeah you know it's so funny because it's all kind of one in the same I mean rock and roll came from the Blues they were all trying to figure out what was the first rock and roll song I think it was called Rocket 88 it was a song about an Oldsmobile it is absolutely hilarious though because Ginger Baker was a jazz drummer he played like swing jazz that sort of thing and of course Jack Bruce was no slouch that guy just crushed it here's the thing that solo is probably you know Eric Clapton at his finest he was at his Peak right in that time. You listen to that more and more and guess what? Yeah it's going to turn out to be one of your favorite solos that's so funny that you said that's not my favorite solo rock solo but yeah it's hilarious cuz you'll hear that more and more and you'll go oh my God okay kids wait till you hear some Blind Faith had to cry today check out that guitar solo course I think it's overdubbed because you have both Stevie Winwood and Eric playing at the same time with his really awesome
Rock developed out of the blues. Most rock bands play blues songs. This is Clapton Bruce and Baker maybe the best in rock to ever do it.
Blues song rock ? Rock around the clock.... Little Richard all that was transitional
Who first took blues and made it rock? That's easy
Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry. Blues player who eventually became known as one of (if not the) first rock & rollers.
THIS!!
Baker, Bruce, Clapton...🔥🔥🔥
Not a history buff but I think Bill Haily and the comets were the first ? To record rock music, rock around the clock , see you later alligator, shake rattle and roll plus more gold .
Tightest live song ever. Ckapton in prime form. Song is so tight. LIVE!
Talking about a place in mississippi where legendary blues guitarist robert johnsaon supposedly sold his soul to the devil to be able to play guitar. The birth place of the blues. Today there is a monument at that cross roads. Cream was a power trio that consisted of eric clapton who was considered one of rocks best guitarist at the time and ginger baker who to today is still considered one of rocks best drummers and one of the drummers who influenced legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart.
