This is such a bloody shame: They cut this track down to 5 minutes...It was originally over 20 minutes long!!! They cut out the guitar and bass solos, and reduced Ginger's solo to 2 minutes!!! It's cut in, right in the middle of the solo. Ginger never started Do What You Like with both bass drums, but with an african pattern, alternating between toms and snare! I would love to see the whole uncut version, since this,together with Toad, is one of the 2 greatest drum solos in history!!!
Aloha to all the old Hippies wow what a time it was=the BEST!! have seen a documentry on G Baker #1=there are no words to describe when I hear the song/it takes me back I don't even know=super you all take care!
love it. im 18 but completely mesmerized by this music. i hate being from the 21st century where music is tasteless and without heart. onif i ever reincarnation i want to be part of the 60s
Still playin' and singing, September 2018. What a hopeful music when I first heard it many years ago. Could certainly use some hopeful breakthrough music today.
2:55 Elvin Jones infamous comment on Baker's solo in Do What You Like in Life magazine was (paraphrasing); "Cat's got delusions of grandeur with no grounds. They should make him an astronaut and lose his ass."
How about '66 when Jefferson Airplane appeared on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, singing 'Don't you Want Somebody to Love'? We'd been surviving on Elvis, Fats, Little Richard etc, since '57, and were about to go under again, and then we got a last minute save from Sonny and Cher in '65, singing 'I Got You Babe' ('They say we're young and we don't know' was a song lyric that kept us alive.) And then there was the Airplane and Blind Faith and everyone talking freedom and love -
Thankful I got to hear Ginger solo on "Do What You Like" the day of the first moon landing July 20 1969. Got to hear him do Toad with Cream Nov. 3 1968. Anyone out there got the full video and solo? It is a travesty that they cut what sounded like a great solo. Another example of Stigwood mismanagement of Cream and Blind Faith.
I love Blind Faith.They were not around long enough in my opinion just like Cream.Winwood,Clapton,Baker,and the Bass player(I think the same guy from Traffic-forgot his name)are all Masters of their craft.What a group and what a sound they had.They are my 8th favorite Rock group of all genre's after,7-Deep Purple,6-The Eagles,5-Led Zeppelin,4-The Police,3-tie between Pink Floyd & The Beatles,2-Genesis(Peter Gabriel Era),and 1-Yes.After 8- Blind Faith is 9-Traffic,10-Cream,& 11-Grateful Dead.
I've been on a kick listening to this drum solo from the album....and there's certain beats he's doing where I'm wondering just how he's doing it. I see now that's he's barely using his second mounted tom...if at all during the solo. He's mainly going from the first tom to the floor tom. Which I'm glad because that's what I prefer....one mounted tom and then two floor toms.
Maybe there's a few notes off here and there..but it just makes it more wonderful. The worst "live" performances of the 60's, are still way way better than any of the studio recordings of today, as far as I'm concerned. These concerts were raw and unedited, unpretentious, with no help from "special effects." They were all heart. Where's the heart today in music?
that is stevie winwood on keyboards, Eric clapton on Guitar, Ginger Baker on drums, and rice greco on bass. Wish i was there.. Best of the Best/ in general the best music there was.

juvedo99 there is a lot 60's music available like here on youtube. used cd stores, etc. I sometimes find stuff from your generation that is kick ass. so it works both ways. just need to research some. good music is timeless. I follow a lot of bands that played at Bill Grahams the Fillmore then like a tree follow how bands have spread. and good listening. Maybe find a couple bands you dig and seewhat bands are similiar. I have a book Art of the Fillmore and research bands. Peace.
@rasppatrol1 thanks for your comment. ive foundd lots of prog jazz and prog rock that really are a breath of fresh air. if i may, you should.check out circa survive and t.r.a.m which is a cool prog jazz instrumental band with metal undertones oh and also animals as leaders.
The bass player was Rick Grech from Family. He joined Traffic after Traffic reformed. I loved Family, but Grech was an OK bass player, not a great one. He also played violin, which added a little sonic variety to the mix. Also, in Clapton's words, he was a great guy.
Baker is so good he actually starts smoking a joint in the middle of his solo, and then not,....awesome. Look at 2:53, 3:47, 4:15. Great band, great drummer, to bad clapton was't playing his lead to this song.
@grannynara @grannynara everything was better back then.. the one thing which was really better, that no one said everthing was better back then... don't be so pesimistic and just look out for the great musicians today. FOO FIGHTERS, MUSE, COLDPLAY, RHCP, ARCTIC MONKES; FOXY SHAZAM, MARS VOLTA and and and...
RIP Ginger, and thank you for all the wonderful recordings I could hear almost my whole life with you firing the drums !!

R.I.P. Ginger, one of the best drummers of all time❤
yeah, the studio version is one of my favorite Ginger's solos. Some of the stuff the man can do in 5/4 just absolutely blows me away.
Very sad to hear of Jack Bruce passing... God bless him
Jack was not part of this group....
Thinking about cream mate
kanasatka1 ~> B-b-b-but Ginger Baker was! ☺
@@WytZox1 RIP Ginger Baker then :D
The Bassist is Rick Grech.
Lol'd at dancing crowd after song is over.
Also, Ginger Baker in this concert has some great playing. These mixed cymbal-snare patterns make me melt.
RIP Ginger. A truly great drummer. Shame his entire solo isn't shown in this clip...
I have this on DVD. It is a testament to 4 outstanding musicians. Ginger Baker was a great drummer. May he rest in peace.

LUV' Blind Faith!... Happy 74th B-day Mr. Baker
Rest in Peace, Ginger Baker. You will always live in our hearts. ♥
One of the few video's I've seen with no dislikes and rightly so.
Still playin' and singing, September 2018. What a hopeful music when I first heard it many years ago. Could certainly use some hopeful breakthrough music today.
Classic! Awesome quality for the 70's
Back again for one more fill, still feels on top. Please let me go back --one more time.
2:55 Elvin Jones infamous comment on Baker's solo in Do What You Like in Life magazine was (paraphrasing); "Cat's got delusions of grandeur with no grounds. They should make him an astronaut and lose his ass."
This is the best piece of knowledge I've acquired all year.
Then Baker and Elvin Jones met up in early 71’ and hashed the feud.
ThePeanutButterCup13 Too bad the feud was dealt with in 1971.
How about '66 when Jefferson Airplane appeared on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, singing 'Don't you Want Somebody to Love'? We'd been surviving on Elvis, Fats, Little Richard etc, since '57, and were about to go under again, and then we got a last minute save from Sonny and Cher in '65, singing 'I Got You Babe' ('They say we're young and we don't know' was a song lyric that kept us alive.)

Don't forget the Animals in "65". He took Hendrix on a trip to London and the rest was history.
These guys are musical genius

How I wish I had a time machine to hear this one of my personal best songs at that cool place, Winwood, Baker, Clapton... DO WHAT YOU LIKE

oh my God I grew up with this music, just getting back to it
It is timeless stuff
Great track...kind of reminds me of "What A Bring Down" by Cream. Love the whole concert. Thanks, A.
R.I.P. Ginger. The Great Gig in the Sky is getting much louder! ♥️
Takes me back to a seminal time, never to return.
Es increíble la calidad del video, y del talento de estos mastersss

one of my favorite videos. TY ~
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!
Love the jazz feeling of this song.
crazy cool video- sometimes good guys end up on top.. and not last either
that is stevie winwood on keyboards, Eric clapton on Guitar, Ginger Baker on drums, and rice greco on bass. Wish i was there.. Best of the Best/ in general the best music there was.
Ric Gretch on bass...
Ric Grech on bass...
I have the complete song, it takes a whole LP-side... :)
Has a real jazz fill to it .
I bought the album in 1970!!!
Wonder what it would be worth if not opened
Excellent stuff!!!!
Everything Clapton does in these times was so great. Winwood is one of the greatest "white" singers of all time.
Singer of any color
Absolut mega!!!!!!!!

Can I ask an obvious question? Why did Clapton's guitar solo get edited out?
WE WERE ALL YOUNG ONCE APPON A TIME
click on the soccer ball...ahahhaa. Blind Faith is awesome even with vuvuzelas.
@rasppatrol1 thanks for your comment. ive foundd lots of prog jazz and prog rock that really are a breath of fresh air. if i may, you should.check out circa survive and t.r.a.m which is a cool prog jazz instrumental band with metal undertones oh and also animals as leaders.
classic rock.
Best EVER
@thekaje2
Yes, it's cover of (or it's inspired by :)) Dave Brubeck's "Take five"(written by Paul Desmond)...
And Ginger admitted that was what inspired him to write it.
best, better, awesome
wonderfull !!!
En el recuerdo.........¡TRIANA!
You are 100% right
Classic!
The cream of the cream: Nata
On 4:23 did he patch his bass skin with some sort of glue? Anybody during that seen can please tell me?
bei tempi andati....
The bass player was Rick Grech from Family. He joined Traffic after Traffic reformed. I loved Family, but Grech was an OK bass player, not a great one. He also played violin, which added a little sonic variety to the mix. Also, in Clapton's words, he was a great guy.
where was set this show? It seems some kind of festival... do you know which one (place & year if possible). Thanks
London's Hyde Park, 1969
Ginger Baker ♥️
Baker is so good he actually starts smoking a joint in the middle of his solo, and then not,....awesome. Look at 2:53, 3:47, 4:15. Great band, great drummer, to bad clapton was't playing his lead to this song.
오~! 에릭 클랩톤이 기타를~ 스티브 윈우드가 절창을~
Auf den Video ist sein solo zu sehen. Aber er war größte jazzdrummer. Ginger hate it, if you call him a rockdrummer
@alaxyoung1

The full album version of this song includes Eric Clapton's finest solo of all time. Nothing he did after this could compare.
I fucking know. My God it's unfathomable, the heights they reached on this album.
Da führt son Kiffer die Bildregie
amm 0:08 Donovan ?
UFO at 00:38
Wonder why Clapton and Grech didn't solo.
Na und, der Trachtenverein Bad Berleburg wars zum Glück nicht. LG
Just wait 'till 2012, it's even worse...
yes!!!..fuck rap..this is is what you like!
Clone them before it is too late! Then send me a Steve Winwood, about age 40 will be fine.....
@facti85 maybe you should buy a guitar and some l.s.d....???
Found this version with Jan Akkerman and Ginger Bakers son Kofi.
