Eric Clapton is the only musician who have played with Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Albert King, Chuck Berry, JJ Cale, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Peter Frampton, David Gilmour, Steve Winwood, Keith Richards, Duane Almann, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pete Townsend, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins. He is the only 3 time inductee to the R&R Hall of Fame (could be 5 if they induct Blind Faith and Derek & Dominos into the Hall of Fame). Put respect for him.
Mom would've been 103 this month. Cream was her favorite rock band. RIP Momma. Hope you have a front row seat to the greatest musicians. Be seeing you soon.
4 of us met up every Thursday night & play This Album with a crate of NEWCASTLE BROWN & GET WASTED WHAT A WAY TO GO I'M 73 NOW STILL CHUGGIN BUT STILL 17 IN HEAD ROCK ON 😂😂😂😂😂❤ GREAT MUSIC FOREVER 😂😂😂😂😂❤
2023: GOD! That Was SO GREAT! Beautiful Ending. 2of 3 are gone now. Such great musicians, such a loss. I've been a drummer since 1964. We've lost so many Great Ones. Thank You
I was 12 when Cream released this album. I saved up my pocket money and bought the the LP (my first ever) much to my parents’ consternation! Loved it then, still love it now…😊
Of THAT era? Ginger Baker has the most singular, recognizable voice on drums of anyone of ANY era...but yes, they sure did lay it down and show 'em how to do it!
I got to see Cream in a small club in Philadelphia about a month before their first album came out. Cost 2 dollars to get in the door. Heard all their songs on their first album and was sitting about 6 feet from the band. It was an experience that just blew me away. I was 17 at the time.
@Paul Kline ...was also a teen of the 60's and saw most of the greatest rock bands that ever walked the earth. am often a little pissed that most people dont even understand when i talk about the shows and music of the day, and how privelidged i consider myself..... "born under a good sign"
I am 63 and jammed with my buddies in a band back in like 1975. Played this song. Best memories and most fun I ever had. Before twiddling tweets and face time. When you got together with your friends you caught up, talked, had new things and experiences to relay and talk about. Then made music. What great winter nights or bad weather days indoors. God bless the parents that put up with us. A simpler time, but we did not know that. 40 dollars for an amplifier was a huge outlay.
What to say about a song over 50 years old that still seems to have strength for another 100 years???? Amazing, astonishing!!! Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce are from another universe!!!!
I was around when this was new. They were hero's then and will be for many years to come. Music like this can never die, unlike the players. RIP Ginger and Jack❤
Many "packing" "Muricans" step up to the plate to stop the hating, violent attackers of innocent humanity. Just think of All that gave their arms, legs, eyes or Lives over the Decades. It's Our God Given Inalienable Right to Protect Ourselves & Others if need be. Real "Muricans" don't support nor endorse radical Lies, MisInformation, Propaganda or Hate. The Whole World has been L.I.E.D. to, abt. Everything....
This song is classic. These three men could rock your face off. Ginger provides that steady beat. Jack plays his fret-less bass. And Eric doing what he has done for decades. These three reset the bar on music. So much talent in a small band of three. For many of us this guitar riff is legendary. So well known. NO auto tune, no fireworks other than the music. Just rock and roll! I love it. It sucks that two of them are gone. But hey we still have slow hand. I am amazed that Eric is still alive. And they know it.
If anything these guys just got better since I was at Ariz. State U. and heard this song for the first time! Now I’m 74 and this brings back such great memories that all I can do is cry, I’m loving this!
I have seen Eric 6 times in my lifetime and would have loved to have seen Cream! Clapton cleaned his act up many years ago and Thank Gog he is still with us. God Bless Jack and Ginger!
They will have listened to their parents playing it first time round, they heard it in their cradles . Personally I always thought it was quicker. Epic track
No offense but rock is gonna die out if old heads like you gate keep it. I mean, if the old heads in the 50s referred to Chuck berry as "true rock" and god forbid were listened to, music as we know it wouldn't be the same. Point is, shut up, music evolves
If all of them were still alive, I don't know if they would do these concerts again. I wish they would've toured UK, Europe and USA with this reunion in 2005. But that might've been asking a bit much at their age.
@Ron, I was 15 when this song came out. My next door neighbour had the album playing in his parents' basement back in 1968. My LAST year at home, bc I ran away from my drunken abusive dad, and was put in Children's Aid Society group home shortly after! BTW, I'm now 68 and counting.
@@mr.blackhawk142 How has your life been ? You started out having one tough time of it . When I was 20 I inherited enough money to buy a car and put a continent's distance between my family and myself. Age 10 to 14 was a very bad time for me. Enough I swore I would never have children of my own. Time passed,I was able to have a wary peace with my parents the last years of their lives. Adult life with achievements gives a very different perspective. Hope you have done well.
Sadly we,LL never hear the like,s of music played like this again, thank God we where around at the moment in time to see and hear these great ROCK AND ROLL, BLUE,S BAND,S . PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND'S.✌️✌️✌️😎😎😎🏴🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
It saddens me to think that in the next 15-20 years there will no great musicians left. There will be no “super groups”. But people will still be listening to this classic music. I’m 69 years old, I raised my kids on this music. They know all the “real” groups and singers from that era. Even today they don’t listen to the garbage being produced today!
Had a conversation with a German man and we both agreed that culture is dying. Sex and violence being the obsession of the majority. Hence we no longer have culture just ignorance and government propaganda as the diet for the masses.
Ludes...my first drug of choice at 16. Loved 'em so much I stopped everything else and lived to tell about it. LoL 😂 61 now and still walking and talking 🦜✌️🥀
Yes, "few". Without the internet, would Eric Clapton even have had a voice about lockdowns? Is being invited on the TV really how he was talking about that? Rhetorical question.
Eric Clapton, that's a mighty big name and he deserves it. No one else could have done what he has in the best way for music and all the great groups of people he has played with in his life. My Idol!
When we were in our teens and twenties we thought we were immortal, and couldn't conceptualize an end to life, and just figured we would live forever! now the reality of this life is brought to the forefront by the loss of these kind of people who's talent with putting words to music helped us mark the way during the trip....... to those still with us thank God for you, and for those past, may you find comfort in God and his company, you performed no heroics or bravery, but you gave us such pleasure and enjoyment,😊😢❤✌🖖👍👏🤝🙏 what a gift!
When in a foster home confused lonely 1968 played this song over and over. I believe it kept me going!!! Such a cool song. I remember repairing my own record player.
So so amazing to watch this again for about the 3rd time. 3 masters of their instruments together for the last time. One of the greatest R&R bands of all time. Maybe the best. Jack was ill and died 9 years after these concerts (you can see he’s kinda frail here) and Ginger in ‘19 so this will never happen again. RIP boys!
Three legends!!! Only Clapton still with us but no matter what they are all immortals (Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker and many others still jamming in somewhere else)
I'm 68 and remember when every rock group had a diffeent and unique sound and style, not like the shit show stuff of today. Today all music seems so "formula" Guys, God rest your talented souls! Keep creating where ever you are!
Today's music employs a much narrower vocabulary in its lyrics, less range, more repetition, and less innovation. The music has, as you intuited, been dumbed down. No doubt there are many innovative musicians, just as there are filmmakers, but the big studios want a guarantee of big returns.
@John K: Well, yeah. The commercial, "radio star" stuff. It's awful, derivative, homogenous, unlistenable nonsense. And regrettably, all done on a laptop with auto tune. (Billie Eilish was the first one to break the mold in a long time!) But most of the top ten is written by the same two guys. Swear to God! But to be honest, there's a HELL of a lot of great music today- It's just hard to find. Actually, Coen Brothers movies are a good place to start. Be well, everybody.
I saw Cream at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles late sixties. Loud, sweaty, strobe lights, audience stoned out of their minds! Songs played were on the average 10-15 minutes long with incredible jamming & improvising.
Incredible and heartfelt reunion. Jack killing the jazzy fret less wonderbass. Eric just worshiping the song. Ginger playing like the house is in fire. Awesome post. Thanks
Sort of like The Jimi Hendrix Experience & The Band Of Gypsys. Her's a present. I only found this now & it's the very best version of Spoonful i've ever heard & I didn't know it could even be done better than onn Wheels Of Fire hey! Just type in 'Cream Spoonful live 1967 AMAZING SOLO RARE' & those words will take you right to it :D
No stupid thingy-me-job in the ear either.... These people knew their music. (None of that wailing falsetto boy band shite or crappy girly bands selling sex.) This was the music. The be-all and end-all. To be remembered forever.
Back when rock stars had to EARN it..these guys were real rock STARS. Listen to it again and just focus on Ginger Baker’s drums. Brings tears to my eyes.
Bro. You got it so right. I'm a black guy in my 70's.. When most of my friends were in the Motown BS.. I was diggin' on this , CCR.ACDC. Lead Zeplpin, Ginger Baker was killing on those drums. I wished It could have gone on another 15 minutes. Best drumming in the world. RIP fellas. Imitated but never duplicated.
I guess all that had to be said about them has already been said below. What was it about the late 60s that brought on all this incredible creativity and talent? First Hendrix, then Cream and all the other incredibly young groups like Led Zeppelin, Free, Ten Years After, Jeff Beck, EM&P, Santana, and all the other stellar bands even if short lived... I never saw them live (I was behind the Iron Curtain at the time) but ever since I first heard this piece on a 45 vinyl smuggled in from the West back in 1967, I could not live without hearing them at least several times a day, every day, even to the detriment of my school performance. Of course I got all their music on vinyl or CD when I moved to Canada in 1984. Now I have their 2006 reunion on DVD and I can watch it whenever I can in HD. Thank you Cream for the sublime moments you provided me throughout the years.
Jack Bruce & Paul Macartney have been my top bass players for many years. Now I have had to add Tal to the list. Jack has the driving beat Paul more melodies. Want to hear Jack at the top of his game check out when he played on Frank Zappa's song "Apostrophe"...My roommate bought the album home the day it was released, And I was like "that sounds like Jack Bruce" my guitar playing friend said, 'you do have an ear".
Three guys all playing lead brilliant stuff I'm 80years old next year scary eh! I'm so glad I'm so glad I'm so glad these guys were in my life.....RIP GINGER....😥😥...
I’m 19 years old and it makes me happy that there is people my age that actually enjoy this music. We will make sure to pass on the legacy that Ginger and Jack left behind.
Victor Melendez I hope you still have a TURNTABLE .. it’s the best sound ( providing you have a decent stereo) !! I’m going to buy a new STYLUS now. I’ve been procrastinating , so now I’m INSPIRED
My son, who grew up on Green Day, Foo Fighters, etc, found my old vinyls one day and discovered Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Steppenwolf, Santana, and a dozen other great bands, and he half-kiddingly asked me what else I'd been hiding from him.
@@-guitarhero : not Queen ! and spell correctly name : "Steve Vaï" pliz. Ah ! OK, I've got it ! like euh.... Impossible to apply that trick on your name coz name and surname start with a "G".

Oh, I just woke up. What did I miss?
sorry but JB was often wrong on fretless, mainly in the upper part of his solo
Jack Bruce, IS Brilliant player, nothing fake there, or the other Two of three..
Best drummer of that era...and three old men showing today’s kids “how it’s done.”

Clapton was and is still a guitar God.

Eric Clapton, that's a mighty big name and he deserves it. No one else could have done what he has in the best way for music and all the great groups of people he has played with in his life. My Idol!
Three men. Three instruments. Creates amazing sound, and music. This is real musicians.
When we were in our teens and twenties we thought we were immortal, and couldn't conceptualize an end to life, and just figured we would live forever! now the reality of this life is brought to the forefront by the loss of these kind of people who's talent with putting words to music helped us mark the way during the trip....... to those still with us thank God for you, and for those past, may you find comfort in God and his company, you performed no heroics or bravery, but you gave us such pleasure and enjoyment,😊😢❤✌🖖👍👏🤝🙏 what a gift!
Amen.....
Beautifully said.
Thomas Schoon nice thoughts ,nostalgia is painfull 😅marco cdf
I hate to disagree but I'm 17 and I have been scared of the thought of death since age 16
Amen
When in a foster home confused lonely 1968 played this song over and over. I believe it kept me going!!! Such a cool song. I remember repairing my own record player.
So so amazing to watch this again for about the 3rd time. 3 masters of their instruments together for the last time. One of the greatest R&R bands of all time. Maybe the best. Jack was ill and died 9 years after these concerts (you can see he’s kinda frail here) and Ginger in ‘19 so this will never happen again. RIP boys!
These are the 3 baddest grandpas on the planet. Wish we had more cream in our coffee instead of our current airwaves.
When 75-year-old men are cooler than anyone born after 1980.
Eric Clapton was 60 at the time of this show.
Ok boomer
@@stray999
Delusional dumbass
@@TheOriginalMaxGForce Calling people names over the internet makes you feel large don't it?. Sad that you feel so small in the real world eh?
TheOriginalMaxGForce Yep, you're lame. Perhaps a part of Trump's 'deep state'? After all, name calling is a natural.
It doesn't get any better than this! What a performance!!!
No ,it doesn't!!!
well said.
Three legends!!! Only Clapton still with us but no matter what they are all immortals (Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker and many others still jamming in somewhere else)
Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker have passed away, but they are live in my mind.
🤘
They're too brilliant to die.😃🍻
MAYBE THEY ARE ROCKING ALL OVER THE WORLD
And as long as someone can enjoy the music they created, they live eternal!
This gig, it was Ginger keeping them together!
I'm 68 and remember when every rock group had a diffeent and unique sound and style, not like the shit show stuff of today. Today all music seems so "formula" Guys, God rest your talented souls! Keep creating where ever you are!
Today's music employs a much narrower vocabulary in its lyrics, less range, more repetition, and less innovation. The music has, as you intuited, been dumbed down. No doubt there are many innovative musicians, just as there are filmmakers, but the big studios want a guarantee of big returns.
Today's crappy music are all geared toward making cash. Those 3 guys only got muic in their mind then.
@John K: Well, yeah. The commercial, "radio star" stuff. It's awful, derivative, homogenous, unlistenable nonsense. And regrettably, all done on a laptop with auto tune. (Billie Eilish was the first one to break the mold in a long time!) But most of the top ten is written by the same two guys. Swear to God! But to be honest, there's a HELL of a lot of great music today- It's just hard to find. Actually, Coen Brothers movies are a good place to start. Be well, everybody.
@@redshark9537 Well said!
This is my favorite cream video .
I saw Cream at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles late sixties. Loud, sweaty, strobe lights, audience stoned out of their minds! Songs played were on the average 10-15 minutes long with incredible jamming & improvising.
No auto tune, real musicians playing songs by god given ability. Very cool
Warts and all!
Nice fretless!
Autotune is cool though.
Indeed brother God Given endless Gifts. All is His and all is Him.🤲🙇♀️ Divine talents
@@thecharlieramirez And it's vital for people who can't hold a note. How cool is that?
That drum beat holds it all together, it's primal, tribal, and straight up rocks!
yeah 1 and the 3, weird at first, but you get used to it.
Ginger Baker is the best drummer in the world. He is Cream.
I once owned a rug like that. It really held the room together.
@@tchrisou812 👍😎😂☮️
@@charlessmith6777 best in the world? Really?
Eric Clapton: The greatest part-time guitarist, full-time geography teacher.
"Sunshine of Your Love" features some of Eric's best guitar! I love it
Jack Bruce's smile is priceless R.I.P.
All three of them are very happy to be playing together. Three geniuses together are a rarity.
2 guiters, 1 set of drums, 3 talented muscians, some amps. No fancy dancing and funny lights. That's all it takes kids.
Yep!
Such a Living Legend Eric Clapton . I have been a fan since I first heard Cream in 1969 or early 1970's. I still have my albums.
Incredible and heartfelt reunion. Jack killing the jazzy fret less wonderbass. Eric just worshiping the song. Ginger playing like the house is in fire. Awesome post. Thanks
Add the (!) to your post, and it'll be, ..."Outta SIGHT !!"
Cream will always have a special place in my heart. RIP Ginger Baker.
Ginger the best one in the cream.
And Jack
It breaks my heart that 2/3 of the members are gone. Their legacies will forever live on!! RIP Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker💗
They could have called themselves The BBC, but someone beat them to it.
Wild to think that Clapton, with the lifestyle he lived for decades, is the one still here.
@@SweetSirenia its called being a rockstar
two old men showing the young how its done
@@descartesdonkey4291 Think you'll find there were _three_ members of Cream. Baker/Bruce/Clapton.
Best bassist and songwriter ever
RIP Thump and Thrum the pulsing foundation heart that sent Legends to the stars.
This is real rock.
Two guitarists and a drummer; no keyboards, no horns.
Just 3 musicians.
Sort of like The Jimi Hendrix Experience & The Band Of Gypsys. Her's a present. I only found this now & it's the very best version of Spoonful i've ever heard & I didn't know it could even be done better than onn Wheels Of Fire hey! Just type in 'Cream Spoonful live 1967 AMAZING SOLO RARE' & those words will take you right to it :D
Sorry but Jack Bruce is a bassist
@@sebastiansandfeld9671 así es
Bruce ply a bass guitar
No stupid thingy-me-job in the ear either.... These people knew their music.
(None of that wailing falsetto boy band shite or crappy girly bands selling sex.)
This was the music. The be-all and end-all. To be remembered forever.
Back when rock stars had to EARN it..these guys were real rock STARS. Listen to it again and just focus on Ginger Baker’s drums. Brings tears to my eyes.
Bro. You got it so right. I'm a black guy in my 70's.. When most of my friends were in the Motown BS.. I was diggin' on this , CCR.ACDC. Lead Zeplpin, Ginger Baker was killing on those drums. I wished It could have gone on another 15 minutes. Best drumming in the world. RIP fellas. Imitated but never duplicated.
Jack Bruce a powerful singer!! Ginger Baker the heart ❤️ Eric Clapton riff !!!! What a band!!!!
Amazing and Eric 's solo was stupendous 🎶
Love how much Jack Bruce seems to be enjoying this, he absolutely slays this performance.
Claptons voice just keeps gettin better and better
R
I love his voice.
Considering he was horribly sick at this concert, it says a lot haha
ManticTalbot what was he sick with??
It gets bluesier every day . He's a master
These are the masters of the musical universe
I guess all that had to be said about them has already been said below. What was it about the late 60s that brought on all this incredible creativity and talent? First Hendrix, then Cream and all the other incredibly young groups like Led Zeppelin, Free, Ten Years After, Jeff Beck, EM&P, Santana, and all the other stellar bands even if short lived...
I never saw them live (I was behind the Iron Curtain at the time) but ever since I first heard this piece on a 45 vinyl smuggled in from the West back in 1967, I could not live without hearing them at least several times a day, every day, even to the detriment of my school performance. Of course I got all their music on vinyl or CD when I moved to Canada in 1984. Now I have their 2006 reunion on DVD and I can watch it whenever I can in HD.
Thank you Cream for the sublime moments you provided me throughout the years.
Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were top of their game. But Jack Bruce? On another level entirely. Possibly the most underrated bassist of all time.
Damn right.
anőther level,yes. top of the pops. best conductor of all times
Jack Bruce & Paul Macartney have been my top bass players for many years. Now I have had to add Tal to the list. Jack has the driving beat Paul more melodies. Want to hear Jack at the top of his game check out when he played on Frank Zappa's song "Apostrophe"...My roommate bought the album home the day it was released, And I was like "that sounds like Jack Bruce" my guitar playing friend said, 'you do have an ear".
Agreed
For me ?….The Best One !
R.I.P. Jack Bruce, Cream is no more....
Cream Yo Nes Lo Mismo que antes
That's because he was Scottish through and through!
Cream is forever
=)
was long ago, but the reunion is awesome
Such an iconic tune. R.I.P. Pete Brown & thanks for all the superb lyrics.
These guys were doing this when rock hadn't been heard of. Legends.
Three guys all playing lead brilliant stuff I'm 80years old next year scary eh! I'm so glad I'm so glad I'm so glad these guys were in my life.....RIP GINGER....😥😥...
And I hope u enjoy a long healthy life
I’m 66 and remember them well too. My friends had a room where they partied and called it the “White Room”!
I’m 19 years old and it makes me happy that there is people my age that actually enjoy this music. We will make sure to pass on the legacy that Ginger and Jack left behind.
Well said mate,,I will come to your one hundred and twenty year party, count on it ,pal,
79 here. Those were the days! Musicians were actual musicians. They didn't have today's gimmicks to coverup ...
my dad was the biggest cream fan and now my son plays it on the guitar,wish he was here to see his grandson
david cook The only Cream riff that I can play. Bass in this. Excellent!
Eternel Cream.
Absolutely Amazing. Remember listening to this when I was 17. Brings back incredible memories.
I'M 70 Years old from lsrael , and l was there !

Excellent, awesome and oustanding music; there are only few words to express this musicians. Love until I’ll die!
Three great Musicians playing at they're optimum 🎸🥁🎸
My son, who grew up on Green Day, Foo Fighters, etc, found my old vinyls one day and discovered Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Steppenwolf, Santana, and a dozen other great bands, and he half-kiddingly asked me what else I'd been hiding from him.
Hendrix!
zed leppelin, queen, veve stai, etc
Nothing wrong with Green Day and Foo Fighters, but some of these old bands were just great.
@@-guitarhero : not Queen ! and spell correctly name : "Steve Vaï" pliz. Ah ! OK, I've got it ! like euh.... Impossible to apply that trick on your name coz name and surname start with a "G".
At least he grew up on one of rocks encarnations and not on trap or latín urban music. Im from latinamerica and im embarassed for the music that we export
Cream rocked hard in this reunion, still watching in 2019. RIP Ginger Baker.
