  • Great song; film would have been better if the cameraman wasn't so obsessed with examining Jack Bruce's molars.

  • imagine all the hippies on acid and other drugs who felt glad for the rest of their lives after this show

  • This is from a film documentary about Cream made during their Farewell performances at the Royal Albert Hall. It played for years after at many "midnight movie" theaters. (Remember the "midnight movies"?) But it is available on DVD. I have a copy. It isn't great filming, but this must be one of the first efforts to make a concert film. There were no parameters, no MTV, etc. So you could say that like Cream, it was an experiment. But I'm So Glad, they did it!

  • Were we really that young once? What a blast from my past.... Thanks for posting

  • Claptons best ever solo IMO - this is 68 remember - at that time there was Clapton and Hendrix doing this and that was it - 

  • @fishybishbash It's good, I nearly agree with you But his solo on the live Wheels of Fire version of Spoonful is untouchable in MHO. In fact, on that particular one all three are brilliant. But since we're obviously both big Cream fans, lets not argue. I don't think they did one bad song.

  • @deaddoc I didn't have Wheels of Fire - I do now - thanx

  • @fishybishbash Man, are you ever in store for a treat!

  • what a time when it didn't matter how or what you were singing as long as you were playing your heart out nobody complained, the best musicians come from that period

  • Wait, how is he feeling? I don't think they drove the point home.

  • I`m so glad.....q banda lpm....la descocen....muuuy bueeenooooo

  • I'm so glad they recorded this song

  • Poor quality video, stage and video but the quality of the group..........SUPER they are musical geniuses forever.... The Rock foundations

  • pretty close to the background hissing noise them 8-tracks tapes would start making after playing them once... How come they didn't make blue-ray before the old 33's LP.. Had to wait like almost 50 years or so for that to happened.

  • the insane drumming of Ginger Baker! 

  • @GrungeMetalRocker You must have caught his later drumming with Masters of Reality didn't you? If not, grab it up, great stuff.

  • 6 bieber family

  • As much as I love, and grew up with Cream, I prefer the SRC version of this song.

  • PLay as gods, sing as nothing.

  • GENIOSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  • Comment removed

  • hang on. Are they so glad?

  • Props to Skip James.

  • Comment removed

  • i remember Ginger Baker doing like a 45 minute drum solo on Spoonful at the concert at the Baltimore Convention Center in 1969 or 1970.

  • Cream's extended jams/solos were reminiscent of Coltrane's work with his legendary quartet.

  • @Easleytee Since Baker and Bruce were doing jazz before Cream, it makes sense that they brought it with them. I think what they did in two years time was and still is amazing.

  • i appreciate my youth !! we have experienced some of the most wonderful music ~ 

  • Eddie Van Halen's only true number one guitar influence... Eric. 

  • Remember

    Bruce was 27 Clapton 26  Baker 29 years old. What have you done lately.

  • Remeber

    Bruce was 27  Clapton 26 Baker 29. What have you done lately.

  • les magiciens du groupe the CREAM ,/ CLAPTON /BRUCE/ BAKER LOVE THIS SONG PERFORMANCE SIXTIES

  • wow the two top comment are from the same username

  • @jackgingeranderic - Ur dumb - Do you know how dumb that sounds - I love so many bands, and I constantly think of what a shame it is that so many people haven't heard the songs I've heard - Then I realize that everyone must feel the same way with all of the really really good music out there (current favorite yeasayer - Your a dumb ignorant jackass

  • thumbs up if your watching this on 2011 :)

  • @apestoakaka Thumbs up if you have loved this since you were born in the 60s!

  • @apestoakaka I´m watching THIS on 2012 !! and for many years, I hope so !! XD

  • @apestoakaka i m watching this on 2012 and i will listen to this "old shit" till i die ! ;-D,

    cream is one of the 10 best bands of all fucking times !

  • @apestoakaka every year ;)

  • Se lo ve como enojado a jack bruce

  • @39269430 el rock es de enojados, es una rabía reconcentrada hecha música y lo mismo podría decirse del arte en general.

  • *Skip James

  • Is this Scip James's song?

  • This just really proves Clapton wouldn't have been Clapton in Cream if it wasn't for Ginger Baker.

  • EC on fire from 1:45 to 2:40 - Clapton opened the doors for the great British guitarists to emerge. This version is excellent, but also check out Skip James vocals on the original. In my fantasy, I see Clapton playing acoustic duo with Skip James on vocals.

  • @teg598 who cares?????

  • @teg598 who cares?????

  • tocan muy bien,pero cantan mal como el culo jajaj

  • I wish I had been alive back then to go see all these guys live, it was a Renaissance of music that won't be matched for a while, thanks youtube for bringing these videos to us

  • Not in Colorado, sir.

  • Comment removed

  • Is it just me, or does it look like yesterday's drugs are more powerful than today's drugs?

  • Wtf are the top comments about drugs? They should be about the legendary CREAM!!!!!!!!!

  • I wasn't so glad when they disbanded.

  • @videomaniac108:The same with Zeppelin.

  • its not loud enough1!!

  • great song! thanks for the video

  • Mr. lead break velocity, Mr. Clapton. He said once that "he thought it is important to say something powerful and keept it economical."

  • Nice performance but the hall seems to have bad echo acoustics.

  • 3 dudes to make all that great music! Mega group! So ahead of their time

  • I played this song constantly, my mother would yell up to me "I'm sure glad he's glad but can you put something else on?"

  • a great end to a period of 29 months that saw cream make music history with their ground-breaking sound and original skills at improvisation. this version of "i'm so glad" is one of my favourites. long may their music reign supreme.

  • It was soooo good while it lasted! If only we could stay that young forever! Those were the best times of my life!

  • This is how I remember them from the late 60's Speakeasy.

  • I'm 'Glad All Over'...

  • Eric Clapton's improvisational skills are really crazy! Very melodic, hard, straight by open mind with great licks. He had revolutionary playing style.

  • Clapton looks so much better without that fuzztop hairdo he once wore.

  • great song to bad it was some poor black guys song .. i hope some one is getting royalties for this song besides the record company

  • Great song

    LOL

  • @rollinajay

    i bet its all gone now huh

  • Ginger Baker, John Bonham & Keith Moon are for sure my three favourite drummers!

  • @VictorRechnageL they are the three greatest drummers ever!

  • SUPER CHANNEL !!

  • Amazing!

  • I'm so glad that you posted this, thanks.

  • Ginger Baker on par with Keith Moon.

  • Only 3 people are not glad.,...

  • @bountybarobama666 your such an obvious troll please fuck off but in all seriousness i believe jack, ginger and eric were thinking about adding a 4th member to the group they were asking around for this kid who was hearalded as the next worlds greatest guitar player to bad he never showed up to the auditions though fast foward almost 40 years later and he runs the country....thats right obama was to be the 4th member of cream!

  • @zepher1494 Just think how different Obama's ( and our ) lives would be if he'd been able to find his birth certifiicate back then !

  • It's obvious Jack and Ginger really wanted Jeff Beck but were just too scared to ask

  • More soulless meanderings from Eric

  • Deep Purple do a good version too

  • This is the world's most annoying song. I'm sorry, and I love Cream, but this song is just, beyond annoying.

  • @ClaudeJSinging its a cover

  • *like a different song

  • I have one problem with this song similar to I feel free, why the fuck do they not develop the first riff? Seriously the rest of the song is so different it sounds like a song.

  • @masterofscotland its a skip james song.

  • jack is so beyond amazing

  • "I don't want to go -until i found it all out .."

  • Eric's playing when he was 23...was so much more compelling than today...and the tone he gets out of the Gibson 335 vs Strats. The strat was great in Let it Rain and the entire Layla record...but I wish he'd play the 335 on stage. He's so tame these days.

  • I went to see Cream back then. I got in the front row, because I got tickets from a radio station engineer. They were sensational. Because I was a dick and left my foot out towards the stage Ginger Baker tripped on me on the way to play toad.

  • Brucey is good , but I personally dont think this has anything on Skip James version

  • @Gripley25 Yeah well " Brucie" & his pals made sure you knew it was Skip James's and began to get him some of his bread. & cred.

  • This version pales to the nearly 10 minute version from LA Forum, '68!

  • @cutis1000 They edited most of these songs down from this farewell concert...

  • @tenfold Do you know where one can get the actual soundboard recordings from Cream's final concert in '68??

  • @cutis1000 Unfortunately I don't know. But check out a boot called Creamer. Recorded live in San Diego and LA on their farewell tour. Their soundboard recordings.

  • @cutis1000 There are many if any unfort. The Grande Ballroom 67 is pretty high quality, as far as boots go the first couple of shows from the 1968 farewell US tour are decent too. Oakland is good but most has been officially released sans im so glad and sunshine I believe. The show from LA is also in circulation and has a great white room. The quality is superb because the band was recording these shows for their final album(Goodbye)

    check out tela.sugarmegs for great Cream!

  • I liked the part where he said he was glad.

  • Even the url of the video says "omg" at the end

  • Glad being free... that harks back to the days of psychedelia & LSD

  • Glad being free... that harks back to the days of psychedelia & LSD

  • I'm so glad that I feel free.

  • this ginger got soulone of the best solo albums is songs for a tailor by jack bruce

  • this ginger got soul

  • For the one poor soul that doesn't like this clip, your shrink is looking for you .

  • @rabinski There are now 3 poor souls who don't like this clip (as of 3/8/2011)...they are probably Justin Bieber fans! These guys from Cream 'still have it in them' after over 42 years since originally performing this song in 1968!

  • I love Poetry Even if it's True

  • More than forty years since their heyday and they are STILL relevant, powerful and simply amazing.... love these guys so much...

  • AFABULOUS band.. E RIC WAS KIND OF SHYN TO PUBLIC.. i WAS VERY YOUNG THOSE DAYS.. JACK BRUCE I RECALL AS AN ANTIQUES COLLECTOR.. AND GINGER.. BECAME A NICE FRIEND OF MINE FOR A WHILE..

  • What's the name of the song again?

  • Is this a cover of Skip James the blues musician ?

  • @GriMxKxBxFxMxBx Yes it is.

  • awesome ,,,it just doesnt get any better than this!

  • Let me get this straight, is he glad?

  • I'm so glad

    I'm so glad

    I'm glad

    I'm glad

    I'm glad

    Cream all the way!

  • I'm so glad too!

  • I'm so glad its not butter.. wait..

  • I'm glad that they're glad

  • 2:35 I love the way they stop the song and take back to the verse

  • so glad they jacked Mississippi blues ...

  • Ginger Barker what a drum. He's like a machine gun on them drums

  • @dpbowen22 your f'n joking right ?

  • @viktorvaldemar If it wasn't for Cream no one would have heard of Skip James

  • @viktorvaldemar I disagree: great song, great cover. But since their interpretation is really different, i understand that everybody are not that glad with both^^

  • Im so glad im stoned.

  • There was a document where this song was. Great song and I was really surprised to see the document. So awesome playing and co-operation with 3 people. This is just something that is getting more and more rare to see these days.

    I think this was their last song and last live performance ever btw.

  • ginger's killing those drums man!

  • love

  • Having loved this song at 15, should I feel young or old? Whatever, this is great.

  • I saw ceam way back....they played as much against each other as they did with each other. They were the perfect combo of musicians.

  • I'm only 16 years old AND a girl, but my dad was of the Haight-Ashbury era, and he said that Cream was one of if not the ONLY true Super Band. Their ability to play so coordinatingly for such extended periods of time was unsurpassed. Few bands reached this level of performance. Jimi Hendrix Experience and few others were the exception. These bands changed music history as we know it in the best known way possible.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm so glad I picked up the guitar. thanks Eric and Jimi.

  • He glad

  • @aaallleeexxx62 I aint even glad

  • ditto

  • Jack Bruce - the most brilliant rock vocalist that ever stood before a microphone.

  • interesting. this has been edited down by a few minutes. i wonder why? anybody as familiar with it as i would spot it straight away. nicely done though...

  • I agree the last reunion wasn't much..it didn't sound like Cream to me....this however is great. Imagine what they used to record it 40 years ago. Not bad for a band on the breakup!

  • This is not Cream at its best, it's Cream at its worst. I didn't really enjoy the dvd, except from White Room and Sunshine of Your Love, all the other songs were really bad quality, even Baker said it. Not the way I wanted them to end, but, whatever. Pity that Jack said there won't be any other reunions. Maybe I'm for it. Clapton's style has changed so they won't sound the same as they did back then... :-/

  • im so glad i found this great video

  • i'm so glad this video is available for fans to watch. i miss the old tunes, man.

  • Hey, I couldn't view your link! You know, I actually a longer version of "White Room" from this concert where they did sound bad. I was shocked! I guess even the greats are human

  • i love how they just jam it

  • What an insane guitar solo. The all time best.

  • Hey, is there anyone out there who was actually at the Fairwell Cream concert? I would kill to hear what that was like from someone who was there

  • @MrMattTheKnife It was magical -- I thought I heard just about everything just like it was in the 60's. I was at Madison Square Garden in NYC but you can get the DVD from the Albert Hall concerts.

  • @MrMattTheKnife

    its funny, cause in one of their documentaries Baker says that he wishes everybody's glimpse into the world of live Cream wasn't from their farewell concert, cause it was really a pretty bad gig... Jesus, if this is a bad gig i would really have killed to see a good one! haha. but honestly, not to undermine them in any way, but i have heard and seen videos of some better live cream performances

    anyway, you can decide for yourself, heres the whole thing:

  • I'm glad too!

  • They are indeed glad! Or mad! And I'm also glad!

    There are a lot of glad (or mad) folks around here.....

  • I'm glad that I'm glad.

  • I'm so glad Cream existed.

  • @cuthbertallbad if it weren't for cream you would'nt have been born!

  • yeah, watching Jack's and Eric's expressions and listening to their anger they turned it into a protest song...

    i wonder if it was intended to be a protest song?

  • i dont think he was very glad when he sang this

  • thank you so much for this video!

  • I´m sooo glad I finally found them !!!!

    BTW Mr. C was sooo cute with this hairstyle !! ♥

  • the one and only cream! i love this song, especially when the band perform it live. this version from their farewell concert in '68 at the royal albert hall is one of the best around.

  • This song brings back many great memories:)))

  • What a POWERFUL force they were . 3 fantastic musicians .

  • @ancientax

    Cream was the illegitimate father to The Funk while they were The Pack

  • @ancientax they really were a true super group
