This was one of the super groups of the 60's. Every one 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 "Crossroads", "Sunshine Of Your Love", "Born Under A Bad Sign", "Tales Of Brave Ulysses", "Strange Brew", "SWLABR" etc.
When my son went off to college in the early 90's, I went to see his dorm room and met his dorm mate. He promptly told me that my son was really cool. I asked what he thought made my son so cool. He replied, he has the best taste in music like The Beatles and Cream and showed me the record albums. I replied that it wasn't my son who was the cool one, it was me. Those were my albums that my son had "borrowed". LOL
When Cream broke up, Clapton and Ginger Baker joined Steve Winwood in the supergroup Blind Faith. All of these musicians were incredible musicians. Definitely need to hear Sunshine of Your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses, Badge, there were so many great songs from the band!
I'm never upset if someone haven't heard a great band before. I'm jealous of the oppurtunity to listen to them with fresh ears. That's why it's so great to see reactions. It takes you back to that "wow moment". Cream are one of the bands that layed the ground for improvisations in rock music. Breaking the boundaries of the three minute limitations of hit single making.
Cream changed my life. Back in 1968, I just turned 13 and got my own radio. I was a huge Beatles fan, to the exclusion of just about everything else. But that night, under the covers in the dark, tuning my radio in with my little earpiece in, I came across Cream playing 'Tales of a Brave Ulysses' and I was entranced, WHAT is this??? The sound of Eric Clapton's Gibson with the wah-wah pedal changed it all for me going forward. 'I NEED MORE OF THIS!'
@@1955billc me too! Also, for me it was both Cream and Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett and John Coltrane who changed the course of my life. (I think the list is even longer with a little thought) we had so much great inspiration in our cultural experiences.
Such a great song from this inventive band. The wonderful opening and Clapton's wah-wah pedal create a pschedelic mood Interesting album artwork was standard for many rock groups
Saeed - You do a great job reacting to great music, you pick some of the best, you work hard- posting a LOT, you always seem to get the meanings, and its just plain fun to watch you take in great music like this. You really do have one of the best Reaction channels and I have no doubt it will grow to be one of the biggest. I wish you well, my friend in music.
A magical time for music. I bought the album in 1968 when I was 13. Jack Bruce introduced to Blues when I was 12 on the first album in 1967 with Sleepy Time Time. Been a Blues Rock Singer since with all my Bands.
My first-ever album…followed Clapton since then! Our parents saw this music as a threat to the kids, and sometimes forbid their kids to listen! I listened, and I am 68, still listening, still here!
It was the world's first platinum selling double album. The inside of the gatefold sleeve followed the cover, but in day-glo orange, green, pink & yellow. A real trip. I wouldn't be surprised if you had heard their "Sunshine of Your Love" before. Tonnes of great songs from these guys. Tales Of Brave Ulysses is an earlier cousin of this song, Politician, Strange Brew and Badge (which Clapton co-wrote with George Harrison of the Beatles). You're analysis of the song is spot on. Pete Brown revealed that the lyrics to "White Room" were condensed from an eight page poem he'd written when he moved into a new white-walled apartment room with bare furnishings, where he gave up drinking and drugs ;-)
That is awesome. Would love to read that poem 😃. I have many memories of a room where a few detoxes happened. Many of the things i saw ended up in my own writing 😅 Great song! Thanks again!
@@SaeedReacts. It's sad that Pete Brown is hardly known these days. He passed away last year (82). He started out as a beat poet and there are many collections of his poetry. I don't think his full White Room is available though. He started incorporating music with the poetry and was in two seminal bands - Pete Brown & the Battered Ornaments and later with Piblokto. Both great bands, in their own right.
Cream’s “White Room” is a song that is highly-metaphorical. The term “white room” is derived from the song’s writer, Pete Brown, literally living in a white room in 1967. And what was particular noticeable about that juncture in time is that he stopped consuming drugs and alcohol. And accordingly, the lyrics featured throughout the song are widely interpreted as being about the singer’s on-again/off-again relationship with drugs. Another way it can be understood is as him recounting his association with a romantic interest. And once again, this relationship doesn’t appear as if it is a consistent one. And Brown has alluded to the idea that the “meandering” nature of this song is about both a romance and his relationship with substances.
Peter Brown moved into a one room flat near a British subway station to kick heroin. Brown alone, wrote an 8 page poem that described the excruciating pain he experienced going through a cold turkey withdrawal, that, with the assistance of Jack Bruce, was later whittled down to the lyrics of White Room. Eric Clapton's WAWA guitar work was considered seminal to later guitar greats in the 1970's, while the 5/4 timing and cord structure was reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix who was mutually influenced by Clapton.
The bass player for Cream Jack Bruce was the first vocalist on White Room and was considered the natural singer, the second singer on that first stanza was Eric Clapton. Ginger Baker was the drummer and at this beginning of their music as a group they were a three man band and came to the US to play in the San Francisco in about 1968 or 69. They were taking the world of hard rock by storm and playing all over in the United States. This was where all the new music was being spotlighted. I remember them coming to San Francisco while Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Grateful Dead were just breaking into the large Rock and Roll venues. I was in college and was able to drive from Oregon down to the Bay Area of San Francisco and see these heretofore brand new sounds. 1968 to 1970 were magic shows for your eyes and ears in that era and it was all a brand new magic. Absolutely the most memorable time in my life regarding music and music theater.
You must watch the 1968 live version of Cream's Crossroads, an old blues song that Clapton turned into a heavy blues-rock number. Clapton plays as well as I have ever heard him, and Jack Bruce nearly plays a second lead on bass. Ginger Baker is on fire as usual. Best 3-man jam in history, IMHO. Don't miss it.
All three members of the band put in great performances, but to me Ginger Baker owns this tune. His bass drums (two of them) have such a great tone and set up an incredible groove, and his tom fills are impeccable.
We all could have your head and brain wrapped up like a pretzel if we started naming all the who's who and what previous bands they were in 😅. Someone mentioned Eric and ginger were in the band called blind faith with Steve Winwood, who was also in a band called Traffic. Eric has been in so many bands through the years as well as his solo career. All these artists had to start somewhere and they all produced epic music. As they got older, they came into their own and found the "sound" that they were looking for. Eric with that blues sounding playing on that guitar. Sheesh and wow is all I can say. We had great music, didn't we, Saeed. Much love to you and your family ❤🫂
There is a lot of information indeed :) It is been educational for sure! You definitely had amazing music! Thanks for watching. Much love to you and your family.
I loved this band when I was younger Ginger Baker - one of the best drummers in the world Eric’s Clapton - he needs no introduction - best blues guitarist of all time

ENJOYYYYY SAEED
This is what I love about your channel; the totally different genres in one night, like lovely different spices in the span of half an hour. Great reaction as always. Greetings from South Africa
🧨🧨🎼🧨🧨 .. you can't really beat Eric Clapton slaying his guitar with other exceptional musicians. I hope you react to "Strange Brew" in the future. Bravo Saeed. 🎸🎸🎸🎸
It seems amazing such a rich sound is produced by a 3-man band in the 1960s, until you realize those three members are world class musicians at the top of their game. Clapton is often regarded as a top 3 all-time rock guitarist, if not #1. Baker is similarly regarded as a drummer. That era produced so many great bands comprised of fantastic musicians who mostly wrote and performed their own music. Clapton was using a fuzz and a wawa to create that guitar sound and it was an unusual, pioneering type of sound for that period. Baker fashioned his own drum skins to create the sound he wanted. Both are masterclass musicians.
Good Morning Saeed! I love this song, but my husband is more of a fan of this group, so this is the only song I know by them, at least to my knowledge! Great reaction, as usual!
1979. I taped music from the radio. I still have this on a C-cassette! By the way, you and I are too young to be expected to know Cream, and I'm 63! It took me years to find out the name of this song. Thanks!
This song is one of the Foundation Blocks of Psychedelic Rock. Keep em coming. The Yardbirds "Over, Under, Sideways, Down"is a really good song as well. Same genre from another foundation band. Also from Cream please consider "Tales of Brave Ulysses". As a writer you will appreciate the lyrics very much on that one. Thanks! Excellent reactors like yourself really appreciate the past and keep this great music alive!
Umm I grew up in the late 60s/early 70s and was passionate about music. With no internet I knew who say Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Robert Johnson and others were, even if I may not have heard their music in depth or at all. These were all well before my time. I accept that there is way way more bands/artists in popular music history now and we are all led in our investigations by what we may like rather than open ended curiosity....but a basic knowledge of key bands of key eras...with the whole world of music at your fingertips...should be par for the course no?
When Eric Clapton heard The Band, he quit Cream and flew from England to New York and drove up to Woodstock to meet with The Band. Years later when he inducted The Band into the rock and roll of fame, he admitted he wanted to join the, but didn't have the nerve to ask. In an interview Robbie Robertson said in an interview, when he heard Clapton wanted to quit Cream "Gee what is the problem I kind like Cream.
@@SaeedReacts. Clapton had to work too hard in Cream to keep up his intensity with Bruce and Baker's playing. Bruce and Baker fought like mad men and Clapton had enough being brought to tears...he was seeking relief.
"yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes" You: "Wow". Indeed, wow. Lyrics by Pete Brown who was coming off of drugs in a white room. Drugs only led him to "black roof country". Cream was the first legit supergroup, Eric Clapton (wah-wah frenzy on this one) Ginger Baker (swaggering drums), and Jack Bruce (operatic vocals. Only Jack could have done this song/poem justice). It was said that as far as bass players there was Jack Bruce and then everybody else. Jack and EC would get into intense duels. Cream was known mostly for endlessly inventive jams. This was one of their best songs. Those Were The Days, same album, is even better. IMO. Cover art by Martin Sharp. What can one say? Reality was different back then. Believe me.
@@SaeedReacts. Brown actually made a living as a poet. That's hard to do. Cream hired him part-time as their "house poet". He wrote lyrics on some of their other songs. He was once described as "The sanest of madmen." Cream was only together for two years but they stood the world of music on its head. I urge you to dive deeper
Eric Clapton is the only person to be inducted into The Rock and Hall of Fame three times. As a solo artist and for the band The Yardbirds and Cream. He was a member of 9 bands.
Just to be clear, I can watch and enjoy your journey of musical discovery of these past magical eras, but I am old now, and going through a surgery here in Asia and cannot participate as I might like to. As we have laptops currently, I can watch your time of discovery in a kind of real time and remember how I was affected in the 1970's and beyond. Interests me to know that people now are discovering what was a magic time in history in my past.
You stumbled on a good one. I’m sure you’ll get all the history, and requests for Crossroads live, which you should definitely do. When Eric Clapton got tired of jamming and being a guitar wizard he started looking for real music: Delaney and Bonnie, The Band, and especially JJ Cale. Definitely check out Eric and JJ Cale Ride the River.
Cream of the crop Ginger Baker drums Jack Bruce Bass and vocals Eric Clapton guitar and vocals react to Crossroads and Sunshine of Your Love as well as toad by cream
Same album- a song just as trippy is 'World of Pain'. Really psychedelic, man! Oops, I messed up. 'World of Pain' is on the Cream, 'Disraeli Gears' album.
This was one of the super groups of the 60's. Every one 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.

That is high praise! Thanks for watching.
Later today a reaction to another supergroup is coming.
First voice Jack Bruce,.. second voice Eric Clapton !
I think it's all Jack
Jack Bruce! GOAT on bass
Great lyrics by Pete Brown.
🔥🔥🔥 great pick. Cream is one of Rock's early Supergroups. Clapton sounds awesome, vocally and on the Axe 🎸
He is indeed. ✊ 🎸
Such a great song from this inventive band. The wonderful opening and Clapton's wah-wah pedal create a pschedelic mood Interesting album artwork was standard for many rock groups
Ginger Baker. No one played like him. Amazing touch and his "fills" are what makes him my favorite drummer. RIP Ginger.

guitar wizard he started looking for real music: Delaney and Bonnie, The Band, and especially JJ Cale. Definitely check out Eric and JJ Cale Ride the River.
Has no idea that Eric Clapton was in this band before this. Definitely want to explore more of all these artists.
I freaking LOVE J.J. Cale ❤
you have to dive into jimi Hendrix...Electric Ladyland Album...or Axis Bold as Love Album..or Are You Experienced album...please!

Cream of the crop indeed!
Thanks for watching and the recommendation.
Liked when it was used in Joker.
I saw it in theatres, but cant remember this song. If i ever rewatch it, i will recognize it 😄
You owe me a new screen 😂😂😂😂😂
You dropped your phone? What happened 😅🤣
@@SaeedReacts. Punching it like you said at the start 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should listen to Crossroads from the same album.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Same album- a song just as trippy is 'World of Pain'. Really psychedelic, man! Oops, I messed up. 'World of Pain' is on the Cream, 'Disraeli Gears' album.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Eric Clapton on Guitar.
Had no idea he was in this band 😯
Cream : Do That Scrapyard Thing. I have no idea what that song is about. (Sorry for the spamming.)
Thanks for that recommendation. Interesting title.
I’m sure you know Eric Clapton, though. Right?
I do know a few songs by him, but had no idea he was in this band.
Lol....
I just sent a message for 2 different recommendations (suggestions) that are from Bread NOT Cream.🤷
