  • I'm so glad I still have the album and the cd. Saw them @ MSG in NYC on their Farewell Tour. This is my favorite Cream song as well.

  • For instance: Listen to the end of Politician of the Oakaland Coliseum Arena recording (1968-10-04). (this is on the live CDs and on the Those were the days boxset. (can't seem to find it on youtube)

  • The kerfuffle thing is a intenet myth. He says "on vocal" - Listen to the other recordings of this and other concerts (bootlegs, many are on youtube). They often said this at the end about eachother (bruce and clapton)

  • Yes, he does say kerfuffle. But I don't think he made a kerfuffle of it at all as this is the best version by a mile. Makes me proud to be an Englishman. Bless

  • @metart93 Listen very carefully. Nobody would have to tell the audience that Clapton was singing, and besides, the highlight of the song was certainly not the vocals. I always thought Bruce said, "Eric Clapton please", then Clapton said twice "Thank you." But the more I read about why Clapton never liked this version, the more sense it made that he was saying "kerfuffle"-a sort of apology to the band. Remember that Clapton always prided himself on his disciplined approach to the blues.

  • @Walkingshadow1 i think you heard wrong, jack sais: "Eric Clapton please, on vocals"

  • A tour-de-force if ever there was one. Clapton never liked this version much, because he got ahead of himself, and Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker had to play catch-up. That's why he says at the end, "Thank you......[then, probably turning to Bruce and Baker]....kerfuffle." The latter is Brit slang meaning "chaos." To me, this is classic Cream: so much momentum and power they could hardly control it, and sometimes they couldn't. Structurally, this is pure brilliance--the finest solo ever recorded.

  • What the hell no comments? This is my favorite Cream song.
