Definitely check out their original live performance of Crossroads from 1968 - it's much more energetic than this version, and all 3 are totally on fire.
I wholeheartedly agree, I feel as though Clapton fell flat in this performance, and that their rhythm was off. I didn’t feel the passion.
From the Wheels of Fire double album. The live disc.

This is the best!
RIP jack and Ginger. Musical geniuses
Three of the best Rock musicians of all time. Thanks for the video. ☮❤🎶
...and two of the greatest jazz musicians.
You're making the connection now, that's what is important.
1968 the summer before I started High School, I got Cream "Crossroads" my first Album from the Capitol record club, Hooked ever since😂 👌 great reaction 🤣 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ your 70 year old forever hippie Gary😊
I don't think they released an album called "Crossroads". Not in the UK anyway. The single Crossroads was from the Wheels Of Fire album
Great reaction! I think that I like Eric Clapton's voice as much now as I did in the 1970's, maybe more. He hasn't lost a thing.
You would really listen to the live version back in the 60s what a difference between the two both versions are great
This version is tame by comparison. Still good but.............🙂
I love thus channel. Ty MOA. This performance was spectacular as your reaction was. ☘️🇺🇸
Many thanks 👍💚
Love your reactions!
"...asked the Lord above have mercy, save me if you please."
LOVE ME SOME CREAM!!! THANKS, YA'LL for reacting to this one!! :) HUGS!!!
The old guys played great at these reunion shows! Cream defined the power trio, with the Jimi Hendrix Experience soon after ...
Eric was always a guitar virtuoso, and blues disciple, but when he joined forces with Jack and Ginger they pushed him to heights that he didn't know he had in him. A superb soloist, some of his playing with Cream was otherworldly. When that group disbanded after a mere two years he began a period of good but uninspired music. With this reunion he returned to his former heights. Listen to Stormy Monday from this concert. A tour de force for EC. Jaw-dropping
Are you saying the Layla album is uninspired ?
@@calumg9424 It's okay. The title track was inspired by Duane Allman's supernatural slide. Then the energy was drained by the interminable piano finish. He had his moments post-Cream. Motherless Children was a banger. But he never reached his previous heights until the reunion concert. Stormy Monday was a tour de force. That was the real EC, wailer extraordinaire. Frankly I found most of his post-Cream music boring
This is why i love watching your reactions as you bring back so many memories of my younger days. I was 16 years old when I first heard Cream and this is my favorite song from them. Yes please listen and react to this song only do the studio version and you'll hear more of the energetic side of the song. By the way their drummer, Ginger Baker was a big inspiration in making me become a drummer. Thank you for being such a cool couple, you always make my day. I almost forgot please do this song done by Lynyrd Skynyrd live it's also a big banger. Just to add, Lynyrd Skynyrd is my all-time favorite southern rock band. Freebird is my favorite song. Just a short story, i had the chance to see Skynyrd in Fresno California where I'm from 3 months before the plane crash that killed some of the band members, but I didn't go and now every time I hear one of their songs i get emotional because I missed out on seeing them. ❤❤❤you much.
Thank you for sharing this with us...music is amazing. Brings us closer together ☺️ Love and peace from Romania 💚
This was one of the super groups of the 60's. Everyone of the 3 guys (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker & Eric Clapton) was super talented but they also had big egos. So they didn't always get a long. They all came from previous successful bands. But in the few short years they were together they produced some classic songs such as "White Room", "Sunshine Of Your Love", "I Feel Free", "Born Under A Bad Sign", "Tales Of Brave Ulysses", "Strange Brew", "SWLABR" etc.
The original song is by Robert Johnson from the 1930’s. Supposedly he Met the devil in a crossroad and they made a deal. Johnson sold his soul so he would become a Great guitar player. That’s the main legend from blues genre.
Yeah that was how he built his image, the real truth of course is that he just worked very hard on the road, and by the time he got back home he had improved so much the folks figured it was by those methods
This is kind of a watered down version of the original Cream recording. Cream was Clapton at his absolute best - style, tone, note choice, - all of it was incredible.
The Family Tree of Eric Clapton muscian wise, is untouchable. 😊
Isn't amazing what a full sound can be achieved by only three (amazingly talented) musicians. Also, most of the English bands you have reacted to are mostly playing live, with no mistakes and as good as the studio version!
Talking of professors. As you are wearing glasses it reminded me of this.
Bluestocking (also spaced blue-stocking or blue stockings) is a term for an educated, intellectual woman, originally a member of the 18th-century Blue Stockings Society from England led by the hostess and critic Elizabeth Montagu (1718-1800), the "Queen of the Blues", including Elizabeth Vesey (1715-1791)
That's so cool. Thank you for sharing 😊
Check out the version from Tokyo 1988 - it has Mark Knopfler on guitar. He toured with Clapton that year and is on the entire show with Elton John on some songs too.
Eric’s vocals as he shreds the frets is a lethal combination: knocks you out!
Tempo is slowed down from the original but what a great sound.
Yup! You two kids Andrei and Domenika would have fit into the 1960s and 70 music scene just right! LOL! 🎸💖💖💖
We need a time machine! 💚
@@MerchantOfAlba You know, this is a strange time we live in where the music that came from 50 years or more ago is so much superior to what comes out today. Sometimes younger people scoff at that until they experience the blues and rock music you two are finding. Not that I'm ancient, I'm only 66. But I do know that what came back then is infinitely better than rap and hip hop. Perhaps try Jackson Browne's "Doctor My Eyes." You two will _really_ like that one! 😁
That concert stand was an absolute triumph. Don't forget this was 39 years after their formation, and they had not played together for a great long while.
I was at the Madison Square Garden Monday night show.
This is a cover of the Robert Johnson classic Delta Blues song from the early 1930's. Clapton is a big fan of of Delta Blues . There is a lot more complex instrumentalism than in the original .
❤❤❤
Sometimes is overwhelming how much talent, and innovation came out of the late 60,and 70’s! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Mr. Clapton said that SRV was the GOAT! 😉
The original rockers and still one of the best. They set a very high bar for everyone who followed. Pity they couldn’t stand the sight of each other.
This was the first time they had played together after probably 30 years. They broke up in the 60s after only being tother 2 - 3 years but they left us with one hell of a legacy. Still a great performance.
Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana are tied for Top Rock guitarist for me! Many thanks for this one!
This is a slower version than on the Album.
Ginger Baker was primarily a jazz drummer before Cream. And his skills (or chops) influenced an entire generation of rock drummers with something few could match, but almost all of them tried.
Great super group! Love them.
Thank you for this❤
Cream was the one of the most prolific bands in the space of less than 3 years in the 60's.
Like Buffalo Springfield, lovin Spoonfull, Mamas and the Papas, The Animals, to name a few that only lasted a couple of years but made a big impact.
Beware of Mr. Baker!!! They were definitely the 'Cream of the crop' in the 60s! Thanks much for reacting to this classic!
You want to see them perform this in their prime? This is the most famous version of the song from 1968: ua-cam.com/video/7HfkSzsyh1E/v-deo.html
More bluesy than the harder, frenetic 1968 live version.
Eric Clapton has made the comment that because Cream broke up in 1968, they left the door wide open for Zeppelin to come in and fill that spot in rock. And I would not disagree with that. Being a young adult at that time, Cream and Hendrix were, to my recollection, considered the “hardest” bands out there. When Cream disbanded, that created a slot. And Zeppelin was perfectly suited for it. With even a harder sound.
A great old band.But if you have the time please check out Eric Clapton - River Of Tears (Live Video) | Warner Vault. it is old but still great.Cheers and stay safe.
Could you please react to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Sissel Kyrkjebø?
All I can say is your first time ever listening to Cream shouldn’t have been the lounge act version from their reunion lol… Do yourself a favor and listen to the original 1968 barn burner! Very important band historically.
Thank you. We'll check it out 😁
Not my favorite song by them. Clapton was a mean guitarplayer back then, Baker exceptional and Bruce is a great singer (too bad this is "carried" by Claptons rather weak vocals. Love him, but THE MOMENT YOU SAID IT i while tiping this: he always sang like a teacher in music class to me. THAT timing was really weird!!!)
Not nearly as good as their origional
