3 piece band all playing lead. Brilliant

Old rockers don't die, they go to that White Room in the sky... R.I.P. Ginger Baker...

"Yellow tigers, crouched in jungles, in your dark eyes." Christ on a bike! That cannot be a compliment!

Jack’s voice was such a power

This isn't just the best version of 'White Room' around, but probably the best recorded 'homage' if you will to the sheer power these guys had. Clapton's solo is a force of nature!

I'm 18 years old now, but I remember watching this when I was 9, just completely in awe of the ease in which Clapton produces such sounds. It sounds like it's coming from a whole different universe. Clapton, Hendrix, Page, and many others... a league of their own.

I think one of the reasons it sounds so good is the amount of reverb from them being in a huge arena like Royal Albert Hall. Listen to the echoey reverb at the beginning of his solo, it sounds so thick and great. I still think this is one of Clapton's greatest solos, though he has many.

All three of them were just bursting with talent in 1968

NOTE they can all play no faking no miming no synths- refreshing!

Clapton on a 1964 Firebird I. Those Were The Days.

That solo... no words to explain that magic.. the amount of reverb is massive, the sound is just heavy. that music was just magic...

Damn, this might be the best vocal I’ve ever heard from Jack Bruce

The first few seconds of Clapton's solo sounds so vocal with its phrasing and vibrato that it sent chills down my spine

Clapton's phrase from 3:36-3:40 is... OMFG. I wish he'd played this hard and this raw a lot longer. I know he wanted to get away from this type of power performance, but it's amazing with an intensity that I miss. The version of 'White Room' he did on the Eric Clapton and Friends tour in the 80's carried the sound he had evolved at that time and was 'classic' Clapton and I enjoyed that immensely as well. This I enjoy for the raw power and edge. My 2nd favorite performance of his is from the John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album on 'Stepping Out.'

Ginger Baker, one of the true great drummers

Possibly the coolest song ever (I can't say for sure because I have not heard all songs ever played).

I want more close-ups of Jack's fillings please, fucking 60s cameramen.

Eric shredding that guitar... pure genius.

The only thing I would say to new generations is this: just listen and learn, son, listen and learn…

A sound full of improvisation that combines blues and jazz.

This is the primordial ooze for every significant modern rock genre for decades that followed.

5:03 that lick is awesome.

Somebody should re-edit the original film if it still exists, this is such a good show would love to see a more watchable version.

My favourite Clapton solo

Incredible! Nothing else comes close, except for Sunshine of Your Love.

REST IN PEACE JACK!! YOU WERE THE BEST EVER

I think I have heard every live Cream concert that was recorded, it is a remarkable thing that their best live performance ever was their final one and, in my opinion, the best song of that night was White Room. Thanks for posting this. 👍

The sound Clapton pulls out of that Firebird during the solo is unreal. Throw in the reverb from the venue and it takes it to another level.

Best 3 piece band ever! Dang! No matter how often I hear it, I want to hear it again. Loudly!

Jack Bruce, the voice of the sixties....

Gone but Never Forgotten

Ginger might be dead but he is still the greatest of all time drummer.

The studio version of "Sunshine" sent chills all thru me when i first heard it in 68 as I was turning 13 yrs old. But this live version is incomparable, just f-----g great. Jack Bruce's vocals here are more creative, spontaneous, with better improvised phrasing than in studio version. This RAH concert footage brings back all the energy and the magical power of this song.

Probably the finest song by certainly the best 1960s band. I recorded this on a reel to reel tape from its original TV broadcast!

I like this version more than the original

A rock god on bass guitar !

Being a huge EC and Cream fan, I should have seen this a long time ago. No wonder they changed the world.

THE GREATEST classic ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME

Eric looks like he can't wait to get off the stage.

White Room Cream In the white room with black curtains near the station Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place Where the Sun never shines Wait in this place Where the shadows run from themselves You said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time at the station As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll wait in the queue When the trains come back Lie with you Where the shadows run from themselves At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd Consolation for the old wound now forgotten Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings I'll sleep in this place With the lonely crowd Lie in the dark Where the shadows run from themselves

I think it was the best live version I have heard. The singer was in top form it was awesome but oh so long ago.

Two jazz musicians, bass player and drummer and a blues guitarist.

Cream was together for far too short a time, but the statement they made was a solid imprint on the music scene of the late sixties, and they laid the foundation on which Led Zepellin built upon in the seventies and took power blues to another level

2:08 - 2:13 what a clean, precise drum fill. Shouldn’t be surprised but still am

We must remember that this was Cream's farewell concert. Jack was suffering. He didn't want to split up. Eric and Ginger left him to form a failure called Blind Faith. Still, Jack's performance was paramount, as usual.

one of the greatest preformences ever!!!!!

Just hearing the intro that makes me cry..

THE BEST DRUMER IN THE WORLD GINGER BAKER ERIC CLAPTON AND BRUCE MAN THEY WERE THE SOUNDS AND STILL ARE

Yeah, you've got that right! The reverb of the venue really adds to their performance. This is why I absolutely despise the close miking of guitar/bass cabinets and drums that is so prevalent in today's recordings, both live and in the studio. An overhead mic is essential. It is the distance of the mic and the sound of a given venue that really adds depth, scale, tone and nuance to a recording in a way that close miking can never achieve.

Genius times three...but you had to know it couldn't last. At least Baker and Bruce didn't exchange gun shots

what a quality! thanx

The cameras had a tremelo speed and depth knob in those days..... didn't you know? I'm pretty sure the wobbly camera was not the choice of the camera man more the producer/director. I'd love to hear from someone who was there and describe the volume- tinnitus for a week I bet!

Love that song, have loved it for 50 years.

By God what a song, immortal and great live version, thanks Cream 🙏💐

Clapton and Hendrix...both GODS!!!

Simply the best psycholdelic song ever

Excellent sound 🙌🏼😍

Masters of music!

what a beautiful musicians

THE best version of this epic group and song!

I remember seeing the Fresh Cream in Sacramento California. It was Creams first time playing in California. Awesome 😎

Beginning of heavy rock imagine if Clapton would’ve kept that passion for that kind of guitar playing! Sighhhh

thank you

" THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND"..

AMAZING GUITAR SOLO AND SOUND!!!!!!!

Favourite Cream song. Favourite song actually.

RIP Jack Bruce. Wunderbare Erinnerungen...

clapton is so awesome here,dude!

As bandas antigas são como vinhos de qualidade, sempre ótimos. Essa música é muito linda e traz muita saudade dos tempos bons.

Great concert!!!

after 6:00 I love how Clapton's guitar roars back into the flow of the song at 6:14

Thanks for the video. All the others I found were just the studio version dubbed over this video

fantastic.....

Still magic...RIP Jack...

I can say in my opinion, Jack Bruce was the driving force behind Cream. Others will say it's Clapton or Ginger Baker. But we can all agree it's all three of these icons of British blues rock that have touched our heart and soul!

🗣 For the first time I listened to the group *Cream (Live)* album. It was in 1974. at my brother's..

RIP JACK BRUCE!!

Fantastique!

Realmente la música es un recuerdo de los 60 y 70, no esperemos más!!!

Wow, I don't ever remember seeing Clapton play a Gibson Firebird before. I don't know why he gave up the Gibson's and went to Fender. Unfortunately the camera work was truly atrocious. Thought I was having an epileptic seizure.

I LOVE Bruce's voice!!!

Absolute power.

Great band! Where are those days gone!

They were called the cream because each guy was was the best on their instruments, hence "The Cream of the Crop"

Everything thing about this is epic, but Eric's solo is the standout.

Greatest use of the Wha ever. Period.

Brilliant solo Eric.

With 17 years Tony Williams was playing with Miles Davis. At 20 he already have a solo album

So potent, perfect match for those 3. Rip jack

orgasmic solo! Slowhand can do anything with this Gibson!

Guitar out of this world @ 6:22 sounds like its going through a time warp!

❤brillant

To any doubters, play some loud music and listen to a full song carefully from a normal distance. Then listen to the same song within 6 inches of the speaker (replicating close miking). Notice how compressed and dull it sounds in comparison. This is due to the ear's inability to decipher nuance and depth because the eardrum is being overloaded. This translates to recording loud rock music as well. A mic can only be a close facsimile of what our ears naturally hear, FROM A REASONABLE DISTANCE.

Clapton be like - my Plexis bouncing off the back wall of the Royal Albert Hall. That's my slapback delay pedal ya silly kids.

I still love Ginger Baker RIP!

This tune is timele

As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

Yup I completely agree, there's just something with that reverb that sounds great. It makes the whole performance just pop and seem larger than life. And true about the gear demos, they always seem to sound so thin and like you said compressed when close mic'd. Some demos they use reverb pedals so they don't sound terrible, but it's still not the exact same effect. Reverb adds so much character and depth to the song, just listen to the solo here, all the instruments sound so powerful. Thanks pal

For pure connoisseur !..

At the very end of the clip it shows Clapton's guitar looking like a semi-hollowbody(Gibson ES-335?), whereas throughout the performance he's using a Gibson Firebird.
