When we saw Kofi's Cream show in Brisbane Australia in 2017, they opened with "Strange Brew" which, while competently played, didn't really wow the audience. But the next song was "Deserted Cities of the Heart" . . and the guys jammed it out every bit as good as their fathers ever did, and everyone in the concert hall gave them a standing ovation!! It was out of this world good!!! After that they could've played Happy Birthday and we would've clapped. What an awesome concert! 🙂
Cream is the trunk of the tree that has Zepplin, Sabbath, Tull, Etc. as it's branches. The Beatles are the soil the trunk grew in. The Blues/jazz were the fertilizer. I'd love to jam w/ Kofi.
Speaking (typing) as a guitarist I would've definitely included Sleepy Time Time from Live Cream Vol.1 because it contains the best ever slow Blues guitar solos recorded during the 1960s. I know every time someone, usually the toe rag Rolling Stone magazine, publishes a "definitive" Top 20, 30, 40, etc list of the best of whatever, there are always people lining up around the block to criticise it.
WoF is THE perfect record in my opinion. Plus the live disc, it may not be the most "interesting" live Cream numbers, but the ideia of it being the double album as it is, and having that version Toad in it. It's just definitive 🤷🏻♂️
I just got into Cream pretty recently, and I gotta thank you for making this! I hadn’t realized just how good this band was until listening to a couple of these tracks beyond the songs that are mostly beyond the radio singles!
Been listening to and playing Cream over 53 years (Wow that long!?). Huge influence in my guitar playing. My band played lots of Cream...fun. I like much of your list...
Always good to hear Cream appreciated! Great to hear Kofi’s comments too :) The bridge on Badge was actually written and played by Eric Clapton, not George Harrison. Eric misread the word which became the title.
I love this band i have a feeling kind of like the Grateful Dead or The Moody Blues I have this feeling when they first came out they were followed around a lot like those bands were

This is the professional type of music reviews that are almost impossible to find. Almost all of them are some random fan who's reviews, or lists consist of killer tune bro , and I don't like that song etc. Never describing what the music actually sounds like, or what it is that they don't like about the music.
talk about three musicians who'd mastered their respective instruments by the time they'd brought cream into existence. collectively I don't there was anything close to its sound. felix pappalardi isn't credited enough for being able to document their work as faithfully as he did.
You’re a great musician and I love your insight. Blue Condition is worth noting, and I think that the studio versions of I’m So Glad, We’re Going Wrong, and Tales of Brave Ulysses are superior to the live versions; they’re concise, and the songs are strong enough to convey themselves in that limited way. Also-Ginger played with the great band, Masters of Reality, on their Sunrise on the Sufferbus record, on which he expounded re:tea, on the tune, TUSA. JT-if you haven’t listened to the Masters-do it now! They’re right up your alley. Also-check out, Early in the Morning, Stormy Monday Blues, and The First Time I Met the Blues, from the record with Graham Bond. It’s freakin’ stellar, and Jack’s harp playing is great.
@@timhuff5624 Definitely possible, I'm looking more to do a more classic album vs album, Beatles vs Stones, Zeppelin vs Sabbath, something like that before going back to the 90s.
There was no last poll, aside from The Doors, though Cream did come in close on a poll. Since Kofi and I had done the show I asked him about possibly doing this vid and he kindly accepted. I guess I... kinda did one on Pink Floyd? I’ve got big plans for Floyd this year. Cream is very prog in many ways though, definitely a prototype for what was to come.
That "stop listening to computer music and listen to real musc" statement from Kofi us so cringe to me. I don't understand why old school artists and their fans feel the need to constantly make snide remarks about modern artists using computer software to make music. I don't think I ever hear modern artists shit on oldies artists for using instruments, which makes these types of remarks even more petty.
I dunno, I shit on computer software music all the time (even if I use it to a certain extent). As I've said before, electronic music can be done in a creative way, but not the way record companies are copying and pasting them like an assembly line.
I think Bret is right and that Kofi just wants to keep the legacy of his father and his music alive. And I can't blame him. Cream had a lot of kickass stuff. But as someone that does make electronic/computer music, I do agree that it shouldn't be treated as not "real" music. The appeal of electronic music for me is making sounds that can't be made through normal instruments, as well as working with limitations. That's why chiptune is so great to me, as the composers00 are doing what they can to squeeze every bit of sound out of the limited hardware they're using. Record companies are gonna be record companies, and I don't like the idea of using computers to "fix" or "replace" real music (autotune, drum loops, that sorta stuff). Still, I think both can and should be able to coexist, as I love both for different reasons.

The cream is so awesome despite Eric Clapton's issues he's still a guitar-playing legend.

Cream has always been my favorite band, ever since I was 14.
It’s probably a coincidence but as soon as you uploaded this video a fire started in my school
Yikes! Everyone okay?
That sucks hope everyone okay
Dude what?
One of my first albums was Fresh Cream, their first, when I was about 9 years old. Must have listened to it 500 times.
Cream is the trunk of the tree that has Zepplin, Sabbath, Tull, Etc. as it's branches. The Beatles are the soil the trunk grew in. The Blues/jazz were the fertilizer.
I'd love to jam w/ Kofi.

That's a great one too, was definitely considered.
An honourable mention for the live album would be sitting on top of the world , I’ve always liked that one 🎸🥁🎵👍
Was definitely considered
I just got a wa peddle witch was one of Eric’s favorite effects and he use’s it so well in white it’s ridiculous how good that solo is

As a casual fan of Cream, I love this list! Tkx for you and Kofi.
My favorite song - easy, White Room.

The bridge on Badge was actually written and played by Eric Clapton, not George Harrison. Eric misread the word which became the title.
I have been waiting for this for a long time
Thank you for including Dance the night away. :)
Always a great production on your video. Love it.
I loved this! It's so cool to hear other musicians' perspectives on Cream's music. Especially from Kofi!
I love this band i have a feeling kind of like the Grateful Dead or The Moody Blues I have this feeling when they first came out they were followed around a lot like those bands were
I hope you do The Kinks playlist soon
They’re definitely on my to-do list...

I found 1 video of I feel free live in Paris and whilst not as good as the original, it’s still a very good version
Love you're videos
My personal favorite Clapton song is Teasin'
Hey JT would you ever do a playlist on Frank Zappa/The Mothers Of Invention?
I think Nick Patrella will be very happy to see this suggestion...
Would you consider doing a Deep Purple playlist?
Definitely!

How would you feel about doing a beach boys or queen playlist
They’re both on the to-do list for sure. To be honest, I was expecting (and prepping) for Queen to win the last poll but The Doors came around to win.
@@JTCurtisMusic I’ve tried to make queen playlist before but there so diverse that’s it’s hard
@@JPproductions303 it’ll certainly be a challenge.
You’re a great musician and I love your insight.

You should compare dirt by Alice In Chains to superinone by soundgarden
When ya gonna do more of those album vs album videos?
Which album vs album would you want me to do?
@@JTCurtisMusic Like another 90s one. Like maybe Siamese dream vs Dirt? Idk I'd like to see one with smashing pumpkins.
@@timhuff5624 Definitely possible, I'm looking more to do a more classic album vs album, Beatles vs Stones, Zeppelin vs Sabbath, something like that before going back to the 90s.
@@JTCurtisMusic Led zeppelin 4 vs Paranoid would be great then
I’m curious to know who was on the last poll (that Cream won). Hopefully, you get to a prog artist soon.
There was no last poll, aside from The Doors, though Cream did come in close on a poll. Since Kofi and I had done the show I asked him about possibly doing this vid and he kindly accepted.

Queen do Them
The BEST version of Born Under a Bad Sign was Homer Simpon's Version
Creamy
JT kind of looks like Kip Winger, some other people must have noticed the resemblance
❤👍
Never cared for White Room or Badge

Don't take it personally, he's just proud of his dad's work and the era which it came from and probably just wants to share it with more people
@@JTCurtisMusic ) that's just stupid
Agree with the OC.
