cream - white room

[vanslykemelissa]

nice video uploads…

[gazzaboy2531977]

This is awsome. This was the first time he had played with Jack since Cream and he was creaming his self here ! Totally

[darthj3d]

power trios are awesome. rush, cream, the jimi hendrix experience. need i say more?

[henrideath]

Maybe not the best power trio in history; if we prefer the Jimi Hendrix Experience. But I consider this song as a masterpiece thgough.

[nas555]

i know there's a video where clapton plays a RED gibson SG, would be very happy if somebody knew which one!?

clapton is amazing but that god thing is a little crazy, chill out a little people, in this video theres also ginger baker and jack bruce, both were absolutely mind blowing in cream but clapton gets ALL the cred..

cream is cream not because of clapton but because of baker-bruce-clapton, best ever and i consider it a major crime against mankind that they split up!! major loss anyway..

[frenchmoustache]

@TheCheryljacobs apple

[nivek0270]

i love how hardly any video ever shows clapton playing for more than 3 seconds at a time.... (sad face)

[EvilRedGoose]

Eric Clapton is Like "What the fuck?" Lol

[FreedomZealot]

As much as admire Clapton, I just gotta ask: What the hell HAPPENED to him? He was *incendiary* in this era.

[6Rorschach9]

@FreedomZealot drugs, alcohol, times changing, he went for a different approach. He got older and matured, focused more on a straight ahead blues approach and pop oriented experimentation. Hes still *incendiary* but in a different way.

[IchibanStar13]

this is misleading!!! he actually played a 335 for this! why is it showing the firebird!???

[sgbr76]

@IchibanStar13 As you can see at the end (from 2:54) he played it on a firebird (check Bakers movement... and Clapton hand... and the back of the FB...) but when plays on ES, the pictures are shaking (effected) so you can't identifie the guitar. I thought the same as you, but now I think, he played it on Firebird... The whole concert were mixed up a bit by movie director... eg. the film starts with the last song...

[sgbr76]

@IchibanStar13 and I won't be surprized if 1:52 would be straight from Shunsine of your solo part... Chek it there...

[johnalex1986]

how dare that garbage rapper take the name cream using periods

[1958jimmypage]

What concert is this? Also, can I get it on DVD?

[paulstearne]

fake

[SUZIQUZIE2010]

I should have been born in the 60's .......wish

[TheSanityInspector]

@SUZIQUZIE2010 Hey, at least you can watch this stuff on YouTube. Back in the 60s, you just had to watch whatever Dick Clark served up on American Bandstand.

[villanova85]

I had a much harder time learning to play Clapton's riff's and solo's than I did Hendrix. Randy Rhoades, Trower, Beck, Santana were tougher as well!!

[FlamingBannanaTV]

cream are a better group then the experience but hendrix is a much better guitarist.... the greatest guitarist in fact!

[bamboosa]

Fer crissakes, buy Electric Ladyland and imagine Eric trying to record a double masterpiece of innovation. Both are great guitarists, I learned to play in the late 60's trying to copy them both. Eric was brilliant in Bluesbreakers and Cream, bored the shit outta me after he went "solo". Please, the only solo thing he ever did was the acoustic work for Classic Albums - he always had a bevy of people holding up his spoiled ass. He has been boring and competent since 1970.

[TheSanityInspector]

@bamboosa Most any of his "competent" sides would have been a career high for any other guitarist. You say he's never topped his work with Cream? Well hell, dude: who has?

[TeleMacStrat]

@bamboosa I haven't been able to get into Clapton since he switched to a strat. The guy had all the original tone in the world on his Gibsons....... his tone sux goat dick on a strat!

[MsGORGONS]

@TeleMacStrat I agree...Strats are OK when played with a really bluesy feel (Hendrix) otherwise they're middle of the road boring and weedy...they look like sjit (unless they're black or spotty) How dunno how Leo Fender sold so many of them...maybe the Shadows? I like Rory Gallagher with a strat...

[KingHopeMusic]

@MsGORGONS Well...I love this Jeff Beck Strat I bought recently...but a couple of weeks later I bought a Hot Rod Telecaster. WOW. If I record the Strat on it's own...sure it sounds pretty good! But head to head with the Tele ?....doesn't measure up. Of course, I realize it's probably just me...other guys can squeak amazing tones from their Strats. I still love the Strat...but I grab my Tele first these days! Cheers. ~♫ KK

[MsGORGONS]

@KingHopeMusic I think if you were to try a VINTAGE tele you'd be over the moon...I've tried a 1973 tele and it was good...the best Ive tried is THREE different Gibson SG and also a v. old 335. The SG were really incredible...I mean the neck is a beauty...again matter of taste, I agree. Strat and Beck? oh ye I forgot

[KingHopeMusic]

@MsGORGONS It's funny...before I "quit" music...hahaha...and live performing I was a Gibson nut!! SG's? YA!! Les Paul's, ES-335's, odd one's like my L6S. Then...after an almost 13 year layoff...and having long since sold ALL my old guitars....I bought that JB Strat...then the Tele...and now jeez...I just LOVE these Fender's! You wudda thought I'd head straight for a Gibson when I decided to "come back". It's odd..picking style changed...everything. Don't know where it came from!! ~♫ KK

[PinkLederhosen]

Oh, absolutely! I totally agree. Ahead of their time. I was a teenager back then and even at a young age I thought some of the music that was happening was amazing. Beyond the norm. This was certainly one of those songs.

[TheMindfx]

CATERVA!

[derekswan144]

@mrjakedaman, i think i read somwhere that cream had gone to record in america and whilst there eric picked up a wahwah, used it in the recordings, and by the time he came back to england hendrix had beaten him to it on this side of the atlantic at least!

[MicrowaveWalrus]

so this is the same riff as Tales of Brave Ulysses?

[powchang]

thats what i was wondering

[georgekush]

sound slike it

[crosmas]

It is actually the same, D with a walk-down to C, B, B flat, C back to D.

Just different treatment and with different vocal melody and such.

[1958jimmypage]

@MicrowaveWalrus yes

[KzafHD]

@MicrowaveWalrus Not exacly

[druma1972]

@MicrowaveWalrus yeah

[druma1972]

@MicrowaveWalrus yeah except tales of brave ullyses uses a wah wah more

[grahamm13]

@MicrowaveWalrus nah instead of D to C to B to Bb (Tales of Brave Ulysses) its D to C to G to Bb to C to D again (White Room) though they can sound similar

[chooseyourblues]

@MicrowaveWalrus

same chords anyway.

[spyguys]

I want a Firebird now.

[Woody263]

I really think Claptons better than Hendrix - not saying that jimi wasnt good obviously

[happywarmgun13]

@Woody263 I know you made this comment a really long time ago, saying that clapton was better than hendrix, and I think you're right, but not at this time. Clapton seemed to really develope his playing and style after cream broke up, and after jimi died. I think he got a lot better than jimi as the years went on.

[DimmyAraujo]

Eric Clapton using a Firebird?? I can't believe my eyes O.o

[wheresthebeefheart]

Yep, after the SG. Then he moved to the ES-335.

[DunDamage]

yea he is ....

[MrJakeDaMan]

Not up on music knowledge but didn't Jimi Hendrix Experience come before cream? I think they are better too but that's just opinion :)

[mabumanssur]

noooo, they came after, and with a large influence

but cream was a power trio, inspired on buddy guy's band (according to clapton on his biography)

[wheresthebeefheart]

'According to Clapton' is the key statement here. I'll bet ya my next paycheck Bruce & Baker didn't share this opinion. They sounded like a slow blues guitar player playing over some heavy hitting jazzbos with big sound. And that's exactly what they were. Bruce & Baker didn't have the same influences as Clapton and their influences were probably more alike than Clapton's. I have a feeling Bruce & Baker fought so often because they had more in common. Familiararity breeds...?

[malkyboy731]

Hendrix's arsepiece must've been gaping when he heard this

[stephenhayesuk]

The admiration and indeed friendship between Hendrix and Clapton was mutual. However, Hendrix was the greater innovator and the more advanced player of the two men, and Clapton acknowleged this.

[greatfullybakedgamer]

@MrJakeDaMan and in jimi's biography it says that eric clapton was a big influebce on him

[MrJakeDaMan]

Read the other peoples comments they got it down and clapton was in other bands before cream so it doesnt mean that he was influenced by cream they were both made in 66' It would be hard to pin it to the exact month I will agree to disagree on this one because they are both great and were made a cuple months apart so I was just critizing the video makers description NBD :)

[greatfullybakedgamer]

@MrJakeDaMan cream wasent claptons first band and ok whatevere

[MrJakeDaMan]

thats what I said clapton was inother bands when i said he i was talkin hendrix

[Lonestarry]

It was, in fact, Eric Clapton that assembled the group Cream - didn't he do a marvelous job????? They are still one of the most talented and tight rock bands that ever played a gig - and - they were so far ahead of their time - even in 1968!

[bobzaopiano]

@Lonestarry

Eric Brought back from the USA a Fender Strat' and presented it to Dave ( You know Pink F)

Dave loved it

But i suppose you know that anyway

[dadswizz]

forgot how good cream were. loads since but stuff like this always makes me sit up and get my interest

[edmonddantes64]

Power trio filling Albert Hall full of sound!!!...you can't have a weak link in the chain. And they were probably all higher than kites!

Ginger Baker is an amazing drummer.

[TonyParanoit]

This is the only 1/4 you can hear the drums on.

[iamlame1]

would have been better if the cameraman focused on them playing rather than them singing. but still great footage

[vinylman4533]

cameramen in those days often missed the vital stuff that music fans are interested in. Like in some clips focusing on another player or singer whilst the guitarist played a solo.

[stromberg06]

from which dvd is this footage?

[vinylman4533]

Cream Live At the Albert Hall. It is readily available and is good value.
