Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love

[mulemusic]

I remember watching this when it first aired on the Smother's Brothers summer TV show in the USA. I used a tiny hand-held recorder and taped the audio from the TV speaker!! It took many many years, but it was finally released on the CREAM boxed set.. Wish I could find a perfect copy of this video!! Fantastic!

[Dogdrum]

Funkiest version of Sunshine I ever heard.

[kubrick681]

Can't somebody find a better version of this clip????

[guitar1067]

Check out the powerful, soaring Jack Bruce vocal. Too bad the network made Clapton turn down. He still plays great though. Saw them Nov 3 1968 at the Baltimore Civic Center, just 2 gigs before they broke up. Best show I ever saw, along with Jimi Hendrix Experience at the same venue, May 16, 1969. Fans today don't realize Cream was bigger than the Experience till they broke up, and Eric was rated as highly as Jimi.

[TheForestmonk]

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG WTF

[HerrArendt]

@TheForestmonk Oh, thx, but I was born in 1987, U have 2 thx the people that had recorded it ;)

[jlmpeace27]

@HerrArendt i was born in 87 as well. right on, 87 FTW!!! LOL cream rock's!!!

[ryoohki523]

i saw a clip of this performance on tv and i've been looking for it everywhere!

[VIDJACK]

GINGER BAKER PLEASE!!!!!!!

[gazzaboy2531977]

check baker out man he is on fire in this vid.

[ljkm02]

Amazing :D too bad the video is poor quality : /

How come cream vids are so rare ? :S

Does any1 know anyother cream video apart from the Farewell/2005 ??

[fuzzblow]

This is passion to the ears... music like it should always be....

[donbossa]

eccezzionale!!!!

[dobermandhani]

That Firebird sound is amazing !! Eric is bad !!

[shredmaster100]

this is a very rare video never seen this version of sunshine before and its live clapton owns the solo and turns it into a proper blues song excellent playing

[hirvi93]

Claptons guitar is sounding too clean.

[hazor777]

I agree........it may just be the audio, but he typically overdrives the amp for this tune......I like it dirtay like on the original recording...

[evanguy]

@hazor777

He had to turn it down for the TV mics, I think.

[mopartec]

this video has been posted before and better quality and was marked from the Smothers brothers showed. it was pulled.

[avenger1000]

the guitar sorta reminds me of the gadda da vida

[nassreiskulturen]

me too. but it`s more appropriate to say that the one on gadda da vida sounds like sunshine of your love.

[yourtubesteak]

They ran Clapton's guitar right through the board because at sound check the studio engineers complained about Clapton's volume through his amp, saying they couldn't mix it for the TV broadcast. This is definitely Glen Campell's show. I have this clip (in WAY better quality) where Glen Campbell introduces them.

[metart93]

@yourtubesteak

is there anyway you could post that video? lol, im kinda curious

[Pece17]

Nice but too clean sounds

[thebassplayer69]

surely this must exist somewhere in a better format? i wonder if it was taped by the studio as well as what looks like off the TV screen here? jack sings brilliantly anyway

[thebassplayer69]

from the glen campbell show and so hence the crumby TV sound recording.

[Drumguy1988]

WOW Clapton sound is really Clean. Where's the Distortion. Sounds a little thin without it.

[marcelcruzeiro]

Jack Bruce sounded like Ozzy Osbourne (in his early days). Or is it the opposite? hehe

[jimclash]

it doesn't get any better than these three

[ajmell7]

eric on the firebird reminds me of the sound on the 'badge' solo.

[patfurlan]

this is from the Glenn Campbell show there have been cleaner versions floating around with the GC introduction

[claptonisgod014]

woah, ok clapton is who he is BECAUSE of his improvizing he's the best at improvisation there is no one like him. (Besides Duane Allman and Jimi Hendrix) the reason you don't think this is so great is no distortion make his amp like at the farewell concert and you'd be amazed at the difference.

[LinkBulletBill]

Great improvisers:

Eric Clapton

Jimi Hendrix

Duane Allman

Ritchie Blackmore

Jimmy Page

They all improvise amazingly!

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

i;d take page off there and replace him with beck

[LinkBulletBill]

What about you shut up... :)

Hey I can replace Jeff Beck with Pat Metheny...

Cause Pat would kick all the guitarists I have mentioned in my list with improvisation, I said great improvisers... And Led Zeppelin is a great improv band...

[univibe23]

Eric on the Firebird! O' yea!! Good stuff--wish the video was clear.

[HerrArendt]

sry, take it and send it to a cleaner... bu its very expencive

[HerrArendt]

take a look at the documentary about pop music, also on my channel. with Cream, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix etc.

[ScotRanger1960]

Anyone know where this footage is from ? Also if there is a restored/cleaned up version available anywhere ?

[imjustpassinthru]

Jack Bruce was actually singing in key and not acting childish in this live performance.....We know they had better recording equipment in 1968 than this!

[RoybertitosFan1]

this should be restored in high quality, it's a great great video! :D

[SGGuitarGuy]

haha awsome how the guitar riff here sounds so much more more colourful than in the original recording, nice video dude respect!

[xopowo69]

Funny thing that Eric Clapton was the LEAST talented member of Cream.

[19Stifler96]

And he is amazing at guitar.

[Axloooo]

mmm i don't think so, sometimes even ginger baker could't keep up the beat

[kandem360]

i awear he always did that on purpose.....he always did it...so I thoufght it was intentional. He will always be a legend.

[slick82958]

Baker did that on purpose. he was heavily influenced by jazz, free jazz is notable for going off and doing your own thing, speed up tempo, slow down, change beat, etc. baker used to get mad when people called him a rock drummer, always wanted to be referred as a jazz drummer.

[dubbly1]

@slick82958 5stars for Ginger Baker, Cream's jazz drummer!

[punkace]

He was way into African drumming. Watch the video of him explaining his technique and it doesn't seem like he's as much of an amateur.

[classicxguitar]

himm or eric just taught himself to play guitar and grew up to be a talented solo artist and a great improviser

[poorperson]

hes an OK improviser

[mrsuperheromanguy]

wtf?! hes a fantastic improviser!!!!! hes all about improvisation! its impossible to imitate him!!!

[SkaterKiddo89]

He isn't that good of a improvisor, but nonetheless a good player. I liked his performances with Cream a lot more than his solo career, but his solo career was pretty impressive, too.

[beatlesfan129]

your ignorance befuddles me

[SkaterKiddo89]

Your a no good faggot, that only wants people to adore Clapton, and your knowledge in guitar is probably even lower than anything else. In music, nothing is perfect.

[beatlesfan129]

Ok calm down I am sorry if caused such hostility from you, but Eric Clapton is known for his improvising. Your comment just did not make any sense to me. Besides I am not even that big of a Clapton fan.

[gnizak]

Great video, thanks for posting. The producers must have made Clapton turn down his amp or something cause I've never heard him use such a clean tone with Cream. And is there any better voice in rock than Jack Bruce?

[chrisdogan]

ginger is kickin sooOOOO much azzZZZ on those drums!! =) =) cream is fukkin awesome

[MusicaAntiqua71]

The best live version of SOYL I've ever heard. Especially Bakers shines. Maybe he was in the best condition. Thanks for the rare vid.

[lataille92]

the winterland live is amazing!!!!!!

[etrofla]

The Smothers Brothers show...I saw this when it was first broadcast...great memories

[TubeNumber1]

Yeah, this was definitely Cream's appearance on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour from about June 1968. Most excellent to see it pop up on YouTube!

[davidgbarron]

Thought it was from that. They have just showed a clip of it on the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. Showing on VH1 Classic in the UK.

[bonedeth411]

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is when they played the Glen Campbell show in 68'

[dbull29]

Danke mein Herr.

This track really shows off the fine haunting quality of Jack's voice, a very under rated singer. Just shows that being a great bass guitarist in a band with the world's best drummer and guitarist isn't necessarily a bed of roses.

[quik70silver]

i've never seen this video before and i thought i'd seen all the footage of cream live.

[HerrArendt]

=) thx

[janeythebrit]

Best frickin band EVER . Eric on geetar, Jack funking it away on that EB-3, and GING pounding on the drums...they kick arse.

Jack Buce was cute, eh ? (nice BUTT!!!)..frickin BRILLIANT singer...and he wrote this awesome song. Life's good !

[sgbr76]

Thanks!

[russ108]

thanks, I've been looking for this vid!

[simonesimone2]

jack's voice!!!

[Retrogradevids]

Thanks for posting this. Been about a year since this last got the boot. It was the summer replacement show for the Smothers Bros & yes Glen Campbell hosted these shows

[proferic]

This is from their Spring '68 U.S. tour. Looks like possibly the Smothers Brothers show.

[murreymaxx]

worth watching just for gingers drumming!!!!!

[tormentor91]

nice, but video info is wrong, it has to be 2005 not 2004

[HerrArendt]

right!

[ScotRanger1960]

Don't be so bloody stupid. it's from 1968.

[jlmpeace27]

grate video do you now what this is from

[OTISCHIEF]

Its from the Glenn Cambell show i think. Excellent FIVE STARS CREAM!!!!!
