Cream are one of the bands that changed Rock and Roll Music Forever ! And to this day I have'nt heard a band as good as they were live,even if they were'nt together for that long,I can still remember the year they started as cream and getting their first album for christmas,I played it to death with the volume turned up full and I didn't care what the neighbours said because I still can't lip read to this day,and that's what a young 70 year old headbanger has to say,have a nice life everyone.
My dad inadvertently changed my life. We were driving to one of the first Target stores to shop. Dad was a music lover himself but more like Perry Como and Frank Sinatra. Anyway my brother and I are goofing around in the back seat, no seat belts mandatory at that time. Dad is driving and fiddling with the radio dial and….. the opening bars of Sunshine of Your Love come through the speakers. Maybe the only time in my life I told him to not change that station. He listened and I became transfixed with Cream and always will be.

50 years have gone by since I first saw these boys play this song live in Chicago. It seems like yesterday, it’s still is one of the best rock songs ever, it still sounds fresh. That’s the true testament of Rock and Roll. That was a style of music that has not reappeared in any form since. RIP Jack Bruce.
But they really struggled with the vocals didn't they? For example staying in key, figuring out who had the lead vocal and who had the harmony etc. That never came naturally to them. But those were simpler, more forgiving times, in the modern world, Cream would be be laughed off any stage in any random bar any Saturday night of the year.
@@mga2899Moon was brilliant in his own way. I think they all had their own styles obviously. Baker could be a Jazz type drummer. He's usually recognized as top 10. Bonham is the measuring stick, though. If you're talking rock music. Him or Neil Peart
The three greatest live bands of all-time are Cream, The JH Experience, and The Who. No one around today can even come close to this level of talent. The one percent of the one percent.
What can you expect from a "suit".The voice over & script ,were so off the mark-and added nothing.It's like he had this Wiki template which had been used countless times before.
They were the Greatest Musicians, the greatest band. I spoke to Ginger after he came off the drugs. He had some stories to tell. But he said his happiest time was exploring the origins of drums in Africa when he came off the drugs. Loved listening to these accounts of his life.
All the way from South Africa, I have been privileged to have lived and listened through the time of Cream..and other great rock bands. What a great musical journey it has been❤🎉
Amazing raw power that translated into some of the best sounding music ever produced. Beyond Iconic. They rocked Albert Hall and the World to its’ Core.
Really lucky we have this you tube supply of the greats from those days because sometimes it’s all I have to make me feel any kind off good. Set a very high precedent if you ask me. Definitely die hard
Cream is an underrated group but they are legendary and they took you on one hell of a musical journey. I'm grateful that i got to hear their music 🎶 🎵 and grow up listening 🎶 to them and join the journey with them
In the UK in the Sixties they were considered the best band in their genre, and rightly so. They certainly weren't underrated then nor are they now among musicians.
These guys put most of today’s “musicians” to shame. Not necessarily from a technical standpoint but from the energy, musical chemistry, and improvisational ability. This is flat-out kick ass playing.
I am blessed by a God we don't know of to have a Dad who was born and raised in San Fransisco in 1952. He single handedly taught me about the history of music because of Cream. That he saw live at Fillmore West.
Every concert tour was done w/ out abandon, heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears, we had an amazing time, if you think u enjoyed listening to the show, you have no idea, how much we truly enjoyed being w/ the other band members and producing it, the long hours, the drama, is all part of making this music, what it is today
Amazing how Ginger Baker could use 5 skins and a kick....yet make more sound than many drummers who use dozens of skins surrounding him. He was a master drummer.
Back when music was music. My dad raised me on this stuff. I was born 79. We've had some good stuff since and some of them were still playing but the stuff back in the day was the shit!

(And thanks to Ginger for picking me up from the floor after knocking me over with your rucksack in the Students' Union bar in 1970.)
Good point,Lesly M. I think it's excellent quality for 68! We weren't exactly walking around with movie cameras built into our pocket sized telephones back than. LOL

It was their last gig, they hadn't played in England for nearly a year and they had a film crew documenting them - yet they sound like they are at their peak. No words.
@@bttmdweller I agree. The whole guitar solo piece sounded like a mess. Yes Clapton played a solo but to what song I have no clue, it certainly didn't match the song. Baker and Bruce sounded like they were going in different directions.
Wow! What else can anyone say about Cream! This is music of any kind at its peak. Like someone just baked the finest cake ever made. I was within feet of Cream in New Haven Farewell Tour. I still have the photos to prove it! Ginger Baker was helped onto the stage and off! What a incredible concert!
+JR in the 818 Bruce was one of the GREAT vocalists of the period no doubt. I was just a kid at the time, but damn Cream was the heaviest band I had ever heard up to that point, still love them almost 5 decades later.
+James Scarcelli his voice is so operatic, it's so unique (and goddamn kickass) to use it in a blues band. I absolute love it -- vocally he's probably my biggest influence
Snuck in to a bar dive. NJ. It was CREAM. Blew my mind. It resonated the chords, the stamina. I didn’t understand what was happening, but adolescence intuition told me this band was destined to be great
The first time I heard this song was in 1968. I was taking and R&R from Vietnam. I was in a cafe in Sydney Australia. I couldn't believe that three people could create this. What a fantastic group.
Fifty years ago, and this is still amazing ! Thank the Lord I was a kid when this music was being made and lived it. Try explaining to your parents what was happening !
I'm 65yo and had listened to cream back in the day, sorry you are just listening to them now I think you have probably missed alot that was going on while you were growing up.
I love the way baker played this song.. Very inspiring with the extraordinary beat he made up.. Surely baker is the one of the great drummers in the world...
And a bit mad as well hated Kieth moon Big time ??? Ha 👍 rock great as well 👍 Timeless Gem this concert was as well Still is as well to this day 2022 so
Ginger was very miffed at the lack of credit he got for his contribution to the realisation of this song - slowing the riff down and elevating it from a throwaway lick to classic status. I didn’t realise how good he was until watching “Beware of Mr Baker”.
I can never get enough of this.. Laugh how they are speeding this version up as they are younger .. While listening to the latest live version , they do it more soulful - as they are older... Just adore this kind of MUSIC !! Sure , I play it .. But not this good..
The rifts on this are outstanding, people that don't know think it's just wild noise, it's not, it's tight and super creative and all three mesh as one - great group, I loved them
An artist who lived and enjoyed life on his own terms, sad that he died, but really glad he lived, shared his talent and prospered from it. Thanks, Jack.
I agree with you 100%. Though drugs have taken away so many that we love and admire, drug addiction and overdose is a fact of life and doesn't take away how talented and unique each one of our heroes were. Most of us live life on our own terms and live with the consequences, either good or tragic.
Back in 1968-69 I was in the only NJ band in the area that played this song! The audience always went nuts! We were 7! Five musicians and two singers! Bass, Rhythm, Lead, Organ and unbelievable drummer!
RIP Jack Bruce. He was one of the most talented musicians of the classic rock era. He was a classically trained musician who was a technically proficient & melodic bass player. He was also a great singer & wrote/co-wrote most of the songs in Cream. They were an important band in terms of bringing the blues to a white audience. And along with Hendrix, the Who, and Led Zeppelin, were among the definitive three-piece rock bands that helped create the template for heavy metal. One of those guys that deserved more recognition than he ever got.
E I'm sorry but u can't call the who a three piece rock band,u could say bands with 3 musicians in them,but the who have 4 members and while he may not play instruments Roger Daltrey was a very important part of the band as there front man,and all the other bands he mentions are true three people bands,jimi Hendrix experience,cream,nirvana etc
E but surely the voice is a vital "piece" of the sound and is integral to the music anyway even if your technically right no one describes the who as a three piece band there are 4 band members with 3 of those members playing instruments,i concede that i and millions of others have been saying it wrong we should be saying 4 members band instead of 4 piece band but even so my point was all the bands mentioned im the original comment all had 3 members except the who that had 4 members,i apologise for saying it wrong
Thanks for the video, I grew up as a teenager listening to cream. I was in Junior high School. I guess I'm getting up there, pushing! 70 real hard. I had a guitar and took a few lessons. Well my daughter came and borrowed my guitar when she was in college, never saw it again. 😂Thank you for the memories.
I should think so. Jack, Maggie Bell, Alex Harvey ,Ian Anderson .Each , unique , such passion & commitment -superb in their respective realms.Something in the soil & waters ?It makes Scotland even more beguiling and intriguing.
The verry best Band of the World. Ich bin ein absoluter Fan von Cream die ich seit meiner Jugend verfolge . Jeder Song einfach ein absoluter Tophit. Zeitlose und wunderbare Gitarrenklänge. Oh Jäääh. Ginger ist einer der besten Drummer auf unserem Planet und Eric wie auch Jack absolute Spitzengitarristen. Ich liebe diese Band und ihre Musik. Danke Cream, Ihr lebt weiter In Eric und in euren Fans.
Are your ears still ringing? What a piece of rock history to be a part of! If only Jack and Ginger could have tolerated each other for a few more years and albums, so much amazing music in only two years. I know first-hand how Jack and Ginger just end up fighting, at least in my stomach more than a few times.
wow, Eric takes off, Jack Bruce is a phenomenal bass player, and Ginger Baker is great. The supergroup. I got to see them play in Masse Hall in June 1968 a rather small theatre with great acoustics but they are slamming here.

+JR in the 818 Bruce was one of the GREAT vocalists of the period no doubt. I was just a kid at the time, but damn Cream was the heaviest band I had ever heard up to that point, still love them almost 5 decades later.
+James Scarcelli his voice is so operatic, it's so unique (and goddamn kickass) to use it in a blues band. I absolute love it -- vocally he's probably my biggest influence
+AMP09FH Never looked at it that way but yea you are right. He is def. one of the greatest.
Snuck in to a bar dive. NJ. It was CREAM. Blew my mind. It resonated the chords, the stamina.
I didn’t understand what was happening, but adolescence intuition told me this band was destined to be great
all three of them were extremely talented live. This is amazing
My Dad introduced me to this music years ago and I must say it's amazing and timeless. Cream is so talented. This is awesome❤️💥🎶🎸🥁
To only have 3 members it had a much bigger sound! Fabulous!!
Yeah . " Blue Cheer " also had three , but weren't quite the same caliber . Though I love Blue Cheer .
The first time I heard this song was in 1968. I was taking and R&R from Vietnam. I was in a cafe in Sydney Australia. I couldn't believe that three people could create this. What a fantastic group.
Fifty years ago, and this is still amazing ! Thank the Lord I was a kid when this music was being made and lived it. Try explaining to your parents what was happening !
I'm 65yo and had listened to cream back in the day, sorry you are just listening to them now
I think you have probably missed alot that was going on while you were growing up.
Rest in peace, Jack. Your playing in Cream is one of the biggest reasons I picked up a bass guitar. I wish I had the chance to tell you that.
Jack was the man
Imagine if his parents did NOT get him vaccinated? A different world it would be.
+++!!!
I love the way baker played this song.. Very inspiring with the extraordinary beat he made up.. Surely baker is the one of the great drummers in the world...
And a bit mad as well hated
Kieth moon
Big time ??? Ha 👍 rock great as well 👍
Timeless Gem this concert was as well
Still is as well to this day 2022 so
Ginger drumming makes the song.
Oh, absolutely one of the best rock drummers
@@raymondgriffiths9766 ginger is on a different plane of existence than keith....
Ginger was very miffed at the lack of credit he got for his contribution to the realisation of this song - slowing the riff down and elevating it from a throwaway lick to classic status. I didn’t realise how good he was until watching “Beware of Mr Baker”.
I can never get enough of this.. Laugh how they are speeding this version up as they are younger .. While listening to the latest live version , they do it more soulful - as they are older... Just adore this kind of MUSIC !! Sure , I play it .. But not this good..
I would've been standing on my chair ,clamoring for another song too.Rock's greatest era , coming to a close.
Jack Bruce’s bass with Cream was the best I ever heard.
Let's hope maybe the wasnames Gladys sounds x
One of the great bands of the 20th century and there were only 3 members, 3 members of unbelievable talent
The frantic voice, the guitar and My God: these drums, like a train rolling over you. That is what I call a rock band.
...so is michael shareve of santana when they did soul sacrifice...
It still blows me away today, so you can imagine how I felt when I was missed it. Because I was only born 1966 England winner’s anyway CREAM🍻💯🇬🇧👍👍👍
The rifts on this are outstanding, people that don't know think it's just wild noise, it's not, it's tight and super creative and all three mesh as one - great group, I loved them
Clapton does an improv live unique . Hard to believe this was farewell in 68.
An artist who lived and enjoyed life on his own terms, sad that he died, but really glad he lived, shared his talent and prospered from it.
Thanks, Jack.
the Best Time.
&Best music
I agree with you 100%. Though drugs have taken away so many that we love and admire, drug addiction and overdose is a fact of life and doesn't take away how talented and unique each one of our heroes were. Most of us live life on our own terms and live with the consequences, either good or tragic.
gnute9. But!!! lest we forget ....at least it was documented! thank God!
One of my very favorite songs of the day. ❤ There voices were very mature and seasoned for their ages.
Person leaning on stage with the camera owns some INCREDIBLE photos!
One of the greatest rock bands of all time.
what a band, they achieved so much in such short space of time.
2 years is a very, very short span . And to do as much as they did was , crazy.
Greatest Rock/Blues/Pop music ever made......Oh, how I miss this era.....
Seeing this group, live had to be an event. Each person was so good at thier job. And the best song, ever. 👏👌🎼🎸🎤🎸🎤🥁
This stays in my head when I am doing mundane things like shopping for food locally. It keeps me in a different dimension.
Jack Bruce deserved more credit for Cream.
Jack Bruce is incredible Scotland is extremely proud genius

During some of the concerts the crowd would shout out "You gonna die tonight Ginger?" 50 years later he's still with us. Legend!!
Back in 1968-69 I was in the only NJ band in the area that played this song!
The audience always went nuts!
We were 7! Five musicians and two singers! Bass, Rhythm, Lead, Organ and unbelievable drummer!
RIP Jack Bruce. He was one of the most talented musicians of the classic rock era. He was a classically trained musician who was a technically proficient & melodic bass player. He was also a great singer & wrote/co-wrote most of the songs in Cream. They were an important band in terms of bringing the blues to a white audience. And along with Hendrix, the Who, and Led Zeppelin, were among the definitive three-piece rock bands that helped create the template for heavy metal. One of those guys that deserved more recognition than he ever got.
Lynn Turman erm the who we’re a 4 piece band
+David Mellish singers dont count
E I'm sorry but u can't call the who a three piece rock band,u could say bands with 3 musicians in them,but the who have 4 members and while he may not play instruments Roger Daltrey was a very important part of the band as there front man,and all the other bands he mentions are true three people bands,jimi Hendrix experience,cream,nirvana etc
+David Mellish but a voice is not a piece, an instrument is a peice, thats what a three piece band is
E but surely the voice is a vital "piece" of the sound and is integral to the music anyway even if your technically right no one describes the who as a three piece band there are 4 band members with 3 of those members playing instruments,i concede that i and millions of others have been saying it wrong we should be saying 4 members band instead of 4 piece band but even so my point was all the bands mentioned im the original comment all had 3 members except the who that had 4 members,i apologise for saying it wrong
❤Without doubt one of the great groups of all time
Cream,is a awesome group and Eric Clapton a awesome guitar player.1968, when I was two years old.💙
This was the day after my third birthday.
А мне-- 18 лет....😊
Nothing better than a good old fashioned "Cream" jam!
Man, I want Clapton’s shirt.
I’ll take Ginger’s!
@@TonyR57 I collar,! ( ring 0 ! Lol ! X
Thanks for the video, I grew up as a teenager listening to cream. I was in Junior high School. I guess I'm getting up there, pushing! 70 real hard. I had a guitar and took a few lessons. Well my daughter came and borrowed my guitar when she was in college, never saw it again. 😂Thank you for the memories.
Remarkable music that will always stand the test of time.....Cream were the light in the darkness.....still are.....
@@waltermameli2026 yes I agree, awesome group
Jack Bruce was a incredible bass player and singer Scotland is extremely proud of jack
I should think so. Jack, Maggie Bell, Alex Harvey ,Ian Anderson .Each , unique , such passion & commitment -superb in their respective realms.Something in the soil & waters ?It makes Scotland even more beguiling and intriguing.
Jack? Aasasagh? Jock ist much worser ( ( ,,,( nice Glasgow city sounds x
The verry best Band of the World. Ich bin ein absoluter Fan von Cream die ich seit meiner Jugend verfolge . Jeder Song einfach ein absoluter Tophit. Zeitlose und wunderbare Gitarrenklänge. Oh Jäääh. Ginger ist einer der besten Drummer auf unserem Planet und Eric wie auch Jack absolute Spitzengitarristen. Ich liebe diese Band und ihre Musik. Danke Cream, Ihr lebt weiter In Eric und in euren Fans.
All of them probably top 5 all time at their instruments. What a band
What an amazing performance by true artists. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece.
a kind of concert that no longer exists but from which one did not emerge unscathed, it marks you for life.
I was there!!!!!
...and you're still alive? (just kidding). I was already 3yrs old so I'm almost a polished living fossil.
Lucky
Lucky bastard
Are your ears still ringing? What a piece of rock history to be a part of! If only Jack and Ginger could have tolerated each other for a few more years and albums, so much amazing music in only two years. I know first-hand how Jack and Ginger just end up fighting, at least in my stomach more than a few times.
Yeah you and all 6 million people who claim to have been at Woodstock
I dare any modern pop star to come close to this! rock n roll at its absolute purist xx
wow, Eric takes off, Jack Bruce is a phenomenal bass player, and Ginger Baker is great. The supergroup. I got to see them play in Masse Hall in June 1968 a rather small theatre with great acoustics but they are slamming here.
Agree jack Bruce was magestic on the bass a Scottish genius
0:42 I must say, this kid may have a future in music...
So... who's gonna tell him?
