@ToughSerb147 dude, i don't like rap or hip hop, but eminem has had a rough life full of drug addiction, death and distrust. i don't like his music, but i respect him as a person, which is what i do for eveyone, despite their taste in music. Also i'm wondering why you brought eminem in your comment in the first place, he has NOTHING to do with cream :')
OMFG , what a hell of a music in this video,i had an eargasm, whata mazing performance was made by those guys,everytime i listen this music i start singing along with it
Wow, the solo takes you right to the edge, dangles you over by the ankles and just when you think you're gonna fall, BOOM, they bring it right back to the groove and on with the song!!!
One of the amazing things about this is that there is no audience. I mean, this is what you'd expect a band to look like playing in front of 50,000 screaming fans. 50,000, 500,000, or 1 - it doesn't matter; these guys will rock the fucking roof off any time of any day with their souls alone.

dear theasz, please post at least some information from the video that would lead us to the source... wich is the year? place? ocasion?... and thanks for the amazing piece!
Hah, I just had a funny thought...Claptons SG was painted by a pair of dutch artists who called themselves 'The Fool', so the guitar was nicknamed 'The Fool'. Although he's no joker, this is Clapton playing 'The Fool'...that's too cool!
Like i said earlier FUCK-FACE i will NEVER learn a thing from you. I stand buy my original answer, Jack Bruce. You can keep this going as long as need be, you started it and i'll finish it. So if you want to be the Einstein you claim, grow up and stop acting like a child and quit responding to my posts !!!
@SneakyOstrich The instrument Jack Bruce is playing, IS IT NOT called a GUITAR ? Or maybe you might call it a MANDOLIN or maybe even a HARP!!! You FUCK-STICK ( OP ) he didn't ask if it was the LEAD guitar or the BASS guitar did he, GIVE YOUR FUCKED UP HEAD A SHAKE!!! Computer tough guy!!!
@davidson2004fatboy If he would have wanted to hear jack bruce he would have asked for the bass player. When someone says guitar they mean the guitar, not the bass guitar. Im glad you learnt something today.
@davidson2004fatboy Dont know what you mean with turkey, if you are referring to my name... an ostrich isnt the same thing. Just adding dumb names that doesn't relate to anything just makes you seem desperate. Point is though, jack bruce plays the bass, clapton plays guitar.
This is nearly as good as when I saw Cream in person back in 1969. EricClapton - great! Ginger Baker, excellent! But why is it that no one ever recognized Jack Bruce as having THE sexiest, most soulful and beautiful voice in rock and roll, even better than Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix, saw and loved all of them, and am loving Jack now-keep your Justin boys, we had real men- sixties lady
I have a VCD of this sometime ago but I lost it. I believe included in this film was all 3 members being interviewed in 1993, maybe that was the time during their induction into the hall of fame. Can anybody tell me what the title of this film? Or the date and location of this performance?
This had to come before the Live at the Fillmore Show, you can hear how they are working on the eventual fusion masterpiece that was recorded on Wheels of Fire. This is a process recording - they seem to be working out this song for a better showing later.
Saw them live many times in the 60's and they were always jawdroppin' awesome.
@levincestbon Yeah when it comes to rock drummers, it not just that Bonzo is the best, it's that he's so far beyond whomever is second it's almost absurd to discuss the matter.
@shadydamaja187 you cant really compare the 2, knowledge of the guitar is a gift and is different cause no-ones he same, especially these 2, plus in these day clapton was beast
the lucky one shares again , I saw the goodbye cream tour at the forum in LA , and deep purple with 1 album to their credit , shades of deep purple opening the show , then rockin blues bliss ..... the highlight was when the cream played both sides of the wheels of fire live !! they battled , each thinking they were the best in the world , and on that night , they were .......
Re: the "suck without cream" comment, I don't know about the relation cream might have to needles, but Clapton got the most votes for being god, until his guitar hands' wiring got sucked out by an acupuncturist. Anyone that grows poppy flowers and has a connection to an American cigarette factory, send him a carton of U.S.A. quality control FDA and Injun approved virgin filter cigarettes of dried poppy petals.
@VictorRechnageL Tbh i really wouldn't compare the two because both of them were similar yet different in their own ways as confusing as that may sound....... i don't get it though why everyone always jumps on clapton with the " now he is boring and this and that" or " Jimi kills Clapton" i mean isn't it about time we stop with those? i mean it isn't a competition after all its art something to appreciate not have a circle jerk over who is better.
Ok, I am such a huge Jack Bruce supporter and he was (in my opinion) the best part of this band. But come on guys, stop hating on Clapton. He was/is amazing. Listen to his work with the Yardbirds, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, this (Cream), and Blind Faith.Raw power and impossibility. His work with Derek and the Dominos and solo is slower and laid back because he reverted to his roots int he blues. He is proof that just because you can tear a guitar neck apart, it doesnt mean you have to.
Any players out there who were inspired by this song back in the day? Practicing with those HOT squelching amps with four fans going in some run down old house? Sometimes we could get to rehearse in a friends commercial garage because it could handle the amperage. 50 amp fuses in 20 amp circuits don't last long. Stupid.
Interesting discussion here Hendrix versus Clapton. I remember hearing John Mayall and the Bluesbreaker way back in the '60's and thinking, OMG can those sounds come from a guitar. Over the next few years I bought all the Cream albums as they became available - they were just truly out of this world. "Clapton was God" was all over London, and reported in the papers in NZ. Then I heard this other guitarist at a party, Jimi somebody, and it didn't even sound like he was playing a guitar!
@PatentApplied - yes - I remember Clapton saying, " ... after he saw and heard Hendrix jamming he contacted Pete Townshend to see how they could combat "his" presence ...." - something along those lines anyway!
I don't know if you guys noticed something about eric claptons playing. But at 3:38 - 3:48 he makes this same sound just like Jimi hendrix with just one hand on the neck of the guitar. If you watch some live performances of jimi you can see he him doing this same thing in his playing sometimes
My point is I makes me think that maybe they picked up some little things from there playing.
back-to-back weekends @ the Fillmore Auditorium about 1967 I think and they weren't even first bill either, opening up for Paul Butterfield's Blues Band first and Michael Bloomfield's new band The Electric Flag next and I wasn't all that hip at the time but saw the raw power and vitality of what rock n roll was and still can't believe Ginger Baker is still alive---LOVE those guys so much! raymind1313@gmail.com
Jack Bruce was brilliant, but people on Cream videos don't give Clapton enough credit. As if he was crap without Cream. Clapton was amazing, with or without cream. Go check out Derek & the Dominos, or a lot of his solo stuff. Plus, Cream was by NO means a Jack Bruce solo band.
To all of you "Jack Offs" commenting on this practice/sound check which took place some 40 years ago, it is hilarious to someone who was there to read some of these comments. Somewhere in time this took place "today". Sometime during any day, like today, It is f___ing great to be alive!
what a buch of crap ocrap.Spoonful meaning the bs drugs of choice. Choise wisley my bros an sisters r u wanting to give testimony to the meaning of life thru drug induced most of the time of rock stars???
@GreggDuncanMcLean1 dude shut the fuck up, you think your all high and mighty sitting there at your keyboard glittering the generality that sobriety is sooo amazing and that you are placed higher in society than anyone whos ever done drugs. until youve tried it you know not of which you speak. sure they wrote a song about their drug of choice but im sure its way better than anything you could ever hope to accomplish ever
@Thegrungeguitar333 dude ive more done drugs in my life from acid, myscaline, canbinol, coke, shot speed thru needles into my body so plz dont give my any of your lip about not knowing from which I speak. all those drugs thru 25 years of my life, which btw is more than you are old never did anything but bring heartache, pain. and destruction so grow up young man and maybe think before you speak again
Possibly the best version of anything I have ever heard. Before Cream nobody played like this.

Jack Bruce was brilliant, but people on Cream videos don't give Clapton enough credit. As if he was crap without Cream. Clapton was amazing, with or without cream. Go check out Derek & the Dominos, or a lot of his solo stuff. Plus, Cream was by NO means a Jack Bruce solo band.

@SirPwn4lot While I do agree with you, Jack Bruce surely was the mastermind & creative force behind this band.

To all of you "Jack Offs" commenting on this practice/sound check which took place some 40 years ago, it is hilarious to someone who was there to read some of these comments. Somewhere in time this took place "today". Sometime during any day, like today, It is f___ing great to be alive!

@GreggDuncanMcLean1 ???? The song has a pedigree and is about sex, not drugs!
Could fill spoons full of diamonds,
Could fill spoons full of gold.
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul.
Men lies about it.
Some of them cries about it.
Some of them dies about it.
Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonfull.

@GreggDuncanMcLean1 dude shut the fuck up, you think your all high and mighty sitting there at your keyboard glittering the generality that sobriety is sooo amazing and that you are placed higher in society than anyone whos ever done drugs. until youve tried it you know not of which you speak. sure they wrote a song about their drug of choice but im sure its way better than anything you could ever hope to accomplish ever

@Thegrungeguitar333 dude ive more done drugs in my life from acid, myscaline, canbinol, coke, shot speed thru needles into my body so plz dont give my any of your lip about not knowing from which I speak. all those drugs thru 25 years of my life, which btw is more than you are old never did anything but bring heartache, pain. and destruction so grow up young man and maybe think before you speak again

@Thegrungeguitar333 First of all, this song isn't about a drug of choice. Second of all, Cream didn't write it. It's an old Howlin Wolf song.
