Wow Jack Bruce's bass and ginger's drumming on "Im So Glad" is magnificent. IMO,there was no better bass player than Jack Bruce. And he had a great voice. He also played the cello. He was classically trained in Scotland. RIP Jack and Ginger
I have not the slightest idea how anyone in their right mind could ever think this was not the best rock trio in rock history. And Dominos not far behind. I mean you could listen to Baker and Bruce and be schooled for a lifetime. Eric....shaw nuff.
Yeah, I had forgotten how good it was. The rendition of Crossroads has to be one of the best - better than most of the official '68 recordings (Royal Albert Hall is awesome but rough sound quality).
@@delphinbringsby6768 I'll fix it for you...He means you should have SAID "blew them away" or "blew them offstage". I've never heard of anyone on the same stage then being better than The Cream.
Funny thing is Eric can’t grasp why people dug Creams stuff and said “ They wouldn’t hold up today “ I would disagree with him on that score! Brilliant post. Thanks. UK.
As a lifelong listener to early EC, these bootlegs fascinate because when you think you've heard every phrase and time trick he ever played he can still surprise and delight - as ever the sound and phrasing are brilliant, nothing technically most guitarists could'nt play but, like Albert King, you just try and make it sound exactly the same, impossible. And how in tune that SG stays after an hour of constantly bending through 3 semitones. Loved it, thanks for posting.
@@asaucerfullofsecrets I think he used both on this show. Pretty sure I've seen pics from this show of him using the Darkburst and the Firebird. You can tell alot of it is definitely a humbucker guitar though.
Beyond the fact they were Cream, the best power trio ever, listening to other unofficial recording, it's clear they were a consistently good in their tour shows. Also, they were famed for spending ages tuning up between songs and for Clapton playing with his back to the audience.
Was giving this another listen tonite out of my library and saw your comment. Jack made me forget his little mistake with a very powerful bass line in this version of "Crossroads "
Cream's warrior here. 14 yrs old then ,and SO bummed when I heard they were disbanding.Compounding that,there was just no way my parents would've let me attend anyway.Glad they had a great finish for my friends up in Big D.
It’s certainly fortunate having these things on UA-cam all these years later. Unfortunately for me the one chance I got to catch them was the winter of 1968 at the former Rhode Island Auditorium hockey rink building in Providence. It was a mess. They started more than an hour late, played two songs and split after no more than 40 minutes. It was 1968, I was 13 and a huge fan and was left slightly bewildered about rock concerts. A year and a half later, however, I had better luck when I saw Santana at the same place during the summer. They put on a great show with plenty of Abraxas material that was anything but short. But getting back to this clip, Clapton surely nailed it on “Sitting on Top of the World.” Stunningly good. Too bad this stuff never saw the light of day on a CD.
Rhode Island was their very last American show. You're so lucky you were there to witness it. I was at the October 25th 2005 Madison Square Garden reunion. No Marshalls, but still amazing.
This was my first concert. Fair Park, Music Hall. I was middle about 30 rows back. Concerts in those days...Dallas had a very small group of "alternative" folks..I was just turned 17. They remodeled The Music Hall a few years later and basically no rock and roll allowed until Bozz Skaggs had a big reunion tour event there...about 1980 or so. A few months later, Vannila Fudge (opening act) returned with Canned Heat. Also saw that one. Saw Spirit at Fair Park too. Spirit was memorable....Randy California.
Oh well. Cream played Memorial...but on March 25, 1968 they played Fair Park Music Hall. Open act was The Chessmen and then Vanilla Fudge. The Chessmen had Jimmie Vaughn as guitar...a Clapton touring regular later...They played lots of Dallas area venues including the Studio Club, a teen club...
God Eric is really feeling the muse here!.especially sitting on top of the world.best i ever heard him play..BB like the way he used dynamics...hes transcending his bag of stock licks...amazing..actually the whole band is playing really together. Remember Texas has got serious blues history and i wouldn't be surprised if that inspired them.. .thank you for sharing!
Ian Snyder: virtuoso is a terms that easily gets overused as far as Cream is concerned. However, Eric's rushing, soaring tones and the affinity he shows with the song's origins are almost overwhelming. The Mississippi Sheiks would have been proud.
I'm So Glad is much better here than on Goodbye Cream. A perfunctory round of vocals and Slowhand gets to work, Bruce and Baker dig in, the band plays musical tag for six or seven minutes then stops on a dime and goes perfectly into the head again to take it out; three of rock's very best improvisers.
well, keep in mind that Eric's amp blows and he goes silent for a stretch and if Eric had heard this professionally recorded back then, he most certainly would not have approved it for the Wheels of Fire release or any future release.
The live albums often do not represent cream at their best, with the exception of Tales, NSU, Deserted. Compare Spoonful from San Diego 68 or Detroit 67, to what was official.
Just listened again...2023. The recorded sound on this is amazing. They didn't even have cassette tapes in those days. This must have been a reel to reel...with filters, it is really about the best live stuff I have heard from those days that's not on vinyl...or engineered...I wonder what device they used. 1968 was primitive...I wish they had the Fudge stuff....they were very primo in those days with You Keep Me Hangin on...Actually that was the first "stereo" song I ever heard in a car...
The great farewell tour concerts you have posted show how false the allegations were that it the tour was marred by sub-standard shows. This show really captures Jack's voice and Eric's guitar (superb tone.). Thanks for another great post.
I dislike the spring tour rather than the fall tour. The spring tour playing is furious, but pretty empty, just sounds like endless scale runs and BB riffs to me. I get why Clapton felt the rolling stone review was accurate. But 67 and the goodbye tour are amazing
Well it being a Farewell Tour, a common consensus of it being rough is heavily shaped by their dislike to continue on as a group. Which why the tour happened in the first place. They knew it was the end and gave us their all.

The brief intro was from a local DJ, Sandy Superchick, in total darkness, then the big boom from the amps and the lights came on ... very impressive for the day. I can't remember the front band. I want to say Vanilla Fudge, but I may be confusing concerts. It was a long time ago, and those days are and were fuzzy ...
A friend who saw this concert told me Sandy said on the radio the next day Cream argued about who would appear onstage first. Unable to make up their minds they decided to take their places in total darkness and turn the lights on.
I wish they had bothered to recorded the Oct. 13 , 1968 Chicago concert. There are 2 boots out there, but they are as muddy as hell. That's my fave I'm So Glad. It's there -- if you can make it out. And yes -- way better than Goodbye. ua-cam.com/video/pnbVPGYqOeA/v-deo.html
You lucky Yanks they hardly played in England, but we got Jimi here first and wrapped him in a nice bow to bewilder you later! Saw Blind Faiths only performance in Hyde Park London 69. UK.
Cream was the first "super group" and and the first super anything except superman. They were and still are the greatest rock band in history. Nobody played or has been able to play like Cream although many groups tried like Deep Purple, James Gang, Vanilla Fudge, Grand Funk, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, and others. When I say they tried to play like them I mean in their jams of course. I have been trying to make groups like Cream, but although I now have a guitar player who is up to the task, I haven't been able to find a bass player who can do what Jack Bruce can do. But recently I have found a bass player who is learning and getting there. I hope to put out an album soon. Yes, I want to play like Cream, and this time I think I'll do it.
I blew a chance to go to this show, bad enough right ? No, it gets worse...it was a free ticket ! A mistake i have never forgiven myself for. I think this is their only Dallas visit too.
Definitely an audience recording, but not bad. The nice thing about guitar-bass-drum trio is that they all occupy distinct sonic spaces, so you can make out all the intsruments, except for Ginger double bass drum which is there, but gets obliterated sometimes. For most drummers that wouldn't make a difference, but his style-approach was playing off of his bass drum rhythms; he played arms and legs, call and response that was in a whole other realm than most other drummers- past present- Dejohnette and Cobham notwithstanding. Granted, playing that way is like running in place all evening. I think he ruined his back doing that.
Did Jack DeJohnette play double bass back then? I don't remember any on Bitches Brew. Regarding live recordings, you're not going to find many, if any, soundboards from the sixties. Those didn't appear until the early seventies when PAs came into their own as 'sound systems' as opposed to public address systems that mayors and school principals used more than musicians. Also sound engineers began to master their craft during the infancy of the rock concert (as we know it today) with more sophisticated equipment that allowed jacking into the board.
@@DAGDRUM53 As far as I know Dejohnette never had a double bass drum. He could bass drum 'rolls' with one foot. He did however use the bass drum as part of an ongoing drum dialogue with his hands-arms- as many jazz drummers did. Few rock drummers did so, but Ginger did.
listening to this show for first time today. Thanks. I have to say the Detroit show is much much better; sound, more emotionin it. but the more Cream the better. One has to hate youtube for the commercial interuptions. They're as subtle as turning on the bright overhead lights. in a room full of people on LSD. Or that one person who asks, "what time is it?"
Initial listen.... just skipped around... great version of spoonful... i think they were listening to each other this particular night... sound quality is quite impressive... soundboard or audience??? any ideas?? thank you once again for your willingness to share your wealth... and enrich our lives in such a special way
Very good for an audience recording..I saw them in concert on this farewell tour in New Haven about 2 weeks after this concert give or take a few days.We went to a 8pm concert and saw Moby Grape across town then went to the 2nd show at 1030 pm and saw Cream.
back for more.... SOTotW... a tremendous version much better than "good bye." Please remind jack (rip) that Eric did not sing crossroads on Disraeli gears.... unless i missed something??
No comparison. Goodbye version soooo much better. Sounds like a very tired, going through the motions version here, qwhereas on Goodbye it is a coherent, fluid version by all 3.Also the solo trills at the start and end or whatever they're called are the least interesting part but still incredible. Have another listen.
@@martshankleman close mate,I can only speak about what I saw.Baker had two brace legs coming down in front of the bass drums,(as they all have)but his had little feet bent to the surface of the floor. At the Spectrum they were nailed directly into the stage so double basses didn't jump up and down. Basic Cream physics. Peace, Rocky

At the Spectrum they were nailed directly into the stage so double basses didn't jump up and down. Basic Cream physics. Peace, Rocky
@@rockyrovere2526 you seem to know your stuff !
@@martshankleman not really mate, saw it in Philly, over and out Peace, Rocky
I wonder if the "jazz" segment into Toad was possibly what Quincy Jones was talking about...?
...and Spoonful.
Aldebaron9 what Quincy Jones quote are you referring to?
louco louco cara
Toad is sick. Anyone who says they were over is.
Jimi Hendrix gave them several standing ovations at the LA Forum just a few weeks prior.
@@monty70 is that from a book?
Spoonful was in my opinion the only song that was really worth Gold Status
Right on...This Spoonful is white hot. Great interplay for the Band. Clapton tone, epic.
........0:00 introduction
32:24 Crossroads
36:36 Train Time
Couldn't get the introduction right. Sheesh.
The intro was fine. They were first known as “The Cream,” I don’t remember when “The” was dropped
28:00
The band had been playing out of their skins for the last several months or so, the fatigue beginning to show.
Even at the end they could kick any newer bands ass
I think this is a brilliant concert.
