Cream blew me away when I first heard them in 1967 (aged 15) and they still do today in 2021 (aged 69)! Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce - these guys were amazing musicians then, and still are today (RIP Ginger). Arguably the best Blues/Rock band of all time! Thank you guys!!
Right there with you👍
Cream we’re doing metal competing with Hendrix , some liked Cream better 🔥🎸
Excelente sonido en este video de la Crema en The grande ballroom ,1967 . Gracias You tube!
Cream spoiled me ,for all others.
In The MC5 documentary "A True Testimonial", Wayne Kramer (or maybe it was Rob Tyner) said they blew Cream off the stage at The Grande Ballroom. I love The MC5, but after listening to this...I'm not sure how that's even possible.
Lol
Never happened- I was there.
@@kenbash2951 I lit those shows. Total bs.
I knew Wayne K. and I really liked the MC5 but they didn't blow Cream off the stage. On the other hand, my band the Gang, did indeed blow the Grateful Dead off the Grande Stage- July of 1967. They didn't even want to come back on stage for their 2nd set- they were talentless hacks except for Jerry Garcia- who was a great guy. @@clydeblair9622
Kramer sounds like a BLOWHARD..lol
I was 14_15 years old and now 66 I still like listening to it and I still enjoy it.
me too .
Man, this was heavy and loud for 1967. As a live band, they definitely were paving the way for metal.
is proto metal, metal started in 1970 with sabbath, purple.. first wave of metal was the heavy psych era from 1970-75; second era was the NWOBHM 1975-1981, 3º wave was from 1982-present subgenres of metal; 4º 1990-present stoner and alternative/progressive metal..
proto metal was from 1966-1969 and also some bands until 1975.
Shhhh don’t say that, Ginger might hear you!
More like they paved the way for Tony Williams Lifetime and John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra. As per Roy Buchanan. "You call that rock? I call it loud jazz."
Definitely. Cream and Blue Cheer set the ground work for heavy metal. This is heavy still even by today's standards. Natural tube distortion (not fuzz) with power chords and hard hitting on the larger drums is the foundation.
The best years for rock music. Maybe the next decade or so, as well.
Holy shit. Massive Cream fan here. Have been from the first time I heard them over 30 years ago as a teen. I’m chuffed to have found this. You have literally made my day man. Thank you for sharing ❤️ ✌️
Wow, I never heard EC play like THAT before, and I've been listening to Cream for 50 years -- love the wah wah!
Cream and Jefferson Airplane are my favorite bands who brought an insightful and improvisational quality to rock music.
Say what you will about Ginger Baker's personality issues: the guy was an incredible drummer and his sound help to make Cream what it was. And he was versatile: there are some videos posted on UA-cam of him playing some 'jazz' and 'fusion' type material which he was quite adept at. That drum beating to 'NSU' is a classic as well as the famous 'Toad' solo which are Ginger Baker trademarks. RIP Jack and Ginger.
I you haven't seen the interview with Ginger Baker by Chad Smith it is a must see..😁😎👍
I was a 13 year old kid when this gorgeousness was made/played, in Detroit some 50 miles from the farm where I lived. I never saw them live, but Cream was absolutely my favorite group of musicians, from Fresh Cream on, until I became a jazz lover in 1975-6. Still, tho, at 65, I hum Cream tunes often and listen to them here on youtube. Jazz is my true love, Cream my second. This concert is blastingly, searingly wonderful...so very fortunate to have tripped over it here!
Well, Bruce and Baker were old jazzers so you were on the money,Louise!
Johnnyhmash: Jack was excellent with jazz percussionist Kip Hanrahan. Worth checkin' out!
Cream,Hendrix and Santana,led me to and prepared me for Coltrane, miles, ornette, etc.
I'd be interested to know who you listen to in jazz. I've made much the same transition.
@@mangalarobertwatling9168 I love Dave Holland, Anthony Braxton, AEC, Ornette, Mark Murphy, Eddie Jefferson. And the younger guys: Lounge Lizards, John Zorn, Chris Speed, Cuong Vu. Emily Remler great guitarist. Thomas Chapin. Europeans Willem Breuker, tons more. Han Bennink is Dutch mega percussionist, going strong at 80+, really fun, drums on anything handy: windowsill, lampshade, etc. Worth a listen! And Detroit's Griot Galaxy. Also Chico Freeman, Billy Harper. And Kip Hanrahan, puts together cool groups, including Jack Bruce. My ex- and I had about 2,000 CD's, 800 cassettes worth of various jazz/new music. He left, took half... But, I've got lots of good, solid jazz to listen to, no complaints. Live within driving distance ofvAnn Arbor so saw lots of great jazz 'back in the day'.
Jack!! Ginger!! Eric!!
Three Greats 👍🏻
Mucho mejor el sonido , tan bueno como en los discos . Gracias You tube
Love the raw energy of this band!
Clapton was as fiery as Hendrix in those days... " Tiny purple fishes ... " audience members taken out on stretchers with blown minds ...
Those were the days.
Of course Clapton was trying to do his best, after he got shown up by Hendrix earlier in the year.
@@jamessholtz6016 Yes, they were.
@@buldog190 Jimmy is still better. But, fuck, does Eric make him win it.
@@ianwhitchurch864 Eric is full blast in this show. Full power, full energy.
Best trio!
2 words. HOLY SHIT!!!
Wow!! For any Cream fan this is the creme de la creme ... this is Clapton's improvisational genius at his best. True, he throws in some of his standard licks but he also plays alot of stuff in here I have never heard before and I have been a Cream fan since '67. Our r culture owes a lot to You Tube for getting this stuff out to the public. A real gift.
the only reason i know anything of classic rock is youtube. basically a time machine
Hey check out carlygtr on YT version of this concert you don't get much better live Cream :) Peace
Amen brother !!!!! Been there since 67 also. Secretly, I wouldn't mind going to meet my maker with Spoonful from Wheels of Fire playing for all eternity. Just me and 16 minutes of perfection playing for all eternity. I've listened to Spoonful and or Sitting on Top of the World nearly everyday since that album came out. And have no plans to stop at 53 years latter ! This should have been sold as an album back in the day. It is such a perfect example of the talent Clapton displayed back then, up to Derek and the Dominos at least. But THIS is simply amazing, platinum all the way !!!!!
Werd
@@bobgarr6246 👍 Well said bruv!!!
Put this on. You won't take it off. Never again. Chk yes and like.
In 1967, the only two bands in the world doing this kind of music were the Grateful Dead, and Cream. This is psychedelic rock of the highest possible order. It's like being at the campsite when man discovered fire,
And Jefferson Airplane!
Seit 50Jahren verehre und liebe ich Jack Bruce!!
Ja, richdich!
Genius JACK ! God Bass/Singer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh- That Sweet WOMAN - Tone ! (when he turns to it) Eric is on Top of his Game Tonite - Hot, Smooth & in Tune. All kinds of new Licks & Phrases I've never heard before in any Live Performance. Thanks so much, Jim & the Rest of You.
This is raw heavy blues.
Thanks for the share ...
G-d I loved this band so much. They were scary good, it couldn’t last, but Ginger did his best to keep Jack and Eric from killing each other. These live tapes are otherworldly.
Really? I'd always heard it was Baker and Bruce that wanted to kill each other and Clapton was the peacemaker?
Yes, otherworldly indeed. This sends me right back.
Ginger and Jack were always at each other’s throats. They hated each other.
Jack and Eric from killing one another?
@@azul8811 It was Bruce and Ginger .
Clapton was the peacemaker.
Absolutely awesome stuff 😯
If you like this listen to Robin Trower Winterland Concert 1975 , James Dewar on Bass And Vocals.
Will do. Trower power '75. Let's head 2 to the lake.
Made me think of Jack & Robin's colab on B.L.T.
A fussilade of notes as the first Heavy Metal Band of all time lays it down...
heavy metal? You deaf?
WOW! As always with the greatest band.
OMG...that burning tone and that vibrato!!
Some stuff
Best concert I ever heard and I have heard many...
Cream should have performed at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967!
Their manager cancelled their performance there
Why? It would have made absolutely no difference. You don't have to have been great and/or be discovered at Monterey.
@@dropdtune9199 Why? Why not? They had already been discovered! Cream would have stolen the show!
@@thedrugstorecowboy2948 I respect Cream's ability to overcome adversity and succeed amazingly both live and on the record charts. Cream's absence from Monterey Pop Festival was that audience's loss. What might have been.....
@@BBINGHAM032352 But then Jimi wouldn't have? I don't think many of the performances were very good at Monterey....maybe The Who, Jimi, Janis, Otis. Isle of Wright had some of the best of this time. Way that cooler Cream played the Grande Ballroom. A hall right up there with the Fillmore's.
Great and good sounding concert! Thanks for sharing
I was at the Grande when this was recorded. Five feet from the stage and Jack, Ginger and Eric just playing some of the best music I ever heard. We saw them again at the Grande and were there for a third show but it was cancelled due to an illness in the band; really Jack and Ginger were feuding.
So nice!
The best
Thanx Baron Rojo;) 4 the upload...
Toad Eric....HOLY SHIT!!😳
Sí , los ingenieros de sonido son los verdaderos artistas en estas excelentes canciones de blues y por eso los acetatos tan pulcros .
The Beatles had their summer of love moments, Sgt Pepper et al…, but I bet they still looked around at Cream, The Kinks, Yardbirds, later Led Zepp and Pink Floyd at this time and thought ‘we better up our game lads or we’re f*cked! 😂
Никто не сравнится с ними в те времена, живые выступления просто огонь, никто в эти годы не играл так тяжело
Amazing Clapton
I just biffed up and want bck 50 years.... ty
I had a copy of roaring marshall stacks live at the Fillmore 68....it's called the cream for a reason.
El primer trío de rock todos ellos maestros insuperabkes
Clapton more firery than Hendrix? Jimi was afraid that he would be stranded in England if. He couldn’t make it there. Before getting on the plane, he asked Chas Chandler if he could take him to meet Eric Clapton. The meeting took place at a Cream studio rehearsal, where Jimi summarily burned down Clapton and ended the Cream. “Move over and let Jimi take over.” Just as he burned down countless other guitarists as he played the Chitllin Circuit in the U.S. Jimi sometimes had to play, to get something to eat.
Yeah! Turn it up!
57 years later, this world is a total klaustrofock, but this guys still rock unsurpassed
Two years later The Archies Sugar, Sugar would surpass HTW by the Stones on the charts. Hard to believe pop radio had any idea this type of rock was going on.

That drummer kicks ass possibly best ever blows peart away. And better more steady fast in a fast kicass way than. Bonham ya this dude is verybest hell i played with one of the best jeff connor witchfinder general. Finger death punch dream theater dude chumps. The 3 best ever is this dude 1 possibly peter criss 2 i use to think. Peart and bonham were but they do alot of lame type nerdy derf shit if u listen u get maybe2min solid. This dude 10 minutes kicked ass. Dude drums for missing person is good to and alex van halen 1980 tour had some bad ass i guess was synthesized or watever it was hell edward mite have made it but it made the drums sound like machine gun guitar. But drum yall can listen to it on any. 80 invasion tour vh. I was at one time one of the best. But i was like the bad ass wide reciever in football that had purposely shitty qb that changed plays and underthrow etc passes so u woodnt. Look good. Well same thing in bands i was in they bought me drumset with like card board box like covers. I put hole in and was told u play to hard. U must take drumming lesson from this. Fucking lame. With only a minature snare and instead of reg drum. Sticks had to use chop sticks. Fucking joke. Im a bad ass im magna rage in the crue song and did a feat for la guns 17 crash and ya ladies like song says at start i do like those to send me pic of urs. That music class on the very. Last big grade end of it we had to do a talent show with ur own words. Songs etc. Well none of the. So called studs jocks watever u call em so they begged me to do theres so i had arranged we do the backside version of sgt peppers. The faster one. And it kicked ass faster and better than the beatles lame asses well come the show only i was out there and they said do. A little by urself well i did and. They all broke out laughin. They did the carrie to me. Wrong fuckin thing to do. My so called bandmates got fists and guitars introduced to heads chicks that were bitches and thought they were the shit i never hit girls but got. Chunk of hair. Yanked out and lame teacher who purposely. Regressd my skills well he got a solo with real sticks that were under his desk. And when he tried to interupt that got head to snare and yes drum hide only legit one for me.which seldom allowed to play
WHAT ?????????
Great stories!!

So Cream ruled the planet in 1967 and they had too much to dream and voila! Along came Jimi...
WHATIII???????
These guys blow the experience out of the water lmao
@@stephenpeterson6676 Shit no. Winterland jam Hendrix played a live version that night of are you experienced . That blew away this only with one song. Also Mitch Mitchell was better than Ginger Baker Period. Listen to Third Stone from the Sun. What a great Jazz Drumming Song...
Clapton is God!
Leggend
They knew they had to bring their A-game to Detroit, or else the likes of the MC5 & Stooges would've obliterated them. This recording shows that they more than held their own.
You have to add Cactus in there too. I seen the Stooges at my high school in Windsor but missed the MC5. I saw the Amboy Dukes on the steps of the Detroit library. The list goes on......:)
@@jimiplayscobo5877 , the MC5 were awful cocky about how good they were, they were not even close to any of the english bands, Cream, Zep, Fleetwood Mac or The Who.
Yes this Sounds like Detroit rock show. Thinking iggy mc5 etc.. Were astonished at this ensemble!!
@@bluestingray67 ...love the 5, though they did have their limitations despite idolizing the English bands. Wayne and Fred would had to have been amazing to compete with the British axe wielders you mention, but I still acknowledge their contribution. Lucky to have seen KDT/ MC5, when toured New Zealand some years ago.
Yep. That's all folks....... nothin like it shutuuuuup son..
Listen closely beginning at 47:56
SG or Firebird?
Its the Fool SG all the way, Clapton does trem. arm dive-bombs on Toad - Whoa!
I saw the cream in '67 in Seattle. SG.
@@williamjc7195 envious of that experience wjc....any recollections of painful volume levels?!
beautifully loud. But not painful. I was on the Jack Bruce side of the stage . 2 weeks later I went out and bought a Gibson EB3 bass and have been playing ever since. My inspiration ...rip Jack.
@@williamjc7195 Thanks Friend!......after the fact, I began collecting and playing some of the axes used by my heroes. Wish I was able to see Cream. I've been deafened by some pretty great bands, but, Alas, never Mr. BRUCE or P.A.F. toting Mr. CLAPTON.
PEACE and Play On
I've heard a lot of Cream boots, official whatever. This smokes em all!
It's amazing what a truly talented musician can do with a Gibson guitar, Marshall stack and the pentatonic scale.
about 11.20 goes into major scale. Clapton one of the few blues players to mix both scales.
Grand Tarugo ! Caxola 10? No invert/and blade man
And a little heroin
@@cjsnidlio9409 a lil heroin, lol, jùs såyîn !♥️😎♥️!¡
@@cjsnidlio9409 LSD in that time
I can't believe this exists. My mom was at this show, she was 16. She remembers it as being very loud, but she remembers the MC5 as more exciting, who opened up for Cream that night. I'm just jealous all around. I wish I was there
The Grande was home turf for the MC5, the locals went mad for them, like your Mum. What a gig though. Both bands rocked live
my ma was there too! she graduated in 67
Michigan , at the time , if ever,was not exactly a hotbed of the Delta Blues or ,acid rock..they were more beer swigging hard rockers with their own Mitch Ryder/Motor City preferences
the stooges did proud in Michigan
as did Alice Cooper from Detroit
listening to this with headphones ---›LOUD.
Tripping my ass off on psylocibin.
listening so, so closely.. there is some wicked shit going in there; solo time and as they come back together and play off each other.
devil's business getting done!
God Damn smokin.
Absolutely crushing that scene!!!
Love
Jack Bruce had an amazing voice. It had a very good range and exciting,superb vibrato. One of the best bass players ever and an underrated singer. RIP Jack and Ginger
An amazing voice, I agree. Truly great electric and double bass, and cello player, too. RIP Jack Bruce.
One of the few in rock,who understood how to pace his breathing .One good example is "Dreaming" from Fresh Cream. Sure,it's a little throwaway cos they didn't have much original music at that point ,but i use it as a warm up exercise.
my younger neighbors cannot believe the musicianship , and the intensity.But we knew, and that is why this music keeps dinosaurs like myself , at 70,still running up the stairs, two steps at a time.
They were a blistering bunch
Awesome, mind-blowing for then and now.
Cream was the best and still is the best power trio and jam band in rock history period!
My brother, God rest his soul, was the biggest Cream fan I have ever met. He was in prison almost 12 years and he said everyone, white , black , Spanish, they all jammed to Cream !
Clapton played this Spoonful’s solo is like keeping the stars away from crashing into each other! Art.
Wow! Thank you so much. The meanest band in rock´n´roll history at their best. This is amazing.
They were ,FIERCE !
Jack Bruce, what a voice !!!
My favorite singer..
Schooled, not a throat singer , all emanating from the diaphragm his breathing was the key.And when he would be tearing it up on the harp ??
@@pootthatbak2578 Me too. His outstanding and unique voice was somewhat overlooked .Maybe because he was such a superb bass player.
These guys were and always will be the best at what they did. Like it or not, it’s some of the best and earliest heavy rock. The perfect blend of rock ‘n’ roll / blues / jazz played very loud with that great distorted guitar sound. Just awesome! Thanks so much for posting this bit of history.
and they are only a three-piece band...that makes them more great!
A little head of the LZ.
@@rickjohnson5619 Don't forget Sabbath!
@@themusicgenievol4685 lol Sabbath was my favorite band when I was young and there is no discrediting them. Tony iommi's contribution to the music world was huge. But to try to compare it to what was done here. Idkkkkk man lol
Led Zeppelin was in some ways Cream II.
I saw them that year when they played in Cleveland. They also started that with "Tales of Brave Ulysses." Clapton is out of this world on this one with the wah wah. I love the other comment that said the guy who recorded this asked them if he could record them, and they said "sure, it you'll get us high." That could have only happened in the old days when people played for the fun of it and the attitude was "let's get high and have a concert, OK?" Money wasn't on the minds of most of the '60s artists. Some, of course. But you got to see many bands in California who were really good in their own rights and could have been famous but were only playing in bars and auditoriums. I have heard this same song jammed on by a lot of bands.
A ripper show ! RIP Ginger Baker.
Don't forget Jack Bruce. RIP
@@cc12300 I'll never forget that voice and the incredible bass guitar!!! Heavenly!!! 🎸❤️🔥
Never have I heard Clapton solo with such abandon and fire. And I have listened to Clapton and Cream more times than I could ever begin to count. The whole band was on fire at this gig. So wish I'd have seen them first time around. Instead, had to wait until 2005. Loved every second of it but missed that raw power, adrenaline and fury that was so often a hallmark of their live performances. Now I shall go back to having my brains liquefied by the sheer magic that is/was Cream.
Klooks Kleek, '66, Klooks Kleek '66, Klooks Kleek '66.
Blues guitarist Jim McCarty recorded this with Cream's permission if he would get them some weed.
This is a true gift to all of us... whoever got this perfection quality recording its beyond a transport in time and space... wow .. and on top of it, the playing of that night is pure creative, yes the songs so familiar yet the playing is so much communicating the entire reason that the three did endeavor to be this very band, they the three are in total musical response, this is the essence of what musicians intend, all about the music, only about the music, any other thing was far away well sealed from any interference of the creation of the absolute celebration and poem of three instruments and the hands feet mouths of these living beings, so wow, and wow. and by the way .. on NSU are you hearing Ginger increase the pace with every new 16 bars and yet so subtle only that the two string men just flow with it and do what is to be heard never before... it's like rushes of onslaught in continuous waves.. on and on and with pure peace energy encompassing.. Enjoy and may He bring to you His Perfect Love, He Yeshua loves each of you and all Read all 21 short chapters Book of Johannan (John) He Lives
Stellar bootleg! In many ways,stronger than LIVE CREAM. Thanks to Mr. McCarty!
This is easily my favourite Cream boot! I saw them three times in '67 and this set captures the perfectly. In '67 they were at their creative peak! The version of Sittin On Top Of The World they play at this gig is extraordinary. Clapton's tone really 'burns' and he shows off his new lick in the intro. This lick can be heard repeated to great effect in the middle of the version on 'Goodbye'. In fact in that solo he plays it, then plays another, then plays it again. There's something about the fluidity of it!
My fave group
This is the real deal, alright. This is how they were meant to be heard.
I think we must share a pair of ears. (Or At least 1!) Anyway, best ever Sittin' on Top of The World I've ever heard!
I was at the concert with my older brother and friends...they were amazing....
Hey check out carlygtr on YT of this concert it's mind blowing :) Peace
Tales of Brave Ulysses as their Opening song. Hehehe, and going up from there.
Mr. Clapton takes you through astral planes with Mr. Baker pushing you forward (whether you like it or not) on N.S.U.! Unfortunately Mr. Bruce' bass is almost lost in the mix. But... his vocals are phenomenal!
Yeah, kinda wished Eric could have isoboxed a Fender amp back then, and Jack have discovered Ampeg or something stouter. Still, an amazing performance and recording job for the times!
Ladies and Gentlemen - Ginger Baker 👏👏👏👏
this band will never be duplicated. Ever. Period. For the era and what they succeeded in doing on stage with their music, nobody comes close to Cream in this genre. Great concert indeed.
Amen.
Uh, dude, aren't you forgetting another power trio from the same era that was as least as good and as innovative? Y'know, the one with Jimi on guitar....
The JHE didn't really have a bassist though. It's not close, especially as far as live recordings are concerned.
WOW that shredded my ears into oblivion. RiP Ginger. madman.
Out-Freakin-Standing
This is a GREAT show! Clapton is on fire!!!
I need a Corvette
,power trios have come and gone but creams music will go on forever love them to bits Eric is still bending strings like nobody else
Ginger Baker. RIP
