I just can not think of three better performers during my life time.I'm still enjoying Cream at 60 years old! Little did I think that when I was 15 that they would still sound this good to me.So happy to have learned to drive to this great song on an 8 track and have it today on CD! LOL Thank you thatkenny for posting this one! ♥
Imagine being a grandchild to any of them . So who is your grandfather ? " Ahh you know that guitarist and singer from Cream , he also did a little solo work ... He even played with a guy named B.B King "
@marokokisetter probably 60 yrs old when this concert was performed....i would love to be doing that good at sixty...eveb if i was stretching for the high notes
Clapton's voice is so changed from the original that I had to look up the original vocal to confirm that it was Clapton and not Bruce. Pretty good stuff for 40 years later.
@Postie218 I've read everything I could find on Slowhand and never was a word about nose job,but,so what if he did? HE NEVER CHANGED, so what's your point?
I have this concert and enjoy seeing it regularly. The only regret I have is the guitar, would had loved that Clapton played that Gibson ES he played in Cream during the sixtes...this Fender sounds kind of thin in comparison. No disrespect at all, Clapton can kick ass even with 6 laundry strings attached to an apple box and a broomstick, lol.
Awesome! I just watched a documentary on cream and what stuck out for me personality wise is Ginger Baker was the biggest puss box whining little bitch "their amps are too loud" you play in a rock band dipshit. Other than that I love their music.
Great God, would I have loved to have been there to see the great Cream. Yes, Ginger Baker is one of my favorites, along with Mitch Mitchell, and Keith Moon.
Sorry but rubbish fans in the audience. Id be up and down like a yo yo at that. man after listening for years on cassette then cd. thats an awesome version played there
The thing with Clapton is normally when a musician leaves this planet, one band (sometimes two) is usually ended forever. When Eric finally does it will affect countless bands.
Why didn't they do this song on the dvd of the farewell concert at the Albert Hall?
This is not only one of Creams best songs, it's one of the best British rock songs ever, Jesus Christ, just listen to Jack Bruce's bass playing on this, it's staggering!
if you have ever tried to play both the rhythm and lead on this song AND sing it then you know you have your hands full.. a brilliant song and done very well by its author ( george and ringo did help)..the only other guitarist to ahndle the rhythm and lead and sing ( and do it very well) is Justin Hayward but he is not in the same league with Clapton as far as guitar skills and Clapton cannot sing near as well as JH. Always a trade off..
Cream's attempt to sound Beatles like- -brilliant !
I've just finished reading CLAPTON by Eric Clapton and the drugs and drink he took in over 40 years is as staggering as his talent but he still looks presentable. But look at Jack Bruce!! Man, what a hard life. Ginger Baker has always looked like an old man even when he was younger. Clapton said he was drinking 2 bottles of vodka a day for 6 years! Two bottles!! No wonder Patti divorced him, he couldn't get it up for sex!
Id like to hear what Britney, the B person, and all the other pop stars of today sound like 40 years from now....that Cream sound this good without any autotune or overdubs is testament to their musicianship and raw talent.....sadly lacking in todays "musicians"(and I use that term very loosely)
Clapton isn't even using wah wah at all. That Fender has no balls. He should have brought back "The Fool" Gibson SG with a wah wah pedal. That would have brought back the Cream sound and made the performance more alive.
Clapton is a gift God... check the tabs online, not even close. He plays combined chords and half arpeggios like it's nothing. Never mind the lead parts... he shreds the guitar while singing. All of this in time. I can spell my first name with one hand and open a beer with the other... that's about it.

@TheSports37 According to the book Survivor Biography of Eric Clapton and an interview I've seen, the song is about nothing, absolutely nothing. Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were sitting around, hanging out, and started writing lyrics that would rhyme. And Badge was born!
That EB1 Gibson Bass Jack is playing makes this song. Epiphone now owned by Gibson has just released a version of that Bass after all these years! George Harrison wrote a great song and gave it to his best friend Eric. Interesting that Eric had a hard time reading George's hand writing. He mistook Bridge (the centre of the song) for BADGE! On the original recording, Clapton and Harrison are playing well, the bridge. Clapton does a beyond excellent job doing it by himself on this recording.
@ASurvivor1 , well, maybe I got wrong with the meaning of what I said. I think, Hendrix is over rated by people who have not true knowledge of music, they are so convinted about hendrix because they know only hendrix. Similar is the situation with people that know only Slash, they said the slash is super exc exc...they are not open mind . I think Hendrix was brilliant and huge, I prefer Clapton, but only because of my own, actually I admit the enormity of Hendrix. I
why is no-one going nuts, its the cream reunion concert a once in a lifetime opportunity and they probably paid alot to go, and everyone is just sitting there not even singing along
@Wbaxter60 True the band is two thirds English and one third Celt (Jack) but English Audiences are known to be pretty conservative. Chocks away, pip, pip and all that stuff old chap John Cleese said something like "it's a bugger being born English and never being able to let go" Unless you're Ginger Baker of course , he's a whole different kettle of fish!!!
We are used to see Clapton very secure on stage, but in this performance he is very out there with a small set, at great risk, sweating! Gotta love him.
@Brendelos Hendrix over rated? I don't think I've EVER heard anyone even hint at that, Probably because they'd knew it would show their obvious lack of any musical knowledge and be humiliated. Like probably happens to you everytime you open your mouth.
@TheXman511 This is my favorite Cream song but I don't like this version. You say 'doesn't get any better' . That's your opinion. It seems there are a lot here who like the original version. That's their opinion so don't be nasty. This is way too fast and his lead is seems improvised on the spot. Vocals are higher and even mis-pitched. The last word of each line in the original ends in and 'E' whereas the last note of each word in this version ends not in an E or an F but a flat F and a C.

@jonpaulmoen You really can't enjoy this crappy version sung with a totally horrible interpretation of the lyrics and hodgepodge rambling lead guitar. Many people here commented it's a really bad version so you STFU you obviously no musical talent asshole. LOL. Probably you are a wannabee musician who nobody ever wanted in their band.
@ASurvivor1 Interesting. You are telling me what I should and should not like. Are you GOD? Because others say it's bad mean that I should to? Wow. I'm not a musician. If you are, I wouldn't mind if you posted some videos of your musical talent(s). I'm assuming you are probably on the same skill level as Clapton? By the way, I heard that Eric had the flu really bad when they filmed some of these at the RAH. Peace!
@TheXman511 It's really no big deal. I was just saying I like the way the original song's lyrics are sung much better. Sorry. I wasn't comparing Eric to Christina. I was using the analogy of a singer who also doesn't follow the melody of a well know song. Other people who do that a lot are Stevie Nicks, Robert Plant and Ian Gillam. They can't hit the high notes anymore.
Since you are pointing out typing mistakes, I will reciprocate. In your reply you said, 'First of all its Aguilera.' It should be 'it's' and there should be a comma after 'alI'. Second. You typed. 'An actually my favorite rendition of the nation anthem was by Rosanne Barr.' An shouldn't be capitalized and it should be spelled, 'and', and you have made a typical mistake; (for an 8 year old) by constructing a sentence fragment. You also left out a comma after actually.
@TheXman511 Ok, and I supposed you like the way Christina Aguilar sang the US National Anthem? Didn't sound like it at all and neither does Badge in this video. Also, I think Eric is a fine guitarist, BUT he's isn't a guitar god like Duane Allman, Stevie Ray Vaughn, or Jimi Hendrix, and a lot say he is. Well. I'm not the only one who thinks he's overrated. Sorry.
God, I HATE the way he changes the note of the last word in each line. Really he changes the whole melody. WHY? Just do it like it supposed to be done Mr. Over rated Guitarist.
Listen to the studio version of the guitar break on "You Never Give Me Your Money" and the break in the studio version of "Badge." Except for the tempo, they are identical Harrison phrases.
If I say it sucks I feel like I am insulting my father or something. After all, EC was my mentor. A big part of who I am as a person and musician is because of this group and the Beatles. I have to say that for the most part, they lost it. They should have had an indepenant, 3rd party producer direct these guys now. Set them up with Marshall Stacks and old Gibsons. Tell them to think raunchy and dirty, Mic the drums more dynamiclly. Throw out the fuzz box...

@TheXman511 This is my favorite Cream song but I don't like this version. You say 'doesn't get any better' . That's your opinion. It seems there are a lot here who like the original version. That's their opinion so don't be nasty. This is way too fast and his lead is seems improvised on the spot. Vocals are higher and even mis-pitched. The last word of each line in the original ends in and 'E' whereas the last note of each word in this version ends not in an E or an F but a flat F and a C.

@jonpaulmoen You really can't enjoy this crappy version sung with a totally horrible interpretation of the lyrics and hodgepodge rambling lead guitar. Many people here commented it's a really bad version so you STFU you obviously no musical talent asshole. LOL. Probably you are a wannabee musician who nobody ever wanted in their band.

@ASurvivor1 Interesting. You are telling me what I should and should not like. Are you GOD? Because others say it's bad mean that I should to? Wow. I'm not a musician. If you are, I wouldn't mind if you posted some videos of your musical talent(s). I'm assuming you are probably on the same skill level as Clapton? By the way, I heard that Eric had the flu really bad when they filmed some of these at the RAH. Peace!

@TheXman511 It's really no big deal. I was just saying I like the way the original song's lyrics are sung much better. Sorry. I wasn't comparing Eric to Christina. I was using the analogy of a singer who also doesn't follow the melody of a well know song. Other people who do that a lot are Stevie Nicks, Robert Plant and Ian Gillam. They can't hit the high notes anymore.

Since you are pointing out typing mistakes, I will reciprocate. In your reply you said, 'First of all its Aguilera.' It should be 'it's' and there should be a comma after 'alI'. Second. You typed. 'An actually my favorite rendition of the nation anthem was by Rosanne Barr.' An shouldn't be capitalized and it should be spelled, 'and', and you have made a typical mistake; (for an 8 year old) by constructing a sentence fragment. You also left out a comma after actually.

@TheXman511 Ok, and I supposed you like the way Christina Aguilar sang the US National Anthem? Didn't sound like it at all and neither does Badge in this video. Also, I think Eric is a fine guitarist, BUT he's isn't a guitar god like Duane Allman, Stevie Ray Vaughn, or Jimi Hendrix, and a lot say he is. Well. I'm not the only one who thinks he's overrated. Sorry.

God, I HATE the way he changes the note of the last word in each line. Really he changes the whole melody. WHY? Just do it like it supposed to be done Mr. Over rated Guitarist.

Listen to the studio version of the guitar break on "You Never Give Me Your Money" and the break in the studio version of "Badge." Except for the tempo, they are identical Harrison phrases.

If I say it sucks I feel like I am insulting my father or something. After all, EC was my mentor. A big part of who I am as a person and musician is because of this group and the Beatles. I have to say that for the most part, they lost it. They should have had an indepenant, 3rd party producer direct these guys now. Set them up with Marshall Stacks and old Gibsons. Tell them to think raunchy and dirty, Mic the drums more dynamiclly. Throw out the fuzz box...

Why is this pitched up to Eb? This is higher pitched than the original.
