He actually does have a good voice, which is why I never understood why he sounded so bad durin' the Royal Albert Hall show in '68, I don't know if he was tired, sick and or wasted on drugs and booze, but I couldn't listen without cringing.
If you listen to the background vocals on Pretty Flamingo by Manfred Mann you can actually recognize Bruce's voice pretty clearly if you know how he sounds.
Not just a few love his voice. I fell in love with the band Cream when I was 13 in 1968. Jack's voice was a big part of that, and defined Cream for me. Not to underestimate the brilliant playing of all three of them!
Yes. Although with Ginger, there was added percussion like no one had ever heard before, and the two were synergistic, pushing Jack to higher musical feats
@@catherinecrow5662 It was indeed ‘like no one had ever heard before.’ A complete surprise of a style on some fairly usual drums. I had never heard that before. And impeccable time.
I love Jack. Sad to see how "out of it" he was in the video. It was well known his struggles with addiction. Yet, when the music starts, he becomes the monster musician he is!
Can't get enough of Jack Bruce! Politician is just priceless!! What a great bassist and vocals! Wow! Will never stop listening and watching him perform. Grat glory to the Cream! 🎶🎶🎶💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌For me, one of the best groups in the world in its birth! Mind-blowing 👀👀🤯🤯🤯🤯😊😊😊😊
@@marktulk4225 Many fantastic singers work really hard on their vibrato and the best of them use it only when they want it. I work with opera singers routinely. The best of them make superb use of vibrato to sell a lyric, to command emotional attention to a word or phrase. It is an essential tool of singers the world over and by no means in opera alone.
@@artysanmobile Bullshit. The singers of MODERN Opera (late 1800s - present) have the PHONY AFFECTATION of very wide vibrato, because - until very recently - had no amplification, thus with larger audiences, sang with vibrato ( frequency modulation, FM ), every, STINKING NOTE, BECAUSE THEY'RE INCAPABLE OF SINGING WITHOUT IT !!! I challenge you to have one of your opera singers recite 2 octaves WITHOUT vibrato. They won't be able to do it, because the PHONY AFFECTATION of singing every note with that stinking, wide vibrato has been brainwashed into them. ** There are a few, great populat singers who do perform with NO vibrato, or very little (eg Chade' Adu , Astrid Gilberto [ RIP ] , etc.) to great effect. ** Note : I never criticize a performer, unless I can do better, myself.

Jaysus oh wow! I have never seen this before. I feel kind of bad for Jack because I know where he was at in those days. (daze) Lets not discuss that. We'll just appreciate the sheer honesty here. I adore this human being. Always have. So lovely and brilliant. (footage cut short but ah well)
0:11 Jack Bruce is 29 years old in this video. Does he look only 29 to you? The life of a touring musician is evidently pretty rough... RIP Jack Bruce. Your music is and always will be legendary.
It's startling how Jack can look handsome one moment, then seedy, unhealthy, and almost homely at another--yet blazingly hot throughout. Sometimes he looks so thin and frail you just want to invite him in for milk and cookies. But then, with that passionate voice and driving bass, he is commanding, and you know he'll pull you into the bedchamber where for hours you'll tangle like minks.

This is a much funkier version I think mainly due to John Marshall and Chris Spedding. Its the best one.Pity they didn't take it further.... and let us see the whole thing.
I think the entire song isn't much longer and I think it's in the short film about Jack Bruce...I forget the name of it but you can find it by searching.... it's a great documentary on Jack 👌☮️🎸🎤🌻
Second best version ever? You decide.Does this beat Bruce /Gallagher /O' Neill? In both versions the drummer outshines everyone.😁❤👍 So it boils down to Brendan O'Neill V John Marshall. Votes please. I sure as hell can't decide!😏
@@rexus9840 Good comment!👍😁❤ I'm trying,and determined to find out now. The Dutch "Swing In" thing link is at the top. Let me know if you find out, otherwise watch this space!😉
WTF was it with film makers in the 70's. They'd do the "zoom in/out" with the beat, get close-ups so tight you can see nose hairs, be out of focus...totally sucked.
I think part of the problem is that the aspect ratio of the video is wrong too. You can see some of the subtitles at the bottom of the screen are cut off

Even though he's a rock musician, he always reminds me of a 17th century English poet.
For me, Jack Bruce is Cream. All the essentials of their very best come from him.
Yep. Totally.
@@maximuskhan2100 In order of importance, Cream was Baker, Bruce and that other dude.

Whew, he looks stoned out of his gourde there. He was one of the finest voices and musicians of the 2nd half of the 20th century.
Jack Bruce war ein genialer Sänger
He looks CRAZY WACKED but dam I always loved this brilliant musican and that Voice! Best Bassist
I miss him
We All Miss Him.
He was simply🙏 the greatest full range musician
Wheels of Fire..One of the top 5 albums in the history of rock n roll
I’m just guessing I’ve listened 100+ times.
Disraeli Gears. IMO.
Love the song , the humour behind it's cynicism AND knowing Jack liked to hotbox a joint too.
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen 🤣❤️ High as a kite
Jack was a beast of a bass player and as a singer he had a great set of pipes.
I love Jack. Sad to see how "out of it" he was in the video. It was well known his struggles with addiction. Yet, when the music starts, he becomes the monster musician he is!
They all were in these days😅
He doesn’t seem out of it to me.
he’s just baked lol
I don't think he was "out of it," just stoned. And funny.
No wonder he died at 71...

yes he makes it!
Thanks for identifying him The Awakening ́Ω`

Jack Bruce. Truly a vibrato I hear deeply, even now, 50 years after….
What proves his GREAT voice is the LACK of vibrato, he could "carry a tune" singing clear, pure tone, not that stinking "operatic" modulation.
I agree with you. His vibrato was fast and surprising, in a rock world of mostly untrained voices something rarely heard. It moves me.

He's on some drugs I sure never heard of !
Stoner rock from Jack Bruce and his genius
Lol
Yes
The bloody fingers make this 10x harder
Jon Marshall drives this with a funky jazzy touch on that lovely Hayman recording kit.
Jack looks pretty rough but he's still Jack Bruce! He revolutionized the bass guitar 🎸
Sad it wasn't longer, but WOW, fucking Amazing, how could Bruce be so fucked up & still play
Notice the taped fingers? he'd play till they were bloody ..or , despite ,that they became blistered & bloody .the show went on.
Practice
just like stevie ray vaughn, fingers would be bleeding & he would have his guitar tech tape them up@@parallaxcontinuum7898

Rope ladder to the moon?
he doesn't have a Scottish accent here, he did later...strange.
:) I think a lot of it wherever you happen to live and who you hang around with at the time to influence the accent as well as doing silly voices :D
You can hear his real accent in the back, but he is hamming up an English accent here mostly.
Not really.Since London is more class conscious ,a Glaswegian might be more prone to softening their brogue ,to stay gainfully employed.
@@Meddled yeah he sounds totally Scottish accentwise underneath it
He was actually a very well spoken Scot. More "Kaylevinsayed" than Govan. We don't all sound like Billy Connellly. lol 😉
Good !
Who is the drummer ...? Sounds very nice....
The rhytm guitar of Clapton in this song in goodbye is an encyclopedia never equalled
John Marshall

looks like Jon Marshall on drums

What is all the white stuff on his bass?!
Was thinking the same thing.. maybe a huge accumulation of dust? Even though he played it hard it usually had dust on it
Jack Bruce just let it rip...He had no governor on his engine..
il a un chat dans la gorge Jack Bruce ? 😅 Version intéressante néanmoins
What's up with Jack's fingers?
probably punched some mirror or some sort of glass from the looks of it
He had an accident riding a motorcycle some days before filming
Still played bass. He's tuff.
@@loaxelsson1394 thanks
Constantly pressing on bass strings can cause fingers to bleed.
You can count the number of Jack's copiers /clones on a closed fist.why ? lol ...LOOK ! There was only one-the others don't even dare to try.
