I saw an interview with Bob Weir talking about Cream arriving on the west coast. He said it was like the Vikings landing on your shore, time to hide the women and children.
@@monty70 Yep, Absolutely massive sound!! though I can't see Eric, Jack and even Ginger as savage vikings that you have to hide women and children from.. funny Bob Weir saying that, would like to find the interview..
You probably dont care but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Micah Kabir Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I didn’t realize how good Jack and Ginger were until I heard them in the psychedelic context. The way Baker serves the other players and lays back in the beat is sublime. Jack was the front man.
Poor Eric, constantly forced to blow his entire load just to keep up with Jack and Ginger, but alas! He is more than up to the task. There is something ethereal, yes, even spiritual about twin plexi super-leads in an huge hall. That, coupled with Jacks Marshall Majors create an almost surreal ambiance. Long live Cream!
Super intense version, Eric only played like this when pushed by Jack and Ginger but nobody else could have kept up with them, the physical playing stamina and sustained mental improvisational flow are beyond any other band.
Robert Cray summed up Jack's singing by saying, Jack Bruce and his wailing vocals were so cool!!!!! I totally agree with him, Jack has one of the perfect voices for singing power blues music.
There are various points where Baker sounds like there are two or three different drummers playing when the trio is really on fire. I think he stoked the blazing riffs and improvised explosive playing of Bruce & Clapton. A true innovator.
Eugene Ward,Jr. I can't tell if he is fast with one bass drum or consecutively using the two and creative rhythm with the snare, Tom-toms and the ride cymbal. My soul says, the latter.
I sat 15 feet away from Baker at a gig at the 'Cafe Wha' West Village, 1968 and blew my mind!! Baker was at a level that's all his own!!!! Nobody comes close!! Bonham was at another plain!! both were drum 'gods'!!!
It's like they are fighting each other musically for dominance within the band, especially the bass and drums. Jack and Ginger create this incredibly complex tapestry over which Clapton soars.
I heard Micky Hart talking about when Cream first came to San Francisco in 1967. He said it was like the Vikings landing on your shore. Time to hide the women and children. LOL.
The live album version is the greatest. That said, seeing them perform this live in the '60's while mildly stoned was heaven on earth. Never another concert matched the one of that night. They put their hearts into every concert. LOL, In NYC's East Village, the Filmore East had the Joshua Light Show behind the trio, not in front like this.
The best playing Clapton ever did, IMHO. It took me awhile to understand what's going on when Cream start improvising, but once you can hear it, it's incredible. You expect this kind of playing from jazz bands, but not rock bands.
I saw Cream live many times, from their debut performance at Windsor Jazz Festival in '66, through many in the north London blues clubs to their final at RAH. Every live performance of a song was different because they were improvising.. always brilliant and so exciting because you never knew where they were going, not sure that they did either! These recordings are great, but of course, always the same, which Cream were not.
It's unfortunate that that the dude that filmed and recorded this had to ruin it with oil lights , psychedelic baloney and some gibberish interwoven into it. Thank God I was able to see it live🤗
If u have not done LSD, u will not understand the special effects, luv the color sequence on them, to cool, Palmer should have edited it better, close up shots are to close but as the awesome song moves on, its a testament of the raw power of CREAM and how they took Spoonful and made it their own-------fuckin unforgettable concert of 3 of the greatest musicians born on Earth------- It will never End----
All 3 of them OVERSHADOW ANYONE'S PLAYING AT THAT TIME....HENDRIX,PINK FLOYD,THE DEAD,THE MOTHER'S OF INVENTION,ETC.... (they weren't dubbed the "first supergroup" for nothing)
You'd think. I saw Bruce and Baker twice in the early 90's and was convinced then there, that Clapton was an accessory, a darn excellent accessory. See what i saw and heard sounded like live Cream .
Can't believe people compare zep, purple and Sabbath to Cream. There's no topping Cream. Most other so called heavy bands are to me self indulgent heavy pop
ok....ive heard a million guys shuffle blues/rock drums....nobody does it like Ginger....he gets some beautiful modulations and hand-feet combos going......most guys dont have the stuff or the stones let alone imagination to push the front line instruments in the physical and musical manner Ginger did here......true freedom from or inside the blues changes....the kind of thing you would find the rythm section doing in jazz forms....pushing, coasting, comping , and confronting.
Absolutely right. Ginger even says in one of the Cream vids I have, he says: "That's your gig, that's your job, you make the other guys sound better. That's what Baby did, that's what Elvin did an what Art did. You got so many unique sounds on a kit, there's more then just boom bash, boom bash on a kit." I'm always arguing with people on other vids of Cream about how good Ginger is. You don't need to be a music expert to see what separates him from the rest, if they would just listen to him an not judge him on being a douchebag.
everybody needs that spoonful of something...........best power trio ever i would love to know how Clapton got that guitar tone ........that would be my spoonful.....
Get a Metropoulos JTM45/100; that would be about as close you could get to a real vintage Marshall without paying close to 10k for an amp that may have problems due to it's age. Or if your so inclined you could build your own; the circuitry is almost rudimentary to even a novice amp builder.
These guys created timeless music, cream was one of the most underrated rock bands in the world, pink floyd, led zeppelin... created only a few good songs and practically all of cream's songs are good, they managed to maintain a unique style of music and consistent since the beginning of the band, they created three wonderful albums from start to finish but unitl today the only thing people remember is Pink Floyd... Led Zeppelin...everyone loves these bands, even those who haven't heard even three of their songs start to "like" these bands.It's very sad to know that there were and that there are many musicians today who really have talent but didn't get the recognition they deserved.
Fiery! My only regret is? They don't have the original films this was edited from. Sure, I enjoyed this for years, especially the 1970's when I used to go to the midnight rock movies in Huntington NY. But, I do wish they had the original film s to make a 'proper' film of the whole performance without the '60's era' distractions.
I'm surprised Jack's fingers aren't bloody after this. What earth-rending power! He and Ginger together, a train roaring and thundering down a mountainside. The sound of titans and gods.

Why you think I've been playing since 1990??
I doubt it.
I can see why every other band in America was terrified of Cream when they first breached our shores in 67! Absolutely savage playing from all 3.

3 of the greatest players ever to walk the planet.
Jack's bass playing and wailing vocals are legendary, he's truly missed, RIP Jack
He lives on ✊ 🎸🎤🎶

Absolutly agree....priliant!
The greatest band of all time

@Psychedelic BluesMan greatest musicians of all time?men this guys know how to rock but...
I wonder if the lads brought back some Owsley Stanley’s creation from the west coast swing of the farewell tour? This performance has that feel.
Mmmmmmmmm...😛😍😍
"PLEXI-SUPER LEADS"
(Homer Simpson donut face)
@@monty70
Hmmmmmm 🤔
Makes you wonder huh?
Spoonful is the signature song by Cream; a masterful rendition.
It's like the best Indian Ragas.Transporting you across space & time.
Rare are musicians who can improvising like this...
@Rocks4You97 One has to start from /with a melodic/tonal "vocabulary" to let a stream of consciousness,run where it will.
Jack Bruce is a fuckin force of nature wat a incredible bass player and singer
Listened to Cream for over 50 years pretty constantly. Only Mozart and Bach have the same power and beauty which send me.
Bach' s Ciaccona sure!
20th Century composer Igor Stravinsky was a big fan ., so was conductor Leonard Bernstein.
Super intense version, Eric only played like this when pushed by Jack and Ginger but nobody else could have kept up with them, the physical playing stamina and sustained mental improvisational flow are beyond any other band.
The one and only
Just spellbinding.
I love the frenetic duel between Eric and Bruce. It never ends
Pure musical freedom. The likes of which we will never see again.
Such a great song. Clapton is simply amazing here.
That era was blessed with master musicians Cream was on top of the lists
Robert Cray summed up Jack's singing by saying, Jack Bruce and his wailing vocals were so cool!!!!! I totally agree with him, Jack has one of the perfect voices for singing power blues music.
EC does some unique things in this version. He sounds super on that Gibson 335.
He played super with all Gibson guitars in jtm45/100 in Cream years.Les Paul,SG,Firebird and 335.
best version ever------ no 1 will get it better then CREAM--------
Spoonfull... one of the best songs ever written!
saw these boys in seattle(1966?) at Eagles auditorium. 2 days later went out and bought a Gibson EB-3. 'nough said.
william jc cream didn’t have their first concert in the US until 1967
30 MAY 1968 - Eagles Auditorium Seattle

Farewell Jack. One of my favourite performances ever!
The best 👍
must have listened to this tune everyday for years now and it still sounds brand new !!!
Still sounds fresh today lyrics included
It's like they are fighting each other musically for dominance within the band, especially the bass and drums. Jack and Ginger create this incredibly complex tapestry over which Clapton soars.
its what made them the Cream that rises to the top
I'd say, they are in a gang fight together..knuckle dusters, flick knives, Billy clubs
Thanks to jack and ginger Eric Clapton was at his 100% during this 2 years with cream ! He was pushed to his limits !!
War with no winner
The tapestry is so intricate. It's like Jack and Ginger were in each other's minds.
Nothing like a spoonful of Cream!
I remember listening to this song when I was in 10th grade...wow!!..the Wheels of Fire double album ..mindblowing
Same here, but I was in 7th grade when this great album came out.
Cream. No other..How they improvised off each other ....WOW! A drum kit, bass and guitar...just amazingly awesome
Live cream perhaps more than amything else truly needs to be played LOUD to be fully appreciated
this is ferocious!

Simon Asher..We all miss you…🏴🏴
the passion,the fire ...chops
"It may be that this is the art of tomorrow -" -- eternal, if those to come know what to value
That's it
I 2nd that!!
Cream era Eric Clapton is untouchable.
Bruce's vocals reminds me of a fire and brimstone preacher
Oh jack, you’re always Brucing off on stage, magnificent
It's unfortunate that that the dude that filmed and recorded this had to ruin it with oil lights , psychedelic baloney and some gibberish interwoven into it. Thank God I was able to see it live🤗
Lucky
Just close your eyes and listen to
It was a missed opportunity to see Eric's guitar work.
Bet he is a happier person than you. He filmed this- you … write on UA-cam.
Good looking! Amazing voice!

Jack lived his life in the short time he was with Eric was great with Trower too REST IN PEACE SIR , I was a great fan
One of the best musicians of rock ever!
Truly astounding !!!
Jack Bruce is incredible Scotland is extremely proud genius
the timing on jack bruce, jesus christ!!
I don’t understand how he could sing and play that way at the same time.
I could have done without the silly comments interrupting the listening of this fantastic jam.
Eric's playing overshadows the greatness of Jack and Ginger's playing. That's how damn good he sounds on this one. Amazing.
All 3 of them OVERSHADOW ANYONE'S PLAYING AT THAT TIME....HENDRIX,PINK FLOYD,THE DEAD,THE MOTHER'S OF INVENTION,ETC....
(they weren't dubbed the "first supergroup" for nothing)
Hardly. They were all three equally masterful. You can't remove one strand of the three without undoing the whole thing.

Can't believe people compare zep, purple and Sabbath to Cream. There's no topping Cream.

Best trio along with the Experience
I don't really like comparisons, but I must say Cream as a band were way ahead of The Experience.
they s**t all over the Experience. c'mon. Noel & Mitch arent worthy of tying Jack & Gingers shoelaces.
Cream was the better , balanced/creative force. Jimi and two potted plants got boring unless you were tripping balls of course.
To me Clapton played & sounded best when he had the sg ,cream days were magic

Ginger Baker considers himself a jazz drummer not a rock drummer. He will punch anyone's lights out if they call him a rock drummer.
Don't say that in front of him or that's your teeth mate.
