@tomthetemplar You've got me by a whole year! I was only 17 when I was there. Stuck half way back in the crowd and could hardly hear a thing. Made up for it a couple of weeks later though,as I was right at the front for the Stones. Apart from a gig at Wembley in the 80's when I was too stoned to know what time of day ot was, I never saw Eric again until 2005. CREAM LIVE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Probably one of the best gigs I've seen in my entire life.

the days before computers,i-pods,mobile fones,blackberries(except those you can eat),playstations etc,even central-heating only just making an appearance.you could just appreciate life as it was meant more to be
The vocals are better than Jaggers? PUH-leez!. Stevie Winwood is a great singer, but Mick owns that vocal track, and I mean by the way he sings it. in this clip it looks like Stevie forgot the words, and Clapton's lackluster playing make me realize just what heroin can do. Make you lazy and forgetful.
That was the marimbas Brian is playing on the original. Though similar. The extra tonal sound, is from a series of pipes that hang below the xylophone type board, each pipe increasing in size with each note.
Yes, Winwood's voice is perfect for this tune. His interpretation is not as nasty as Mick's, more jazzy. The marimbas would have been very cool on this arrangement!
Many people were pissed because Cream broke up and here was a band with Clapton and Baker that sounded completely different. Don;t get me wrong, Blind Faith was a great band and I wish they had lasted longer.
The sound was very very bad, and it was a boring concert, with no enthusiasm on the stage, like if they were just training for themselves. The only one who was cheered by the crowd was Winwood. Quite a lot of people were boo-ing in the back of the crowd....
Sorry, that's how it was...in fact...
Very disapointing compared to any other concet of any other group during this same year...
Thanks for the history lesson. But this video is also pretty disappointing too, except for Stevie. This would make you wonder what anyone ever heard in Clapton.
Well, it's not a "lesson"....They were announced as the "Super Group", and in fact no one even noticed that it was Clapton playing.... Well it could have been Stan Webb as well....No one would have ever noticed.
I think they were not ready for this kind of show, and moreover, the technical back-up (Sound & amplification) was not up to the level.)
I mean, they are all pretty good, taken separately, but the concert was bad in the end.
You are full of information. Whether you know it or not, you are an instructor, a disseminator of knowledge. The eyewitness account that there "quite a lot of people were booing in the back of the crowd" was a lesson for me. Keep up the good work.
Well, man, no joke. Just real facts and what I really heard. I fact people in the back were claiming that the bass was too loud, and covered the rest. Yes sir !
And the guy with the german helmet can be found as well at the rolling stones concert, same year. He or a relative....
Told you I was there....
I confirm they're all pretty good, but they did'nt really made it this time...
Once again, I suspect a problem with the amplification, sound surround..whatever...
He's got a piece of foam rubber back by the bridge saddles to muffle the tone, makes it sound more like an upright acoustic bass! Pretty cool!! I think E.C. was trying to NOT play the high energy stuff like cream here!! Cool cats!!
Like it this way, but it can never replace the Altamont, Stones performance. Thats played in such a dirty, raw way, this sounds like a lullaby when compared to that. Almost a different song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
These Guys were so high on themselves, and possibly under the influence, that they forgot to practice, and this Hyde Park show was a disaster. Maybe the beginning of the end for Blind Faith.
Read Clapton's autobio if you think Ginger wasn't the fly in Slowhand's beer! And BTW, Clapton claims he was happy to be an ensemble player after Cream. Clapton's ideal template: The Band!
Clapton complained about how bad the sound was. Form the stage maybe- sounds fine here. Too bad this band couldn't have stuck it out for two more lps. But the first was a rush job-feeling the push of Ginger to make a quick impact and rake in bucks. That's why Clapton was disappointed when he showed up in the first place--here we go back into the grind instead of letting the grapes ferment. Who would have been the best drummer to adapt to Clapton's ideal? Ansley Dunbar? Walter Fleenor?
dude baker knew claptons style of playing, he was in fact in cream with him haha, blind faith was for certain a great group and i wish they stuck around for a little longer
Hi Tommy, glad you're proud of your sexual preferences. I respect you but let me tell you... this is not the right place to do it, your comment is 100% off-topic.
I rememeber someone in the old "Elephant Talk" list mentioned that Greg Lake has the footage of the KC gig without audio, and the audio was released some years ago by Fripp in the Collector's Club
I heard two songs from that concert about 5 years ago. I have a friend who is a monster KC fan and likely a fan club member which might explain how he came across it. It sounded very good. I'll find out if he has a youtube account.
Some of the comments are so funny. That's quite expected when you're young or immature or too arrogant or too-one-track-minded, you expect everyone adapt to or follow your rules or have the same tastes as yours or else anyone or everyone who disagrees is square. As time goes by, when one gets over this immaturity it's more likely than not to see other's point of view unless one's a fanatic of one's own views. Isn't it nice to be able to appreciate both the Beatles & the Stones/Nirvana & GNR...")
Lovely performance, subtle rather than laid back (as some posters have described it) - great soulful vocal from Stevie Winwood (still barely 21 years old), and a lovely Booker T & The MG's vibe especially in Eric Clapton's Steve Cropper-influenced licks.
Part of the band's problem was that everyone, including me (a Cream-obsessed teenager at the the time)expected musical pyrotechnics and half-hour solos but that's not what Blind Faith were about. Great band, .
I was at this and it was a really hot day . donovan and ritchie havens were good. I was slightly disappointed with blind faith, as the hype had been so much in the music media, but they werent bad at all, just a bit too laid back.
i suggest buying the DVD of Blind Faith at Hyde on amazon or something. i got it cheap and it was such an awesome purchase. definitely get it. the whole thing is amazing
Man thank you who ever posted this it is So great, what a good, i fill like Im there.. Groovy time was had by all! I bet great cover of this song. Under my thumb rock on!
theres a whole dvd available for exatly that concert. but you r right its too less stuff available out there used to have several the who vids from channel5 but they where all gone by uncertain circumstances
The crystal clear clarity of this concert footage from way back in 1969 is simply amazing. Obviously It must have been shot for english television. there defintely isn't enough footage of all the great rock bands from the past thanks for posting.
The commie part wasnt your redeaming feature. Live and let live, individual thought, and responsibility was. Steve and Eric still jam and its still a stupid European theory with social classes.Not exempt form corruption, greed,elitism.. I suppose you want to be a worker? Your generation has become pathetic.nice way to label people BTW gonzo
Really interesting comments from those that were there. I totally get it. I was 16 when their album came out and remeber an interview that Winwood and Baker did for WABX Detroit. They were stoned beyond belief.
Ich glaube, dass Clapton viele Leute Beeinflusst hat und Er ist total Prima. Er ist nicht überschätzte. Ohne Ihn, Wuerden wir Weniger Beruehmte Gittare spiele haben. So man kann nicht sagen, Dass er Langweillig oder sheiss ist, wenn Er so viele Leute beeinflusst hat. Er hat mich sehr viel beeinflusst. :) Frieden und liebe :)
Wow, what an extraordinary rendition. Not that Blind Faith were perfect (though they were close, depending on what track, your train of thought runs). Jazz or Blues, or, new electric? Classical or avant-garde? More electricity? Distortion? Pick a style, any style. Sometimes you have too many styles when you only need one. Perhaps, this was one of the times. No less, I enjoyed the piece very much because it seems that the vibes were all right. That is always good. Peace
Four great musicians, but this version is so lame. It lacks the excitement of the Stone's version. I arrived just after they finished. I bumped into a musician friend who had been there for the whole gig, and he said "they sounded like Traffic on an off night". The album was good though.
it is kind of a curious cover song choice for them, seeing as how they had reams of material in their own careers to pull from. i don't see that the band is really "feeling the fire" behind this riff here, though i like the soulful elements...in a sort of loose, 60's style jamming energy.
Wow...I never heard a cover by Blind Faith..all I recall as a teen ager, was that Blind faith was literally a legend that came and went...A tale blowing in the wind...except that I knew it was real because the record was right there...
ke te cuento gliedo denueva cienta esta semana en playa del carmen ya sabes a tu salud esta rola y unas chelas en la playa, la nena tal vez sea otra pero igual y salud compadre......
Clapton ran away because it was the same thing as Cream - too much hype. They got sent on a concert tour and the only songs they had rehearsed were the songs from the one and only album which included a 15 minute drum solo. Clapton left as soon as possible for Delaney and Bonnie with D & D soon to follow.
I was there too and remember the crowd being a bit disappointed with all the slow, ballady stuff, when what they wanted to hear was Clapton doing super-fast solos. That's why people started wandering off. I guess the gig had been over-hyped by the music press, and the band could never live up to people's expectations. Listening to it now though, after all these years, it sounds great and brings back fond memories. What a terrific summer (1969) was... Thanks for posting.
I was at the concert, and what I remember was after about three quarters of the set most of the crowd had drifted off. I know this because at the beginning I was right up the hill, by the end I was right by the stage. Watching this nearly 40 years later, I'm not surprised. I guess most of us were expecting a Mk 2 version of Cream
Okay, the supergroup of supergroups. Some idiots suggested it was Winwood plus 3 session musicians- unutter nonsense although Winwood was more than 25% of the band. Good bass by Gretch- Winwood tried and failed to play keyboard bass. Clapton and Baker never quite hit the heights they achieved with CREAM.The head and shoulders of one band and an arm and a leg from two others never quite came off but they were bloody good.
I totally agree with bubba1245 - c'mon these are some of the best musicians ever. U think they might have a clue how to play to the audience, just maybe..? Brilliant, understated... and with little rehearsal apparently. You try it. Enjoy the majic people.. :)

Proof of Clapton as a competent rythm guitarist. Cropper esque almost.

Yeah, good comparison. I think Clapton wanted to step out of the light a bit and just provide some solid licks.

The crystal clear clarity of this concert footage from way back in 1969 is simply amazing. Obviously It must have been shot for english television. there defintely isn't enough footage of all the great rock bands from the past thanks for posting.

Yeah, this was pretty mellow but nice. And look at all them commie-pinko-hippies. Yes, and I was one of them. PEACE!

The commie part wasnt your redeaming feature. Live and let live, individual thought, and responsibility was. Steve and Eric still jam and its still a stupid European theory with social classes.Not exempt form corruption, greed,elitism.. I suppose you want to be a worker? Your generation has become pathetic.nice way to label people BTW gonzo

Really interesting comments from those that were there. I totally get it. I was 16 when their album came out and remeber an interview that Winwood and Baker did for WABX Detroit. They were stoned beyond belief.

Grausam lahm. Keine Energie. Aber was will man erwarten, wenn Clapton, der überschätzteste Langweiler der Rockgeschichte, dabei ist.
ropfi 3 years ago
Ich glaube, dass Clapton viele Leute Beeinflusst hat und Er ist total Prima. Er ist nicht überschätzte. Ohne Ihn, Wuerden wir Weniger Beruehmte Gittare spiele haben. So man kann nicht sagen, Dass er Langweillig oder sheiss ist, wenn Er so viele Leute beeinflusst hat. Er hat mich sehr viel beeinflusst. :) Frieden und liebe :)

Wow, what an extraordinary rendition. Not that Blind Faith were perfect (though they were close, depending on what track, your train of thought runs). Jazz or Blues, or, new electric? Classical or avant-garde? More electricity? Distortion? Pick a style, any style. Sometimes you have too many styles when you only need one. Perhaps, this was one of the times. No less, I enjoyed the piece very much because it seems that the vibes were all right. That is always good. Peace

i like the slow style. the stones now rush through everything. its so clipped unlike this which has some soul.

Four great musicians, but this version is so lame. It lacks the excitement of the Stone's version. I arrived just after they finished. I bumped into a musician friend who had been there for the whole gig, and he said "they sounded like Traffic on an off night". The album was good though.
fidomusic 3 years ago
it is kind of a curious cover song choice for them, seeing as how they had reams of material in their own careers to pull from. i don't see that the band is really "feeling the fire" behind this riff here, though i like the soulful elements...in a sort of loose, 60's style jamming energy.

Wow...I never heard a cover by Blind Faith..all I recall as a teen ager, was that Blind faith was literally a legend that came and went...A tale blowing in the wind...except that I knew it was real because the record was right there...

Clapton ran away because it was the same thing as Cream - too much hype. They got sent on a concert tour and the only songs they had rehearsed were the songs from the one and only album which included a 15 minute drum solo. Clapton left as soon as possible for Delaney and Bonnie with D & D soon to follow.
Four great musicians, however.

I was there too and remember the crowd being a bit disappointed with all the slow, ballady stuff, when what they wanted to hear was Clapton doing super-fast solos. That's why people started wandering off. I guess the gig had been over-hyped by the music press, and the band could never live up to people's expectations. Listening to it now though, after all these years, it sounds great and brings back fond memories. What a terrific summer (1969) was... Thanks for posting.

I was at the concert, and what I remember was after about three quarters of the set most of the crowd had drifted off. I know this because at the beginning I was right up the hill, by the end I was right by the stage. Watching this nearly 40 years later, I'm not surprised. I guess most of us were expecting a Mk 2 version of Cream

Blind Faith are fantastic.
I love this live footage, the whole performance is awesome.
Some of the best music to chill to.

Okay, the supergroup of supergroups. Some idiots suggested it was Winwood plus 3 session musicians- unutter nonsense although Winwood was more than 25% of the band. Good bass by Gretch- Winwood tried and failed to play keyboard bass. Clapton and Baker never quite hit the heights they achieved with CREAM.The head and shoulders of one band and an arm and a leg from two others never quite came off but they were bloody good.

I totally agree with bubba1245 - c'mon these are some of the best musicians ever. U think they might have a clue how to play to the audience, just maybe..? Brilliant, understated... and with little rehearsal apparently. You try it. Enjoy the majic people.. :)
