Yes! Great vocalist; the voice of Cream. Additionally, he co-wrote many of Cream's songs including this one. As well as being a most amazing and creative bass player!!
MollyBoy what you said at the end about opening up your mind almost made me cry. This was all such great music and I don't want it to die with the older generations. Younger people should know about it and seeing you appreciate it so much brings me joy
Before Cream he was in the yardbirds which produced 3 of the greatest guitarist. Clapton, Page & my favorite Jeff Beck. All friends at one time. You want to hear unique unbelievable guitar, listen to Beck.
After my husband died far to young, I was in the car with my son...we were saying we'd need to figure out what to have put on his dad's gravestone. My son said, how about a favourite song lyric. The next song on the radio was Cream, one of my husband's favourite groups. So, we picked a lyric from that song, Sunshine of Your Love. Kinda cool how that just happened
For years, Clapton's guitar was the only thing I heard because big bass sound dynamics had not yet emerged. Suddenly, Ginger Baker's drums became the biggest part of this recording. Modern remixing has really cleaned up the sound.
@@theshadowfax239 great jazz drummer style. I would say that as good as Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham was Ginger might have had the edge. However the 2 best drummers in my opinion were Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. Possibly Rich was better but who cares if you liked the output 😎👍👍✌️
@@harmonic3350 yeah but I think baker beat bonham. John was loud. Baker was innovative and improvisational at times. I was at Earls Court 25th May 1975. Was stunning. I was also at Knebworth and the sound was terrible but I still enjoyed the music. I wish they had not played Knebworth it was not a fitting ending for them. I have also seen film of their USA Live Aid gig and I understand that Knebworth was stunning by comparison. Phil Collins played the drums for what was touted as Led Zeppelin’s reunion, but it was horrible. Page refused permission for this Led Zeppelin set to be released on the official DVD of Live Aid.
I saw someone else post this quote on another Cream video but it really is the best description of Cream. They said Ginger Baker (drummer) was quoted as saying "we were always a Jazz trio. Jack and I just never told Eric." Anyway, check out Strange Brew.
Oh you’ve got to hear : IN-A-GADA- DA- VEDA by Iron Butterfly 🦋 Great famous guitar riff, keyboards and drums.. The 17 minute version has a long drum solo along with guitar and keyboards!! ( watch the video)
This was an amazing time. The Beatles,Cream,The Who, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones,The Doors and Jimi Hendrix and many more were all making music at the same time.
Cream's bass player, Jack Bruce, wrote and sang this song. Ginger Baker was the drummer. It sounds like the 70's because they were a little ahead of their time. The Beatles were probably the most responsible for ushering music into the 70's as their last few albums sounded more and more 70's, but Cream helped change music too. By the way, Eric Clapton played guitar on The Beatles' song, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. George Harrison wrote that song but the other Beatles didn't want to include it on the album until George recruited Clapton to play on it. I'd love to see you react to that one too.
Though you've already done the Prince/Petty/Lynne tribute performance, make sure to react to the original White Album track if you do The Beatles. The stripped-down remake doesn't include Clapton's contribution.
Actually, the whole white album from the Beatles is great. Not one single bad song on it. Especially including Helter Skelter, which is a precursor to heavy metal and punk rock. It's safe to say that the Beatles pretty much started almost every subgenre of rock and even pop we have today. For reals.
Cream was perhaps the greatest power trio in rock history who played pure rock and roll. I'd say they were the tail end of the British Invasion era. The band gets little recognition these days compared to the esteem it once enjoyed. They were also one of the greatest Psychelic era bands too. Looking forward to the new review.
I think it is BECAUSE they were psychedelic that Cream is t as well known today. That seems to be the genre that is least appreciated by younger people. They don’t get it. Which seems weird to me since there’s as much weed being enjoyed now, if not more, than we did back in the day.
Those drums! No other drummer would have played it like this. Ginger Baker always brings so much. And the sound of his kit is amazing, the bass drum is tuned high.
You would like Mississippi Queen by Mountain. Thier bass player, Felix Papalardi produced many of Cream's albums and Leslie West was an amazing guitarist also.
Crossroads (live) would be a great follow up! ❤ The music like this from the 60s and 70s allows you to get completely lost in a vibe/ journey. You just trust these masters to take you wherever they're going.
Hey Mollyboy it’s been nothing but fun watching you being thrilled and in some cases just blown away by the fab bands we lived with in the ‘70’s, ‘80,s and 90’s 🤓
Imagine being at the Albert Hall concerts when these three guys just filled the place with a wall of feedback laden sound and people listening to Clapton play just couldn’t believe their eyes & ears
Now Remember Eric Clapton is considered by music critics everywhere as one of the top guitar players in rock history, along with Jimi Hendrix, SRV, and Jimmy Page.
Love sharing this music with young people. Great music always finds new audiences. I watch for that little grin young man. Reminds me of my grandson when he is really vibing to new music. ❤😂❤
The fascinating thing about you young guys listening to music is that there are literally many more decades of music for you to listen to than we ever had when young. Large swaths of some really great songs will never be heard by youth anymore, because the overwhelming quantity is just far beyond the amount of free time, even with targeted suggestions.
The wah-wah guitar and the way the singer is using his voice just scream late 60's to me. And yes, you could just sit and enjoy the vibe. We expected the music to take us on a journey, no matter what group we were listening to at the time.
The "Music of Cream" one of my first albums, "White Room" Great song now your getting into some of the Psychedelic music 🎶 😎, some of my favorite's Steppenwolfs "Magic Carpit Ride", Strawberry Alarm Clock "Incense and Peppermint" and my favorite Iron Butterfly "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" a Banger! Put on the rose colored glasses, 🎧 and kickback 😊✌️ Peace ☮️ your 70 year old forever Young Hippie Gary 💃 🕺
When you were talking about Jack's voice pulling you in and away from concentrating on the Clapton's guitar work, I was saying out loud, "Just wait, my son."
I forgot to tell you something some Rock groups like Led Zeppelin. Cream. Yes. Black Sabbath some rock bands were such brilliant producers, songwriters, musicians, and singers that their music sounds like it was done in 2024. The Superior musicianship makes it timeless and certainly a helluva better than the music we have today. You must remember....people made music because they were possessed with music....people made music back my time because they were obsessed with the art of music. It was their god.....and they spent 12 to 19 hours a day working on a song or practicing on their instruments. They were so obsessed with music that took drugs to enhanced the vibe of creativity or drown out pain or both.
When all my peers (aged 12) were listening to US west coast music, I was listening to this song. Top 5 song on my all time list. The drumming first African style in rock music, by the brilliant Ginger Baker
So happy to watch you discovering all this great music and to be following you on your journey. Also, I admit, I'm hearing bands and songs that I didn't know about or appreciate fully, so thanks to you and your other subscribers for the suggestions! Let's go!!
This Ameerican Boomer really appreciates your enthusiasm for this music. As a boy in the late 50s growing up on the southside of Chicago listening to Top 10 crooners and early rock-a-billy Elvis breakouts on the radio as well as R&B and gospel, my music upbringing was a lot like Jake and Elwood in the Blues Brothers. Keep on rock n' rollin'. Boogie
You gotta do Badge by Cream. Chill tune but amazing bass playing. And then check out Real Me by The Who, perhaps the greatest rock bass performance in history.
Cream One of, if not the FIRST SUPERGROUPS. Made up of the best players coming together, often never for long enough. Also see, and I will miss some, Blind Faith, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, mad season, velvet revolver Etc, etc
Cream were a British rock supergroup formed in London in 1966. The group consisted of bassist Jack Bruce, guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker.
In the 80's when I was a kid and first heard Cream, Hendrix, Zep, Chicago, Van Halen...felt like my feet were being cemented to the earth. Honesty in music (as in genuine quality/genuine effort) was what I was exposed to. Felt like I was listening to something made with real ingredients, rather than chemicals and food colorings (to use food as an analogy).
@@paulgatton1785 when I was 2 years old in 1969 I listened to my parents albums and I ended up naming my sister Jennifer from Jennifer Juniper LOL true story.
A supreme trio, this monster of a band. Staggering, the talent you are witnessing. And most of their stuff sounds so different because they could basically do whatever the hell they wanted. They were that good.
I am absolutely loving your journey from casual listener of the music that has held a mirror up to your preconceived notion of what you thought was "music" before your eyes, ears and especially your mind is now beginning to understand. That's why the music that has been played, enjoyed and discussed for 50+ years just keeps getting better the more times you play it. My own grown children are now introducing their sons to the finest that music has to offer. I'm looking forward to your continued journey; I know you will continue to enjoy the trip.
Maybe 20 years ago I heard Randy Bachmann (guitarist for the Guess Who [1962-1970] and Bachmann-Turner Overdrive [1973-1977]) discussing this song. He pointed out that the wah-wah pedals used then had the pedal at a fairly high angle that was awkward for a standing guitarist to use. Bachmann said that Clapton's solo at the end of White Room was legendary among musicians at the time because of the descriptions of his contorted dancing as he operated the pedal during the solo. 😁
Your journey through the 60's and 70's is going to endear you to a lot of us older subscribers. It's really great to see someone of your age discover and appreciate the music we grew up with. So much generic "pop" music today is soul-less and samey. We really had it lucky with so much creativity in our music. A couple of suggestions for you, 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson and Wondrous stories by Yes. Although tbf you could go with any early Yes. A lot of progressive groups of the time also tended to use multi different sections in their tracks. :)
This was really BIG when it first came out... a Super Group was super new at the time, and this one didn't disappoint. A real change point in Rock Music to us back then. Happy trails to you, MB!
This is one of the best from Cream! The lyricist, Pete Brown, wrote about his experience of renting a small, rundown apartment to try and kick his heroin addiction. The bass player, Jack Bruce, wrote the music for it.
I'm with you bruv -- Jack Bruce's voice is captivating. When I was about 13 or 14 I heard a very short snippet of this song on a TV advert for an album that was a collection of songs from that time and THIS song snippet led to me buying the album off of tv. Lots of great Cream songs. I recommend "Tales of Brave Ulysses", "Crossroads", "Swlabr", "Badge", "Politician", "Strange Brew".
Mollyboy TV... You Tubes best reaction channel, by far.
agree

Jack Bruce is singing ... one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.
Yes! Great vocalist; the voice of Cream. Additionally, he co-wrote many of Cream's songs including this one. As well as being a most amazing and creative bass player!!
🤡
I agree absolutely love Cream
This has always been my favourite Cream track. Maybe it’s the minor key, who knows? X

Me toooooo....
Very well said😊
Same feelings here ditto
Before Cream he was in the yardbirds which produced 3 of the greatest guitarist. Clapton, Page & my favorite Jeff Beck. All friends at one time. You want to hear unique unbelievable guitar, listen to Beck.
I approve this message 👍🏻
Came to say this.
David Gilmour points to Beck as his favorite guitarist as well.
Saw the Yardbirds in '66 when both Beck (guitar) and Page (playing bass) were both the band.
Then he left the Yardbirds and joined John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers which produced Eric, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. Also legendary guitarists.
After my husband died far to young, I was in the car with my son...we were saying we'd need to figure out what to have put on his dad's gravestone. My son said, how about a favourite song lyric.

I like that. Sorry he died so young.
Cool, yes "hold fast!" (1Thess.5 :21, the Bible)
Your son had an excellent suggestion! My remembrance should be "Let It Be."
❤
Sorry for your loss. I have memories associated with that song too. Music lives in our hearts, and so does love.
Ginger Baker's drumming is epic !!
Yep, I've never been much of a fan of Clapton fan, but Ginger Baker was something else.
For years, Clapton's guitar was the only thing I heard because big bass sound dynamics had not yet emerged. Suddenly, Ginger Baker's drums became the biggest part of this recording. Modern remixing has really cleaned up the sound.
Like a jazzy Bonham

That's right. He said "...we never told Eric - he thought we were a blues band."
Ooooh yes…Strange Brew.
Oh you’ve got to hear :
IN-A-GADA- DA- VEDA

Iron Butterfly 🦋
Great famous guitar riff, keyboards and drums..
The 17 minute version has a long drum solo along with guitar and keyboards!!
( watch the video)
He’ll totally love that one
absolutely!!!
Yes!
And there is a live performance video, too! --Dan
Yes, In The Garden Of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly.
My Mom would jam Cream when my father would go to work before I started school in '69. Mom was a hippie, Dad was a greaser('50's).
😏
You need to listen to Blind Faith. Another band Clapton was in.
... as was Ginger Baker.
Yardbirds
And Derrick and the Dominoes
This was an amazing time. The Beatles,Cream,The Who, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones,The Doors and Jimi Hendrix and many more were all making music at the same time.
No, you’re not bias. I’m an American & Clapton is a guitar GOD.
Very early wah wah here. Clapton and Hendrix were pioneers of that.
How about ""Season of the Witch" from Super Sessions. Stephen Stils is having some serious fun with the wah wah.
Actually Clapton was, Hendricks flew to England to see and meet Clapton over it.
"TALES OF BRAVE ULYSSES"......please MB. It's another Cream banger!
Tiny purple fishes..run ,laughing, through your fingers...
YES!!!
Absolutely that and Strange Brew 👌

You’re channel MB, we’re just along for the ride. We enjoy young people finding out the amazing music we grew up with.

Crossroads is a masterpiece of fury and passion
Late 60’s “Acid Rock” “ peace, love, and happiness”
Jefferson Airplane & Iron Butterfly!!!! 😮😊
Jack Bruce was the main singer and bass player. Eric Clapton was backing vocals and guitar. Ginger Baker on drums.

Yes, I had this same thought a few days ago. Maybe he’s young enough to get caught up since newer music lost some magic after a few decades.
Trying to catch up would be a worthwhile challenge, though, lol

"Dance the Night Away" is an underrated marvel which never made it to radio. Worth an ear.
71 yr old boomer here, still can't get enough of Crossroads from the same album, live at the Fillmore.

I saw Eric Clapton live a couple times...Great shows...
A great one. Quite a story; quite a mood. Here we go! :)
I'm with you bruv -- Jack Bruce's voice is captivating. When I was about 13 or 14 I heard a very short snippet of this song on a TV advert for an album that was a collection of songs from that time and THIS song snippet led to me buying the album off of tv. Lots of great Cream songs. I recommend "Tales of Brave Ulysses", "Crossroads", "Swlabr", "Badge", "Politician", "Strange Brew".
