As i understand, he was really ill at the time. Nettie, his daughter talked about how they were lucky to catch his illness when they did or its likely that might have been one of his last showings. Fortunately he got checked out and lived a few more years.

Cantankerous, grumpy old git and absolute legend! Well done Stewart for getting him to sit behind a drum kit and spend even a minute showing us mere mortals a glimpse of what that man is able to do. He's one of the greats!
Stewart said on Jonesy's jukebox that the time signature was insane to play. Ginger then needed an ambulance got out of that situation and then later played a show that night!
Ginger was the one who got me fascinated at drumming. Stewart Copeland was my drumming compass through the 80's. I love this clip. RIP Mr. Baker! You're a Legend 🤩🥁🔥👊
Thank you for the post. I know you were not feeling well over the winter Mr. Baker, I hope your feeling better. You are one of the greatest drummers ever & are one of The Most Inspiring drummers. I & many others were totally influenced by your music & drum work. Mr. Baker you have the gift of time.
I look forward to your posts every Year. At this point, Stewart, It's the only reason I'm still on RUclips. This is dynamic. Music is great. Seeing you 2 is magic.
Excellent !! It was Mr Copeland's appearance on Jonesy's Jukebox the brought me here. A great interview that I highly recommend Hey ho ! Bye For Now. Rx
Stuart Copeland might possibly be the only drummer to equal Ginger's style of drumming. Of course there are hundreds of gifted drummers but Copeland had that jazz style just like Ginger
It's cause he was his top influence. So amazing your idol comes to your place and plays drums with you, even at that age, a legend knwing how influecial he was for Mr.Copeland. Amazing!
I went to high school in London with a Stewart Copeland and we went to the Windsor blues festival where cream was headlining. We watched the roadies nail Ginger Baker‘s drums down to the stage. We thought that was so cool. And the crowd was yelling for his drum solo Toad
Two Of My Favorite LIVING Drummers. But, Seriously, STEWART, You ARE The Man-I Play "Death/Speed-Metal" And I've Drawn Influences From You Since The Age Of 10 (I'm 46 Now!!!)...TRULY INSPIRING Sir-Hope To Someday Shake Your Hand :D
Love that Jimmie! I'm a 55 yr. old metal head, Stewart Copeland and Neil defined what an iconic drummer is. Love Danny and the Rev, etc. Neil and Stu...1A and 1B
Brings tears to my eyes after just watching a video called famous drummers on ginger baker.. Where Stuart cope land said this was probably gingers last performance or the look last recorded work he did
When members of my family switched to CD (something they now regret!) I got handed down various pieces of vinyl and one was this 'Best of' Cream album with vegetables on the front....I just remember as an aspiring drummer being blown away by his drumming and some 20 years later nothing has changed. A skilled musician and superb drummer who taught me the importance of learning the rudiments...as tedious as they can be, later it does make things easier!
Lots of people run circles around all of us. That’s not the point. These are two personalities who have managed to impact the way we all play. How many of us posting here can make that claim?
For everyone who feels the need to comment on what kind of person Ginger Baker is: you'll never meet him, so why care? Listen to his music or not, that's all you need to decide.
@@harryf2705 Good bit of irony there. The old "everything critical couldn't possibly be logical" crowd is definitely pro-logic. Edit: Ooh, I got a other one for you. The "Lock Her Up" crowd suddenly caring about due process and "innocent until proven guilty" when it favors their supreme court nominee. Or how they care so much about antifa mobs and leftist "mobs" but don't dare talk about Nazi mobs. And how every left leaning protester is a "paid protester" when the right has professional buses paid for by special interest groups just to counter protest. And how "patriots" are in favor of a guy who has now publicly defended 4 authoritarian leaders (Kim Jong Un, Putin, Duterte, and the Saudi regime). Yeah, those are just examples mostly from the last month. So go on and explain how logic and reasoning are things that the right holds in such high value. I'm sure you'll find some way to warp reality because you can't find it within yourself to admit that you've led a life of being misled by a party of liars.
The man did the Spyro Game tracks. Familiar sounds here indeed. Hahahahahaha. I miss my drums so bad. But I fell in love with a strat in 2018 and started a channel showing my growth.
Baker, along with Clapton, and Bruce (but Bruce understood the times) went almost unemployed when Jimi Hendrix caught up the scene with Mitchel and Reading with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. After that, Led Zeppelin took almost the last of the 60’s and most of the 70’s. Where was Clapton and Baker? They where almost MIA during the 70’s.
everyone needs to realize Peter was not always what he has been recently portrayed as. If for example he had died of alcohol poisoning or drug use 30 years ago like others in his generation he would likely be canonized. If you take the time to seek out certain but limited you tube portrayals you will realize he was a musicians musician. there is one lengthy video of him giving a drum clinic for MI, that tells more about his character than the later life mean spirited and in constant pain person he became. It is amazing he lived as long as he did, and more amazing he attempted to continue to play after he suffered from chronic arthritis and other health issues. give the guy a break, he suffered heroin addiction off and on for many years, and that has also left its mark, thank goodness he lived through that, but I have no regard for the filmmaker who for his own gain amplified and exploited Peter's worst side in his later life. ruclips.net/video/XnwGvqJtcZ0/видео.html
STEWART SAID ON JONESY'S JUKEBOX THE AMBULANCE HAD TO BE CALLED AFTER THIS BUT HE REFUSED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL OR FOR THE UK-HOSPITAL AND HE PLAYED A SHOW LATER THAT NIGHT
ariakiss Overlooked? By who, Britney Spears fans? Just kidding, man. I know what you mean about the general public but his talent and skills as a drummer were never overlooked by other musicians ...
Stewart obviously afraid the notorious Ginger Baker Cane was going to start swinging. Great drumming from the Ginger Bread Man pity he didn't keep it going.
I've always loved Ginger Baker's playing. But it's tough to get past his rude, abrasive and self-centered personality. It's sad that's he's gone through life like this.
Read, 'The Sociopath Next Door" You'll understand it more. Another good one that helped me understand some people I've had in my life is, 'The Object of My affection is in My Reflection', about narcissists.
+Maximillian Cunningham Right. He's not a tedious old junkie with a pot belly and a bitchy misanthropic disposition. Ha! Even sadder was when in his pretentious youth, he cringingly tried to 'get down' with the whole African thing, even wearing African garb. How dreadfully tragic and patronizing. Stop making excuses for this self absorbed, charmless old blowhard fool.
Hyena131: Ginger went to Africa to study rhythms, became involved with regional musicians; built a studio and helped them become known around the world. Because of him a whole genre of music was born or at least popularized: "Afro-Beat" which has now become "World Beat' or "World Music." Ginger has a lot of my respect, and not just because I'm a drummer and have seen him a number of times. But also because he has true passion for his art. To label his sincere passion for African rhythms and culture as condescending is folly at its worst.
+Bill White There's just something so high cringe about a man of baker's ilk 'hanging' in Africa with musicians. Noteworthy was him taking documentary filmmaker Tony Palmer with him. Ego. And you can bet baker was very selective as to what footage was and wasn't used, doubtlessly dumping the myriad scenes of local Nigerian musicians laughing behind his back. If, of course, such footage was actually filmed. What will you do next, bill - cite the Beatles travelling to India to take part in an advanced Transcendental Meditation training course at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as 'deep, spiritual and meaningful?' Ha! This was the group rejecting drugs in favour of Transcendental Meditation, and received widespread media attention. How dreadfully, dreadfully bloated, white and pretentious. And of course "widespread media attention" is the key term here. Ego fuelled rock superstars trying to be 'real' and 'getting down' with the third world. To label this as anything else is unbridled, brazen folly. You clearly have boot feet in a rose coloured, deluded, maudlin past. Give the 21st century a bash! And I don't recall asking if you were a drummer. And nor do I care. Unsolicited information.
I don't say this out of any ill feeling or resentment towards Baker, but back in the day he was doing his share of heroine and especially speed, to help and indeed progress his aptitude and technical ability at an abnormal pace. However, not all musicians back in the day took that route and I alway wanted to ask him if it was worth it. It's too late now but I know he would say, hell Yeah!
Wow ginger was one of the drummers that made me feel the drum however I was taught more of charlie watts and what ever entered my head more vintage drummers and buddy Holly's Peggy Sue shuffle

The mere fact that Copeland was able to get Baker in for this brief jam is a testament to the respect they have for each other.
He also collaborated with Iggy Pop on a Black Keys tribute.
@@averyetvspecial1487
I caught him but one time, with Steve Vai and Johnny Rotten/Lyndon for an incarnation of PIL. A great show, I couldn't imagine anything like sustained touring, the two of them?

Barely recognizable here and looking shite, I thought he was ancient vaudvillian Red Skeltun or Red Skeltun's skeleton
Yeah, that’s not true.
@@davidscottrodriguez3701 yeah, it is... At least according to Copeland. The first part of that name contains a hidden piece of advice for you, btw.
@@davidscottrodriguez3701 Yes it is. Stu told this himself.
Stewart said in an interview this in fact happened. You see GB waddle off looking kinda unsettled. Cool lil jam though.
Copeland stays behind in case Baker throws something at him.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Facts
word.
Just like Eric Clapton did at the Blind Faith free concert in Hyde Park back in 69. He was scared Ginger might freak out,and start attacking him
@heyhey heyhey BAKER IS THE STRANGER OF THE TWO !!!!!!
The absolute, ultimate, take no prisoners, man cave
LOL ...
RIP Ginger Baker. Long live the Stewart Copeland!
Right! Well said!!!
When Ginger got up from the drums, his walk reminded me of Fred Sanford! RIP Ginger.

Ginger has his face scrunched up like a clenched fist.

Rest in peace ginger baker.
Ginger is looking more and more like an old London gangster.
why wasn't he in snatch XD He'd fit so well in that movie
probably would go down better than his drumming
