Our last gasp of freedom in this country.

[YourZabbas]

2 people think jerry garcia plays psychedelic music better then cream.

[torker24]

I think I'm going to wear out the replay button.

[redstratocaster1942]

This song is terrific!! =)

[NLB90805]

Bought the Album on Tape for a Quarter back in the 90s. Became one of my all time favorite Recordings, album wise.

[MrHarky52]

@NLB90805 You luck so-and- so.lol.

[chism26]

The first album i ever bought was a Frank Zappa al

[zombie2pac]

you can't not like this song..

[GreedyNoobLike]

I've just been listening to various stuff i've enjoyed from different decades on YT, but when i come to close to Cream and the swinging sixties it's just like i've been away from home from a long time and just arrived back-what a wonderful feeling.

[justclassicalguitar]

perfection...



[apeshitdig]

Strange brew=LSD? YES

[steventhr]

addictive real music

[bamboosa]

@adultstorebob - I was 14. There was also Hendrix and the Doors and Coltrane and Howlin' Wolf and the Butterfield Blues Band. Just because someone comes from insulated ancestry doesn't mean that there were no intelligent beings in 1968.

[eLdiAbLoCo]

i listen to this song often cause this riff is always stuck in my head

[marioandluigii22]

wasn't this song in the movie blow?

[zita360]

url ends in dro

[steventhr]

great music

[jakesdxb]

Let the guy who disliked this remain ignorant forever...

[MrHarky52]

1st heard this in 1967.

Gets better every effing year

[Y0UdunG00FED]

1 single idiot disliked this great song.

[StinkyFinch]

@Y0UdunG00FED probably read this as dis-i-like

[Mr01271976]

@Y0UdunG00FED better make that 2 idiots lol

[Kevinhamby]

Before Cream was

West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band

The Electric Prunes

Fugs

[edctgbujm123]

@worldcitizenforever Did you just suggest Soft Machine is better than Cream? My God...

[adultstorebob]

Wow this is the same time Zeppelin was making their Debut wow what a freaking era of music 2 supergroups at the same time and noone knew it

[JPTill]

Rhythm hit on two--still gets me.

[morbels]

@JPTill

Exactly! It's like an axe, that one.

[APcaveman]

I still have all these 45s

[fireblossom2u]

Think of the timing and style of the bands:

Cream - 1966 - 1968 - First heavy blues based psychedelic format

King Crimson - 1969 Totally different music style

Gabriel's Genesis? Cerebral art music

Yes - different era of music

Rush - different era of music

Clapton thought they were going for traditional blues, Bruce was a classically trained musician, Baker was headed for African beats. The result was sometimes good sometimes awful. The good was often brilliant.

[joker137100]

This needs more likes....

What's wrong with you people...

This is real music!!!!

[swordofconstantine1]

This video needs louder audio...Dan Nealon

[vcx9dfne]

"She's some kind of demon, does she live in poo?

"If you don't watch out, it'll stick to you."

What's going on here?

[binka21]

@worldcitizenforever If you think Cream is boring then your straight missing out on some great music, that's all I can tell you. By the way, what is your favorite band?

[skunkhead2006]

MY FAVOURITE......NSU IS 2ND FOLLOWED BY SWALBR

[DCFunBud]

Never got old, never lost its relevance. The meaning is lost on me; the feeling is everything.

[69rubberduckey]

one of the sexiest bands ever

[blackXlabelXsocX]

listening to this album just kinda keeps my mind at bay. school just started. just trying to find peace of mind. good song.

[ledwhofloyd101]

I remember how curious i was lokking around when i was only five, when my dad came home from work, my mum and baby sister upstairs and me alone dwnstairs and pulled out all of his old vinyl and i used call this album (when i was was four) the colour ful album

[louies7mafia]

@worldcitizenforever

I dig the comment, however Eric Clapton must be something great for the Beatles to have asked him to play on the White Album with them. And he did win the heart of George Harrison's wife. So, he can't be that boring...

[DextervonSchumann]

i'm 12 and what is this? the guitars sound weird...

[louies7mafia]

@DextervonSchumann

This is the beauty of the late sixties guitar! And that guitar never sang so pretty as it did in Clapton's hands.

[BachnRoll100]

cream should be famouser...

[louies7mafia]

@BachnRoll100

...More famous...just sayin

[pattypattyfatty]

first cream song i hear was at 5 but my dad knew goo music still have to dip into the oldies but goodies was born in 82 so hey it wasnt relevent when i was born but to all you all hippies every thing is on the wheel

[louies7mafia]

@pattypattyfatty

I was born the same year. It was only in college that my friend opened my mind to more classic rock than that of the Beatles and Clapton.

[weLOVE2trip]

First Cream song I ever heard when I was 12. Still love it at 30.

[colemanthesoulman]

i love this song.

[buckyskank]

ALBERT KING

[Anitrop]

Clapton has real talent, not the showy kind where you play with your teeth or other such silliness. Not the flashy kind where you play songs that stretch your limits to the point of breaking on stage (we love you, Jimmy Page!). No, Clapton has the talent and the maturity know the notes he needs to play, and plays them perfectly, with spot-on timing, precision, and nuance. Clapton is a true guitar master.

Thumbs up if this rings true

[mattbastardsen]

Clapton has always given credit to his predecessors. This talk of him "ripping off" is really silly.

[GalaxyHorse]

I like the really disciplined rhythm guitar part-beefed right up-sounds like a blat of 4 saxes.

[Lanceisabeach]

wow I had forgotten how great this was

[bruces3]

Any lick or riff you start playing on guitar going to sound like someone else, cause feels like the map has already been laid out.

[BazzTheBoss]

sounds like a snapping twig, but it's clapton!

[devon11r]

the best part of this song...... the short, bluesy, kick ass guitare solo.

[ncbloom]

@devon11r if you want to hear where eric clapton ripped this solo from take a listen to albert kings song " oh pretty woman ". yes thats right eric plays the solo NOTE for NOTE. what a clown. when i was 13 i thought clapton was great , now i know he's just a rip off artist. always got to dig a little deeper to find the original, they aint gonna tell you on VH1. oh and if you wondered where the riff from " layla" came from - albert king as well. little tune called " as years go passing by"

[TheSpottyBody]

@ncbloom everyone used lyrics/licks from the old masters in Mississippi. Hendrix, Zeppelin, I digress.....Joplin. I know you are not going to call all these excellent artists "rip-offs" too! Bringing your roots or "influences" into your music is allowed, it is called creative license and gives honor to where it all really began. peace

[colemanthesoulman]

@ncbloom just listened to both of 'em. i think you're full of bs. clapton was not and is not a rip-off. plus, trying to sound similar to someone else is about the biggest form of flattery. very different from plaguerism.

[ncbloom]

@colemanthesoulman listen again bro. the song is called oh pretty woman. make sure you are listening to the original stax version. note for note from this solo. everyone thinks clapton is cool when they are like 12 years old, but then you learn a little about the history of music and you realize clapton is a pretender. if you want to hear real guitar playing check out buckethead. that dude has so much emotion in his playing its crazy.

[colemanthesoulman]

@ncbloom i went to see clapton a few months ago. it was awesome. i also love buckethead lol. think what you want man.

[ishawnm]

@devon11r You mean Albert King's solo from "Oh Pretty Woman" then? That is what Clapton played on this song virtually note for note.

[DCFunBud]

There's a whole generation marching to this music.

[13thfloor18]

@DCFunBud Yes indeed. I like hey lawdy mama alot and this is really funky and strange. The cream rises to the top.

[skitfel]

sick licks in this song

favorite by cream.

[sirronald69]

[doubledamx]

[louiseduvee]

[assmane999]

Bob and Doug: "Strangebrew". It's a cult classic here in Canada.

[cleanmrbroadway]

[rarebanana]

@ cleanmrbroadway - when did u purchase this album?

[cleanmrbroadway]

[TheSpottyBody]

@cleanmrbroadway me thinks 66 - 67.

[morbels]

@cleanmrbroadway

Best one I guess!

[tzouras]

@cleanmrbroadway me too

[jte2457]

@cleanmrbroadway First and only album I ever borrowed and never gave back.... Sorry Ricky .

[cleanmrbroadway]

@jte2457 Yeah, I remember hearing about you. LOL

[jte2457]

@cleanmrbroadway That was the best comment ever . Could not stop LAUGHING . Thanks .

[unclesamfatg]

Raw. Clapton is God!

[phddddd]

Revisionism can be a m...f... No one seems to remember just how exceptional and classy this band was in the early era of controlling your electronics. I love this band.

[TheSpottyBody]

@phddddd my old man played lead, Strat for Hendrix type licks or LesPaul or GibsonSG, said the gibson had a heavier sound...., whatever, I know how many heavy gadgets I had to haul....wawah pedal, echo plex, (at one time was not in the Marshall head? Long time ago....I just remember carrying a bunch of floor pedals and watching the old man use them....love echo....and sustain and feedback....my age is showing.....peace, keep on rocking the free world!
