Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love (Farewell Concert - Extended Edition) (1 of 11)

[aceblazer25]

This director seems to have a really huge fascination for Jack's face.

[MrSnapy1]

Jack Bruce sucked live singing not sure why but he sounded better in the studio.He changed his tone and pitch could still shred that base tho!.

[wetlettuce92]

@MrSnapy1

He had to shout so that he can get through to the audience

[TheHimawarijapan]

やっぱ、クラプトンはクリーム時代がベストやねん。

神！

sorry in Japanese!

[olddudeaustin]

Clapton, Hendrix, Beck, Page and the list goes on. Comparison is just apples and oranges - they were all great. Just enjoy the music.

[godofmetalmm]

@MagicalSix yes jimi hendrix was a better showman and a good guitarist but clapton is god of guitar n better than jimi

[MagicalSix]

@godofmetalmm hell no. You are so wrong about that. Lol. You obviously have no idea that Jimi played circles around clapton, even when he jammed with cream, he made clapton feel like a novice guitar player, which he is compared to Hendrix. No one ever has or ever will compare to Jimi Hendrix. People can do what Cream did, but no one can do what Jimi did. Why? Because he was/is the greatest guitarist EVER.

[Elgin22Baylor]

@MagicalSix I agree that Hendrix was the better overall player, but to call Eric Clapton a novice in comparison is hyperbole. Jimi's lead playing was spectacular at its best, but he had a bad habit of straying away from the melody. There were times when Jimi was literally just making noise, and you have no clue what the hell he was trying to do (and he probably didn't know either). That's not a problem that Clapton has ever had.

[Elgin22Baylor]

@MagicalSix While Jimi is the more influential and more original, I'd also say that Stevie Ray Vaughn (in his sadly abbreviated career) was a more skilled player. He had the same manic playing style as Hendrix, but had superior phrasing and control (like Clapton). When Stevie Ray played lead, he literally never ran out of places to go.

[MrAlcull]

I was at the first concert this day...up in the gods..it was the third time I saw them.

[bigboy1010101able]

stain glass window designer what the hell

[IZQ2012]

This is simply ROCK and not BULLSHIT!

[lafleurdumal76]

the cream of the cream:-)..CREAM..



[5thhokage113]

Ginger....Cracka Be Trippin

[TheSickness14]

There was headbanging in 1968???

[bluescruiser]

@TheSickness14 There was headbanging, crowdsurfing, snakepits, whatever you can bring up, ever since the day R&R was born. Nothing new under the sun, really!

[TheSickness14]

@bluescruiser by R&R you mean....

[1950boots]

Music as it should be played! LIVE!

[GurkoKurdo]

first headbanger 1:39

[drockkclapton]

@GurkoKurdo I have thought that since the first time I saw this 12 years ago. haha

[felipefelipunk]

1:40 the first headbangers in history!

[coldKYLEfly123]

That one dude pioneered the head bang.

[LIVE2ROCK2011]

THE CREAM !!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChynaRider]

Cameramen and director clearly were not musicians. I'd have shot their hands and fretboards and screw the rock faces. School's in pay attention.

[drockkclapton]

I always get pissed off when the narrator says, "They may not be the greatest musicians..." That should be followed by "...but they probably are."

[jax1moi8]

@drockkclapton Well, I don't think he was the greatest narrator reading the best-written copy, either.

[BOOGIESTARSEVEN]

That dude in the front row definitely took more acid than anybody else.

[GeileMickey]

lol, ginger is high as fuck!!!

really, here you have three guys, masters of their instruments and i still can not believe how it is possible that they make so much beatifull and loud noise, for they are only with three. cream maybe one of the best bands ever, really.

[MasterFeelgood]

And Finally...from their Prime...& why I love it/them to this day...

[knightlove1000]

Ginger's drumis just like a crusch of tunderr!!

[EMALAZDRA]

in a time where musicianship counted above all these guys were among the best. the claption leagend bagan here. bands like this are are much harder to find now

[beerTiAmo]

Clapton wearing Levi's jeans ... those were the days ... simple ... this band is too good to exist today!

[ToughSerb147]

my heart rate killed me, i died, watch the news cuz this song rocked me out dude

[skeptyky]

damned!! CLAPTON/BAKER/BRUCE THE BEAUTIFUL SIXTIES !!!! very gooddddddddddddd !!!

[1Raske]

Drugssssssss. Wonder if Bruce knew what planet he was on..Loved it.

[steve58502]

What a performance!! Have not seen this before-Awesome!!!

[teddysalad65]

1:05..."they might not have been the greatest musicians....of the age"

________________________

FUCK YOU Mr Announcer, they were all considered amongst the greatest musicians of their age!....and of all time! Don't make them out to be scrappy garage band!

[MrDavearama]

@teddysalad65 - you're a fucking idiot, go away shit stain

[steptb2]

@teddysalad65 yeah that's pretty absurd, since in '68 they were surely considered three of the best musicians in the rock department by almost everyone. I guess the authors of the intro still represented the "old guard", more into vocal harmonies, orchestral arrangements, moody blues, the beatles, etc.

[skeptyky]

CLAPTON/BRUCE /BAKER/ NUMBER ONE SIXTIES !!!!

[triptolemoBlues]

@skeptyky numbers ones ever!!!!!

[antejutronic]

These dudes were supposed to be in their 20s, but they look like in their 40s - Fucking drugs really age you.... Anyway, they kick ass forever!

[toughserb145]

@antejutronic shut up

[toughserb145]

IGFIJOGGKHHFIHGGIJJHDFJIGGJNMI­GRNGIGI MY MIND IS FUKING POPING OUT. DFUGBFDIOUGBRDIGBDFNIGBNDFIUNF­DIUDNFGF. I LOVE CREAM!

[fishybishbash]

Killer, killer. Ginger Baker supremely good here

[sharksdelight]

Both Mitch Mitchell from the Hendrix Experience and Keith Moon from Who used double bass drums. Saw all 3 groups a great many times at the Filmore East and other places.

[MrErikNorthman]

I absolutely LOVED Cream - I think they were way ahead of their time... Ginger Baker is one of the 1st percussionists I remember using a Double Kick Bass set up... and I believe they were all pretty phenominal in their own right... and to this day, they are still the stuff of Legend, and highly celebrated even among their musical peers...

[cubsfands29]

love the song but what the fuck jack bruce 5:16

[Varpzor]

@cubsfands29 these guys are high and they are rockin so whats your problem

[cubsfands29]

@Varpzor jacks voice super cracked. i love cream i dont have a problem

[hardkace42]

nice with the snow coming down might give eric idea's

[makky123]

Clapton is 23 here.... wow

[sharksdelight]

The narrator probably never heard a single song by Cream. He was just reading a script.

[Ninjapenguin89]

@sharksdelight That is what narrators tend to do...

[pinkdarkechoes]

Did the narrator say 'Not the greatest musicians?'...asshat.

[MagicalSix]

@pinkdarkechoes they definitely aren't the greatest musicians. Ever heard of Jimi Hendrix? Yeah.

[Grendelmonster8u]

In such a short time they created such memorable music. Jack Bruce was a great bassist & writer. What a trio of musicians! Too bad Jack & Ginger fought with eachother so much.

No lights, no screens, just pure great rock music. I'm so with these people 1:36 in the front.

[VeytoBorpha]

Abraham Lincoln as Ginger Baker playing the drums...

[123torrent]

I want a shot of whatever that headbanging guy ingested.

[BevofLOL101]

What’s a way to butcher a great band hmm let me think with the worst filming, editing and sound engineering on the planet yet who does the director blame the recording equipment of the time that’s just bullshit and false it comes down to him. Most of this bootleg sound has been dubbed in after this concert

[MUFC127]

Looks like thye Zion party scene in The Matrix.

[ARNOL243]

Clapton is god.

[fuckujack]

the greatness of rock in its sense. cant say more. thank you for the pleasure

[3434arc1]

Awesome. My favorite music has always been Cream and the first few years of Zep.

[disda1n]

He was 23...Damn

[1Doz]

@disda1n

Amazing how musically mature these guys were in their early and mid 20s.  How is it Clapton could have absorbed American blues and then reinterpreted it into rock after less than a decade of playing guitar (assuming he started as a teenager)?

[seanfoe]

The Cream. lol

[2HonestIam]

Check out Cuda Blues Jam doing this and other Cream numbers,I have to say though I'm a massive Cream fan,they are better live than Cream.Saw them at the Tenby Blues festival last weekend,and were the best band there by a mile.They would trounce anything at Glastonbury.

[pageyzoso84]

You have to love the documentary announcers coments at the time, in '68..."they may not be the greatest musicians" blah blah....the Betles were certailnly the generations greatest songriters and lyricists....but Cream were the finest virtuoso musicians on the planet outside of classical music.

[oakforestboys]

I belong with these ppl

[ptel74]

where r the hiphop monkeys? They have no chance in front of this.I wish i was born in 1950

[darbygrey]

Kickin' some serious ass here..............

[getback9691]

I would hardly say that two years prior to this, Ginger Baker was Jack's favorite or vice versa.

[99danfer]

Clapton is GOD, thanks for the video!

[moonlightsea8]

From the essence of little people come the message of the Gods!!!

[fineart10]

No words..... simply Amazing... this is real ROCK.... kids you can learn the real escence of the Rock

[evelynagudo]

@fineart10 You're Incredible!

[fineart10]

@evelynagudo Tks my friend

[nickeynork]

@fineart10 there is no rock no more

[mrnailz360]

@nickeynork Rock isn't dead, it's just sleeping. There will be a return.

[SalDag]

This is God on drugs.

[SecretTimeWarp]

Damn - Clapton looks a LOT like 1968 George Harrison here, doesn't he??

[caincolesr]

@SecretTimeWarp I know he was in love with Harrisons wife and even had an affair with her and wrote A song about her called Layla.

[martin2sax]

@SecretTimeWarp They were best friends, so... Well yes, your right and my argument is invalid

[WhiteCamry]

@SecretTimeWarp

He was hoping Patti wouldn't notice the difference.

;^)

[Dunkleosteus9]

Can't hear the bass

[thephenomenalboy]

1 Fucking Asshole xD

[MrWiltse]

they all looked drugged out lol, awesome!

[donneric]

damn ow often you get to see Eric at his blues kid prime

[Evertale1]

Zero dislikes? No shit :D

[brobdj]

Thank you so very much for uploading this piece of musical history and documentation!!! In 1968, 43 years ago, most of us saw this concert on our TV sets in black & white!! It's the first time I've seen this in colour. The comment below lacks knowledge about the times this was filmed.

[Juviex]

yeaahh The audio is a turgid sonic sludge. The visuals are even worse, with director Tony Palmer jerking the camera around as if this were an episode of NYPD Blue, layering the picture with dated and distracting psychedelic light effects, and providing far too many close-ups of Bruce's teeth (and almost no wide shots of the entire band).

[g0ldbuG]

@Juviex dude they did the same lame hippy effects for jimi's rah show like firework effects during his solo wtf just show the band

[SecretTimeWarp]

@MattHatter Did they ever say who the crazy front-row asshole was, anyway??

[democratusnostradams]

OMG!!!!

thank you soo much for posting this!!!

[39269430]

Exelente Video!!!!!!!!!  Cream!!!
