Jack Bruce (bass), Ginger Baker (drums) and the incomparable Eric Clapton on guitar -- perhaps the premier 3-man rock-n-roll group in music history. Single out that bass line that Bruce plucks at rocket speed -- crisp 'n' clean!
Nice reaction. Cream is considered the first ever super group. Three of the greatest musicians who ever was-Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker.
The greatest 3-man jam in history!! The guitar!! The bass!! The drums!! Yes, this song is the origin of the urban legend about the crossroads, written by Robert Johnson about his deal with the devil.
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. One of the greatest groups ever. I see this is ur first reaction to them. Sunshine of yr Love, White Room, Badge , Strange Brew all very good songs. Great time for music, fortunate to have experienced it.
Before Led Zeppelin we had Cream. After they disbanded, it was nice there was a Zeppelin taking off. Clapton, Page (and also Jeff Beck) were veterans of the Yardbirds. That was the 1st of the British Blues bands we heard. Life changing?
@@davescurry69 Not in their blues imitator category. (didn't have Clapton) Animals had Eric Burdon (Them had Van Morrison) but it was the Yardbirds that spun off Zeppelin. As far as time goes, they were all about the same.
@chrisjamieson3452 the early Stones had an excellent slide guitarist (Jones) which none of the others had (even Clapton wasn't a slide player then) and two harmonica players: one good (Jagger), and one brilliant (Jones). Plus the Stones had Ian Stewart's superb blues and boogie piano. I know I'm being pedantic, but you can't call the Yardbirds the first British blues band when they weren't. The Stones were the band more than anyone else, who brought the blues back to the U.S (in the mainstream music scene).
@@davescurry69 I was attempting to convey that I did actually hear a Yardbirds album before the Stones or Animals at home. Also I was trying to tie them into the sonic blues overload of Zeppelin. Some reactors call Zeppelin a Heavy Metal band, but I just comment they are Blues Rock. I also do still have every Stones album from their 1st to Tattoo You. I love their studio work, not so much live. Also was a big fan of the Animals, Kinks & the Who. I saw the Stones twice in the 70's and they were not good concerts. I felt Brian Jones was the best musician. I tended to think Keith was a little overrated & preferred Keith Relf to Mick. But in the studio, they produced very good albums with some excellent players sitting in.
'Slappin' the bass. That percussive sound by plucking the string on a bass with the finger and slap picking with the thumb. (often finger picks high octave note and thumb pick slaps the lower octave note on the down beat) Heard often in disco and funk music and by players such as Flee in rock bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Sessions for Robert J is Eric Clapton’s great live in studio double album documentary style tribute to Robert Johnson’s music backed by a great band including Billy Preston ( r I p ) on keyboards, Steve Gadd on drums and Doyle Bramhall II on guitars 🎸 so underrated…
I've noticed that most 3-man line ups have amazing bass players, especially Cream (Jack Bruce) but also The Police (Sting) & my personal favourites The Jam (Bruce Foxton)!!
Absolute classic, Clapton was a monster in the 60s. For nore, do Had to Cry Today from his next band, Blind Faith with Steve Winwood. Great stuff, Clapton was God in those days. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥
A three piece band: guitar (Eric Clapton), bass (Jack Bruce), and drums (Ginger Baker). Each is worth looking up on their own merits. But I have to say, the most underrated today is... Ginger Baker.
Hi Ms.D. a great great song with I'm not an expert but I think it's a great bass line. Play the Mr Jack Bruce.. Mr Eric's playing goes without saying.. ♠️Mr G..
This is a live performance from March of 1968, not 1966. To get a better perspective on what Cream's legacy would be, listen to any of the Billboard Top 40 songs from that month. That will help you realize what a different level that group achieved.
Just in case it hasn't been pointed out, the video clip is from the Royal Albert Hall November 11, 1968, but the audio is taken from their Wheels Of Fire album, and was recorded on March 10, 1968.
2:242:272:30 Pretty groovy song! Clapton always seemed to be part of a 🗝️ key band! As I've mentioned before, Hotel 🛍️🏨 California is my favorite song of all time! #2 is It's A Long Way There by The Little River Band, and 3rd Layla by Derek and the Dominoes! I could write about all the music 🎵🎵 I dig for a while, but I won't THEN again, I guess I will! I had to respond to what you said! I don't know why and how people come up with these notions about making deals with that neferious, dark and hideous entity! Why can't people give credit to the natural abilities and talents of these artists? The 27 club is more credible I guess, but people are so unpredictable and all over the place! Last thing, GOD will always prevail over any dark entity and will save us and take us to our happy place! Just wait until it actually happens! Goodbye!
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
I’d like to hear your take on one of Joplin’s sadly neglected sleepers from that era: “Farewell Song” on the album “Live at Winterland ‘68” by Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin. - -
Saw them perform this back then at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. Their performances were much more insane then this. "You had to be there to understand." Google Cream at the Grande to see a full concert.

Great reaction ! Love to see younger generations discovering the music that was real !!
Loved the reaction! Yes, Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience were at the forefront of blues-based psychedelic jam rock at this time!
Wow Angela is “dropping Dimes” Cream is the standard by which all others are measured🎼
Jeez!
Almost 60 years old, & it still sounds just as fresh as ever!! 😲
Up next for you should be "I Feel Free", such a great fun rock song! Great to see you dancing in your seat as always Angie! x
Beautiful Angela. Cream was a great group.
Nice reaction. Cream is considered the first ever super group. Three of the greatest musicians who ever was-Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker.
One of the first to do it and still one of the best of all times 🤟👹❤️
Absolute masters of the art
Jack Bruce bass playing is incredible
The greatest 3-man jam in history!! The guitar!! The bass!! The drums!! Yes, this song is the origin of the urban legend about the crossroads, written by Robert Johnson about his deal with the devil.
a classic introduction to the phenom Clapton.....'nuff said
A smile is worth 1,000 words. Nice work.
I never really paid attention to Clapton until Derek and the Dominoes...I hardly recognize him here..but he's a great performer and always will be!
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. One of the greatest groups ever. I see this is ur first reaction to them. Sunshine of yr Love, White Room, Badge , Strange Brew all very good songs. Great time for music, fortunate to have experienced it.
Fantastic musicians! One of the top rock bands!! 😅
really enjoyed this performance and also your dancing contribution.
Jeez, Eric Clapton has always been so consistent! Talk about hard rock, no wonder I started shaving when I was 11 years old! 😅🤣🤪😂
Written by the great Robert Johnson around 1932, he also wrote Sweet Home Chicago
Listen to that crazy bass line.😊
Ya just had to be there! Amazing
I read once that Leonard Bernstein was a fan of this group. He had good taste.
Probably the best bunch of musicians god put breath into !

The Yardbirds weren't the first of the British blues bands. Both The Stones and The Animals predate The Yardbirds.

This is the music we saw LIVE at Winterland San Francisco on a Friday night for $5.00 general admission.
Never heard this before but I like it
Great song.
Crossroads was written and originally recorded by Robert Johnson.
Angela, you made another great choice... Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker... Pure heaven...
Power group . Still get the chills.
'Slappin' the bass. That percussive sound by plucking the string on a bass with the finger and slap picking with the thumb. (often finger picks high octave note and thumb pick slaps the lower octave note on the down beat) Heard often in disco and funk music and by players such as Flee in rock bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
I swear Clapton could play until the strings give out. That cat lives to play and thank god.
Its amazing how good they Played with each other yet they didn't get along, they would Fistfight,
Sessions for Robert J is Eric Clapton’s great live in studio double album documentary style tribute to Robert Johnson’s music backed by a great band including Billy Preston ( r I p ) on keyboards, Steve Gadd on drums and Doyle Bramhall II on guitars 🎸 so underrated…

However the audio is from one of their albums. I don't know if it's from the same concert as is shown in the video.
Cream, Led Zep, Deep Purple, and Grand Funk Railroad could catch that extra gear, aggressive and talented.
early rock royalty
I like your channel.
Buddy Guy was a huge influence on Clapton, Hendrix, Paige, et al .
This is a 1968 recording, DayOne.
Just in case it hasn't been pointed out, the video clip is from the Royal Albert Hall November 11, 1968, but the audio is taken from their Wheels Of Fire album, and was recorded on March 10, 1968.

apocalyptic electric blues apotheosis.
They made some great music in the 60's. This is a good one although not my favourite of theirs. Great guitar from Eric Clapton.
👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃😃
Before Bonham, Ginger Baker was banging hard and heavily influenced by African beats.
Only Robert Johnson is supposed to have sold his soul to the devil. Naturally, he didn't but that is the legend.
I’d like to hear your take on one of Joplin’s sadly neglected sleepers from that era: “Farewell Song” on the album “Live at Winterland ‘68” by Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin.

Lynyrd Skynyrd does a great cover of this tune.
This video is not 1966, I believe its 68
Page Clapton SRV
This aint 66 babe
I don't understand. You comment the video effects but not the quality of the music !!! So superficial !!
