This song made me pick up a bass

I prefer the firebird I but this is nice too

Cheesy walnut check pages ‘59 at the RAH show... so good

Check out tony iommi's sound on live bootlegs from the early 70s nothing beats it

You could say it sCREAMs

I prefer the sound of his Gibson SG aka the fool. Compare this recording with his ES-335 with the live at winterland version that was used on the wheels of fire album.

😂

Oh man, you should check out Creedence live in the Royal Albert hall. It’s even worse

At least the music is good

Neat...

At least we have a record of this. Stop yer moaning ya auld gurn 😂

Dig the version of Dimples the Allman Brothers did at Ludlow Garage. Not Clapton I’ll give you, but Dickey and Duane played with just as much fire in their leads on that cut as you hear in this

John Fullerton Yardbirds was before Cream, but this group knew the blues and understood more than any other British group. And my god, the fact that each member is a master with their instrument, nothing better ever than the Cream, to this day!

@@samueletoia806 I wouldn’t consider “you really got me” as hard rock. Rock definitely, but compared to the yardbirds even they weren’t hard

Well said.

@@samueletoia806 exactly ! " you really got me" was a shot song in that time. I heard it from Paul McCartney! The kinks changed the music!

@@VegetabIeMan Clapton was in the yardbirds

And Ginger

I'm 17teen and i couldn't see Cream live. But i think there is the best band in history.

Yet, they hate each other's guts.

DhangoMicheli - only Bruce and Baker didn't get along. Clapton walked into a shitstorm; never knew it existed when he signed up. Those two never reconciled.

Oh their tension was well documented, including Bruce smashing Baker's drumkit. But that has nothing to do with their efficiency as a rhythm section.

That's what I said. Eric had to get in between the other two many a time to stop them from fist-fighting. The stress on Eric soul must have been giant, two years were too much for him.

Daniel Micheli Ah, toughened him up. As Stevie Winwood observed, Clapton became a great band leader, but there was no sign of that in the 60s.

Clapton is God!

+Thomas Briggs yup!

+Thomas Briggs They ALL were, I was fortunate enough to see them in 1968, tickets were $2.50 each in Vancouver BC.

Rubbish, they were all burning up! At this point they were all as good as each other, that's what made Cream!

Clapton is just ludicrous good here but Bruce was amazing. RIP Bruce.

I’ve attempted to play this song in 3 bands. We got close but this take is in the pocket. Everyone is on fire 🔥

くく

agreed

@Babis Tse Eric topped Jimi imo. Jimi knew some tricks but Eric had more sheer power. Heroin ruined him.

Jimi Hendrix was someting else, way above the rest.

No. Cream were a three piece, three legs of a stool. Each 3rd made Clapton great, including Clapton obviously. Take Clapton out of the equation, and its bare for all to see. People forget that and wonder why he was only great in 'those days' and not after.

Jimi Hendrix: laughs in killing floor and tremolo bar

agreed, and shameful

bang on. dreadful!

I totally disagree. It's so in balance with the soundrecording of this gig.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. But to have video of this band and not see them play their instruments and see the stage and stage presence is bordering on a travesty. As a guitar player I would have also liked to see what Clapton was playing and how. Cheers!

I understand what you mean. But I think this way is way more interesting than the way they do it nowadays. ;p But yeah, you have a fair point.

+Ken Gibbens It was a Cream concert in the '70's, everyone was on fucking acid

+Ken Gibbens From what I've seen, until sometime in the mid-to-late 70s, the guitar solo was seen as an opportunity to make arty cuts and get footage of the drummer. Somewhere along the line, someone figured out that that wasn't what people wanted to see. Check out some old Allman Brothers with Duane -- there's not much of him actually at work. Criminal, it retrospect.

+Ken Gibbens yes

+Mathreyu Flamel Late 60's not 70's dude

The zoom lens was built into the then-new generation of television cameras. Some genius director thought it'd make for an "earthquake effect" as if the music was causing it.

😂
