When my son went off to college, he "borrowed" some of my record albums. I didn't know until I met his dorm mate. He told me that my son was really cool. I said I knew that but what made him think so. His answer was, "Man! He has Disraeli Gears by Cream and the White album by The Beatles!" I replied, "He's not the cool one...I am! Those are my albums!" Love your reaction.
To understand why they would break-up Cream, these guys were musical purists with huge (justified) egos. They had individual ideas of what music they should make, and the Label and $ didn't matter. As Cream's popular success and fame grew, it added tension. Also, Baker was a genuinly dangerous mad-man, and Bruce could be personally difficult. Clapton was caught in the middle, but didn't try to mediate the problems. In 1968, Clapton left Cream to explore "Roots Music", musically inspired by "The Band" and "Bob Dylan".
One of the greatest power trios in rock history. Just think both Cream & Jimi Hendrix Experience (another trio) were both round at same time!
I suggest these Cream songs: Sunshine of Your Love, Crossroads, Badge & Tales of Brave Ulysses
The other "Power-Trio" (3-instrumentalists) was The Who, (4th member was Daltrey on vocals). The Who were the first to push the "trio" power-rock sound in 1964, and on record in 1965. Although Clapton and Hendrix were true guitar giants, Townshend's early use of distortion/volume influenced them. Also Entwistle's power-bass and Moon's power-drums created the earliest audience for power-rock. Who's drum/bass ending on "My Generation" 1965, is so similar to Cream's ending on "Sunshine of Your Love" 1967.
The name of the British Rock band, Cream, may have been inspired by the phrase, “cream of the crop”, or the cooking phrase, “the cream always rises to the top”. Both phrases imply that they are, “the very, very best” Rock band in the business, and for a couple of years in the 1960s, they indeed were very much so, especially live in concert. NOBODY could compete with a Cream concert between 1966 and 1968. Even their reunion concerts in the 1990s were epic musical events in Rock music history.
Knowing some of Bruce's lyrics, and traditional Blues in general, the name "Cream" could also mean a sexual climax.
Supergroup simply means each of the members came from other successful bands to form this one.. And they were more Blues than Rock..
Although Cream was very "Blues" focused, they had a very heavy rock sound as well. One of the hardest rock bands in 1967-68. Only the Who were playing this loud at the time. Hendrix was also getting pretty heavy as well. But most popular music was softer pop, soul, and folk. Heavy rock was quite shocking to 60's audiences.
Blues were the roots of rock music, and of course the best musicians focused on it and paid homage to it. There was no question that Cream was a rock band.
They were a heavy rock band with blues influence.
They were also psychedelic. Psychedelic hard blues rock!
You have to listen to their live stuff man.. it's Rock. 🤟👹❤
This was the era where the concept of a band was paramount. It wasn't really a front man with backing musicians, it was just consummate musicians who loved to make music together. When there is tension between members it affects the music. There were hundreds of bands who broke up for that reason. When it was a band of the caliber of Cream, it was a tragedy. Interesting side note, we (those of us growing up at that time) thought that Ginger Baker had passed away because he always looked kind of ill, and spent some years in Nigeria (later South Africa) and Italy out of the limelight. Cream regrouped for a couple of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005.
An amazing band doesn't always mean matching personalities!
Fifty-five years later, Clapton is the only one left and certainly carrying on!
Yep, they were a kind of supergroup, and even their name is meant as a reference to the three of them being the "cream" of the British blues scene, which ain't wrong.
Sunshine of your Love next
Badge, Strange Brew, Crossroads after
Clapton on crossroads is a masterclass.
I was waiting for your reaction when that Wah-Wah guitar came in!!!! Priceless!!!!
I think they call that "Wahwah Stank Face" !!
@robertyates7242 I have played this song for YEARS and it STILL causes stank face!! 🤣😖
Before the finale started, I said to the video, "are you ready for this ?".
@camoTiara I know, right?!?! This song is BAAAAD and Eric ain't no joke on that guitar. But that Wah Wah Pedal reminds me of "I Ain't Superstitious" by Jeff Beck. This song oozes funk!!!!!
@@jalandacurry4585 Yeah, not many as good as Slow Hand.
Also, you seem surprised by this song not being higher on the charts. You have absolutely no idea how much great music we had in the 60's, so much great music. I could give a class on it. It was mind blowing.
Ginger Baker was an amazing drummer. In Rolling Stone's 2016 "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time," the top four drummers were 4. Neil Peart, 3. Ginger Baker, 2. Keith Moon, and 1. John Bonham. Opinions vary about such lists, but I find it hard to disagree with this ranking.
I think this is a great list. I can't abject to Bonham as #1, though Moon is my favorite. Moon really paved the way for heavy drumming back in 1964-65, and also played creative "lead"-drums. In 1967 Ginger expanded power-drumming into a lead guitar focused power-trio. Bonham had super catchy licks, but bands avoided him until heavy drumming was more established. He helped Zep be the 1st "modern" rock stars. Peart built on the "big three", giving credit, and advancing elite Prog-Rock drums.
Rolling Stones' list is good for wrapping fish and shouldn't be taken seriously. No way Bonham can be no. 1 when B. J. Wilson was Page's first choice for Zep! Carl Palmer was better than all on that list except for Baker.
Have loved this band since hearing them in the 60’s! This is one of my favourite songs by Cream. Each of the band members had their ego issues, which is sad, so they went separate roads. I still have the fantastic albums🔥💥☮️
Some of the best r & r is from the 60’s 💓🎸🔥🥁💥
and blues and jazz and motown, We had THE Best music!
That is a great analogy! They are very much like a 60’s Rush! Top tier musicians jamming their ass off!
"Tales of Brave Ulysses" is a song recorded in 1967 by British group Cream. It was released as the B-side to the "Strange Brew" single in June 1967.
Baker kills it on those drums. I never get tired of Cream.
Clapton started using the Vox Wah pedal because he liked the sound when Hendrix used it. That's what he said in an interview.
Cream - no doubt one of the best bands ever!
Part 0f the break-up was caused by the continual non-stop touring. This lead to already existing history between Bruce and Baker. If they had better management who treating them like people instead of a collective "cash cow" they may have lated longer. I remeber seeing them for the second time in early 1968 and they looked worn out. Such a shame. For me they will always be the greatest band. 3 first class musicians. Their albums still sell and still played well together if you watch the 2005 Reunion concerts. Now they will never play again with the passing of Bruce and Baker. When watching them live, for me they were always in tune together. They were unlike anything before and probably since. The reason was they were all superstars together where most bands of this genre have maybe the vocalist and or lead guitarist as super stars and the others just members of the band. RIP Jack & Ginger
Those of us who were around when they first appeared, we were sad that they broke up also. I will say this, Clapton and Baker got along rather well. After "Cream" they teamed up with Steve Winwood and a bass player named Carl Raddle to form the group "Blind Faith". If you want suggestions, "Crossroads" will give you Clapton doing vocals, and "Toad" for a drum solo that is very much worth listening to. Enjoy Brother!
The bass player for Blind Faith was Ric Grech. I believe Raddle was in Derek and the Dominos.
@@jcartwrt, you're absolutely right! My total bad. I'm gonna blame it on a senior moment...
@@garygraham2513 As I recall, Clapton was actually horrified when Steve Winwood suggested having Ginger Baker on drums. And Ginger was there, so Clapton couldn't say no. Clapton had huge respect for Baker's drumming, but he was still recovering from two years of fights between Bruce and Ginger during Cream. Clapton was also concerned about Ginger's serious drug use. The result was that Clapton didn't stick with Blind Faith very long.
@@jraben1065 , absolutely agree
Ya, we couldn't believe it either when they broke up. "Sunshine Of Your Love", "Crossroads" & "Badge" are probably their best to listen to next.
Glad it's Cream, among the most important 60's rock bands. "White Room" is one of my favorites. Regarding drummers, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, and Keith Moon were considered the "big three" of 1960s-70s. Fans argued which was best. All three were different, and need to be heard! My take: Each played POWER drums, dominating the new "Power-Trio" rock sound. Baker was technically perfect, and played very complex rhythms. Bonham hooked you with the catchiest rhythm. Moon played madly, less technical, but more creatively.
Sunshine of your love is one of my personal favorites
Ginger is the GOAT. He was a jazz drummer playing rock/blues songs--he came before Bonham and is different because of his jazz background. In the 70s Ginger would have drum-offs with the best jazz drummers such as Max Roach---which is worth watching because it is more of a drum duet by 2 musicians who admire each other.
When it's straight up feeling in sound its great ! Among other things, the kettle drums are tuned to 4or 5 different notes.production is badass
I love your intros, man.. I wish more RUclipsrs took the time to do some investigating beforehand...
My hippie folk parents more rock than folk listened to Cream, Yardbirds, Janis , Zeppelin, since I was a baby. By the time I was 5 in kindergarten I had an education on rock n roll . My mom was a concert flutist in an orchestra. I remember her playing Jethro Tull all the time as a little kid . ❤
I'll never forget hearing this song by Cream. I was only about 15 or 16 years old at the time and i walked into my first "Head Shop". This song by Cream was playing. I loved it and still do. It was so cool with the insence burning that filled the air inside and I knew that i loved the Cream and needed to hear more. Psychedelic, man! Eric's guitar playing is magical. ❤
A "wah wah pedal" gives the guitar that sound
If you like drums, Cream has a song called Toad.. best if you watch the version from Royal Albert Hall concert.. Clapton and Bruce walk off the stage and let’s Baker have his moment.. great..
I got Wheels of Fire in 1968, and have been playing it ever since. Such a great album. And, apparently, Ginger Baker was one of John Bonhams favourite drummers.
That is EVERYONES reaction hearing this for the first time!
Watch This Song Live In 2005 If You Wanna See An Epic Performance
And Ginger Baker - probably the greatest drummer in rock history.
So glad you loved it! Just a side note for another Eric Clapton song - 'Layla'
Layla is a MUST😊
Check out the Yardbirds from this era. Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton all played in that band at various times. "Heart Full of Soul" is a good start. Also "Over, Under, Sideways, Down" is another Early Rock Classic.
Clapton was also strung out. They were the biggest stars in Rock Music and were totally touring in San Francisco where Rock music was exploding.. They reunited in 2005 doing 3 nights in London for $15 million. That complete concert is all over the internet, youtube. Find it and watch the reunion 40 years later. It was awesome.
Listening to this music without headphones is like taking a shower while wearing a raincoat .It was recorded to be heard on sound systems that are no longer manufactured , once you do you’ll understand
Clapton was previously in The Yardbirds who later became Led Zeppelin he was in Cream, Derek and the Domino's, Blind Faith, John Mayall & the bluesbreakers as well as a successful solo career! Clapton like Bruce and Baker were the cream-of-the-crop!
Jack Bruce sings both parts. When they would do it live, Clapton might sing the second part. Bruce also played piano, cello and a fretless upright bass as well.
Sunshine of Your Love is their best. I also like Spoonful.
Ginger Baker was very hard to get along with, at one point throwing his sticks at one of the others, stuff got thrown at Ginger, too. Ginger wanted to go Jazz, Eric wanted to go blues, I dunno what Jack wanted.
Ginger was so talented that he could maintain 4 different rhythms at once (2 with his hands, 2 with his feet). He went and studied African drum rhythms ?after Cream?
All 3 of them were at the top of their trade.
As I recall, Ginger was exposed early to African rhythms by a mentor Jazz drummer. Eventually after Cream he went to Africa several times. He also continued to study Jazz. Unfortunately, Ginger was also mentally disturbed, abused hard drugs, and was often hostile and dangerous. There is a great documentory on Ginger's full career and later life, called "Beware Of Mr Baker". Entertaining, insigtful, great interviews, and a shocking final.
Ahhhh....psychedelic rock!!! Those were the days!!! Sheer PERFECTION!!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎸🎸🎙🎹🔥🔥🤘
I think you liked it. (Me, too.) They WERE that good. From the same album, try "Swlabr"...and don't ask me to pronounce it. A great and tongue-in-cheek song, whose lyrics add up to: "What's wrong with this picture?" BTW, Jack Bruce was also a killer bass player. And Ginger Baker might well have been the best rock drummer ever...tough to get along with, though.
Strange Brew!
White Room is my favorite Cream song. Every time I hear it I can’t help but go wild on the air drums.
My slightly older brother went to the farewell concert. Over 50 years ago
You are making me feel old.
Besides The Beatles and Hendrix, I've thought that the 3 spot belonged to The Doors (being from L.A.) but I've been overly harsh on Clapton in recent years bcuz of his politics and his apparent abandonment of hard rock. But Cream played a HUGE part in my musical development.
Spoonful live 1967 is a must listen
The second part of the verse was actually sung by Eric Clapton
'Deserted Cities Of The Heart' is even better.
Try hearing Spoonfull from the double album.Baker was one of the best drummers of all time and Bruce was a fantastic bassist.Clapton was considered one of the best guitarists in the world.
Its so crazy to me you've never heard of Cream ! Lololol. Ive listen to them since I was nursery school , rocker parents . Your face is priceless when you heard this !!!!❤🤟
ahhhh, mah generation!! so happy to see young ones (i'm 71) getting into cream and others. explore more!! we had some of the best music, music that was so trashed by our parents as 'garbage'. can you imagine?? keep rockin' sweetie!!
Crossroads is awsome hit Clapton and Ginger on drums are one of the GOATS !
Jack Bruce's vocals have been somewhat under appreciated over the years , I know not why.
Cream was indeed the first 'supergroup'. That's what we called them even back then.
'Cream' references the fact that these bandmembers were considered the 'cream of the crop', the best of rock & roll and of music at that time.
What the hell happened?
It was the times. You have a band full of prima donnas, accomplished talented musicians who (like you say) had big egos, including Clapton.
It was a time when pride in creative integrity and identity was a bigger deal than money and contracts. Piss someone off, and they will walk off. So it was actually amazing they lasted as long as they did. There would never have been a check big enough for any record label to keep them under contract. Nope.
Think of Cream as a 'boutique' rock & roll band. All the members were from other groups, so they came together to do music without really knowing each other. The personalities just did not fit together, so they didn't last. They were meant to be short-lived as a band, but MAN what music.
You should listen to Cream doing "Sunshine of Your Love".
And a solo Clapton performing "Layla" as 'Derek and the Dominos'
By the way, if you want your mind fully-blown by rock talent, put this in the RUclips search engine:
The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post - 9/23/1970 - Fillmore East (Official)
You might also listen to the album version of "Jessica" by the same band.
Yeah, it's a 7:28 instrumental, but it's incredible.
Listen to SPOONFUL live (off the Wheels Of Fire album) and you'll hear a major league drum solo. Cream was really the first supergroup. They really broke up because they just couldn't get along with each other. I loved Cream when I was young.
Baker was very hard to live with
@@paurik08 That's putting it mildly. He seemed to have a hard time getting along with anyone. He was a great drummer though.
Cream is my favorite power trio of all time.
"Cream" A perfect name considering the members! At that level of proficiency all to often comes with big egos
Oh dear Lord! How can a band call itself after a common dairy product and be successful? We may never know.
They were the cream of the crop.
@PlanetRaconteur Cream is considered the best part of milk, and naturally rises to the top. It's a synonymous, with each band member being the best at their art forming "Cream"
Baker, Bonham, Peart. Considered the holy trinity of drumners. VERY different men.
Carl Palmer and B.J. Wilson were better.
You did a great review of this great song by Cream. I saw Cream in concert back in 1968 in Houston, Texas. I kept an old newspaper article from the Houston Post about their upcoming performance that makes me laugh looking back on it. Here’s what it said “Cream, featuring Eric Clapton,will perform at 7 tonight in the
'Sam Houston Coliseum. Tickets are $3, $4, $5 and $6 and are on sale at Houston Ticket Service, 817 Main.”
$3-$6 ? I wish concert prices were still at 1968 prices !!
I wish bands could be like they were back in 1968.
PLEASE PIN THIS COMMENT. Here is the list for Eric’s greatest performances from 66-71. This is his very best peak and IMO the greatest peak from a guitarist outside Hendrix. After listening, you will know why he is regarded as the #2 all time
Bluesbreakers - Have you ever loved a woman, Stormy Monday, Stepping out, Hideaway
Cream ALL LIVE - NSU, Im so Glad, Sweet Wine, Stepping out, Spoonful, Crossroads, Sitting on the top of the world, We’re going wrong, Sunshine of your Love
Derek and the Dominos - Why does love got to be so sad LIVE, Let it Rain LIVE and Anyday
Blind Faith - Can’t find my way home and Presence of the Lord live at hyde park
3 of the greats in music! My first album I bought was this Cream album. Too much talent among the 3.
You are so spot on with your reaction.GREATNESS
My man's reacting to this AND Sultans of Swing on the same day? Unbelievably good selection today
Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, George Harrison all knew one another and learned from each other.
This was my musical upbringing, thanks to my Dad. 😎💯
When I started playing the drums, all I wanted to be was Ginger Baker. Years later, when I started singing in bands, all i wanted to be was Jack Bruce. 💯
Eric Clapton, I know, is FAR beyond my capabilities as a musician. 😎🤣
Even together for a short time, they were still inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Eric Clapton is the only person to date that has been inducted 3 times Yardbirds, Cream and his solo career.
So happy you are loving their sound. I've loved them since the 60's when I was in HS. Stick with them for more songs. Def worth your time.
I'm (re)learning about them too.😊
My favorite reaction of yours so far 😊
What a great review and reaction. One of the best I've watched.
Can't wait for you to find out about Blind Faith.
This is cool you getting into music I heard as a little kid my brothers had all these albums.
Years ago I thought to my self the name might have been like the old saying, something is "" Cream of the Crop " it's the Best. Thanks for the video.
Loved your reaction brother, you made me flashback. Imagine being 14 buying this album locking myself in my room and discovering this. Man I was head banging like you! Music perfection
Cream: Sunshine of Your Love
Ginger Baker was one of the greatest drummers to ever pick up sticks, but he was also an unpredictable madman with a temper.
A tidbit of info about Clapton--he was once in the Yardbirds, which also featured Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page at different times. Their last incarnation, formed by Jimmy to fulfill a tour contract as the yardbirds, then became Led Zeppelin.
I'd be interested in hearing your take on Clapton's band Derek and theDomino's. Start with the non-acoustic version of Layla.
Eric Clapton guitar, Jack Bruce bass and Ginger drums. Someone said they were all alpha personalties and had to break.
They were the cream of the era's musicians. What do you mean, 'They were like the Miami Heat of music'. What's Miami heat of Music? Never heard of it/her/him/them. Two vocalists on this track, Jack at first and then Eric with the answering voice (the high one you attributed to Jack Bruce).
All three were amazing musicians. Clapton was in a lot of great bands, favorite being Derek and the Dominos, before he went solo.
Yep. Highly recommend "Layla" - classic guitar lick - so don't do the acoustic version. Don't get me wrong, the Clapton acoustic is lovely, but the crunchiness in the original was just, yeah. 🙂❤
You should check out their induction into the R&R Hall of Fame. Eric Clapton's acceptance speech was... different. The drummer dude couldnt stop the grin. Theyre awesome. They do this song at the ceremony. Check it out. They're playing their hearts out just like they did in the 60's.
Led Zeppelin we’re a supergroup and they they had pure joy performing together
Given the personalities involved it's amazing they lasted two years! Sad to say!
You started with the best track for a first-time reaction. Great choice. Keep checking them out. I'm glad you heard how good Bruce can sing, as most reactors don't seem to notice! -- They kinda made one more disc as Blind Faith, with Steve Winwood on keys.
Perfect review! big up MMBxMOB 💯
If you think that's a great solo, wait until you hear Crossroads by Cream. And if you like the psychedelic sound of White Room, try Tales of Brave Ulysses. That's also one of Jack Bruce's favorites because he always like the Wah-Wah pedal for the guitar.
Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton were joined by Steve Winwood and Ric Greco to form another supergroup called Blind Faith. You will like “Well All Right” and “Can’t Find My Way Home.” Then try some Traffic, “Low Sparks of High Heeled Boys” and “Rock and Roll Stew.”
When I listen to Cream sometimes I listen to the song four times… First I listen to the drums second time around I listen to the bass the third time I listen to Clapton on guitar and the fourth time put it all together with the vocals
You must do what you feel. Great stuff. By the way, I met Jack Bruce in London and had a drink and a chat, lovely bloke.
Ginger Baker and Keith Moon were the main influences on Bonham and Peart. They influenced everyone who came after them; gotta mention also Mitch Mitchell from the Jimi Hendrix Experience who B.T.W., was influenced heavily by Cream. Bonham did Moby Dick after hearing TOAD by Baker 3 years before Zeppelin's debut album. One of the most influential and criminally underrated bands of all time. As far as influence, I put them up there with The Beatles, The Stones and The Who IMO.
Deserted Cities of the Heart...Live Cream Vol.2 ...'nuff said.
This dude knows his music 🎵 got great appreciation and that shows in his reaction cool ✌🏼
You hit the nail on the head about the record company offering a shitload of money. You know the deal my man. Money talks and bullshit walks. Killer tune and fun video as always sir. Thank you.
They called Clapton "GOD" in the LATE "60,s" Saw Clapton 7 Times!! In the Skiing World for me when you Skiied DEEP SNOW ,We would say I was in the "WHITE ROOM!!😍🎸🔥😁❄️❄️🌨️⛷️🏔️😍😍😍😍
Check out "Sunshine of Your Love"--which you will recognize, promise!, and also Crossroads, Live from 1968. Jack Bruce, BTW, was considered the best on bass--listen to him in the background on Crossroads. Eric Clapton is considered, with Jimi Hendrix, as the best in rock history. Jimi's agent wanted him to go England before he was famous to make a name for himself and Jimi would go only if he could meet Eric Clapton.
Love it! Miami Heat--fantastic analogy.
Gotta love that song, gotta love that reaction!
Next number by Cream should be Sunshine of Your Love. Also Strange Brew rocks. 🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🔥🥇🌟👍💖
Sunshine of your love should be next ❤ thanks again for the fun
The live version is best - Live Cream Volume II
@@36karpatoruski agreed 👍
