Filton Kingswood I guess that's why Santana said when he saw them at Winterland: That they looked an sounded like Giants. Eric fucking Clapton, Jack motherfucking Bruce an Ginger, I'm a fucking madman Baker. Only the true greats get the title of "fucking" in their name.
Clapton became the heaviest in the world on those first licks of Steppin Out from the beano album, Les Paul cranked to the max through a Marshall Bluesbreaker amp, there is no substitute.
Without a doubt, this time period is Clapton's best playing. They just played and played. It seems like the fire permanently went out with heroine and strats. This is just amazing. It teeters on the edge of disorganization but stays together with amazing results. I don't think two versions of this song were ever the same.
As a 23 year old, This has been one of my favourite songs of all time since I was about 14 or 15. IJust think it's fantasic on all levels. The lyrics, the progression of tempo & the bass riff are imense!
Cream never played anything the same way twice live. They popularized jazz-like improv which led many subsequent rock artists to jam things out live too, eg: Hendrix …and really many, many late 60s and 70s rockers, except the horn bands which mostly had to stick to the script. The first time I saw a (non-horn) band of that general era play songs note for note was the original Santana. Ironically Carlos had a stage schtick of gazing skyward as if looking for divine inspiration for his solos …while playing them note for note from the studio recordings. Fortunately the studio recordings had catchy solos.
In my humble opinion... The live "Crossroads" performance at Winterland is quite possibly the best live rock song by a three member group in the history of rock. While Jack struggles a bit to keep up with Eric in one spot, this is perfection. Thank you Ginger for pulling the boys together.
It wasn't Winterland! It was The Fillmore West at The Carousel Ballroom!!! Bill Graham leased The Carousel Ballroom and named it The Fillmore West to go with The Fillmore East in New York. Winterland served as an ice skating rink at one time and it was HUGE. It was demolished.
@@peterrobin1881 imo in the Fillmore version he actually does sound like he struggles to keep up with eric in the start of the 2nd solo but that flaw somehow makes it sound better. Crazy how he could even make even a mistake sound so good
you got that right! Ginger Baker is the real 'Hammer of the Gods'! - if you want to hear some more reasons why for so many of us Cream occupy the pinnacle, be sure and check out the complete October 19 Los Angeles (with the astounding live version of "I'm So Glad" that's on the 'Goodbye' album), October 20 San Diego, and October 26 Royal Albert Hall shows from their 1968 farewell tour (all available on RUclips), along with the two 'Live Cream' albums - EPIC PERFORMANCES
I love how no one is arguing on this video,we all enjoy Cream. Also alot of us are Guitar Pheins so we can all talk about Claptons guitar changes over the Cream years without fighting.
@@JdoubleU1222 they officially released this concert, it’s at this speed too so I’m wondering if it’s correct or they were just lazy to correct the speed.
Really great recording quality. Ginger Baker cracks me up...what a beast! My brother went to this show I believe...came home talking about the drum rolls with his feet.
love all insightful comments I was boy scout at Jamboree and radio song was born under bad sign so long time fan this version I can agree it was Baker's band...wow
The "Wheels of Fire" version is indeed live and not edited. But it was not recorded in Winterland as stated on the album jacket. It's on Wolfgang's Vault as well and the proper location is given, I forget where. Well, I'm going to go play my $100 superfine guitar now.
If anyone is interested. Pete Brown from Cream is playing at a club in Camdon with 2other band for a St Patrick's Blues night!! march 17th...Not to be missed!!
Of course Clapton doesn't have the fire of his youth he's approaching his 70,s ffs. Still he tours the world and works hard to bring his music to the masses. I saw him in April in Scotland and he was fantastic.
I saw cream perform in 1968 and again on there reunion tour of 2005 and it was all good but I do wish e.c. would perform with this intensity again. If anyone reading this wants to view something really great type in Jeff Beck talks about his guitars its great he has so many and takes you through most of them now he has become so great at what he does.
Ginger B is godlike here. The way he keeps shifting the accents around - - it's almost like he's creating an odd time signature under the regular one played by the other two.
saw it and decided to see him live in Cleveland, this past June..Even though he was recovering from a nasty bout of Pneumonia and had to be helped off stage ..the man the master delivered..
@bolendoc u said it dude. these live recordings are gold mines. and i've been blown away on how much BETTER and LOUDER some bands sound live than in the studio.
I read once of the amount of these shows were simply deleted. It says a lot for the respect shown towards these artists - the people concerned still seemed to believe that this was some type of flash-in-the-pan that would have no future interest or value. Their loss as well as ours.
i'm 23 years old and all i listen to is this stuff. i was born in the wrong era for my music taste. wish they made music like this these days.music today just stinks. wish i was alive when the good stuff was being recorded.
Cream made it a hit to the young generation at the time, but it was a well known song and pretty big. If you talk to blues fans from the 30's, 40's and 50's they all know about Robert. Cream didn't put it on the map, just tweaked it and made it a hit for that young 60's Generation.
Some of the best music ever produced is Delta blues done by English groups. Robert Johnson cover here with Crossroads, Zeppelin did quite a few as did many others. Many Delta Blues songs never were copywrited having guitarists more or less do someone else's work with their own interpretation. Elmore James, Robert Johnson, a few more, had their work published, others just played.
Except for the words and that it's 12 bar, it's a different song, different feel. It can get confusing when someone says, "let's play Crossroad Blues". I get that Clapton studied the delta players hard, but I can't hear any delta in this. Good, but almost completely different song (eg to play)
@stans06. I was there in August of '67 at he Fillmore and again a week later when they came back. Completely awesome the likes of which we will never see again. I've seen em all but these concerts were the best ever.
"Crossroads" - and the Balkan has deffinitely been - a very important European Crossroad! This music is more essential, than any (other) geo-political division could ever Be! Thanks for CREAM
Ginger Baker is the real 'Hammer of the Gods'! - if you want to hear some more reasons why for so many of us Cream occupy the pinnacle, be sure and check out the complete October 19 Los Angeles (with the astounding live version of "I'm So Glad" that's on the 'Goodbye' album), October 20 San Diego, and October 26 Royal Albert Hall shows from their 1968 farewell tour (all available on RUclips), along with the two 'Live Cream' albums - EPIC PERFORMANCES
Cinnamon Bang raises a very interesting point on questioning why the Winterland version of Crossroads is so superior to others. Tho only answer can be is that every musician has their moments when everything comes together. Some are even lucky enough to have that golden moment recorded. On that particular night so long ago Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker came together as never before.The cohesion is extraordinary. An incredible rush of inspiration and talent. What a night it must have been!🎸🎵
Man, I totally understand... I'm slightly younger; I'm 20 and I wish I could've lived through the 60s, 70s and the 80s... Back then there was Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC, Jeff Beck, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd... So much more I could name!
@bamboosa Actually, the "Wheels of Fire" version WAS edited, as there was a lot more "jamming" in the full version. It was edited for the purpose of "time allotted" for the songs on the album.
As far as I'm aware, the only time Clapton used a Gibson ES-335 live with Cream was for the second farewell concert at the RAH on 26 Nov '68. There are plenty of photos of Clapton playing various Les Pauls (Standards & Customs), a Gibson SG and a Gibson Firebird I on various US & UK tours. However, I've never seen any photos of EC playing a 335 whilst with Cream apart from the RAH show. He's clearly playing the Firebird on this song.
My band members will agree with you, but I like the newer versions. They fit better with the modern styles of music. I feel like if we play this version, as we are planning to do, I need to wear my flowered bell bottoms and put a flower in my hair! And be stoned on whatever he was stoned on when they did this! haha
every live performance of this song is a fucking ride and a half! they always go full tit when playing this song, it feels like its all going to crash and burn at any minute but they hold on for dear life as they pass onto rock greatness during that second solo! respect to clapton and the gang, bruce honestly fucking nailed the bass on this. what an important song thanks
@tatethompson1234 He used at least two other Les Paul before he got his Fool painted SG. At Cream's premeir, The 1966 Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival, he borrowed Keith Richard's Les Paul (with a Bigsby vibrato) and for a while after that he borrowed Andy Summer's Les Paul and after much persueding, Andy eventually sold it to him. During Cream's Farewell Tour of the US, there are pictures of Eric playing a Les Paul at The LA Forum.
What Freedom Means I want to know What every body knows but me I want to know what freedom means I want to ride sally ride Deep into the dark of night And blast out free on the other side. M.S. Morrison
If this was at the Inglewood forum, there's a 50/50 chance I was there when this was recorded. They played two nights with Deep Purple Oct 18-19, 1968. It was a great concert. Jack is still playing live. Shook hands and got a pic with him in January this year. He's not very tall. Probably why he was playing the short-scale SG bass.
He transcendesized (new word?), every musical form within the guitar world. For this reason, when people talk about Hendrix, Clapton's name (in respect of the mastery they both possessed and controlled over the instrument while simultaneously making it appear magical), inevitably, must always be mentioned in the same conversation as a blues rock innovator. This is why they always are, and always will be, voted by the international community, as 1 and 2.
People talkin about how we didn't have the stuff we have now. 99 times out of a 100 the band would just be miming the recorded version on television. . I'd love it when it came out live.
@spercoco You're right, you're so much cooler than me. Thanks for naming off my favorite drummers as well, that's nice. I've only been drumming about a year, (as you can see from my page) and I'm still perfectly content with rocking White Room and sunshine of your love. Thanks for your nurturing support, it's always appreciated. Btw, nice superiority complex bro. I bet all the guys you play with love it when you tell them about how their shit sucks and they need to play better.
@tatethompson1234 To me it sounds like an LP, especially towards the end. It's got a heavy treble to it. Sounds like whatever he's playing he has it on the bridge pickup. I'm thinkin its an LP but the bit of feedback I hear suggests 335.
That is Ginger! Once described as playing "...around, over and even against the beat, but never on it." heee hee And that was meant as a gigantic compliment.
yeh Ginger was really awsome-originally a jazz drummer-----didnt know Eric played gibson in those days---Cream was the only real blues rock band at the time---thats what made their sound so unique. Such a pleasure to watch Cream again
Jimi Hendrix said at the time 'Cream are the heaviest band in the world' ..... Fuckin 'A' Jimi.
Filton Kingswood I guess that's why Santana said when he saw them at Winterland: That they looked an sounded like Giants. Eric fucking Clapton, Jack motherfucking Bruce an Ginger, I'm a fucking madman Baker. Only the true greats get the title of "fucking" in their name.
Clapton became the heaviest in the world on those first licks of Steppin Out from the beano album, Les Paul cranked to the max through a Marshall Bluesbreaker amp, there is no substitute.
Without a doubt, this time period is Clapton's best playing. They just played and played. It seems like the fire permanently went out with heroine and strats. This is just amazing. It teeters on the edge of disorganization but stays together with amazing results. I don't think two versions of this song were ever the same.
As a 23 year old, This has been one of my favourite songs of all time since I was about 14 or 15. IJust think it's fantasic on all levels. The lyrics, the progression of tempo & the bass riff are imense!
Does it feel the same at 35?
@@Woody10719 if anything, it feels even better! 😂 😂
The thing that amazes me about Clapton in this period is that he varied the solo every time. And, yes, he's fast.
Cream never played anything the same way twice live. They popularized jazz-like improv which led many subsequent rock artists to jam things out live too, eg: Hendrix …and really many, many late 60s and 70s rockers, except the horn bands which mostly had to stick to the script.
The first time I saw a (non-horn) band of that general era play songs note for note was the original Santana. Ironically Carlos had a stage schtick of gazing skyward as if looking for divine inspiration for his solos …while playing them note for note from the studio recordings. Fortunately the studio recordings had catchy solos.
Came here to say the dame thing about the solo!
I am over ten billions years old and I approve of this music.
In my humble opinion... The live "Crossroads" performance at Winterland is quite possibly the best live rock song by a three member group in the history of rock. While Jack struggles a bit to keep up with Eric in one spot, this is perfection. Thank you Ginger for pulling the boys together.
Winterland everything is the best.
I agree
It wasn't Winterland! It was The Fillmore West at The Carousel Ballroom!!! Bill Graham leased The Carousel Ballroom and named it The Fillmore West to go with The Fillmore East in New York. Winterland served as an ice skating rink at one time and it was HUGE. It was demolished.
Jack struggles a bit to keep up with Eric? Really? What the f-ck are you on :(

He probably lost 10lbs after that workout. Legend gone but not forgotten
I love how no one is arguing on this video,we all enjoy Cream. Also alot of us are Guitar Pheins so we can all talk about Claptons guitar changes over the Cream years without fighting.
Ha, not arguing but could they have done this version any faster? Where's the freaking fire?
@@JdoubleU1222 they officially released this concert, it’s at this speed too so I’m wondering if it’s correct or they were just lazy to correct the speed.
Sweet! I've never heard this version before. Thanks!
Best damn band ever!!!!!!!! Love my SG Standard Bass. Been playing along since 67. Long live the Cream. Tom
Winterland is the rawest, loudest and greatest live version of this song, thanks for posting.
Oh, how the American Blues men inspired so many universal musicians. This is some of the BEST Music of the Century.
The best guitar sound ever !!
Cream,consider it as the precursor to future rock and heavy metal.🤘
This was the peak event of rock music.
I dwell here. In timeless awe of a momentary gift to music. Epic.
One of my favourite tracks of all time. Charts the transition between blues and rock perfectly!
Cada que escucho esta cancion me dan ganas de bañarme en cerveza!!!!!
Really great recording quality. Ginger Baker cracks me up...what a beast!
My brother went to this show I believe...came home talking about the drum rolls with his feet.
Wonderful Music of Cream. Precious memories of Ultimate 60s, R.I.P. Jack Bruce.
Clapton's guitar sounds so much better on this version than the Royal Albert Hall live cut.
+Daniel Stoddart because Gibson is better than Fender
+alec bro in the Farewell concert he played a Es 335
He played a Gibson on both cuts, so that theory goes right out the window...
+Daniel Stoddart maybe what alec is trying to say is RAH concert in 2005 reunion? lol
If I had to guess, it sounds like Clapton's gibson 335.
I saw the Cream at the Filmore and other places several times. Don't recall them playing it this fast. It becomes a whole new tune.
Steve
Man, those were the days. All this fantastic stuff was coming at us all at once.
What a fucking awesome bass sound Bruce has here!
well I'm Scottish so I'm biased but Jack Bruce is the absolute best bass player
Thank you! One of my favourite from cream :)
love all insightful comments I was boy scout at Jamboree and radio song was born under bad sign so long time fan
this version I can agree it was Baker's band...wow
thank god Ive discovered RUclips..............I can rediscover my youth again with all my fav music
This is by far the greatest tribute to Robert Johnson! Stones do a good job with Love in Vein also.
And with Mick Taylor on the front!! A tremendous performance!
Vain
an AMAZING version I've never heard before ..wow
RIP Ginger - may you and Jack finally reconciled
I was at this concert. I recorded the whole thing on tape. My mom borrowed the tape and lost it.

thanks for the great upload Tate, haven't seen this version. Also, you'd probably like Paul Kossoff''s take on Free Crossroads Live
ANOTHER CROSSROADS by CREAM AT LA 1968,ともかく猛烈３人組だったわいナ！
I still can't get my head around how Clapton went from playing like *this* to the way he's played for the last couple of decades...
What guitarist doesn't want to learn this song? Cream will always be recognized as one of the best.
If anyone is interested. Pete Brown from Cream is playing at a club in Camdon with 2other band for a St Patrick's Blues night!! march 17th...Not to be missed!!
It's at a venue called Proud Camden.
Pete Brown was never in Cream. He wrote with Jack Bruce.
Of course Clapton doesn't have the fire of his youth he's approaching his 70,s ffs.
Still he tours the world and works hard to bring his music to the masses. I saw him in April in Scotland and he was fantastic.

Takes me back to the Grande Ballroom in Detroit - five feet from the stage. Jack, Ginger and Eric playing great English blues.
Crossroads est le morceau que j'ai le plus écouté de CREAM !
CREAM was Ginger Bakers Group...best drummer of them all~ truth
+laurel cook Anyone who doubts this should watch the DVD Beware of Mr Baker. What he did in Cream (which is great) is only the tip of the iceberg.
saw it and decided to see him live in Cleveland,
this past June..Even though he was recovering from a nasty bout of Pneumonia and had to be helped off stage ..the man the master delivered..
***** Ginger was the best rock drummer and could hold his own against the best jazz drummers. I don' think bonham could do that.
Spooder man Sweg -- you actually edited that?! Ha ha!
Mark Kelly bonzo is god
De new aquí m, ya doce años. Ya un rato heee buen video
Quintessential where Jazz (improvization being the main defining factor ) meets QUALITY "Rock" ....and the FIRE in the creative "stew" - AWESOME !
Genius never dies nor does it even grow old!!
Amazing work by Jack Bruce!
Really sounds like he's playing a Fender bass (jazz bass?) like in the pic. Rather than his Gibson as in the familiar Wheels Fire recording
