My uncle was a first guy to have this record in our town back in the day... He sailed a lot for living so he collected it in America at the time and brought it here to Croatia... the whole town came to our house to listen to this song on repeat, people were trying to learn to play it by ear and it was a madhouse, still have that record :) cheers

🔥Eric Clapton🔥Jack Bruce🔥Ginger Baker🔥

The groove is coming from Ginger Baker, from his Jazz background as a drummer. That man is a genius. Not stable, but a genius musician. Blues and Jazz, before metal was a thing, helping invent heavy rock that metal evolved from. It's a great piece of music for slow-mo walking-through-the-place scenes in films. So cool.

Eric Clapton blew the Psychedelic / Rock world away with his use of the now-famous "Wah" pedal. The album Disraeli Gears is a Blues-converted-to-Rock masterpiece featuring very precise use of this new-at-the-time guitar effect pedal. That is why you were getting suggestions for "Sunshine of Your Love". Another absolute gem from this earlier album is "Tales of Brave Ulysses". Thank you Cream for the creation of this material, & thank you Lost In Vegas for caring.

The thing about CREAM is that it’s only three guys. The sound they were able to obtain from a trio is pretty incredible, in my opinion.

Jeff Buckley- Grace or Last goodbye Great singer/songwriter of the 90’s

I admit...I did feel a little let down when you did not go crazy for Eric Clapton's guitar work here, and the brilliance of what I consider to be one of the best songs ever written. But I have to say that I appreciate the two of you. And for very specific reasons. You two demonstrate 3 major things that had me subscribe and listen to almost all of your reactions to the songs you choose. This is the only channel of this kind I have found I CAN listen to and be entertained while seeing a song either refreshed with a new perspective or introduced to me with a good introduction. These are the 3 main reasons I love and recommend you when I can: 1. You do actively cross genres, and time periods. 2. You do have an open mind when listening. 3. You are honest with opinions without being rude in the slightest way. I have recommended you to many people. For example, friends who only listen to hip hop, those who are alternative 90s snobs, my own group of singer-songwriter fans, and my close friends who are like me: children of the 80s/90s but raised in the south from classic country parents. And some others I encounter who think that music stopped in 1979). A short story: Your review of Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, and Sturgill Simpson allowed me to show some friends who only listen to hip hop what it is that makes me follow these bands to catch their live shows. That was something that I could not do as well as you did. It may not have won them over completely, but they did understand it a lot better and have an appreciation now. And I appreciate that. It truly does bring people together when you open your mind, through your ears, to new experiences.

rip ginger baker, came here after the news of him passing he was one of the greatest

Kings X- Over My Head. Totally unique, original band. Horribly underrated band that deserved greatness but never compromised for mass appeal.

Classic track. It totally represents the era...perfect for rockin out and feeding the free spirit vibe. CREAM definitely is one of the originators of rock. Legends with huge egos that brokeup the supergroup. Imploded. but their work spawned and inspired more great rock music.

The wah pedal in this song and 'Tales of Brave Ulysses" is some of Clapton's best work I think.

R.I.P. to cream drummer Ginger Baker who passed away this morning. Dude always had sweet jazzy style in his playing that I loved. R.I.P. sir.🙁🥁👼

Stevie Ray Vaughan- Texas Flood (live from el mocambo)

Definitely a great choice.

25 Or 6 To 4 by Chicago!!!

Traffic: Dear Mr Fantasy. You've probably heard it in a soundtrack or something, and its genius.

Please check out Stevie Ray Vaughn texas flood live at el Mocambo

Led zeppelin ~ no quarter.... is a legendary song

Ginger Bakers drumming is a masterpiece on it's own. All three of them were masters of their instruments, the first supergroup

Strange Brew - Cream at their soulful best.

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

Creedence clearwater revival long as i can see the light

Damn they missed the mark. Probably one of the best guitsr solos of all time.

You should react to Cream, Tales of Brave Ulysses.

YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!!

Whiter shade of Pale- Procol Harem Horse with no Name - America Both of these are the songs I wanna hear after this one to stay in the groove

Oh shit! Didn't expect this but I am very happy you reviewed this and also that you liked it.

🌲. BLIND FAITH ,Can’t Find My way Home 🙋🏼‍♂️

You should check out White Room, Strange Brew, Badge, Crossroads live which is heavier live and what made Cream great. Great live band.

The thing that sets this song apart for me is how they structured the build in the guitar. It starts as just strumming chords in the first verse, then in the second it begins to show through with some Wah pedal fills between the lyrics, then it takes off more and more eventually rolling as a full guitar solo simultaneous to the last verse, and then finally taking the song over entirely for the final solo to finish the song. It's a really cool and very unique approach to arranging the vocal relationship to the guitar, something that many other bands played with over the years. Pay attention to that relationship next time you take a listen.

What I like most about your videos is that they're all about the discovery and enjoyment of music. Kudos to both of you.

Do Crossroads, you've guaranteed already heard Sunshine of Your Love. Crossroads solo was voted tenth best solo of all time by Guitar World in 2006.

Sunshine of your love is insane and definitely heavier.

Allman Brothers - Whipping Post. You won't regret it

I think you guys would really like Crossroads by Cream

Jack Bruce - lead vocals, bass guitar Ginger Baker - drums, percussion, timpani Eric Clapton - all guitar parts Felix Pappalardi - viola

Cream was an influence on Rush as was Zep,Yes and the Who. Speaking of Rush,still lot's of great tracks to do.Subdivisions would be a good pick for you guy's to do. Very different track from what you've heard so far. Someday I hope!

Cream kind of changed the game back in the day. One of the first ‘supergroups’, if not the first. The best players from the mid 60s London blues scene got together to play the blues. What actually came out from these 3 guys was way beyond what even they expected. In a live setting they were very different...for the first time at ‘pop’ concerts people stopped dancing and sat and listened as these guys went at each other (musically) for 15-20 minutes a song. Crazy stuff...

Uriah heep - the wizard. You guys need to try it

Cream and Black Sabbath were my favorite bands in High School. Tales of Brave Ulysses is my favorite song by Cream.

Dope song, but "Sunshine of your love" hits way harder!

Was very fortunate to see/attend the Cream farewell tour at LA forum. In '68 this was, Far out man! It was also, wonderful. Way ahead of it's time. Yes, blue's, psychedelic, is "right on" man. I was 19 at the time.

25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago and/or Sultans of Swing by The Dire Straits

Could you try Pink Floyd's "Have a cigar" its a song about the music industry. Or Great gig in the sky.

Now that you're doing classic rock, I think you should do one of the greatest: The Who. The instruments (especially the drums) are gonna drive you crazy. I suggest Won't get fooled again.

Tales of brave Ulysses is my favorite cream song, check that one out!

That’s actually a good ear: Sweet Home Alabama (Skynard) used the same bass line and drum pattern before sampling was a normal thing. Two foot notes and a beat. Foot note, beat, two foot notes beat. Etc.

Living Colour… Cult of Personality.

Eric Clapton is always in the conversation next to Hendrix as who is the best guitar player of all time.

One the very best trios if all time with influence that is felt to this day!

I really love the total variety of your reaction videos. I was 13 when I first heard this song. It is great!!!

Black Sabbath - Volume 4 - Literally any Song.

Jimi Hendrix - "All Along the Watchtower" or "Axis: Bold as Love"

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cream are both amazing and achieved incredible sounds in their music, but what makes Cream unbelievable is Cream was able to do this with only 3 instruments as opposed to Skynyrd's 6 or 7

You both make me smile. Love what you do!

Cream's masterpiece in my opinion. Perfectly shows off all of the members talents.

Please do some YES! That is all... But seriously, Roundabout, Starship Troopers, or America!

Awesome to see yall bustin out some classics

I wish I could tell you how many hours I spent in my bedroom as a teenager trying to learn Cream songs. Still my favorite British group and it's not even close.

Chevelle - Any of these songs: Family System, The Clincher, Safer Waters, Humanoid, A New Momentum, Clones, An Island.

Third eye By Tool!!!!!! Judith by A Perfect Circle!!!!!

You two are great reviewers!

No exploration of Cream is complete unless you've listened to their cover of Robert Johnson's blues classic "Crossroads" played live. Check out the Winterland concert version on KZfaq. It will blow your minds, guys.

Listen to Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath!

You guys should check out Creedence Clearwater's Born On The Bayou.

Eric Clapton, the guitarist here, originally started with the group The Yardbirds. Jimmy Page was also a founding member. After The Yardbirds split, Jimmy Page formed Led Zepplin and Eric Clapton form Cream.

Cream was one of the first "Super groups." Three extraordinary musicians. Another good video, guys! Love the way you keep it real. 💜💜💜

Helloween - Eagle Fly Free Iced Earth - The Comming Curse Symphony X - Sea of Lies

Gotta react to “I Feel Free” by Cream. Amazing groove and very soulful.

I hope y'all enjoyed it i love this song and it was one of my gram's favorite songs

Ginger Baker had his own group in the 1980s and was on a show (I forget which one) playing with his band and he was playing drum boxes; not drums but the boxes that the drums came in. And he was using fans.

Jimi Hendrix- Castles made of sand

I'm still longing for this... Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Live Wacken 2013)

"Around at the same time as Hendrix", you say. Hendrix's main condition for leaving his steady gig at the Cafe Wha to come over to England was that he would meet Eric Clapton, who was then playing in Cream. Once here, Hendrix's first public appearance on stage was jamming with Cream ( they played Killing Floor). Without Clapton or Cream Hendrix would probably have stayed in New York as "just another black guy with a guitar".

I grew up hearing Cream via my folks, but this track is featured in a lot of TV shows and movies that revolve around the Vietnam war. You may have heard it there.

Temple of the Dog “Say Hello to Heaven”

Cream was pre metal like Hendrix. They were in the same era as Deep Purple and right before Sabbath. One of the greatest power trio ever. Glad you dig it. As a guitar player it really influenced me

This was a cool song to watch you guys react to, nicely done. Cream was my dad's favorite band as a kid haha. Monster Truck!!!! Either The Lion or Don't tell me how to live.

The great Eric Clapton was the guitar player in this "Power Trio" Band of the late 1960s. drummer Ginger Baker is considered one the greats in Rock history. Jack Bruce is also a great vocalist, as well as Bass guitarist. The Band Cream was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Check out their long list of songs and albums.

I personally would have went with sunshine of your love but still a great choice. You guys should check out The Animals -house of the rising sun. Awesome old school rock. Way ahead of its time.

Yes! Great song! Check out Eric with Blind Faith "Cant Find My Way Home", and "Bell-bottom Blues" by Derek and the Dominos

Very good point about viewing it in the lens of it's time; this was HEAVY for the day.

White Room was the Flip side ( or B side ) of their 45 Record Hit Sunshine of your Love my old band played both tunes in our regular sets back then in the late 1960's Cream was awesome

Steve Vai - For The Love of God live with the Holland Metropole Orchestra

This is good, but Sunshine of Your Love is one of the best rock songs of all time. Also if you're into drumming, Ginger Baker was one of the best of all time. Check out the movie Beware of Mr Baker on KZfaq. What a madman!

Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass guitar, Ginger Baker on drums, The band name Cream comes from these three being cream of the crop of British rock musicians at the time. Eric Clapton said he wrote this song about Jimi Hendrix, kind of a culture shock moving from the states to England. It was kind of sad how great artists like Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, eventually Jimi Hendrix had to go to Europe where people appreciated their artistry. Howlin' Wolf wasn't a big star in the United States until he did a European tour with the Rolling Stones, Sure everyone who knew of the Wolf loved him, He was listed in the Chicago phone book and you could call him and drop by for a visit. I don't know if that opened up the perspective on anything to do with music on a historical level. take care!

I think this was the first time I've ever heard someone talk about Cream and never say the name Eric Clapton.

Hey - where is this metal chart?

You guys would've liked sunshine of your love better.

You guys will love anything by Mark Knoffler. "Brothers in Arms," "Prairie Wedding," Romeo and Juliet", "Sailing to Philadelphia", etc. etc. and if you want to witness great picking do anything by Mark Knoffler and Chet Atkins! It's unbelievably fantastic! And best of country and rock!

Clapton always impresses!

React to The Kinks - Lola. Do it just for the lyrics.

Can I get some love? Do "Black Betty" by Ram Jam and then by Spiderbait! Also "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains!

Blues the the main influences for guitar and bass. Eric Clapton is known for blues, and Jack Bruce, who unfortunately many today don't know, was an incredible innovator who played with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and many others. Both Eric and Jack also played on a lot of British albums in the 1960s. The drummer, Ginger Baker, is still incredible, and has for a very long time been known as both an incredible jazz drummer, as well as one of the loudest drummers ever! Cream was a huge influence on nearly every other rock band of the 1970s and later, though today.

The Skynyrd song that sounds the most like White Room is The Needle and the Spoon. Although you're correct that the chord progression is initially like Sweet Home Alabama. The reason for that is because Sweet Home Alabama uses a 1-min7-4 chord progression (which is D-C-G). The first 3 chords of White Room are D-C-G then it throws in a flat 6 (Bflat) passing tone to a minor7 (C) passing tone back to the one chord (which is D). So that's the music theory behind why you could hear that.

This video made my mustache grow!

Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of HENDRIX Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) Live is absolutely JAW DROPPING

"White Room" is such minimalist poetry, a stark description of a stark scene. Great song. Another Cream song that you should consider is my favorite by them, the totally psychedelic "Tales of Brave Ulysses." It's magical.

Eric Clapton is amazing. One of hendrix's heros. When hendrix first went to europe, before he was famous, he joined Clapton on stage in a local pub, Clapton was seriously impressed and helped jimi get his start. for some epic clapton try The Yardbirds. After clapton left the yardbirds, Jeff Beck took his place, then when jimi page took over lead guitar beck left and that's where Led Zeppelin came from. the yardbirds had concert dates to fill and they finished the tour as "The New Yardbirds" and when the small pub tour was over they changed the name of the group to Led Zeppelin and Rocked the World. Interesting note, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimi Page all played for "The Yardbirds" and all three are pretty much agreed to by the entire music industry to be the top 3 guitar players of all time. The Yardbirds were pretty much the start of what rock and roll was to become, started in the early 60's with amazing music never heard before. notable masterpieces include "For Your Love" , "Over Under Sideways Down", "Shapes of Things", "Train Kept a Rollin" and my personal fave "Heart Full of Soul" (jimi page version) also of note is the Led Zeppelin classic masterpiece "Dazed and Confused" was first conceived by Jimi Page while he was with The Yardbirds just before they disbanded in the late 60's.

Classic band...try Blind Faith “Can’t Find My Way Home “ Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood.
