This riff is the definition of badass

Jack Bruce is quite possibly the best Rock vocalist ever, as well as a Bass Virtuoso.

This is the real deal people. I bought this album when it came out, and it blew me away, changed my life.

great!

I listened the other versions, but this is the best, because the guitar scales are superb, maybe Clapton was in a "twilight zone", he doesn't need faster runnings to build rock blues. He gained his moniker "Slowhand"

@gbh001 yo dude, regarding nothing in blues rock has come close to cream live,that maybe the case they really were great,but checkout the stairs "skin up",im a bit young to of seen them live but if they got anywere near to the studio version they surely would of challenged cream for the title!

Come on, man. You'd never get both Republicans and Democrats to boycott an election. It would be mostly one party or another, and if that happened then you'd get one party saying 'well, obviously the _____ don't have enough faith in their candidate, so ours is the right choice'.

Nothing will change until Republicans and Democrats drop their labels.

Dig it.

Clapton's solo in this is extraordinary. I've listened to it on and off over the years since I bought the original album and it still mesmerizes. Its not that flashy and has little in the way of pyrotechnics but it has a smooth inevitability to it. Every note just follows on in some perfect way.. To me its the esssence of blues solo guitar. But only Clapton could have come up with it - live in '68. Nothing in blues-rock has since come close to Cream live.
