4 of us met up every Thursday night & play This Album with a crate of NEWCASTLE BROWN & GET WASTED WHAT A WAY TO GO I'M 73 NOW STILL CHUGGIN BUT STILL 17 IN HEAD ROCK ON 😂😂😂😂😂❤ GREAT MUSIC FOREVER 😂😂😂😂😂❤
Mom would've been 103 this month. Cream was her favorite rock band. RIP Momma. Hope you have a front row seat to the greatest musicians. Be seeing you soon.
Eric Clapton is the only musician who have played with Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Albert King, Chuck Berry, JJ Cale, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Peter Frampton, David Gilmour, Steve Winwood, Keith Richards, Duane Almann, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pete Townsend, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins. He is the only 3 time inductee to the R&R Hall of Fame (could be 5 if they induct Blind Faith and Derek & Dominos into the Hall of Fame). Put respect for him.
2023: GOD! That Was SO GREAT! Beautiful Ending. 2of 3 are gone now. Such great musicians, such a loss. I've been a drummer since 1964. We've lost so many Great Ones. Thank You
I got to see Cream in a small club in Philadelphia about a month before their first album came out. Cost 2 dollars to get in the door. Heard all their songs on their first album and was sitting about 6 feet from the band. It was an experience that just blew me away. I was 17 at the time.
@Paul Kline ...was also a teen of the 60's and saw most of the greatest rock bands that ever walked the earth. am often a little pissed that most people dont even understand when i talk about the shows and music of the day, and how privelidged i consider myself..... "born under a good sign"
I was 12 when Cream released this album. I saved up my pocket money and bought the the LP (my first ever) much to my parents’ consternation! Loved it then, still love it now…😊
Of THAT era? Ginger Baker has the most singular, recognizable voice on drums of anyone of ANY era...but yes, they sure did lay it down and show 'em how to do it!
It saddens me to think that in the next 15-20 years there will no great musicians left. There will be no “super groups”. But people will still be listening to this classic music. I’m 69 years old, I raised my kids on this music. They know all the “real” groups and singers from that era. Even today they don’t listen to the garbage being produced today!
Had a conversation with a German man and we both agreed that culture is dying. Sex and violence being the obsession of the majority. Hence we no longer have culture just ignorance and government propaganda as the diet for the masses.
I am 63 and jammed with my buddies in a band back in like 1975. Played this song. Best memories and most fun I ever had. Before twiddling tweets and face time. When you got together with your friends you caught up, talked, had new things and experiences to relay and talk about. Then made music. What great winter nights or bad weather days indoors. God bless the parents that put up with us. A simpler time, but we did not know that. 40 dollars for an amplifier was a huge outlay.
What to say about a song over 50 years old that still seems to have strength for another 100 years???? Amazing, astonishing!!! Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce are from another universe!!!!
If all of them were still alive, I don't know if they would do these concerts again. I wish they would've toured UK, Europe and USA with this reunion in 2005. But that might've been asking a bit much at their age.
@Ron, I was 15 when this song came out. My next door neighbour had the album playing in his parents' basement back in 1968. My LAST year at home, bc I ran away from my drunken abusive dad, and was put in Children's Aid Society group home shortly after! BTW, I'm now 68 and counting.
@@mr.blackhawk142 How has your life been ? You started out having one tough time of it . When I was 20 I inherited enough money to buy a car and put a continent's distance between my family and myself. Age 10 to 14 was a very bad time for me. Enough I swore I would never have children of my own. Time passed,I was able to have a wary peace with my parents the last years of their lives. Adult life with achievements gives a very different perspective. Hope you have done well.
Sadly we,LL never hear the like,s of music played like this again, thank God we where around at the moment in time to see and hear these great ROCK AND ROLL, BLUE,S BAND,S . PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND'S.✌️✌️✌️😎😎😎🏴🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Many "packing" "Muricans" step up to the plate to stop the hating, violent attackers of innocent humanity. Just think of All that gave their arms, legs, eyes or Lives over the Decades. It's Our God Given Inalienable Right to Protect Ourselves & Others if need be. Real "Muricans" don't support nor endorse radical Lies, MisInformation, Propaganda or Hate. The Whole World has been L.I.E.D. to, abt. Everything....
This song is classic. These three men could rock your face off. Ginger provides that steady beat. Jack plays his fret-less bass. And Eric doing what he has done for decades. These three reset the bar on music. So much talent in a small band of three. For many of us this guitar riff is legendary. So well known. NO auto tune, no fireworks other than the music. Just rock and roll! I love it. It sucks that two of them are gone. But hey we still have slow hand. I am amazed that Eric is still alive. And they know it.
If anything these guys just got better since I was at Ariz. State U. and heard this song for the first time! Now I’m 74 and this brings back such great memories that all I can do is cry, I’m loving this!
I have seen Eric 6 times in my lifetime and would have loved to have seen Cream! Clapton cleaned his act up many years ago and Thank Gog he is still with us. God Bless Jack and Ginger!
They will have listened to their parents playing it first time round, they heard it in their cradles . Personally I always thought it was quicker. Epic track
When in a foster home confused lonely 1968 played this song over and over. I believe it kept me going!!! Such a cool song. I remember repairing my own record player.
I was around when this was new. They were hero's then and will be for many years to come. Music like this can never die, unlike the players. RIP Ginger and Jack❤
No offense but rock is gonna die out if old heads like you gate keep it. I mean, if the old heads in the 50s referred to Chuck berry as "true rock" and god forbid were listened to, music as we know it wouldn't be the same. Point is, shut up, music evolves
Yes, "few". Without the internet, would Eric Clapton even have had a voice about lockdowns? Is being invited on the TV really how he was talking about that? Rhetorical question.
Eric Clapton, that's a mighty big name and he deserves it. No one else could have done what he has in the best way for music and all the great groups of people he has played with in his life. My Idol!
Ludes...my first drug of choice at 16. Loved 'em so much I stopped everything else and lived to tell about it. LoL 😂 61 now and still walking and talking 🦜✌️🥀
Victor Melendez I hope you still have a TURNTABLE .. it’s the best sound ( providing you have a decent stereo) !! I’m going to buy a new STYLUS now. I’ve been procrastinating , so now I’m INSPIRED
So so amazing to watch this again for about the 3rd time. 3 masters of their instruments together for the last time. One of the greatest R&R bands of all time. Maybe the best. Jack was ill and died 9 years after these concerts (you can see he’s kinda frail here) and Ginger in ‘19 so this will never happen again. RIP boys!
I saw Cream at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles late sixties. Loud, sweaty, strobe lights, audience stoned out of their minds! Songs played were on the average 10-15 minutes long with incredible jamming & improvising.
My son, who grew up on Green Day, Foo Fighters, etc, found my old vinyls one day and discovered Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Steppenwolf, Santana, and a dozen other great bands, and he half-kiddingly asked me what else I'd been hiding from him.
@@-guitarhero : not Queen ! and spell correctly name : "Steve Vaï" pliz. Ah ! OK, I've got it ! like euh.... Impossible to apply that trick on your name coz name and surname start with a "G".
At least he grew up on one of rocks encarnations and not on trap or latín urban music. Im from latinamerica and im embarassed for the music that we export
Incredible and heartfelt reunion. Jack killing the jazzy fret less wonderbass. Eric just worshiping the song. Ginger playing like the house is in fire. Awesome post. Thanks
Once again soooo blessed man so great my world music God doc lawyers not in that order ❤ still trying to change the world some one has to step up to the plate I'm 66 I'm trying wouldn't stop❤
Jack Bruce & Paul Macartney have been my top bass players for many years. Now I have had to add Tal to the list. Jack has the driving beat Paul more melodies. Want to hear Jack at the top of his game check out when he played on Frank Zappa's song "Apostrophe"...My roommate bought the album home the day it was released, And I was like "that sounds like Jack Bruce" my guitar playing friend said, 'you do have an ear".
Wow, 60's, The Cream, One of the greatest groups. If I had a nickel everytime I dance to this song, I be rich. It truly was the best of times. Thank you guys for your great music.
I'm 68 and remember when every rock group had a diffeent and unique sound and style, not like the shit show stuff of today. Today all music seems so "formula" Guys, God rest your talented souls! Keep creating where ever you are!
Today's music employs a much narrower vocabulary in its lyrics, less range, more repetition, and less innovation. The music has, as you intuited, been dumbed down. No doubt there are many innovative musicians, just as there are filmmakers, but the big studios want a guarantee of big returns.
@John K: Well, yeah. The commercial, "radio star" stuff. It's awful, derivative, homogenous, unlistenable nonsense. And regrettably, all done on a laptop with auto tune. (Billie Eilish was the first one to break the mold in a long time!) But most of the top ten is written by the same two guys. Swear to God! But to be honest, there's a HELL of a lot of great music today- It's just hard to find. Actually, Coen Brothers movies are a good place to start. Be well, everybody.
Back when rock stars had to EARN it..these guys were real rock STARS. Listen to it again and just focus on Ginger Baker’s drums. Brings tears to my eyes.
Bro. You got it so right. I'm a black guy in my 70's.. When most of my friends were in the Motown BS.. I was diggin' on this , CCR.ACDC. Lead Zeplpin, Ginger Baker was killing on those drums. I wished It could have gone on another 15 minutes. Best drumming in the world. RIP fellas. Imitated but never duplicated.
When we were in our teens and twenties we thought we were immortal, and couldn't conceptualize an end to life, and just figured we would live forever! now the reality of this life is brought to the forefront by the loss of these kind of people who's talent with putting words to music helped us mark the way during the trip....... to those still with us thank God for you, and for those past, may you find comfort in God and his company, you performed no heroics or bravery, but you gave us such pleasure and enjoyment,😊😢❤✌🖖👍👏🤝🙏 what a gift!
Thank you Google for not interrupting this great music with adds, which should always be played before and/or after a piece of music - and never during it.
It is hard to believe this was 15 years ago. I remember how big the anticipation was and now Jack and Ginger are gone. I am glad they worked through all their personal issues to make this happen.
Sort of like The Jimi Hendrix Experience & The Band Of Gypsys. Her's a present. I only found this now & it's the very best version of Spoonful i've ever heard & I didn't know it could even be done better than onn Wheels Of Fire hey! Just type in 'Cream Spoonful live 1967 AMAZING SOLO RARE' & those words will take you right to it :D
No stupid thingy-me-job in the ear either.... These people knew their music. (None of that wailing falsetto boy band shite or crappy girly bands selling sex.) This was the music. The be-all and end-all. To be remembered forever.
Saw Cream in Milwaukee, 1968. Had to be one of the most memorable concerts ever. Two years later, saw Jimi Hendrix at the Milwaukee Auditorium. I look back and realize, I saw the best of the best.
It was so much better being 20 in the 70's than now being 70 in the 20's !
For sure !
I hear you there dude.
Ya'h MAN., these present Players, ain't fully - here! Me Old player w/ Martha Lorraine, of long ago....R."S"B - RIP
I'm listening to this in 2024. Use to listen to it in early 70s. When I was in school.

Just turned 65. Have to agree, seems like yesterday I first heard Cream and here I am still listing today.

Great..... 👏👍
Same here, in Portugal, (and then ALL of The Doors' albums lol).
I recycling glass bottles and mowed lawns. I walked down to Montgomery Wards too and bought their first album.
So cool you had open minded parents; love your story! I collected pop bottles but was much younger; turned them in for candy 🍭 haha
Me too !
Three old man and instruments. Nothing more needed. GREAT! To watch Jack on the fretless bass is amazing!
Oh, I just woke up. What did I miss?
sorry but JB was often wrong on fretless, mainly in the upper part of his solo
Jack Bruce, IS Brilliant player, nothing fake there, or the other Two of three..
Rest In Peace Ginger Baker 💗 ( 1939 - 2019).
A SAD DAY ...pressed Rat & Warthog Have Closed Down Their Shop ... R.I..P ... GINGER !!!!.
Good lord i was just watching this last night, and just found out today he passed.........wow
Rip grandfather drummer legend
Remember them from my Vietnam War Days. RIP brother. The music will live 4ever.

And look at this performance...no need for fireworks and other special effects. Just pure, raw, unadulterated talent... that's all that's needed!
All natural, no autotune back in those days! Organic is another word for them!!
Had a conversation with a German man and we both agreed that culture is dying. Sex and violence being the obsession of the majority. Hence we no longer have culture just ignorance and government propaganda as the diet for the masses.

Three geniuses getting back together and killing it! Eric is still with us. RIP Jack. RIP Ginger.
Without Words...
Sin Palabras...

Sadly, Clapton has fallen to the dark side.
Jack Bruce is grossly underrated. He was miles ahead of his time.

Their music ll live in our heart forever !!!

Ludes I did my share. If I had one ID do it now listen to cream
Ludes...my first drug of choice at 16. Loved 'em so much I stopped everything else and lived to tell about it. LoL 😂 61 now and still walking and talking 🦜✌️🥀
Gingerbaker,s
Dude, I had the good pleasure of being known as the Qualude king in North Beach in San Francisco. Paid the bills and kept me fucked up
2 guiters, 1 set of drums, 3 talented muscians, some amps. No fancy dancing and funny lights. That's all it takes kids.
Yep!
I was at the Madison Square Garden show Wednesday night in 2005. Magical concert.
Yes! I am still listening to this in 2019. Who’s with me!?👍😎😎😎😎😎
yup
Yes, I'm still listening to the bands from the 60a and 70s.
Same here ! That's real music
me MICHELE from CANADA...STILL LISTENING do you still have a TURNTABLE ?
Victor Melendez I hope you still have a TURNTABLE .. it’s the best sound ( providing you have a decent stereo) !! I’m going to buy a new STYLUS now. I’ve been procrastinating , so now I’m INSPIRED
Three men. Three instruments. Creates amazing sound, and music. This is real musicians.
They made it look effortless
Incredible band
The sound of my youth
This is my favorite cream video .
If you grew up in the late 60"s you knew, nobody could touch the Cream when it came to talent.
I agree and I was born in 1968:)
Beatles?
@@yairsharon7197 nah
What about Hendrix?
@@wilpatricktubog2108 he’s a different kind of psychedelic rock
No auto tune, real musicians playing songs by god given ability. Very cool
Warts and all!
Nice fretless!
Autotune is cool though.
Indeed brother God Given endless Gifts. All is His and all is Him.🤲🙇♀️ Divine talents
@@thecharlieramirez And it's vital for people who can't hold a note. How cool is that?
Absolutely Amazing. Remember listening to this when I was 17. Brings back incredible memories.
So so amazing to watch this again for about the 3rd time. 3 masters of their instruments together for the last time. One of the greatest R&R bands of all time. Maybe the best. Jack was ill and died 9 years after these concerts (you can see he’s kinda frail here) and Ginger in ‘19 so this will never happen again. RIP boys!
It breaks my heart that 2/3 of the members are gone. Their legacies will forever live on!! RIP Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker💗
They could have called themselves The BBC, but someone beat them to it.
Wild to think that Clapton, with the lifestyle he lived for decades, is the one still here.
@@SweetSirenia its called being a rockstar
two old men showing the young how its done
@@descartesdonkey4291 Think you'll find there were _three_ members of Cream. Baker/Bruce/Clapton.
Eric Clapton: The greatest part-time guitarist, full-time geography teacher.
These guys were doing this when rock hadn't been heard of. Legends.
I saw Cream at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles late sixties. Loud, sweaty, strobe lights, audience stoned out of their minds! Songs played were on the average 10-15 minutes long with incredible jamming & improvising.
My son, who grew up on Green Day, Foo Fighters, etc, found my old vinyls one day and discovered Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Steppenwolf, Santana, and a dozen other great bands, and he half-kiddingly asked me what else I'd been hiding from him.
Hendrix!
zed leppelin, queen, veve stai, etc
Nothing wrong with Green Day and Foo Fighters, but some of these old bands were just great.
@@-guitarhero : not Queen ! and spell correctly name : "Steve Vaï" pliz. Ah ! OK, I've got it ! like euh.... Impossible to apply that trick on your name coz name and surname start with a "G".
At least he grew up on one of rocks encarnations and not on trap or latín urban music. Im from latinamerica and im embarassed for the music that we export
No fuss, no gimmicks, no hype, just three men on stage blowing it away!
I'M 70 Years old from lsrael , and l was there !
I have always respected Eric C, he is one of the great entertainers across so many generations. I have listened and enjoyed his music since the 60's.
Jack Bruce's smile is priceless R.I.P.
All three of them are very happy to be playing together. Three geniuses together are a rarity.
You young musicians watch these three and learn they were one of the GREAT BANDS.
Also learn how out of control egos can wreck something special!
Incredible and heartfelt reunion. Jack killing the jazzy fret less wonderbass. Eric just worshiping the song. Ginger playing like the house is in fire. Awesome post. Thanks
Add the (!) to your post, and it'll be, ..."Outta SIGHT !!"
Once again soooo blessed man so great my world music God doc lawyers not in that order ❤ still trying to change the world some one has to step up to the plate I'm 66 I'm trying wouldn't stop❤
Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were top of their game. But Jack Bruce? On another level entirely. Possibly the most underrated bassist of all time.
Damn right.
anőther level,yes. top of the pops. best conductor of all times
Jack Bruce & Paul Macartney have been my top bass players for many years. Now I have had to add Tal to the list. Jack has the driving beat Paul more melodies. Want to hear Jack at the top of his game check out when he played on Frank Zappa's song "Apostrophe"...My roommate bought the album home the day it was released, And I was like "that sounds like Jack Bruce" my guitar playing friend said, 'you do have an ear".
Agreed
For me ?….The Best One !
Wow, 60's, The Cream, One of the greatest groups. If I had a nickel everytime I dance to this song, I be rich. It truly was the best of times. Thank you guys for your great music.
RIP Thump and Thrum the pulsing foundation heart that sent Legends to the stars.
That drum beat holds it all together, it's primal, tribal, and straight up rocks!
yeah 1 and the 3, weird at first, but you get used to it.
Ginger Baker is the best drummer in the world. He is Cream.
I once owned a rug like that. It really held the room together.
@@tchrisou812 👍😎😂☮️
@@charlessmith6777 best in the world? Really?
R.I.P. Jack Bruce, Cream is no more....
Cream Yo Nes Lo Mismo que antes
That's because he was Scottish through and through!
Cream is forever
=)
was long ago, but the reunion is awesome
I'm 68 and remember when every rock group had a diffeent and unique sound and style, not like the shit show stuff of today. Today all music seems so "formula" Guys, God rest your talented souls! Keep creating where ever you are!
Today's music employs a much narrower vocabulary in its lyrics, less range, more repetition, and less innovation. The music has, as you intuited, been dumbed down. No doubt there are many innovative musicians, just as there are filmmakers, but the big studios want a guarantee of big returns.
Today's crappy music are all geared toward making cash. Those 3 guys only got muic in their mind then.
@John K: Well, yeah. The commercial, "radio star" stuff. It's awful, derivative, homogenous, unlistenable nonsense. And regrettably, all done on a laptop with auto tune. (Billie Eilish was the first one to break the mold in a long time!) But most of the top ten is written by the same two guys. Swear to God! But to be honest, there's a HELL of a lot of great music today- It's just hard to find. Actually, Coen Brothers movies are a good place to start. Be well, everybody.
@@redshark9537 Well said!
"Sunshine of Your Love" features some of Eric's best guitar! I love it
Jack's bass, Gingers incredible drums, and God playing guitar. Rip Jack and Ginger.
@allegedly yeah man!!!!
@allegedly Agree
@allegedly hahahahahahaha YES JIMI WAS NO1 I was about to point out Jimi dethroned God publically but you've made the point ;)
my dad was the biggest cream fan and now my son plays it on the guitar,wish he was here to see his grandson
david cook The only Cream riff that I can play. Bass in this. Excellent!
Eternel Cream.
Simply divine! This song exudes elegance and perfection in every note, leaving a lasting impression. Tap like if you're enchanted by its allure!
Love how much Jack Bruce seems to be enjoying this, he absolutely slays this performance.
Back when rock stars had to EARN it..these guys were real rock STARS. Listen to it again and just focus on Ginger Baker’s drums. Brings tears to my eyes.
Bro. You got it so right. I'm a black guy in my 70's.. When most of my friends were in the Motown BS.. I was diggin' on this , CCR.ACDC. Lead Zeplpin, Ginger Baker was killing on those drums. I wished It could have gone on another 15 minutes. Best drumming in the world. RIP fellas. Imitated but never duplicated.
Best bassist and songwriter ever
Such a Living Legend Eric Clapton . I have been a fan since I first heard Cream in 1969 or early 1970's. I still have my albums.
When we were in our teens and twenties we thought we were immortal, and couldn't conceptualize an end to life, and just figured we would live forever! now the reality of this life is brought to the forefront by the loss of these kind of people who's talent with putting words to music helped us mark the way during the trip....... to those still with us thank God for you, and for those past, may you find comfort in God and his company, you performed no heroics or bravery, but you gave us such pleasure and enjoyment,😊😢❤✌🖖👍👏🤝🙏 what a gift!
Amen.....
Beautifully said.
Thomas Schoon nice thoughts ,nostalgia is painfull 😅marco cdf
I hate to disagree but I'm 17 and I have been scared of the thought of death since age 16
Amen
Thank you Google for not interrupting this great music with adds, which should always be played before and/or after a piece of music - and never during it.
David Brown the person who posts decides where the ads are and if there are ads
they were called cream. And they were. I loved that band. Still do.
It doesn't get any better than this! What a performance!!!
No ,it doesn't!!!
well said.
It is hard to believe this was 15 years ago. I remember how big the anticipation was and now Jack and Ginger are gone. I am glad they worked through all their personal issues to make this happen.
They always worked it out how do you think Cream started. It almost didn’t lol
This is real rock.
Two guitarists and a drummer; no keyboards, no horns.
Just 3 musicians.
Sort of like The Jimi Hendrix Experience & The Band Of Gypsys. Her's a present. I only found this now & it's the very best version of Spoonful i've ever heard & I didn't know it could even be done better than onn Wheels Of Fire hey! Just type in 'Cream Spoonful live 1967 AMAZING SOLO RARE' & those words will take you right to it :D
Sorry but Jack Bruce is a bassist
@@sebastiansandfeld9671 así es
Bruce ply a bass guitar
No stupid thingy-me-job in the ear either.... These people knew their music.
(None of that wailing falsetto boy band shite or crappy girly bands selling sex.)
This was the music. The be-all and end-all. To be remembered forever.
These are the masters of the musical universe
Remember when I heard this for the first time, it was awesome.
Saw Cream in Milwaukee, 1968. Had to be one of the most memorable concerts ever.
Two years later, saw Jimi Hendrix at the Milwaukee Auditorium.
I look back and realize, I saw the best of the best.
Jealous
