I'm all for Scotland, but calling Cream a Scottish band... 2 Englishmen and a London-based Scot... oh well, I'll take it. They were awesome
Jack Bruce legendary bass player and massively underated vocalist
His bass performance on Crossroads is amazing!
Massively underrated? In who's book?
@@hyacinthlynch843 He is rarely mentioned when anyone talks about great rock vocalists but then most people seem to not be able to think back any furthur than 1980
Not underrated by any stretch! Music critics everywhere agree that he was one of the greatest vocalists of his generation
I think where he's definitely underrated is as a songwriter along with his lyricist Pete Brown. If you love Jack but you've never heard his first two solo albums prepare to be blown away.
This performance is 54 years old yet it sounds so in your face and alive. Cream were such an important band for the development of progressive, hard/heavy, fusion music. They were a true miracle, only together for 2.5 years.
Clapton makes that ES 335 wail! The drumming in this song is outrageoulsy good!
Not sure if anyone else pointed this out but Jack and Eric are trading lines in places, there is just no camera on Eric's mic.
Jack Bruce. One of Scotland's finest musicians. A true innovator.
Cream were one and only, they were a legendary band that will never happen again. Band that I grew up listening to and always come back to enjoy their stuff. I'm also glad to have some of their stuff on vinyl. This song is a pure rave the beat, the guitar and bass in one word awesome. A great choice to analyse really !
Those drums are so killer.
Saw them double billed with vanilla fudge, baker was awesome. they all were
Ginger a jazz drummer at heart.
@@timf5875 Fun thing is, that many great drummers have at least some sort of Jazz background. Not all of them are Jazz drummers in an actual sense but they certainly studied Jazz, Jazz drummers and Jazz technique. In my book a good band needs three things: a drummer that knows Jazz, a bass player that knows Funk and a guitar player that knows Blues. They might not be the best band in the world, but if the singer knows his limits and doesn't mess it up, you will have fun.
When people think of Cream they think of Eric Clapton (who ironically somewhat resents people comparing his current work with Cream). Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker had a LOT to do with it. While Clapton did sing on a lot of Cream songs, I personally think Jack Bruce was better vocally. Great reaction!
Honestly, I think Cream is one of the few bands that truly see appropriate respect given to all of the members. Sure, Clapton is the only 'household name', but it's not like anyone else in the band is anything less than legend status in the world of music in general. I mean, doesn't put Ginger Baker up there with Keith Moon?
Jack Bruce is better vocally for sure! I also prefer his solo work to Clapton’s but it’s extremely overlooked imo
Jack Bruce is a singer playing bass, Clapton is a guitarist singing. To me anyway
@@ri2k I'll buy that. Very well said!
Actually I don't think Eric sang all that many tunes during his Cream days. He basically developed his singing in the post Cream days encouraged by Delaney and Bonnie and now is a very fine singer. But Jack was a tremendous (and trained) singer throughout his career.
To hear what a unique musical talent Jack had, listen to his albums he recorded after Cream. "Songs For a Tailor" and "Harmony Row". I can't think of anything comparable.
Grew with this band OMG CLaptom Bruce and Baker such an awesome crew!
clapton indeed - jack bruce and ginger baker - they were a revolution for a moment in time. thanks for posting.
You say "Jack and Ginger", I think of Cream instead of whiskey.
Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker fought like cats and dogs, but boy could they cobble together an amazing song.
One only?😅😅
Best performance ever by Clapton. Tore it up
No, cream winterland 68 is his best performance
Always the best vocal coach reactions and analysis from an easy to understand point of view. Smart and attractive, the perfect combination.
These guys are AMAZING : Clapton is fantastic!, Jack over the top great and Ginger pounding the hell out of great riffs!
Love the dialog between solo and bass quitar here, and creative drumming of course. Please do young Joni Mitchell one day - one of the most interesting vocals ever combined with exceptional songwriting.
Your videos are like sunshine for us. We are like plants. We need it. Thank you Miss Roars.
Dude in the audience is really rockin' big time.
Beth...only your singer Jack Bruce was a Scotsman. He was not only a singer and composer but, he was a classically trained musician playing acoustic/upright bass, piano, cello, and I think violin as well as electric bass.
Correct, but not violin.. he did play acoustic guitar, though
I did say "and I think violin" however, I'm happy to be corrected. I understand that he also played a mean harmonica but, have never heard him play that instrument....he was jusr one hell of a musician who like Baker could read the dots and extemporise.
You are neatly bookending my life with this reaction, I've just finished watching (for the umpteenth time) a Band Maid concert and now this takes me back to where my love of blues, hard rock and progressive music began.
Flashback! smh This was one of my faves back in the day. We did call it psychedelic rock; Cream, Led Zeppelin, Robin Trower, etc.
It seems that nearly every time it was Eric Clapton's turn to sing, the camera would show Ginger Baker on the drums. This was their farewell concert, and as the concert continued, they kept inserting more and more visual effects, which ruined it for anyone actually interested in what they were playing. Jack Bruce was born in Bishopbriggs, Ginger Baker in S.E. London, and Eric Clapton in Ripley, near London - and believe it or not Clapton's father was a Canadian soldier stationed in the U.K. during WWII, who didn't stick around for Eric's birth. That's what adds meaning to Clapton's song "My Father's Eyes".
Great iconic band iconic song, all good for me. White Room, Crossroads, Badge and Strange Brew are very good also.
The Time stopped itself to listen to this fantastic Trio
Mastery always looks/sounds good. Brilliant.
Saw them in Santa Cruz, California. 1968. I've never been the same.
Cream got back together at the RAH in 2005 and two of their songs from the concerts had really good voice tracks: Stormy Monday (sung by Clapton) and We're Going Wrong (sung by Jack Bruce). Ginger Baker actually sang a song in that concert and it's a gas: Pressed Rat and Warthog.
They were having so much fun on stage you can see that thry were there just having a blast and chill with the audience
I was just groovin to this jam yesterday.
This is one of the bands that put Eric in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! For a darn good reason!!!!!!!!! Enjoy........... This is not the best live performance that I have seen & heard... Still a great song. These three men were MASTERS of their craft!! One of the best!!
it falls a bit under the radar, that in this tune actually both Bruce and Clapton are singing...but it's also pretty easy to miss, given the footage...it's probably best noticable by the first verse in this video, where you shortly see Clapton in frame singing....
This live version is so good for the music but the vocals are much better on the recording imo simply because he doesn't do the signature high parts here
Can't hear the harmonies as well here either.
There are other better live versions out there, but still glad she reviewed it! My all-time favorite band
Love ❤ Cream
Back in the mid-80s, Jack Bruce was touring with Ginger Baker and a young guitar player, and I saw them at a small club in Boston. Ginger was apparently not in great health at that point, so the first half of the set they had another drummer playing with them. He was quite good--you couldn't find any fault anywhere with his drumming, and most drummers would be grateful to be that good. But then Ginger Baker came out and sat down at the same drum set with the same settings on the same PA system, and the sound was entirely different. The sound of Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce playing together was absolutely the most massive, overwhelming sound I've ever heard--not loud, just massive, like someone dropped a freight train out of the sky. I never heard anything like it, before or since. I somehow managed to miss Cream every time they were in town, but that concert gave me a taste of what it must have been like. The reaction you note in the Albert Hall gives some indication of the effect of that power.
An underappreciated vocalist. People always talk about Clapton. But, Jack Bruce is the man.
I miss that generation….artists with raw talent….no cell phones and no computers…..just young people rocking to Cream and Clapton on stage….gifted , raw talent…we could have that today….but WE DONT….
Not sure exactly how Cream becomes Scottish! Jack Bruce was born in Scotland, but Eric is from Surrey and Ginger from Lewisham. Wonderful supergroup group and a great song thanks. I've not heard it live before and I don't know when this concert was, it looks like the Albert Hall.
Hellyeah! I love Cream!!
Me encanta Cream. I was twelve. Saludos desde México.
Me gustan tus análisis
Yes, that is indeed Eric Clapton. Cream was one of those bands like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple where miraculously three of the most gifted musicians of the day found each other and created magic. Jack Bruce is a bass playing legend, and Ginger Backer set the standard for all drummers who followed.
I would love for you to react to Lisa Stansfield All Around the World. All of her complex vocal choices are beautiful.
This was a trio on fire 🔥 perhaps that’s why they imploded. Jack could sang.
Check out an early Cream "Crossroads" so fast and so great.

Thank you for this one! Jack is one of my favorite singers ever.
Bruce was a scotsman, Baker and Clapton both were/are british
They didnt just saw Hendrix.. when Hendrix came to England, HE wanted to play with the Cream ;D
4:50 YES YES YES!!! i wish i could have lived through these times, just being free
It's so rare that when someone does a live reaction video they accidentally watch the best best best version of it. #RoyalAlbertHall #FarewellTour #1968
It's Boss time. Review
Lost In The Flood Live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975.
Cream; This is a tremendous live performance of this , one of the greatest rock songs ever.
I bet there was a very strong aroma of a certain 'plant' in the Royal Albert Hall that evening!
Cream is one of the greatest bandbof the 60s. Too bad that the sound quality is sub-par in the video. You might want to check out their reunion show from 2005 in Royal Albert Hall. If you want a song more focused on the vocals you should pick "We're going wrong". Jack's voice have aged a lot in that show ans he doesn't have quite the same vigor in it.
3 gentlemen lads for all the beautiful lassies of the BOOMER GENERATION!!!!! /Thank you lassie for another great review.
That's awesome ! My bass teacher asked me to work on a song from Cream (Strange brew). Never heard of them before that and I'm really liking it.
The White Room by Cream is my fav tune by them. Definitely check that out too, you won't be disappointed.
A real jam you can get stuck in your head.
100% with you in the "taste" of music needing some fluidity and organic feel as opposed to the hard, mechanical or digital gadgets taking over our lives.
I'm a software developer, so that digital part is even more part of my life (and enjoy it). But for counterbalance I've always appreciated music and occasionally even contemplate taking up learning to play. When I mention that with friends and colleagues, I often get the advice to get a synthesizer to fit my skills - and I'm like "NOOOO", I need something analog, organic, something completely opposite of digital.
I'm most drawn to saxophone as a solo-instrument I could enjoy playing by myself. Maybe one day...
Awesome band… a super group. Apparently in the studio this song was not working out well until Ginger Baker turned around the drumming accents to really drive rhythm from the typical accents of 2 & 4 to 1 & 3… very different for the time.
More of the music I grew up on. The sixties and seventies had a very wide variation of style.
Of course album versions of most songs, if bands wanted them to get radio play, were between 3 & 4 minutes long. Although some bands would sneak a monster 7 or 8 minute one that got airplay. Live versions usually were much longer as they would improvise on stage.
Hi Beth, if you get the chance watch the documentary 'Beware of Mr Baker' about Ginger Baker whos band Cream was. I saw it at the GFT in Glasgow. Love cream, thanks for the review.
Beth, you could react to White Room from 2005 royal albert hall concert! It's great!
Maybe you should check a song called Yer Blues performed by John lennon, erick clapton
Hey Beth. Greetings from Brazil. We love your videos. Can you make a react video of Candy by Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson? It's a very atmospheric duet with two very peculiar voices. Pop rock at its prime!
Speaking of Scots, I would love for you to do an analysis of Lauren Mayberry from Chvrches. I love her voice, but I have trouble describing exactly why. I know you could!
You could say it's the difference between the Pre-MIDI era and Post-MIDI era of music production.
I think Clapton was wearing the red shirt. The singer that you saw the most was the base player - don't remember his name. And the drums was Ginger Baker - I think.
Great video Beth - as always.
Glad you've covered a Cream number, but this slightly rough live recording doesn't show off Jack's incredible vocal qualities at their best.
Clapton's guitar on the other hand remains an example to us all.
You might care to have a look at the great David Clayton-Thomas with BS&T.
Ginger Baker on Drums, Eric Clapton on lead guitar and occasional vocals on this song, Jack Bruce on lead vocals and bass.
Jack Bruce sounds pretty scottish to me. Like my name screams my ancestors were from Ireland
You’re doing Jack Bruce’s vocals?Who’s next? Bob Weir? Fred Schneider?
Jack Bruce was certainly a Scot; he was born at Bishopbriggs in Lanark. The other two, though, were SO not Scottish at all. Ginger Baker grew up in South London and Eric Clapton came from Surrey.
I don't get why no one reacts to their live performance from 2005?? The quality is higher, the playing is even better and the vocals is awesome...
I also favor "oozy humanity" in my music.😀
To my ear much music from that era reflects that a few white cross speed tablets were likely ingested by the band. Just the way it was.
Ginger Baker, the drummer, has a jazz background so brought something very different drumming to Cream. Much the same was John Bonham, the drummer in Led Zeppelin, had a jazz background so brought very different drumming also.
Or John Densmore with The Doors.
The bass player and the drummer made the group live
Beth, please, Please, PLEASE do a reaction for Manchester Orchestra "The Silence". I promise they're not an orchestra! They're not even from Manchester! PLEEASSEEEE!
Nazareth … Bay City Rollers … Jesus & Mary Chain … The Exploited … Belle & Sebastian … Vaselines … Teenage Fanclub … Boards Of Canada … Snow Patrol … Franz Ferdinand … Primal Scream … all Scottish bands. Cream, though?! Hm … I mean, Ginger was a Scot, buuut …. No wait, Jack Bruce, not Ginger. Lol still, glad youre doing a Cream reaction, anyway! This is as classic and influential a rock song as there is!
First there not from Scotland,,,,, just Jack Bruce was ,,,,, 2nd they didn't write this after they heard Jimi,,,,, Jimi loved CREAM ,,, he came to England and wanted to meet Eric and the band !!!!!
That's right! Jack Bruce and his lyricist Pete Brown had been up all night trying to write a new song, had gotten nowhere, when Jack started playing that riff on the upright bass and Pete looked out the window and saw that the sun was coming up.. "It's getting near dawn.."
along with white room this has always been in my top one hundred rock songs of all time bruce had a much more compelling voice than bandmate clapton still can't believe when the chief executive at the record company heard it called it "psychedelic hogwash" and didn't want to accept it⚛😀
you are stunning
The dude in the audience looked like he was dabbing lol
somebody has to straighten you out, I realize what listening to this stuff for 50 years has done to me, i'm still tripping
yer blues by dirty mac plsss
You should dig up Ella Fitzgerald's version of this, it's sublime
The studio version ( recorded in New York ) is much better . At Atlantic Studios .
If you want to take a very different approach to this song, give Earth Crisis' cover a listen. Just a slight bit more metal :) Also, if you wanna have some fun, would be interesting to see your reaction to some pirate metal with Alestorm's "Zombies Ate my Pirate Ship". Yes, I said pirate metal :)
Cream orientated from London, England..
The band that shot Clapton to the top of English lead guitarists.
check the Ella Fitzgerald cover, it's amazing 🤩
Personally I think the Ella Fitzgerald is terrible, it destroys the essence and power of the song
As we used to say, "I wonder if these guys turn OFF?". My one and only regret from the hippie era: never seeing Cream live.
PS. ...Ginger Baker was also a sight reader / trained musician.
Actually Jack Bruce was the only Scotsman in the band . Baker and Clapton were/are both English.
So sorry, Jack Bruce was on the bass-vocals, Ginger Baker-Incredible Drums, Eric Clapton- The impeccable lead guitar
Late to this party, but had to ask if now do you see why they used to call Clapton "God?"
Ginger Baker was a genius. Jack Bruce as well!
Great reaction video, but in fairness to Clapton it's a wonder he could sing at all. He was suffering with flu, but somehow got through the concerts. I guess after waiting 37 years for a full reunion concert he didn't want to cancel...
Can you react to ARCH ENEMY - Handshake With Hell (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Algorithmic punch
Whoa! First comment!
Whoa!! Fifteenth comment!! 🙂
LIAM GALLAGHER PLSSSSSS
Have you ever listened to Greta Van Fleet? If not check out the lead singer Josh Kiszka. He has a awesome voice.
I understand the attraction of the live versions of tunes, but most of the time, especially with iconic songs, the studio versions are superior. That's case with this one as others have noted below. Jack's lead vocal is much better and you can hear the harmonies.
Prime Clapton melting faces
