They switched the chorus, well except for a slight moment after the 2nd verse, instruments are amazing, it would be amazing to put this music to Howlin Wolf's soulful voice
I remember in the 60s when Hendrix and Clapton were at their peak, there were listener polls every year. And at that time one year Hendrix would win and the next Clapton would win. When Clapton was with Cream, on a good night, he was considered = to Hendrix.
He still does when he gets back into the BLUES! Cream is and was the Godfarther of jamming! The nearly 20 mins version of this piece on 'Those Were The Days' live @ Winterland, San Francisco 1968 is about as classic as any Beethoven sonata and the same goes for N.S.U. Saw them twice @ Fillmore before I starting dropping but that don't matter now. Jack slapping that bass, Ginger his drums like a music maniac, and Eric unbelieving he could be making such sounds! You ALL were!
@StopTheMoti0n yeah, that´s right. With power it is possible to get more out of the notes youre playing, while playing really fast all the time never gives you a chance to linger on one note for more than a split second.But afterall, it´s all about peoples opinions.
@erikbear9 - I agree, to some degree. I think the death of Hendrix played a part, also. It is very unpopular to admit that hard drugs actually played a part in that fierce beauty, and so I never said so out loud. It upsets sober people. And I've been sober 29 years. I have to sweat blood to align myself with that magic in my singing and playing. My best work, I admit, was enhanced by LSD, or at least that's how it felt.
@daveceaser13 cream's spoonful is right up there with the heaviest blue cheer and MC5 songs, zep's dazed and confused, and iron butterfly's inna gadda da vida. this is pure blues rock at it's heaviest, nobody was able to top this for heaviness, until Sabbath came along.
I hate the fact that although cream practically rewrote rock n roll history they are barley given any credit when the question comes up "who is your favorite blues hard rock band?" they always point to Zep Sabbath but this my friends is were it all started along with Hendrix.......
@zepher1494 dont forget about TEN YEARS AFTER,boy i wish i was around back then.just imagine all the peace and love garbage and you had these great bands throwing down the heaviest shit i've ever heard.damn i'm pissed i was born in 67 i wish i was born around 50 or so .then i could've seen it all go down.fuck.
not my favorite version. Willie Dixon, Etta James and Howlin Wolf are more to my liking. This is just loud noise. I feel where Cream is comming from though. Everybody likes to be loud and raunchy sometimes.
back when clapton used to take razor blades to a new amp, slash away at the speakers to give that over driven sound. ( i think ).. for sure is what he did in earlier yrs
I played this song at Guitar Center on one of those special Gibson SGS & A 1960 lead marshall stack. The shreaders there couldnt keep up to the power I was producing. Power > Speed.
Holy balls! As much as I love Clapton, I feel that a lot of time in Cream, he was trying to keep up with the gods of Baker and Bruce. He's even said so recently. However, shit.......he actually took the lead here, the actual lead. That is one mean, raw solo. Probably the most aggressive stuff I've heard of him with Cream. Very, very raw. Well done sir!!!
WOW!! Best version of Spoonful i've heard since Wheels of Fire. Would've given my soul to be frozen in time in '67 as a Cream roadie; sure feels crummy to now somehow be 60, but what times those were!
@teleevangelist I WAS 14 AT TIME OF THIS RECORDING, AND WHEN THEY RELEASED WHEELS OF FIRE IN 68 WITH ANOTHER LIVE VERSION OF THIS, I WAS JUST STARTING TO PLAY BLUES HARMONICA, AND HAVE BEEN PAYING NOW FOR 40 YEARS, STILL LOVE DOING THIS SONG ON STAGE
Well, on religion and worship: why replace one outdated 'God' for another one (mortal, artistic, chemical, etc) - Just because you need to have one but can't 'conform to the old thinking' and need to find one with a new name? By doing so, you're STILL conforming to the old thinking, ironically...
what are you saying all of you?cream influenced by willie dixon you cant compare it dixon is the real thing the real blues so give a little respect to him...
@adelhssn Just listen to the dark, crushing chords and the searing leads. It's not all about dungeons and dragons lyrics. Sabbath is a parody of Cream at BEST. (and they probably would even have admitted so early on, they worshipped these guys)
How can anyone compare Howlin Wolf with Cream. Cream played a classic blues number and took it to the next level. When it comes to jamming blues/rock no one beats Cream, !
You don´t get my point, I have the deepest respect for HW as one of the greatest classic bluesmen, but is Cream is not classic blues, it´s a step between blues and hard blues/rock, so just listen and enjoy !
@kinggreenbaum1966 I hear Clapton was shocked by how good Hendrix was compared to him. Not sure what percentage better/worse or whatever, it's not really an issue, but are you saying that Hendrix couldn't beat Cream on a good day? I'm sure he could, or vice versa, sure...
@Saighton I dont believe in "best guitarist" in the world, but different styles and l just prefer guys like Clapton, Peter Green & Duanne Allmann before Hendrix. And Cream´s "Live at the Grande Ballroom" together with ´Peter Green´s Fleetwood Mac "Live at the Boston Teaparty" is in my book the best jam liverecordings I ever heard. have a nice day !
@kinggreenbaum1966 please dont get it twisted without Wolf there would be no cream and this cover wouldnt be.who do you think they have in mind while playing this song? Great music is simply great music.
True, but you gotta gives props to the originals, the US black blues artists who after all gave those English white boys the inspiration to follow in their footsteps...
i remember watching the cream farewell concert and thinking this was a fantastic version of spoonful...i`m so grateful for you guys for pointing out how mediocre it really is compared to those old black dudes...silly me, they`re white boys and used amplifiers...how could they possibly be any good?
My Philosophy class (Clemson) taught me how to learn the ideals of about 50 dead guys in four hours over some coffee at Waffle House...including the coffee, a generous tip, and the over priced book, around $1,000. Charlie Brown taught me to never try place kicking a football held by a feminist of questionable sexual orientation - didn't cost me anything and only took 30 minutes; and I actually still remember Charlie Brown's lesson!
Spot on mate..here in England we play with a round ball but the principle stands...AND i think ur right about that sneaky bixxx...i always thought she was a rugmuncher as we so delicately put it over here...Merry Xmas!
(LOL).Man please.Clapton is good but he is no God.B.B King,Albert King,Muddy Waters,Buddy Guy,and the great John Lee Hooker and others.Man,Clapton should bow down and kiss the ground these legends walked on.
fuckin A...they're just people man. great musicians, but they're just people. i mean if you wanna blow em that's cool for you but shit ain't no point in sayin clapton should kiss the ground they walk on.
@pauljohngerorgringo No God is God eric just came face to face with Him. He is something to be else. don't know any other than les paul or chet actkins that can play like him jimmy page maybe ? speedo
@pauljohngerorgringo Lets keep it real kid The wolf made them possible,so don't get it twist. This is coming from and older blk who loves him some cream AND THE WOLF TOO!
Actually God is God, I think Eric believes that too now, but neither here nor there, this was a certain time in history, fueled by drugs but really a strong appreciation for the creators of this music, they just did not know American youth had been blinded from it by design, the kids in Britain thought we were all into it. And in the early to late fifties the white kids were...then it went away till the Beatles the Stones, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, and the rest brought it back to America.
It's up now...their single greatest performance (captured, anyway). The GB show was their epiphany - someone said, and I agree. The drugs, the wall voltage hitting the Marshalls, the plate voltage hitting the Mullards, the chemistry that night was perfect.
An epiphany (from the ancient Greek "ἐπιφάνεια", epiphaneia, manifestation, striking appearance) is the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger) essence or meaning of something. The term is used in either a philosophical or literal sense to signify that the claimant has "found the last piece of the puzzle and now sees the whole picture," or has new information or experience, often insignificant by itself, that illuminates a deeper or numinous foundational frame of reference.
i don't know how you could "thumbs down" this comment. all three of the guys would say, "are you bloody, fucking mad? This never would have happened without Wille Dixon and Howlin' Wolf!"
It´s a bootleg called "Live at the grande Ballroom", try on bit torrent or Pirate Bay. Have several live recordings with Cream, and this one is out of this world, when it comes to jamming.
This song always reminds me of doing mescalin and fucking in '69 ,,, or was it '68 ? Anyway, I'm from NYC and Mary Joe was from Tenn. I turned her on to Cream and she turned me on to Johnny Cash. We had our own little ring of fire for awhile.
As far as we know man has always sought ways to expand consciousness and loose touch with "reality" . Plants, herbs, chemistry, music, dance, prayer, breath, hypnosis, s&m, meditation, etc etc. oh and virtual reality. lol
i found some indian church in the southeast arizona desert fuckin wilderness. basically anyone can join so your peyote legal in 5 states. they give you 15 fuckin peyote buttons in tea and basically tell you go take off in their 150 acre wilderness by yourself...theres a website and shit but...what about trippin like flying through dimensions and running into rattle snakes, scorpions ect... and this is like 60 miles from any town....scary shit man
And Jack Bruce is just greater as a poet than any American performance hands down. But because you can t say sh*t like that, it is not cool, then Bruce never got the recognition his genius should have gotten. As for originality, listen to the bass lines and the drums, realize the Clapton was fortunate to have this band. You cant touch this for greatness in its own right.......WTF i was there in 1968 and i saw it live
i was in Chicago for Cream in 1968, they did not try to hide the fact it was someone else's song. The simple fact is that the public did not know by that time what the Chess bros were doing or where to hear their artists and I lived in Chicago during the whole time. So you cant blame Clapton for America's white wash, at least it wasnt like Zepplin and Willie Dixon's Whole Lotta Love, He had to sue to get the recognition. Clapton did what he had to do.
calm down dude, god means many different things to many people. so i suggest you shut your mouth or learn to accept that people think differently than you do
i was at the grande in detroit that night and this recording sure brought back a lot of memories. i was only 24 and truly this was one of the greatest moments of my life.
your a fucking tard monkey the jonas brothers have troble changing chords and clapton doesnt look at his giutar most of the time. And these people are Rocks first Super Group. I dare you to play this with your eyes closed
you must be american, only nation to produce these bad self-esteem youtube terrorist who stalk every fucking line of comment and text if there are any errors or radical opinions, so you can mock them.... small dick perhaps... hmm
They switched the chorus, well except for a slight moment after the 2nd verse, instruments are amazing, it would be amazing to put this music to Howlin Wolf's soulful voice

And in the early to late fifties the white kids were...then it went away till the Beatles the Stones, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, and the rest brought it back to America.

It's up now...their single greatest performance (captured, anyway). The GB show was their epiphany - someone said, and I agree. The drugs, the wall voltage hitting the Marshalls, the plate voltage hitting the Mullards, the chemistry that night was perfect.

I agree, have nearly every live recordings with Cream, and GB boootleg is simply the best jam I ever heard.

An epiphany (from the ancient Greek "ἐπιφάνεια", epiphaneia, manifestation, striking appearance) is the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger) essence or meaning of something. The term is used in either a philosophical or literal sense to signify that the claimant has "found the last piece of the puzzle and now sees the whole picture," or has new information or experience, often insignificant by itself, that illuminates a deeper or numinous foundational frame of reference.

howlin wolfs version is the best that and maybe willie dixon's i think clapton and the lads would be the first to admit that

It´s a bootleg called "Live at the grande Ballroom", try on bit torrent or Pirate Bay. Have several live recordings with Cream, and this one is out of this world, when it comes to jamming.

This song always reminds me of doing mescalin and fucking in '69 ,,, or was it '68 ? Anyway, I'm from NYC and Mary Joe was from Tenn. I turned her on to Cream and she turned me on to Johnny Cash. We had our own little ring of fire for awhile.

Mescalin huh? My ex-boss said he did mescalin once and said it was crazier than any acid he had ever done before...
Psychedelics scare me cause I am a deep thinker anyhow, I think I would freak out and lose touch with reality.

As far as we know man has always sought ways to expand consciousness and loose touch with "reality" . Plants, herbs, chemistry, music, dance, prayer, breath, hypnosis, s&m, meditation, etc etc. oh and virtual reality. lol

To feel the blues you have to take a breath from the exhales from the deep black south. But cream proofs "White Man Can Jump".

And Jack Bruce is just greater as a poet than any American performance hands down. But because you can t say sh*t like that, it is not cool, then Bruce never got the recognition his genius should have gotten. As for originality, listen to the bass lines and the drums, realize the Clapton was fortunate to have this band. You cant touch this for greatness in its own right.......WTF i was there in 1968 and i saw it live
thefabb 2 years ago 2
i was in Chicago for Cream in 1968, they did not try to hide the fact it was someone else's song. The simple fact is that the public did not know by that time what the Chess bros were doing or where to hear their artists and I lived in Chicago during the whole time. So you cant blame Clapton for America's white wash, at least it wasnt like Zepplin and Willie Dixon's Whole Lotta Love, He had to sue to get the recognition. Clapton did what he had to do.
