Ginger Baker one of the best drummers ever. He was the first to have the unique "jungle" beat. Clapton on that guitar! This song blew my mind at aged 12, I have loved Cream since.
Eric Clapton rated the second best guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and is the only person inducted in the rock and roll Hall of Fame three different times
They were named Cream because they were considered “The cream of the crop”. The best musicians at their at instruments in England at the time. No argument here. Strong jazz and blues influence
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 "Crossroads", "Born Under A Bad Sign", "Tales Of Brave Ulysses", "White Room", "Strange Brew", "Sunshine Of Your Love", "SWLABR" etc.
A great song !👍All 3 were incredibly talented musicians. Were all in other great bands too. Eric Cjapton a top tier guitarist among the best ever. The You Look Wonderful Tonight singer also sang Cocaine back in the day too. Great sounding song. Just a great pick from a truly rock and roll band that inspired decades of musicians.🔥🔥
@@realcoolbreeze I listen to more of his blues songs the past 40+ years like "Driftin", "Last Fair Deal Goin Down" & one of my favorites especially the live version of "Early in the Morning" recorded at the Budokan in Japan 1979 plus all his collaborations with other legendary blues artists ☮
This song has a special meaning for me. When I was about 10 year old my 20 year old brother got a new stereo system and gave me his old one. This was a big deal. Little kids didn't usually have access to their own stereos, only. teenagers if you were lucky :) I didn't have any records of my own to play on it. My big brother gave me some albums and a couple 45's he said were scratched and he didn't listen to anymore. The 45 was this song by Cream, and the albums were from the Rolling Stones. I rocked out to this song every day. I spent every allowance I had after that buying 45's . Enjoying music became a lifelong passion. I really thank my brother for introducing to really good music and helping to explain to me how to listen to music, to appreciate the different instruments and the lyrics. I was very fortunate. This song brings back such happy memories for me. Think I am going to call my brother today and thank him again! :)
I know you are digging this one. Ginger Baker was a master!! Only Eric is left. Jack Bruce was a very original bass player. Cream! A rhythmic freight train rolling thru! Hey Shawn! Rock on!
Saw them in Chicago on that '68 farewell tour. One of the most exciting shows I've ever seen! I had seen them a year earlier, but this concert had a different vibe. There was acrimony between bassist, Jack Bruce, and drummer, Ginger Baker, that created tension and uncertainty. Their songs started normally but quickly turned into fantastic jam sessions with each player trying to outdo the others. Unforgettable! Your reaction was to the studio version of "White Room" with some live film. Fun to see anyway! You got to hear a great song and can put faces to the players. More Cream, please!
Jack Bruce on bass & lead vocal, Eric Clapton on guitar, Ginger Baker on drums. EC does great lead vocals & one of the greatest guitar solos ever on Cream's 1968 live version of Crossroads. Give it a listen!! Born Under A Bad Sign is another of my favorites. Lots of great songs by Cream in a relatively very short time as a group -- a mere 2 years, 1966-68. And now, more than 50 years later, they are still considered one of the greatest rock bands that ever was!
A house album in our house during the 70s as my parents loved Cream; we had the album with the vegetables on so we called it Salad Cream! I was lucky enough to be surrounded on all sides with great music. It was GROOVY guys. This is one of my dad's favourite trax.
Sublime! Great music and sure takes me back to my friend and I locking ourselves in her bedroom and listening to the whole album (on vinyl certainly), stoned! Good times.
I was only 2 when they came out, so I did kind of miss them, but I had the fun of playing some Cream when I was bass player in a cover band many years ago.
Yeh BABY, a 10!!!!! Groundbreaking sound! I was just a tween when this was released. I'll never forget the feelings running through my veins when this genre of music came on the scene. What "freedom of expression" can do to the soul is miraculous! It made this 12 year old girl feel empowered... wanting to be the "real" me... uncontrolled by society's rules. I'm so thankful I was born into such an era. 🥰
Jack Bruce vocal is spot on. Fans should give a listen to his first solo album, Songs for a Tailor. Most notable a song titled Rope Ladder to the Moon. A spaced out acoustic guitar classic!
I saw CREAM at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit1967. That entire group had super musicians. Clapton always did play lights out and sing with the best. Ginger Baker and his off-beats jazz style drumming was my hero in those days and Jack Bruce was one of THE best Bass players of the time. Man I miss those days. What groups we were blessed to see in Detroit in the early to late 60s/Early 70s
I got Wheels Of Fire double album on vinyl for my 17th birthday in 1968 when it first came out. White Room is the first track on the studio disc. Of course I played it so much that I wore it out and had to get another vinyl copy of it , which I still play. Magical times.
Lead vocals for Cream were provided by bassist Jack Bruce. Guitar wizardry was the legendary Eric Clapton, with the recently departed Ginger Baker on drums. Love this song!
Great memories! My older brother brought this album home and it was the first time I ever heard them! I was hooked! Eric Clapton Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker! Legendary!
Thank you for bringing back the songs of my youth. Tons of great music, emotions and memories. It's refreshing to see another generation enjoy what I enjoyed. Keep listening and reacting there are thousands more.
Hey Shawn &Mel....Love your station. This here group called Cream were around for only a couple of years. But what they have done and acheived in music was amazing. They also were one of the very few 3-member bands in rock history. They had 2 lead singers. Jack Bruce, who you hear singing lead and the bass guitarist, and Eric Clapton with the high voice, and playing guitar. Also, the great "Ginger" Baker (beet red hair) on drums.....Shiiit, what a band they were.
Eric Clapton was part of the group but a few years later formed Derrick and the Domino's and had a big hit Lay La. Don't know if you have reacted to it, if not, I highly recommend it.
FYI - This was the studio version with video synched to look like they were playing live. Most people know the legacy of Eric Clapton (he was a major influence back when I was learning to play guitar), but bassist/singer/cellist Jack Bruce was a force in his own right, also had some interesting solo albums after Cream broke up ("Rope Ladder To The Moon" is one example). Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker formed a one album banger group "Blind Faith" with Steve Winwood as singer / keyboardist. Highly suggest you listen / react to "Presence Of The Lord" or "Can't Find My Way Home", both amazing songs.
One of the influential bands coming from the late 60s, with a very young Eric Clapton on guitar. Must do Strange Brew and Crossroads by Cream. Gee we had such a great variety of music in the 60s/70s when we were kids/teenagers. Didn't appreciate it back then like I do now
From the Final Concert at Royal Albert Hall in January 1968. Broadcasted by the BBC and Later on DVD .by Image Entertainment. There is even a CD set called The Goodbye Tour with this concert the last CD.
So ahead of their time they were incredible. Clapton's wah wah guitar work has to be some of the best ever recorded , still sounds fresh 50 years on!!!
This concert was on November 26, 1968 at the famous Royal Albert Hall (it seats about 5,500 people) in London, and it was a HUGE deal. My parents were at this concert, and they still talk about it. They were sitting 8 rows back in front of the stage, and it was so LOUD that the floor and the seats were vibrating with the music. It wasn’t until 2005 that they played together again for several shows at the Royal Albert Hall, all the songs from that show are on UA-cam. Also on UA-cam is the entire 1968 Cream farewell concert.
Ah, the wonderful Cream. With the great Scottish bass player Jack Bruce. Too young to see Cream, but did catch Jack in Dundee back in 1983 when local side United won Scottish football's top division title (still their only top tier crown, unfortunately). Good times. And a great gig.
Hey, hey Shawn and Mel, It's great to see you Rockin'! Ginger Baker on drums is like having a locomotive in your band. RIP Ginger and Jack (bass and lead vocal).
THE SUPER GROUP CREAM, "WHITE ROOM".. MOST FANTASTIC 3 MEMBER BAND. singer/bassist Jack Bruce, Guitarest/Singer Eric Clapton. Drums GINGER Baker... more "TALES OF THE BRAVE ULYSSES", "CROSSROADS". "SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE". I FEEL FREE"..
All drummers wanted to be Ginger Baker. He set the bar. And Ol' Slow Hand - Eric Clapton - did the same for lead guitarists and still rocks to this day.
That's the studio version of the song over a live clip of the band. Jack Bruce is the singer and bass player, Eric Clapton on vocals and guitar and Ginger Baker hitting those drums. You gotta check out their song "Strange Brew".
Such a masterful TRIO. Real musicians back in the day, didn't need any bells and whistles....no autotune crap. That's Jack Bruce on BASS singing a lot of their songs. Check out my other favorite song by them I FEEL FREE. Hypnotic. Jack on vocals.🗣There's a version of I FEEL FREE on UA-cam I discovered. Look for it....RINGO STARR, PETER FRAMPTON, and JACK BRUCE on Bass and lead vocals. Some live show in Michigan I think. Wowie Zowie. Good stuff.🎵‼️
Got to see them just starting out at the clubs. It was good rock music if you were partially deaf for a couple of days 😁😎. So glad I grew up during the 60’s and 70’s💐. Thanks 🙏🏼 ☮️✌🏼
Shawn you and Mel love this song because that’s a ERIC CLAPTON playing guitar remember wonderful tonight tears in heaven Eric Clapton.. That was also him singing that second voice you enjoyed
You get the story, yes? An Englishman's blues: he meets a girl at a party, she is sweet and kind, and they take a cheap room near a train station for the night - she is travelling the next morning, but they spend the night together - he is smitten with her, but she refuses to be tied to him and leaves, and he is brought low, he has the blues
Ginger Baker one of the best drummers ever. He was the first to have the unique "jungle" beat. Clapton on that guitar! This song blew my mind at aged 12, I have loved Cream since.

YES!! I only have a few hero's that still walk among us. Is this a correct sentence 🤔 It seems a bit awkward? 😆
Must react to my favorite Cream song & personal anthem for 1969 -> "Badge".
Actually Badge was a George Harrison song, that he gave to friend Clapton. In thanks Clapton stole Harrison's wife.
Guitars turn to gold when Eric Clapton touches them.💯❤❤❤✌
Love it! Always have. Yellow tigers crouch in jungles in her dark eyes!! Awesome lyrics.

Lucky man to have seen them back then. My elder brother who introduced me to them at age 6 or 7 was at that Albert Hall final concert in London.

Eric also sang vocals on it.
Jack Bruce had voice for the ages.Fond memories of lava lamps, incense, good weed, and wonderful friends. Great reaction.

My hubby liked this kind of music..at 75 ..still does..
This is the reason Eric Clapton was inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame the first time. They rock!
Sublime! Great music and sure takes me back to my friend and I locking ourselves in her bedroom and listening to the whole album (on vinyl certainly), stoned! Good times.
I did a year in the Nam 69-70 and this song was played everywhere , everyday every other hour! it was like our new freakout national anthem!!
Anything with Clapton in is worth a listen
Thank You❤️🎶 The music of my High School years! Totally tight band🤙👍
Cream, awesome man great reaction S&M.
I was 9 yrs old. The best music growing up! Even at that age I was destined to be a rock lover!❤
You two are turning into some major rockers! Rock on!🤘🎸🎛🎤🎹🥁
I was only 2 when they came out, so I did kind of miss them, but I had the fun of playing some Cream when I was bass player in a cover band many years ago.
How can you lose with these guys? Clapton on guitar? Baker on drums? I loved these guys. Cream was the - - it! 👍🏾👵🏿🔥❤
The late great Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Rock on Eric Clapton

best group ever
My sister and I bought black curtains for our white room because of this song. Cream will always be great in any era!
You folks are beautiful !
Powerful positive vibes ...fits the music ... perfectly .
Eric Clapton, one of the best guitarist ever, and Cream, brought me through my hippie days. Thanks for the memory
That was a great time to be a teenager. You don't hear music being made like that these days.
We are blessed. What a time indeed!
The greatest trio ever to take the stage. Great reaction. Thank you.
My dad's music💜

But it HAS TO BE the electric version….NOT the acoustic (so lame in comparison).
It's 'Derek' & 'Layla',and it was only a couple of years post Cream.
They were my very first concert. Amazing.
FYI - This was the studio version with video synched to look like they were playing live.

One of the sexiest songs ever, too 🥰🥰🥰

There are only three people making this sound! Amazing.
You guys rock like crazy!
Got to see them just starting out at the clubs. It was good rock music if you were partially deaf for a couple of days 😁😎. So glad I grew up during the 60’s and 70’s💐. Thanks 🙏🏼 ☮️✌🏼
This audio is NOT from the farewell concert but is from the studio version off Wheel of Fire.
Ginger Baker was jazz drummer hung out with Fela Kunte in Africa. Lived and died in Africa. Bass player Javk Bruce played stand up bass in,jazz band.
Sunshine Of Your Love ❤️
Shawn you and Mel love this song because that’s a ERIC CLAPTON playing guitar remember wonderful tonight tears in heaven Eric Clapton.. That was also him singing that second voice you enjoyed
Check out the real live version, too. And while you're at it, check out "Sunshine of your love" as well.
