Look up earthless, el Perro, all them witches, kikagaku moyo, amplified heat, white dog, radio Moscow… so many more I can’t think of. There are plenty of young bands forging the way of heavy psych still. They’re just not promoted and given tons of money and publicity like the 60s and 70s. People refuse the find good music unless it’s bashed over their heads by corporations.

Just one of many blues greats from Glasgow. I’m soooo proud. Thanks for this clip. JaneR

Also if ya dig this song by Cream on youtube 😀 you may enjoy Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and also read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZfaq. 😀

Super to be able to see these takes. But, much like the video of their finale show at Albert Hall, you never really get many, or any shots of Eric playing guitar. It's almost as though they intentionally went out of their way to avoid showing him playing. However, if you're a fan of looking up Jack's nose, your in clover !

@chriscampbell9191 2 жыл бұрын

There are a lot more shots of Eric Clapton on the Sunshine Of Your Love vid taken at this same performance. That take in itself is really cool because it's got an extended solo section where Eric is really ripping into it. All on his bridge pickup, too. Well worth checking out.

@@alanosterman7130 In the Sunshine of your Love clip, you also get to see the pick Clapton's using, which looks fairly thick. My guess it he didn't want pick breakage, and also he may have been striving for the most volume he could get. I've never seen any info on what picks Clapton used.... guessing they were thick celluloid or maybe nylon Herco? RE: High frets: there's a Yardbirds clip where they've playing on British television, doing Louise, and Clapton is playing way up there on the Telecaster. You can see a lot of the fingering in that clip.

RIP. Jackie, Finer was phenomenal on drums, but Jack was THE ‘groove’ background of Cream and this track emphasises my point, I think (modestly). Saw Jack in 2008/9 with his ‘usual 3-man combo’ set up @ Shepherd’s Bush - seeing Jack Bruce perform had been a long time wish of mine since I was around 13 years old (we are fellow Glaswegians after all) and ‘What A blast!’ literally because this little man could project his voice , having a very good understanding of projecting sound / acoustics. Again, RIP, JAB. With all my love, JaneR

Ginger is so good! I mean obviously the whole band is but neither Eric or Jack have stood the test of time like Ginger IMO (and I’m a guitarist). I grew up idolizing Clapton, Page, Hendrix and SRV. And for various reasons (maybe cause I can play their stuff) well I can’t play Stevie like Stevie but nobody can, but I’ve fallen in and out of love with these guys over the years. But Ginger is still top 5 easily. I’d put him higher personally but just so as not not get into a fight in the comments section of KZfaq I’ll say top 5.
