As to your comment about the audience's lack of "getting into it", when I saw Cream at the Family Dog on the 6th of May, 1968. Everybody there was dancing like they were possessed by the primal spirit of ROCK for ninety minutes (except for Ginger Baker's Toad solo, when virtually everybody was hypnotized and in awe).
I recommend Politician by Cream at their farewell concert. Jack Bruce was one of the best bass players of all time. And check out the very young Eric Clapton. If you want to go back further, listen to Clapton with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers (also with Jon McVie on bass, later a founding member of Fleetwood Mac).
Bless the bassist, Jack Bruce. He was still healing from a liver transplant during this performance and it kept him with us that much longer, for which I'm grateful. Rip Jack. Rip Ginger...
The thing toremember about Clapton is that his playing may seem somewhat subdued today, but when he first gained notoriety nobody had heard anything like him. His playing was revolutionary.
Given that this was a long-awaited reunion concert, I'd imagine that the audience didn't want to miss a single note. You should also give a listen to Robert Johnson's originals.
Cream did a great job at these reunion shows in 2005. Cream and Hendrix changed music and influenced many artists that followed them. Old school 60s Cream hits you may like, Tales of Brave Ulysses, White Room, and Sunshine of Your Love ( which I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard the famous riff before ). 🔥 Thanks for your reactions. I'm a music lover of many types and styles of music, it's a passion, and I enjoy watching people that are similar ( which I believe you are one) discover new music .
I do so appreciate that even with all your knowledge and experience (which just enhances each reaction) you are a TRUE fan and it shows in every pore and fiber of your being. Thank you for what you do and glad to be along for the journey... I'll bring extra carrots because I know by now that your one rabbit hole leads to another, to another, to another...
Great choice my man!! Love the pure & honest reactions. Check out another Clapton project, Blind Faith. Had to Cry Today would be a great place to start. Amazing guitar work from Clapton & Soulful vocals performed by a young Mr Stevie Winwood.
There’s a lot of Cream for your coffee Drama. Heavily influenced by American blues guitarists. Pre 1980’s Clapton: started with The Yardbirds, then John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, then Cream, then Blind Faith for their one and only album, then Derek & The Dominos (Layla), then solo. So glad you found this rabbit hole. No doubt, one of the GOATS of the guitar 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Drama, R.I.P. TO MR. BAKER AND MR. BRUCE, this was a reunion concert, they have not played togeather in Many Years, i feel that Clapton should have played this song with his Gibson ES 335 , to get that Humbucker sound,you are going to do a Cream concert, play that old guitar that sounded Creamy, I am not telling one of the greatest Guitar players what to do, Strat sounds good, But the Strat does just not cut it, Cousin Figel
Clapton has played with half the musicians in the biz. He's also been in almost too many bands to count, not including all his guest appearances or those who appeared with him. Has to be one of the hardets working musicians in the biz
I like you and your knowledgeable reaction, my friend :) I will even forgive you ( just this once though :) ) from interrupting an Eric solo... Good Luck...
If you get time, check out the studio version of Crossroads that was done live in 1968. The tempo was faster (obviously as they aged) and each member bled their instruments dry; they left all their stash on the floor. INCREDIBLE. ua-cam.com/video/jnJn8XbPeKc/v-deo.html
Excellent recommendations you are getting original versions are great too, and early live versions, well great too. Are you familiar with Ten Years After? This jamming reminds me of that, check out live album, Undead. I'm going home, for example.
If you like early Clapton (and who doesn't) have you checked out some of the early Yardbirds? They started out with Clapton, then he left and they got Jimmy Page (who later went to Zeppelin).
My second favorite drummer is ginger baker he was in my opinion the idea behind Animal from The muppets ..also check out blind faith....check out ..beware mr. Baker on your free time .... ua-cam.com/video/josXy65dQI8/v-deo.html
If you want to know Cream you need to get back to their beginnings. This performance would be great from a cover band but is WEAK compared to the original. The farewell concert at Albert Hall was full of tension among the band but that tension created great energy.
I enjoy your reactions. . .BUT. . .There's nothing wrong with really concentrating on the man's technique. . .I might look "subdued" to you but I'm just REALLY zoning in on the man's ability and how he's approaching each part of the performance. . .So you better NOT criticize me just because I'm not "groovin" outwardly. . .I'm into the performance every bit as much as you or anybody else who's dancin' around at the concert. . .In fact I'm more into the performance than many of those just jumpin' around and "groovin" because much of his technique and skill isn't really being paid attention to by those who are just dancin' around. . .And WHY would ANYONE care whether I'm dancin' around or not? WHO cares??????????????????????????????

Cream of the TOP musicisans ever!
It’s hard to believe they were only in their early twenties when their iconic albums burst onto the scene. The first power trio!
You should check out the live version from 1968... Cream at the very peak of their powers.
Jack's bass work is so great, just keeps walking forward driving
Listen to the original recording. Clapton's guitar work is amazing on that.

The original "Crossroads" was written by Robert Johnson in 1936. Cream brought it to another generation and another level.
The thing toremember about Clapton is that his playing may seem somewhat subdued today, but when he first gained notoriety nobody had heard anything like him. His playing was revolutionary.

🎸💯 Cream's early stuff was 🔥‼🤟
Yeah, definitely have to check out 1960s and 1970s Clapton to see the birth of the legend. Glad you're digging it!
Try Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love."
...and then there was one! Enjoy the older musicians while you can.
This is so good. 🤩Eric is one of Brian’s guitar hero’s.
You’re gonna have such a great time digging into Cream. You can’t go wrong with any of the reunion concert performances. Great show.
DRAMA!!! I urge you to review The Dirty Mac - Yer Blues live in 1968. John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitch Mitchell. IT IS AMAZING!!!!
Its good to see people recognising Jack Bruce's talents. Cream was comprised of three hugely talented musicians.
Cream?? Man, oh man. You’ve gone and done it now for sure, and I am loving every minute!
If You react Sir like that to that song, I strongly recommend You to listen to Cream - Sunshine of Your Love. Goosebumps guaranteed.

Jack Bruce, one of THEE GREAT BASS PLAYERS in Rock History.
Awesome you found Cream. This is excellent but a slower version of the Cross Roads many of us grew up with. Dig some more
Listen to the version on “ Wheels of Fire”. This is good. That was transcendental!!

I covered this song with a band on my channel.
Great choice my man!! Love the pure & honest reactions. Check out another Clapton project, Blind Faith. Had to Cry Today would be a great place to start. Amazing guitar work from Clapton & Soulful vocals performed by a young Mr Stevie Winwood.
Don't forget GINGER MFING BAKER
Such a classy touch by Clapton to allow his mates to enjoy the spotlight one more time.

The original power trio!
There is NOTHING out of place in that performance. A real triumph.
3 men over 60, 3 instruments and 6 orthopedic shoes equals a rock show that could blow any new wave “rocker” out of the water

Old timers kicking ass like they are still teenagers
Eric Clapton’s fantastic!
One of my all time favorites....! Thank you Drama
Just sitting back and taking it all in thanks for this my friend 👍
This song was wrote in 1966 I was 12yrs old
I like you and your knowledgeable reaction, my friend :)
I will even forgive you ( just this once though :) ) from interrupting an Eric solo...
Good Luck...
Please check, Sunshine of your Love
Sign me in assisted living center where they play on Saturday night's after bingo..please
All around London walls in the Late 1960's/1970's graffiti stating "Clapton Is God" and you interrupted "God" in mid-flow.....:)
Start digging into more Cream. You won't be discouraged. "Badge" and "White Room" are good ones to get you started.
You are listening to Cream of the 60's
At 60yo he still sounded great. Great Reaction. You may want to checkout, Clapton in Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home.
Cream was amazing. I would recommend watching the movie about Ginger Baker (drummer) called “Beware of Mr. Baker.” Was on Amazon Prime.
If you get time, check out the studio version of Crossroads that was done live in 1968. The tempo was faster (obviously as they aged) and each member bled their instruments dry; they left all their stash on the floor. INCREDIBLE.

From the same performance, 'We're Going Wrong' (the Alternate take).
Listen to the disreali gears album.every song is great!
British/European audiences are more "polite". They will sit more quietly, but really dig the music.
My second favorite drummer is ginger baker he was in my opinion the idea behind Animal from The muppets ..also check out blind faith....check out ..beware mr. Baker on your free time ....

Don’t want to knock this, but Eric is the B voice in this band.
HI im new to your channel
Can you react to Top 10 drops solo gbb 2019
Ty for noticing I hope you will react to it
Please do a reaction to Naturally 7 they're an all black Acapulco group and they are as good as pentatonx. No one does them and they need to be heard.
As an intro to cream, not exactly the song or version I'd suggest, but hey...
DUDE you have to watch the one they did in 1968 WAY BETTER PERFORMANCE.
If you want to know Cream you need to get back to their beginnings. This performance would be great from a cover band but is WEAK compared to the original. The farewell concert at Albert Hall was full of tension among the band but that tension created great energy.
