When Cream jammed blues, blues rock, they were truly incredible. I first heard them in 1966 (I'm 70, been into hot guitar music over 50 years,all genres of music). I was totally blown away; still am. I knew Clapton was great, after hearing him on the 1965 John Mayall and Bluesbreakers LP. Similarly, Jack Bruce was already an established super bassist with a classical music background with cello. Ginger Baker was deeply rooted in jazz, took offense to being called a "rock" drummer. I think he still does! These great musicians formed what in my view was the greatest musical power trio of all time. They were only together for two years, yet their music never goes out of style. Like great wine, Cream just gets better with age. Thanks for posting.
Hello, I've seen you before on Lovebites videos! Thanks for your insightful commentary. I was just listening to Cream and thinking they sure sound metal even if they are not technically classified as metal. It's interesting tracing the evolution of this music from Cream all the way to Lovebites.
@@platyk Well stated. Thanks much for your comments and observations. At now age 72, Love Bites has become my all time favorite band. They're incredible.
Despite frequently employing out-of-time, complex "fills", Baker *never* lost "one"; that is, he was, as he often said, blessed with the gift of perfect time. To this day, he remains one of my favorite drummers.
JackOstinato JackO. U lucky guy. I'm envious. Dang. Never saw a CREAM concert live. Seen Clapton & his (various) bands. Saw Jack Bruce band freaturing Ginger Baker, twice. Went to see Clapton & Winwood. But never the great almighty CREAM. Whatta drag, man. U dig?
I bought the Live Cream album when I was nine years old and I have not tired of listening to it fifty years later. This song is one of the best examples of why Cream was such a musical force when they played live. Even after hearing this thousands of times, I still get chills when this song is played. Just pure genius!
This jam just shows how musically creative they are Jesus this shit is to gnarly i don’t understand how when I bring up 60s music no ones has ever heard of cream and when I tell them about sunshine there like oh yea I heard that song but I don’t what band played that song.....
@@parallaxcontinuum7898 spot on, if they had just taken a little break to cool off, regroup in time to headline at Woodstock, they would've really made the other bands play out of their heads..and Santana's was already , pretty effin immense..
Damn!!! Baker, Bruce, Clapton, these guys are all on fire 🔥!! I love the tone of a Gibson, Clapton could make any guitar 🎸 sing ,… all 3 of em are rolling!!
Our memory of Cream is so overshadowed by Spoonful on Wheels of Fire. This sounds like they were very fresh and inventive in the one-chord wigout, and the rest of the song is also really interesting and dramatic as a SONG: Best Cream track EVER for me.
@@ciccioaporta3774 hahaha That brings it all back.I haven't heard the term "pinner" in a very long time.We used to call pin joints ,"New Yorkers" .Because grass was so incredibly expensive in NY at the time.
This and a Sailor's Life by Fairport Convention are my two favourite long jams/arrangements of all time. NSU is also incredible. When the Beibers and One Directions and all the other cosmic debris are forgotten, bands like Cream will still be revered.
Jack Bruce at his best for sure. This song is amazing, great live performance and just has an infinite amount of tasty parts. Love them. Thanks for the post.
Jack is solid throughout the entire 15 minutes. All in all a lesson in improvisation by all three. When Cream were at their best the universe shrugged.
This particular live recording of "Sweet Wine" is one of my favorites. There is just so much musical content in there .... the way these guys weaved their separate threads is truly magical.
This piece has such a royal, majestic feel with the wide major chords and stately rhythms. A masterpiece of improvisation! Also, I love how Jack quotes the chorus melody at 2:18, and does it again, but with power chords, at 8:49!
@@bobbryan4887 Friends of the band , as well as The Beatles' ,an art collective from Netherlands called "The Fool".They did Jack's Fender VI earlier , one of George Harrison's Strats , both Ringo and Ginger's bass drum designs
My favorito improvisation of Cream will always be "I AM SO GLAD" from goodbye If the guitar sounded louder, as it should, it would be the best piece of art ever.
Try the different mix of I'm So Glad included in the Those Were The Days boxed set. There is also a longer and very different live version of NSU than the one on Live Cream Vol.1.
Not even close. No one is close. Rush idolized Cream. Rush is good though. How many rhythmic patterns does Ginger use? Jack Bruce constantly bubbling and no one is Clapton. Cream could make a tornado appear in a mild spring day and go back into silence without skipping a beat.
Whoa !!! hold on there Capt. Smokey McBlunt, there was also this lil ol' Cream wannabe band from NY that could make them there git-tars squall. . . Listen to Mountain's "Southbound Train" off of their Woodstock set, they could go go... .and that li'l outfit from Cleveland, and a pretty good drummer to keep up with Joe Walsh. . . and All I gotta do is put on any version of "machine Gun" and Jimi and the boys take their place in the Triumvirate. There is also a set Called Dick's Pick Vol 4 from the Dead, where they ramp up to a good ROAR with "Dark Star" and "That's It For The Other One", I'm just not a fan of the ubiquitous 10 min drum solos, the Same with Gregg & Duane's Mtn. Jam off of "Eat A Peach". . . So, Yes, I think Creams "I'm so Glad" & "Crossroads" are 1/3 & 2/3's of the best driving sounds ever But "Redhouse" is the 3/3 to make it a complete satisfying experience. PS. -- with a lil Derek & the Dominoes on the side
Yuu Zheene Briit Capt S. McBlunt here. Yeeha! Than where does Spoonful -whls/fire fall in. Anyways everyone has their own opinion. I chk'd out mountain when they 1st came out cause someone said they b like cream. Nah. Jimi played w/ too much wah wah peddle,feedback, distortion. I like that mtn jam, allman bros. Live @ the Filmore. Especially the beginning & the end. In between it can get boring tho. Any band w/Clapton=not boring. Toss in the great Jack Bruce,add the #1 R n R drummer & u have a super-group! BTW...sorry to hear Tom Petty died. Too young to die, (not) too young to R & R. (W/apologies to Ian A. & the boys)
dude, you definitely have good taste. . . I ain't gonna split strings with ya, I just appreciate it when these masters would go into, " what Spinal Tap would call," jazzy odyssey. I WILL add this, though, for your, perusement. On the Live Cream Vol. II, LP really check out Clapton's giving us all a PhD level education on the proper use of the wah wah. . . . it don't git any better than this. ua-cam.com/video/BTsVqzwWjAc/v-deo.html As an X-tra bonus, ((( you may or may not like him ))) but Trower's old drummer Reggie Isidore just "goes to town," on the snare on this version of Little Bit of Sympathy. ua-cam.com/video/-OsucqPvqlY/v-deo.html . . . That drum is just SNAPPING man !!!! That's the way you drive a band. Lemme know yer thoughts !! Out
Yuu Zheene Briit I've listened to South Bound train and I can tell you, it's not that great. West just repeats a lot of the same chords over an over again. Mountain is no where on the level of Cream. There's no one who can improvise like Cream an also the flow they create for 12+ min all the time, especially the fact they never play the same song the same way twice. Each one could be the lead or all could. They gelled so good together an listened to each other an played off that. They have all the best genre of musical traits in there songs, African, Blues/Jazz, Classical, Indian (from India) an Rock. I'm sorry, but a lot of Mountains songs if you listen sound so simular to each other. You won't find that with Cream. Same goes for Jimi. He had more skill than any other but skill alone doesn't make you the greatest. In fact, his music was just noise it doesn't have that flow to it an if you wrote it out as music notes, it wouldn't make any sense because it was incoherent dribble what he did with his guitar. Cool sound but not music, just like Page playing with a bow on the guitar, it's sounds cool but not music. Jimi couldn't even read music, an on occasion there were times he had to stop in the middle of the song because he couldn't remember how to play it. There's a reason Leonard Bernstein an Igor Stravinsky admired Cream so much an why they influenced so many bands including Mountain.
@Arminius Hermann I hear ya! I attended Led Zeppelin concert (song remains the same tour) back n the early 70's(??) When Jimmy played his guitar w/ that bow, well that was it. I became an ex Led Zep fan. His bow "gimmick" was boring as was his stunt w/ that electronic anttenna retrifyer thing. Waving his hands over it created feedback. Not music. Horrible live concert. As proof I foolishishly went to c their rockumentary of that tour. Again boring. Fell asleep... again. Promised myself never again to waste my $ on the mighty Led Zeppelin. They made great music n the studio but as a live act, they sucked!
You must be incredibly unmusical. This is one of the most inventive and accomplished performances they ever gave with not a single wasted bar. There's no padding, the whole is beautifully constructed with so much variety and contrast.
@@ahughes9649 You're so right. You put your finger straight on it. I am incredibly unmusical. A couple of guys with Gibsons and huge amplifiers running up and down blues scales for 15 minutes while a crazed drug addict endlessly pounds a drum set without any discipline or restraint is obviously far too sophisticated for my untutored ear. I'll just stick to my jazz and J S Bach and leave this sort of thing to the grown ups.

Ti capisco ragazzo
Cannabis can help you with that.
Thank You Ginger Baker FOREVER!!!
Great performance by three of the greatest humans that touched our world. RIP Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Long live Eric Clapton!
I saw them do this at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in 1968. Seeing them actually playing like this in person was singular, I assure you.

how can people not understand and appreciate them as foundation of all those who followed in their wake?
@The Dude1997 think it has a great deal to with the sad fact that they broke up just before ,well,six months or so, before Woodstock.
@@parallaxcontinuum7898 spot on, if they had just taken a little break to cool off, regroup in time to headline at Woodstock, they would've really made the other bands play out of their heads..and Santana's was already , pretty effin immense..
This remains my favorite live performance by Cream, the art of the jam in a power trio. Jazz rock, truly.
Rudolph Pyatt wow! At 10 mins then sounds Jack gets from his bass while Baker jams the rhythm and Clapton invents around them.
Live in detroit is amazing too
Jack Bruce was a legend. I started playing bass because of him.
me too;)
Damn!!! Baker, Bruce, Clapton, these guys are all on fire 🔥!! I love the tone of a Gibson, Clapton could make any guitar 🎸 sing ,… all 3 of em are rolling!!
I saw them in Seattle, 1968. STILL my favorite band!

so heavy and lovely

I love how you can hear all three instruments very clearly, the holy trinity
This is a prime example of why Clapton is God

Esta obra maestra deberia ser considerada como patrimonio artistico de la humanidad.Un legado que dejaron Eric, Jack y Ginger. Simplemente sublimes.
Gabino Arvizu yeah, whatever he said 👍✌️
Wonderful RIP Jack & Ginger
Very good!!! Love Cream!!!
the groove they nail around 2:40..... wowie.

Note the varied dynamics; later power trios didn’t hold a candle to Cream in this regard.

This is fucking unbelievable Fucking Love Cream. Thank You for this
Such inventiveness!
other world!!!
Semplicemente il paradiso.
Like having three lead players playing together or against each other
Jack and Ginger were incredible. And Eric was better in that period, than after, with Gibson guitars, in my opinion.
Those Gibson Les Pauls were unique for sure
Oh how I wish there is a version of "Pressed Rat" where they just pin their ears back and ROAR, for 10 or 11 minutes.
Me too...if only they had played it just once back in the heyday!
2005 Reunion they played it
@@thomasbedell4770 yeah, but not with the verve and swagger that a band of 20 year olds have. . . how is everyone ???
