CREAM - SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE (BEST VERSION)

[MsVictor1956]

Cream and Gran Funk... Three Mans, but.. ORCESTRA!!!!

[steviea427]

Cool Man Cool! Dig It!!

[penescus]

seems to be like inna goda da vida with iron butterfly ??!!

[JohnyRingo2011]

Well we were all high as a kite back then!

[besamemucho5]

high as a kite....all of them...specially ginger baker....he was out of this world...

[OrchidTigress1]

Why didn't you play this good at CSUN years ago! :(

[INDLIS]

Clapton sang Crossroads

[3Firesiders]

DEAD STONED

[TheScott444]

Paul Butterfield, Gary Moore, Kim Simmonds to name a couple of excellent blues guitarists who are often overlooked....

[teddysalad65]

The little staircase bass riff that Jack does at 2:45 and again at 2:49 sounds so beautiful and obvious yet no one had ever done something like that before which is why Jack is one of the most brilliant bassist in rock history.

[PussyLiquor101]

the mear fact that they were all in sync with each other still sends chills down my spine.....

[13JHoward]

My Shoes are talking to me...But this song makes sense to my ears.

[toughserb145]

BEGINNING IS ADDICTING

[shredmaster100]

eric in heavy rock mode fucking best period of his life if cream hadnt of broke up ginger and jack would have pushed erics talent further and hed have been better than hendrix so its a shame but maybe in a parralel universe eric stayed with cream and is still god

[19TheLoneWolf86]

I can't stop listening to this song.

[ToughSerb146]

best band ever

[according2ed]

I prefer Cream to Clapton as the former had the psychedelic spirit, which, in its aesthetic sense, attempt to go beyond the realms of the norm and popular.

Cream, amongst others of that era, had it. Clapton, thereafter, didn't. He was sucked into the pop and mundane. Hence, i'm no fan of no band, only the spirit of a worthwhile era. To be suckered into 'fanhood' is to become a victim of the times, as opposed to having discerning taste when it comes to a choice of times.

Why is there a Nelly Furtado proposal on the right side of my screen? *poke*

[Brenjewell]

Shows Jacks pure class :-]

[ledwhofloyd101]

Ginger Baker looks like a super stoned Abe Lincoln

[thesinner922]

somebody hand clapton a gibson again

[stereoplastic]

@thesinner922 YES, we long for that thick creamy tone hes famous for!

[tomahawkbungle]

all genius`s are ugly somewhat.

[Badreeddog]

[itzcoatldefuego]

que cancion tan pacheca chido¡¡

[Greshapa]

Best version according to who?

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

damn i wish i could have been at Royal Albert that night for their farewell concert. thank God someone had presence of mind to record it!!!!

[markmarktarmann]

hold the tempo back ginger! yer rushin a bit. oh yeah . the speed

[Goldclaw837]

Eric Clapton is the BEST!

[glimmertwins4]

ALL stoned like HELL

[MegaJackofficer]

@glimmertwins4 yes....remarkably apparent, actually. The lights seem very bright...

[pilhadeira]

Para o fãs de Eric Clapton

[MitjaShi]

love the guy banging his head at 4:25

[Malfurion90]

1:59  special effecs = faulty cameras

[lumeriam]

Gods of rock.

[charliebe28]

I`M VIRTUALLY CERTAIN THS IS FROM CREAM`S NOV. `68 "GOODBY CONCERT" AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL IN LONDON. IT REALLY SHOULD BE LABLED AS SUCH.

[phddddd]

@charliebe28 And as good as that concert was, it was not Cream's best. They were tired, both physically and of each other -- Jack Bruce was scared for his life, Ginger Baker's mania towards him had grown so extreme -- so, you might like to tweak "best version" as well. Further on up the road, you can find Ginger and Eric playing wtih Steve Winwood in Hyde Park, summer '69, I believe. Despite being just possibly the best bass player alive, no need to ask why Bruce wasn't in Blind Faith.

[WhiteCamry92]

@charliebe28.

Aye, 'twas.

[jesusatethedinosaurs]

clapton is god....jack is the pope and ginger was their badass drinking buddy

[rhjernigan]

This is truly an american classic!?!?!?

[keithmoon1947]

@rhjernigan no americans here my friend

[corg22]

Like someone else said, you can tell this is near the end. Jack trying to keep the structure going--when Eric and Ginger start jamming~ you can tell he is nervous about going off the track.

[theGreenCarpet4]

love eric's shirt



[rhjernigan]

You kids dont know what you missed?!?!?!?!

[corg22]

@rhjernigan I do! And am sorry I missed it. No need to rub it in. :)

[passingpoor]

@rhjernigan don't be so sure we missed it!

[MultiOldmama]

WOOOW

[cappel95]

My goal in life: learn to solo like Clapton

[corg22]

@cappel95 That's a cool goal! But, you should just solo like you! :) You have good taste, so I'm sure your own style of soloing would be great too!

[kristinalkolb]

if you weren't ther you don't know



[MrHansAryan]

Goergebenson - you dont suck....because the delta pressure is reversed.....YOU BLOW! Negative douche bag.....go back into your closet and let us ALIVE folks engoy the music. we are having fun!

[Goergebenson]

shit what a load of noise!!!

clapton sucks

[keithmoon1947]

@Goergebenson and you are???

[60s4everdude]

1:54 Jack Bruce essential...

[MegaMrfuckyou]

that guy at 1:01 is badass!!

[johnIemon]

I don't care how stoned they were, they sound AWESOME! I wish I could have gone to all of their concerts, I guess I'll just have to start a band and play some Cream!

-Peace

[JediMasterCheryl]

I bet there is someone in the crowd that I take care of at a Sheltered Housing complex here in Aberdeen. Just cause they're old doesn't mean they can't rock the house gang.

[TheMattBlackk]

Ginger Baker - Drums

Jack Bruce - Bass and Vocals

Eric Clapton- Guitar

Mr. LSD - Stoner

[jpteacher2004]

You young people...and haters...you are forever judging...just know that they laid on us some fantastic music for the culture at the time...the likes of them and others of the '60s will never be seen or heard again.

Sonny69

[JediMasterCheryl]

@jpteacher2004 Indeed. Those kids, and 'haters', should thank god for BAKER, BRUCE AND CLAPTON. Obviously they don't get the music and are probably doing the really crappy 'designer' chemicals that make peoples' teeth fall out and their skin look bad. Get a clue, hipsters. The HIPPIES were here first.

RESPECT!

[ekiger]

@JediMasterCheryl but the beats were before the hippies. and hippies don't call themselves hippies. that's a term squares but on them.

[scottduncan44]

Eric has never played with as much energy since. Of course he has not had "partners" who kicked him in the ass mostly good side men who know who is they're paycheck. But then who does have the energy of youth and drugs as they get older. Its trully amazing though how great some of the young players in the late 60's were. Rick Derringer , Johhny Winter , Mike Bloomfield , Eric , Mick Taylor and maybe the finest white blues player of all time Peter Green. We are very lucky to have U-tube today.

[Fruscianteistheman]

@scottduncan44 hendrix ?

[colbdawg]

wish i was there

[MultiCgp]

Wonder if that guy in front has any idea he was immortalized that day at the Albert Hall?

[mrbloodytit]

It's songs like these that make me want to spank women!

[archy9752]

0:58 Jim Morrison died his hair red?

[IDontLiveTodayJH]

@archy9752

Nah, the guy at 0:58 looks like Roger Waters with ginger hair.

[slightreturn3589]

Rock on, boys!



[captainphoenix]

jesus cocaine anyone?

[skunkhead2007]

ginger baker looks like a lad i know at my local doctors,he always sells his vallium to buy crack!!

[fanofno6]

This just goes to show you how much today's music sucks!

[Lennyofbassist]

Anyone notice the bat shriek at 4:07?

[onenikkione]

how can they sit there and clap i would be up doing a crazy dance

[ignoxious]

Animal Baker

[Cam1092]

any one else think the camera men at the time were too frightened to look directly at Clapton's fretboard for more than 2 seconds for fear they would combust? Seems to be their line of thinking in every live Cream video ive seen...its a shame

[xHateHealsx]

First headbanger ever at 4:22! ha, and yeah, i realize this is my third comment, but I can't stop watching this piece of total awesomeness!

[xHateHealsx]

Also, am i the only one that finds it hilarious that his name is Ginger Baker, he's a ginger, and he's totally baked?

[xHateHealsx]

Oh man, this makes me wanna light up a j.

[HIHIMIII56]

Definitely best version. This is what drugs do to people! : D

[54Tangerine]

Man were they good

[robertdowney13]

baker was on heroin at the time so im not surprised, and best version ever

[JediMasterCheryl]

Good God Albert Hoffman!?! What have you done?

Whatever it is, this is when I wish I had a time machine. I was only about 3-4 when this happened...

[samruiz0000]

at certain angles Eric Clapton looks like Keith Richards

[JediMasterCheryl]

4 people are definitely NOT experienced...if ya know what I mean.

[blake17171]

dah, I met them and yes we were all stoned day and night,day,n nite,nite n day,jeff beck in there too.Unforgettable youth!!I think????

[o0musiic0o]

try to dont shake your head during the song, impossible

[willwelsh816]

wow, why is every other version at this concert so damn fast lol? love this, it cooks like a blues, but burns like good heavy rock.

[Pizmir]

That solo could solve world hunger issues.

[yokobr]

Clap clap clap clap clap clap cl- Clapton.

[JittersInternational]

lol they are fucking jaming out going insane and the crowd is all nicely seated clapping a steady beat, with one guy thrashing around...

[bigmatt9494]

those pants on clapton arent tight at all XD

[Chayse88Black]

Goddamn, that solo fed my ears like a Thanksgiving feast!

[hereoutsidemywindow]

s e n s a c i o n a l ! ! !

[narutoisashit]

im stoned just for watching this

[1of10justmen]

video reminds me of an old hippie joke. what do clapton and coffee have in common? they both suck without cream.

[SuperHill92]

bang



[yandynen]

99% of people thinking as you are stoner dudes

[TABETHA72076]

@yandynen of course they are stoned it was the 60's man they gave drugs away you had to get stoned!!!

[downtocrossroads]

awesome!! awesome !! cream!!! real 60's!!!!!

I'm an old man and used to listen to the tape of Cream!!!

[Zepp3849]

@downtocrossroads what is a tape?

[teegaro]

@Zepp3849 - cassette tape ? I think that's what he meant .

[sealudog]

@Zepp3849 ---8- track,

in the 60's

[msspi764]

@sealudog Reel to reel Ampex machine. That's how bootlegs were distributed. Cassettes and 8 tracks didn't exist.

[downtocrossroads]

awesome!! awesome !! cream!!! real 60's!!!!!

I used to listen to the tape of Cream!!!

[bassretro1993]

Jack Bruce is such a fantastic bass player!

[CireAknow]

What do Eric Clapton and Coffee have in common? They both suck without Cream.

[Synyst3rg4t3]

@CireAknow

Coffee? sure, but i'm sure he's probably fine with it..

Clapton? Hell no! his solo work is much more guitar influenced than cream, i wanna say they're both equal, but clapton knows his shit when he isn't held back.

[Lmximo]

CLAPTON IS GOD!

[duartegunsnroses]

other 1 % is almost stoned!

[Splitskirts]

Great live version.

[CatMommy]

Cream was like Stevie Ray Vaughan on steroids: STRONG. Stevie should have hung out with these Rockers he would have been The King of Rock. Eric Clapton minimized his whole career by hanging out with Bluesmen. Give the people what THEY want.

[cutis1000]

Does the band consider these two concerts at the RAH a low point or high point of their career together? Is there a reason why these two shows were never released commercially? Both sets were recorded professionally, as I understand it. But neither set has ever seen the commercial light of day. Is Clapton embarrassed by his playing? Or Ginger embarrassed by his? Anyone know?

[CecilEubanks]

Masters of improv..

[puddelisa]

Whatever. They were great. Listen to West/Bruce/Laing Why Dontcha

[rakoci74]

somebody put something in their drug ;)

[jannyrcobs]

According to legend, Eric Clapton lit up a cigarette on stage that night--the first to ever do so in the history of the RAH. The audience followed suit.

[Bulletwithguns]

does anyone kno where this took place?

[notoriouslizw]

holy solo!

[notoriouslizw]

holo solo!!

[eeemanjam]

the crowd don´t look that familiar with rock music lol

[tommyau2006]

@eeemanjam rock was only new then

[gs032009]

EC as a solo artist was a disappointment!! Maybe the first LP is worth listening 2. Cream and Bluesbreakers are his greatest inputs to guitar music in the sixties!!!!

[notmemate]

@gs032009 Agreed- Cream was his crowning moment- Bling Faith was cool but I don't bother with his solo stuff- too middle of the road for me.

[5150OU81219]

its a shame they had to break up...this was clapton at his best...not to say he hasn't had a great career, its just this was so heavy and epic sounding and they complimented each other so well

[TheRandombk]

The Ending was the best part. lol

[Trademark691]

when Ginger Baker looks back at this video, he must laugh...

[poweroflife1]

stoned drummer at 2:13

[1ostinspac3]

99% of that crowd is stoned

[MultiCgp]

@1ostinspac3

Well guys that was the way it used to be done, wishin' I could have been there myself...truly The Cream at their best...great they were able to do a concert at the Albert Hall in 2005!

[mcasenl]

@1ostinspac3

and your point is...? God man, everybody was stoned then. Duh!

[TABETHA72076]

@1ostinspac3 of course 99% of the crowd was stoned they gave drugs away then you could afford to be stoned lol!!!

[TABETHA72076]

@1ostinspac3 well of course they looked stoned they were it was the 60's they gave drugs away then you could get stoned for free who woudn't?

[TABETHA72076]

@1ostinspac3 well of course they looked stoned man! It was the 60's they gave drugs away then,who wouldn't be stoned?

[TABETHA72076]

@1ostinspac3 

[60s4everdude]

@1ostinspac3 99% of the band is stoned too

[kraken589]

so yeah clapton is like the god of guitarists

[daddyoj]

WoW- very far out footage. As they said- the cream rises to the top. Top of the power trio's too.

[skunkhead2007]

yeah man im in the uk anyway,...but thanks for the tip anyway i jump a free wireless signal any way so its there ip not mine.....anyway where i live its prety fucked area and the local police dont really seem to care or thats how it seems....so fuck them

[crakker321]

ginger baker looked as high as a fuckin kite

[claptonbrucebaker]

@crakker321 Ginger was as high as a kite for 20 years

[1ostinspac3]

@crakker321 please find me a picture or video of him that he isnt!

[painkillerzuuule]

@crakker321 sky is high and so is he :D

[Aeschylus]

0:57 Some more, some less enthused.

[lastwolflord]

cream with ron james dio was epic.

[hugoralu]

this songs is just incredible, in my opinion i preffer erik clapton cause he try to keep always his clasic stile taken elements from blues and folk, but page is awesome to

[TXAXEISTA]

@hugoralu I think we all have our preferences. I love Eric Clapton, But I am a blues person.

Jimmy Page, John Townsend, Jerry Garcia, still are legendary.

[skunkhead2007]

the drummer looks like a lad who goes to my local drug doctors sells me his blues(valium) evrey week for a bag of the nasty

[TXAXEISTA]

@skunkhead2007 Are you aware Drug Enforcement agent browse this site? I pulled your IP Addy in less than 45 seconds.

[micheleaspire]

this not is best version

[stuylocster]

headbanging in the front row lol magic moment

[zepher1494]

Hendrix and Clapton i don't think the world was ready for them to set the world on fire still isn't i fucking love this song!!!

[Crisstti]

When/where was this?

[CheshireCatOnAcid]

@Crisstti 26th november 1968 - Royal Albert Hall, London (their farewell concert)

[Crisstti]

@CheshireCatOnAcid Thanks :)

[louisguitarslinger]

Jimmy Page/Mick Taylor, all im sayin, ripped off a few licks from this man :p

[triptoheaveandho]

@louisguitarslinger

weeeellll Pagey was playing in studios and around actually working before Clapton

[louisguitarslinger]

@triptoheaveandho yeah for sure, but he didn't sound like this, he was playing sessions that couldn't afford this type of guitar work, Clapton was certainly relasing this type of guitar shit before page was (unless you have an example and if so, i would love to hear it!)

[MyFlipperLikesIce]

back when it was all about sounding awesome LIVE and most bands actually sounded just as good if not better than their recordings....love when a band is awesome in concert!

[robbopaloobop]

this rates about a 9.5 on the kick-ass-o-meter

[earl0520]

No, the BEST version was done at Royal Albert in 2005. I can watch that over and over and see something different each time. Gingers solo kicks ass big time. I wish that Eric would just keep playing and never stop in that video.

[Trixtah]

@earl0520 I thought Clapton's solo in 2005 was as boring as hell, Baker's drumming was leaden and it all dragged horribly. They can sing better, and playing was tighter, but that's about it.

[earl0520]

@Trixtah Yeah, and what do you know about music? Not much I would say...

[chinnkyyyyyyyyyy]

ayooo ! eric claptonnn !!

[Beverly2108]

Pure Musical Genius .... it is that simple.

[Puzzzelda]

2 people are gay.

[ANDEEDEE1]

Roal Albert Hall WAHOO !!
