It's worth Repeating ... 1. Pete's Show(s) are The Best on the Internet. Period. Extremely Fair Guy. 2. Pete's Range in Music Appreciation & Enthusiasm is Incredible ! 👍👍🎸
“Wheels of Fire” is my favourite because of two Cream songs, I’ve always loved: “As You Said” and “Deserted Cities of the Heart” , followed by their wonderful “Fresh Cream” debut, “Disraeli Gears”, and finally “Goodbye”.
Hey Pete I'm new to your channel and I absolutely love your videos. I've been on a huge binge watch. Thanks for the awesome rankings, etc. to get us music lovers through a trying time right now.
Everything " Slowhand" was involved was fantastic. Sunshine of your live, Crossroads, Spoonful, Politician and White room are my fauvorite tunes. A great power trio. Excellente video Pete. Thanks
Great to find a review of Cream as one of my all time favourite bands. When I was about 14 years old I heard Live Cream Vol 2 and it changed everything!! The live versions of 'Tales of brave Ulysees' and 'Deserted Cities' still blow me away and are arguably the spark and influence for a whole heap of hard rock bands that followed on just after they disbanded.
Very well said. I always think of Creedence & The Doors when it comes to bands with Enormous Success in such a short period. 3 Dog Night too. And remember, The Beatles were only around 8 years !
For me, their top 10 best songs are (yes I know some of them are old blues covers): Strange Brew Badge White Room Sunshine of Your Love I Feel Free Spoonful Crossroads I'm So Glad Politician Born Under a Bad Sign
1. Disraeli Gears 2. Wheels of Fire 3. Fresh Cream 4. Goodbye - love those studio tracks, but only 3 of them. Badge of course featured cowriter George Harrison on guitar. Notice the similarity with the riff in the bridge to Here comes the sun. Anyone who hasn't seen it should check out the Documentary Beware Mr. Baker. Quite revelatory. I always though Jack Bruce was the A hole in Cream. I can understand why Ginger had a hard time finding people to play with him later in his career. Thanks for a cool ranking video Pete. Cheers.
Thanks for that Pete. Had they stayed together a few more years and put out a few more albums they could have been spoken of as the greatest rock band ever; but perhaps all that ability just couldn't be contained. Three fantastic musicians but Jack Bruce was the real genius. His bass playing controlled the direction and tempo and held the whole thing together on stage; his voice had a wonderful range and power; and an inspired and unique songwriter with the poetry of Pete Brown's lyrics. Jack went on to create the most interesting solo work of the three; developing the music that he'd started with Cream. His first few albums in particular are works of real beauty. If Eric and Ginger had given Jack the reins, then artistically and creatively Cream had a real future, but it wasn't to be. One of the greatest live bands ever, just on their playing ability alone, without stage tricks or effects.
One of the greatest bands of all-time. Can't go wrong with any of their stuff. Those were the days is a nice "one stop shop" box set with studio and live material.
1. Disraeli Gears 2.Wheels of Fire 3.Goodbye(Badge moved it up) 4 Fresh Cream I'm 67 and grew up with this band. Now last couple weeks I been on a Cream binge (with headphones vol. cranked to 10. Like wow. Great show Pete Pardo !!
Just got into your channel recently from the megadeth reviews. Amazing channel my man! I noticed you said you went to a record store in Warwick, NY. I grew up in Vernon NJ which isn't far at all from there. Anyways, stay safe and keep up the great work!
Man, I wish Cream stuck around for longer! They are one of the greatest live bands of all time and their studio material is fabulous too, more brutish than just about anyone else at the time, and even today. Here’s my ranking: 1. Wheels Of Fire (1968) - as musically interesting as Disraeli is, this is even more so. Even without the magnificent live disc, this would still be my number one, and it would easily make my top 10 albums of all time. 2. Disraeli Gears (a landmark album in psychedelic rock and in the creation of hard rock and heavy metal! Still kicks ass!. 3. Fresh Cream (1966) - a very notable debut, but I feel like many of the songs reach their true potential when performed live. 4. Goodbye (1969) - not a bad album by any means, and I feel that ‘Doing That Scrapyard Thing’ and ‘What A Bringdown’ are fun and vastly under appreciated songs. Here’s my top 10 Cream songs also, including some of their terrific blues covers: 1. Spoonful (Wheels Of Fire) 2. N.S.U. (Live Cream, Volume I) 3. Outside Woman Blues 4. Strange Brew 5. Born Under A Bad Sign 6. Sitting In The Top Of The World 7. Those Were The Days 8. I’m So Glad (Goodbye) 9. SWLABR 10. Passing The Time
Wow, you got the wind storm there, too. I was listening to the scanner all day and most of the calls were for trees and wires down. We also had some really heavy rain, with low-level & basement flooding.
This one is almost impossible. All four, especially the first three, were absolutely brilliant; depending on my mood, they could change at anytime. Geez. Here's my ranking (for now): #4. Goodbye - obviously, this was going to rank at the bottom. Badge is clearly the best on here. Here it gets REAL difficult. #3. Disraeli Gears - The first Cream album I ever bought. Features many bona fide classics. #2. Fresh Cream - Fiery, passionate, tasteful and soulful. Not a single weak tune on here. I'm ranking this second, as I listen to this one a little more than DG. #1. Wheels of Fire - This ranks at the top spot specifically for the studio album disc. I never cared much for the live disc, to be honest. I always thought Cream were better to WATCH live, as opposed to just merely hearing them live, if that makes any sense. Nos. 2 and 3, especially, could easily switch places.
Thanks, Pete! Was hoping you'd do Cream. My ranking is the exact same as yours. Those first two albums made such a tremendous impression on me in 1967! Please do a ranking of Be-Bop Deluxe.
Great video, as usual. It should be noted that Badge is was co-written with George Harrison - he plays the ‘riff’ - and the line, ‘told you ‘bout the swans that they lived in the park’ was coined by a certain Sir Richard Starkey.
I believe Andrian Barber helped produce the album. He worked with my Band ( ONE) out of Boston.We been finding lots of live recordings. Hope too making a album. Yes! I have lots of wild stories! I was at first tour in America. And the last both in New Haven. I was only feet away from Clapton. Leaning on the stage. Wow!! That is my review!
They actually played Pressed Rat and Warthog during their reunion show at The Royal Albert Hall. Did you see that, Pete? It was easily my favorite moment at that show.
Hey Pete, we got the worst of that storm up here in Maine!! Some of those wind gusts went past 60mph!! I stayed inside the whole day, and I was cold as hell!! BTW, *Disraeli Gears* is my favorite Cream album. 👍🏻
1. Are You Experience 2. Electric Ladyland 3. Axis Bold As Love 4. Band of Gypsys (because someone has to be the scapegoat in all this. Plus, We've Gotta Live Together is the worst piece of crap I've ever heard. It's just a bunch of soul cliches)
Saw Ginger Baker live with Hawkwind at Preston Guild Hall England on the Levitation tour 1980 Brilliant concert , love you to do a Hawkwind ranking album show how many albums have they done ?
I remember "Swlabb" it was on the flip side of the single "Sunshine of your love". It's actually a cool song, I never knew it was on an album, thanx for the info.
When I was a kid I heard and loved the hits (Sunshine of Your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses, White Room...) but it was that Live Cream Vol. 2 version of "Steppin' Out", which was misprinted as (Freddie King's) "Hideaway" on the copy I had... that really grabbed me. Called the song by the wrong title for a long time. But NOW... I didn't even know about Dazed & Cream, which you think is better than the two volumes of Live Cream.... and which also has Steppin' Out.... Thanks, Pete. I didn't know I needed another Cream record.
Short but sweet. Sweet like CREAM. Funny how our lists lined up exactly together. #PetePardoNation #PetePardoArmy #BigMeatPete #SplashYourSeaOfTranquilityAllOverMyFace #SweetPete #CreamPietes

Pete, but how about their reunion live album from 2005? It's different, obviously, but still good, to say the least, what d'You think? Personally, I got to really dig Cream after watching those shows on DVD.
chazblitz - No Spirit ranking I’m afraid as I don’t own all of their discography. However, I do own all of the Jo Jo Gunne releases and four members of that group were also one time members of Spirit - Jay Ferguson, Mark and Matt Andes and Al Staehely. Not a particularly successful or enduring band but Jo Jo Gunne released four decent albums in the 1970s - though ‘Big Chain’ (2005) was disappointing.

To me Fresh Cream and J Tull s 1st album " This Was" are cut from the same blues/ jazz cloth. And they both recorded a song called " Cat s Squirrel". I saw Cream at a very small venue near Chicago in 68 ( the Cellar). I still have Ginger Baker s drum stick from that show.
@@andrewhaddon5510 - Ginger Baker was a Great Drummer. All the Greats will tell you that Tull had a Great Drummer, early on. Was it Barriemore or something ?
hope you did ok in todays stormI live in owego ny near Binghamton we did ok tho like half the county doesn't have electricitylove the show looking forward to hendrix
I bought,Those were The Days Box Set, everything they did plus rarities. Disraeli Gears is now available as a deluxe edition if you just want to buy that.
Hi John , yes I made the same suggestion , see above . I also have the deluxe edition of Disraeli Gears . I had forgotten I had it until I found it last night ! Cheers , stay safe .
I agree with Pete ranking.Four fantastic albums.Listening to Clapton is pure pleasure, a guitar legend that you can still watch live respect. Waiting for the ranking of the next guitar legend Mark Knopfler of course not a long but brilliant discography of Dire Straits. Thanks
Felix Pappalardi produced "Disraeli gears" for Cream. Later he was bass player & major song writer in the great band Mountain. Don't know if you have done a review & ranking of the albums of Mountain, if not, I hope you will.
would love to see a ranking or top 10 of eric clapton or bruce springsteen. You really have helped during this time. I love your content and have gotten into a lot of new stuff because of your videos. THANK YOU
Also "Live At The BBC", the 2005 comeback concert on DVD & "Live At The Royal Festival Hall" (1968) DVD. The song "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" reminds me of "We Will Fall" by The Stooges (from their debut Elektra 1969 album)!!! The late George Harrison plays on the song "Badge"!!
One of my favourite bands of all time. My Ranking 1- Fresh Cream 2- Disraeli Gears 3- Wheels Of Fire 4- Goodbye (However this album has Badge which's among the Cream's greatest songs.)
I've always liked Cream a lot. Here is my ranking: 1. Disraeli Gears 2. Wheels of Fire 3. Fresh Cream 4. Goodbye I have Live Cream and Live Cream Vol 2 on vinyl but not on CD.
Funny. Maybe about 10 days ago? I played BBM ( Baker/ Bruce/ Moore) probably first time in like 10 yrs. My 4 Cream. / same as PETE. Thx for your time. !
My favorite musician joke - and please keep in mind, it's just a joke... What do Eric Clapton and coffee, have in common? They both suck without cream.
No wrong answer on this but here's my guess: 1. Disraeli Gears 2. Wheels of Fire 3. Goodbye 4. Fresh Cream Sometimes with a group like Cream, looking back, people often aren't aware of how great this band really was. Either they weren't alive or there have been so many bands that came after them that they influenced that it gets lost. I remember hearing them for the first time. It got your attention because NOBODY sounded like them! Kind of like a kid in the 50's hearing Chuck Berry's Maybellene on the am radio for the first time. I definitely agree about early Clapton as I like the rock stuff better. I had Disraeli Gears back in the day and I remember getting kicked out of an empty classroom when I was playing the album while exams were going on. As to Clapton's playing, I like his work with Cream the best, though I haven't listened to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. I like some of his work with the Yardbirds too. As to albums with Clapton on them, my fave has to be the Layla album with Derek and the Dominoes with Duane Allman. I didn't realize Jack Bruce played with Robin Trower. Why Dontcha by West, Bruce, and Laing was a good album, Jack playing with Leslie West and Corky Laing, both from Mountain. One of my favorite tunes that Bruce played on is Apostrophe with Frank Zappa. It was a jam session that Jack got in because he knew Jim Gordon who was playing with Zappa at the time.
You are not wrong though, Pete. After Derek and the Dominoes as a rock fan I also thought that Clapton only made very middle of the road, forgettable music.
Pete...perhaps a listing of your favorite songs over 7 or 8 minutes long? There’s a ton of longer songs in prog, metal, classic rock. Might be an interesting list.
How about Fairport Convention's "Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament For The 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat From The Straits Of Loch Knombe, In The Year Of Our Lord 1727, On The Occasion Of The Announcement Of Her Marriage To The Laird Of Kinleakie"?
It's worth Repeating ...
1. Pete's Show(s) are The Best on the Internet. Period. Extremely Fair Guy.
2. Pete's Range in Music Appreciation & Enthusiasm is Incredible !
👍👍🎸
You nailed it, man!
Thank you posting this, here's my ranking:
1. Disraeli Gears
2. Wheels of Fire
3. Fresh Cream
4. Goodbye
Exactly my ranking too. I miss Goodbye yet
Yep, can't argue with your rankings.
Same here...
Yep. Wheels better than Fresh.
Yeah, my ranking as well. But I love them all, as most Cream fans do.
“Wheels of Fire” is my favourite because of two Cream songs, I’ve always loved: “As You Said” and “Deserted Cities of the Heart” , followed by their wonderful “Fresh Cream” debut, “Disraeli Gears”, and finally “Goodbye”.
Agreed. As You Said was always my top favorite tune from Wheels of Fire. Our rankings are damn near the same as well.
D T I’ve always been a huge Jack Bruce fan. I think “As You Said” was a preview of things to come, for his solo years following Cream.
Hey Pete I'm new to your channel and I absolutely love your videos. I've been on a huge binge watch. Thanks for the awesome rankings, etc. to get us music lovers through a trying time right now.
Everything " Slowhand" was involved was fantastic.
Sunshine of your live, Crossroads, Spoonful, Politician and White room are my fauvorite tunes. A great power trio. Excellente video Pete. Thanks
We're going wrong, an all time classic, that has forever flown under the radar.
A dreamy, psychedelic classic.
I saw Jack Bruce live 1981! What an awesome output! One of the best concerts I ever saw! Good list Pete! Short and sweet! You are the best!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Wheels Of Fire is a freaking tour de force.
Spoonful is incredible
Great albums. Yes opened for them at their last concert at Albert Hall.
Yes! Great! I was at a concert when Yes opened for Jethro Tull. First tour for Yes in America. Great night of music!
Yes AND Taste (Rory Gallagher's first band).
Great to find a review of Cream as one of my all time favourite bands. When I was about 14 years old I heard Live Cream Vol 2 and it changed everything!! The live versions of 'Tales of brave Ulysees' and 'Deserted Cities' still blow me away and are arguably the spark and influence for a whole heap of hard rock bands that followed on just after they disbanded.
1) disraeli 2) wheels 3) fresh 4)goodbye. Tales of Brave Ulysses one of my favourite songs ever
Jack Bruce's vocals are amazing. His first two solo albms were genius.
All his solo albums are great . . .
Like ccr, the doors.. the short period of time these guys knocked out albums.
Bands nowadays 2 to 3 years before a album is released.
Great channel ☘✌
Very well said. I always think of Creedence & The Doors when it comes to bands with Enormous Success in such a short period. 3 Dog Night too. And remember, The Beatles were only around 8 years !
Three of my all time favourite bands!
For me, their top 10 best songs are (yes I know some of them are old blues covers):
Strange Brew
Badge
White Room
Sunshine of Your Love
I Feel Free
Spoonful
Crossroads
I'm So Glad
Politician
Born Under a Bad Sign
Love all their albums. Also Jack Bruce's "Songs for a Tailor" is brilliant.
I Feel Free, NSU, Badge, Toad and the greatest of all White Room.
" Songs for a Tailor " was Jack's brilliant solo debut .
Produced by Felix Pappalardi who , of course ,
produced most of the Cream albums .
1. Disraeli Gears
2. Wheels of Fire
3. Fresh Cream
4. Goodbye - love those studio tracks, but only 3 of them. Badge of course featured cowriter George Harrison on guitar. Notice the similarity with the riff in the bridge to Here comes the sun. Anyone who hasn't seen it should check out the Documentary Beware Mr. Baker. Quite revelatory. I always though Jack Bruce was the A hole in Cream. I can understand why Ginger had a hard time finding people to play with him later in his career. Thanks for a cool ranking video Pete. Cheers.
Thanks for that Pete. Had they stayed together a few more years and put out a few more albums they could have been spoken of as the greatest rock band ever; but perhaps all that ability just couldn't be contained.

Even though their studio output was small, they did a whole load of recordings for the BBC that were studio. They have been released as well.
They actually played Pressed Rat and Warthog during their reunion show at The Royal Albert Hall. Did you see that, Pete? It was easily my favorite moment at that show.
Hey Pete - How could you omit the 2005 Royal Albert Hall cd/dvd. The best version ever of "We're Going Wrong".
One of the Greatest groups of all time. All there album's are greats hits.
Hey Pete, we got the worst of that storm up here in Maine!! Some of those wind gusts went past 60mph!! I stayed inside the whole day, and I was cold as hell!! BTW, *Disraeli Gears* is my favorite Cream album. 👍🏻

Cream was Proto: Metal/Jam Band/Fusion and Prog imo. They were the blueprint for Zeppelin, Sabbath, Yes, Rush, even Mahavishnu...
Great list. Here is my own ranking:
4. Goodbye
3. Wheels of Fire
2. Disraeli Gears
1. Fresh Cream
Pete, but how about their reunion live album from 2005? It's different, obviously, but still good, to say the least, what d'You think? Personally, I got to really dig Cream after watching those shows on DVD.
Killer album the 2005 live reunion
How about doing a ranking on the band Spirit. Talk about being under rated.
chazblitz yes Sprit was great. Hopefully he does one.
chazblitz - No Spirit ranking I’m afraid as I don’t own all of their discography. However, I do own all of the Jo Jo Gunne releases and four members of that group were also one time members of Spirit - Jay Ferguson, Mark and Matt Andes and Al Staehely. Not a particularly successful or enduring band but Jo Jo Gunne released four decent albums in the 1970s - though ‘Big Chain’ (2005) was disappointing. Posted a playlist over a year ago on SoT which may be of interest. :D

My rankings are the same as yours. I love, love, love the Live version of Stepping Out off of Live II.
Wery well! And "Blind Faith" to wich kind of ranking belong?
To me Fresh Cream and J Tull s 1st album " This Was" are cut from the same blues/ jazz cloth. And they both recorded a song called
" Cat s Squirrel". I saw Cream at a very small venue near Chicago in 68 ( the Cellar). I still have Ginger Baker s drum stick from that show.
Jethro Tull is Awesome, Phenomenal ! One of the Best Ever !
You're spot on with that observation.I've been thinking that for years it's like the same album even the back cover with it's Lith images.
Tull is Awesome. One of the Best Rock Bands of All Time. In the Sub Category :
Best Acoustic, Heavy Folk Rock
1. Jethro Tull
@@andrewhaddon5510 - Ginger Baker was a Great Drummer. All the Greats will tell you that Tull had a Great Drummer, early on. Was it Barriemore or something ?
@@elvisparker4691 Clive Bunker on the 1st four up to AQUALUNG. Barriemore Barlow on Thick as a Brick.
Can't wait for the Jimi Hendrix video, any chance of a Stevie Ray Vaughan video at some point?
Great new Goodbye CD box set just came out. It is amazing
"I've been waiting so long,
To be where I'm going,
In the sunshine of your love"...
Killer song.
hope you did ok in todays stormI live in owego ny near Binghamton we did ok tho like half the county doesn't have electricitylove the show looking forward to hendrix
I bought Disraeli Gears in '68 on the strength of the album cover,a work of art and glad i did,what an album,blew me away.
Since you went into the live stuff I'm surprised you didn't mention the 2005 reunion shows.
'traintime' on Wheels of Fire's live section is a ton of fun
Hi.
The guitar riff in Bage was from George Harrison.
My favorite Cream album is Fresh Cream.
Pete, the ballroom in Detroit where Dazed and Cream was recorded is pronounced "Grand-ee."
I bought,Those were The Days Box Set, everything they did plus rarities.
Disraeli Gears is now available as a deluxe edition if you just want to buy that.
Hi John , yes I made the same suggestion , see above . I also have the
deluxe edition of Disraeli Gears . I had forgotten I had it until I found it
last night ! Cheers , stay safe .
Do you have any of the studio albums of Jefferson airplane or vanilla fudge?
Cream was Awesome !!
3 Virtuosos. Rush. Zebra. Cream. ZZ Top. Hendrix The Who. Zeppelin. Triumph. Great Trios.
Love the Marvel Shirts !
How were The Who a trio? Daltrey/Moon/Townsend/Entwistle. And Zeppelin, Plant/Page/Bonham/Paul Jones. Do you know the word trio means 3?
@@CB-xr1eg - Van Halen was a Trio with Roth. What instruments did Daltrey, Roth & Plant play again ?? The tambourine ? Like Stevie Nicks...
@@CB-xr1eg - How 'bout Jim Morrison ? What was he, a Violinist ?
@@elvisparker4691 ‘Trio’ quite obviously refers to a group with three members. Do the singers not count in your mind??
I agree with Pete ranking.Four fantastic albums.Listening to Clapton is pure pleasure, a guitar legend that you can still watch live respect. Waiting for the ranking of the next guitar legend Mark Knopfler
of course not a long but brilliant discography of Dire Straits. Thanks
Fressh Cream is underrated. Glad you had it that high.
I seem to remember a double album called heavy cream. I wish I still had it.
Nice vid, this is my list: (from worst to best)
4. Fresh Cream
3. Disraeli Gears
2. Goodbye Cream
1. Wheels of fire
Felix Pappalardi produced "Disraeli gears" for Cream. Later he was bass player & major song writer in the great band Mountain.
Don't know if you have done a review & ranking of the albums of Mountain, if not, I hope you will.
he did Mountain like 3 days ago! Check that playlist!! :-0
@@NaughtyVampireGod It is strange I didn't get any notice
would love to see a ranking or top 10 of eric clapton or bruce springsteen. You really have helped during this time. I love your content and have gotten into a lot of new stuff because of your videos. THANK YOU
Pete, what was your opinion on the BBM album with Gary Moore?
For studio
1) Disraeli Gears
2) Wheels of Fire
3) Fresh Cream
4) Goodbye
For live:
1) Live Vol. I
2) Wheels of Fire
3) Live Vol. II
4) Goodbye
All of these are great, but I had to rank them some way, didn't I?
4) Fresh Cream
3) Wheels of Fire
2) Goodbye
1) Disraeli Gears
Thanks, Pete!
Looking forward to that Hendrix show! I think I have every “official “ release and of course many unofficial 😅
Pete - as you might know - usually sticks to studio albums proper
NaughtyVampireGod in this video he said he will tackle live and also posthumously released material
I've always enjoyed Cream's poppier side as well. Wrapping Paper and Anyone For Tennis. That sort of stuff. All great.
What a lineup Cream had
My ranking
1. Wheels of Fire
2. Disraeli Gears
3. Fresh Cream
4. Goodbye
Also "Live At The BBC", the 2005 comeback concert on DVD & "Live At The Royal Festival Hall" (1968) DVD. The song "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" reminds me of "We Will Fall" by The Stooges (from their debut Elektra 1969 album)!!! The late George Harrison plays on the song "Badge"!!
One of my favourite bands of all time. My Ranking 1- Fresh Cream 2- Disraeli Gears 3- Wheels Of Fire 4- Goodbye (However this album has Badge which's among the Cream's greatest songs.)
I've always liked Cream a lot. Here is my ranking:
1. Disraeli Gears
2. Wheels of Fire
3. Fresh Cream
4. Goodbye
I have Live Cream and Live Cream Vol 2 on vinyl but not on CD.
Funny. Maybe about 10 days ago? I played BBM ( Baker/ Bruce/ Moore) probably first time in like 10 yrs. My 4 Cream. / same as PETE. Thx for your time. !
Same order I would pick em Pete.
You mentioned a video on Metal Church coming up in your Dokken video. Is that still in the cards?
great band. great.songs.
great. albums.disraeli
gears the best?
"What A Bringdown" is one of my favorites.
Great nitrous song.
My favorite musician joke - and please keep in mind, it's just a joke...
What do Eric Clapton and coffee, have in common?
They both suck without cream.
Great albums! The Live albums add to the greatness of Cream
That's a pretty accurate joke.
@@bumpdunlop indeed
I would agree, but Clapton’s work with Blind Faith, Derek And The Dominos, The Yardbirds and John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers is very notable!
No wrong answer on this but here's my guess:
1. Disraeli Gears
2. Wheels of Fire
3. Goodbye
4. Fresh Cream
Sometimes with a group like Cream, looking back, people often aren't aware of how great this band really was. Either they weren't alive or there have been so many bands that came after them that they influenced that it gets lost. I remember hearing them for the first time. It got your attention because NOBODY sounded like them! Kind of like a kid in the 50's hearing Chuck Berry's Maybellene on the am radio for the first time.
I definitely agree about early Clapton as I like the rock stuff better. I had Disraeli Gears back in the day and I remember getting kicked out of an empty classroom when I was playing the album while exams were going on. As to Clapton's playing, I like his work with Cream the best, though I haven't listened to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. I like some of his work with the Yardbirds too. As to albums with Clapton on them, my fave has to be the Layla album with Derek and the Dominoes with Duane Allman.
I didn't realize Jack Bruce played with Robin Trower. Why Dontcha by West, Bruce, and Laing was a good album, Jack playing with Leslie West and Corky Laing, both from Mountain. One of my favorite tunes that Bruce played on is Apostrophe with Frank Zappa. It was a jam session that Jack got in because he knew Jim Gordon who was playing with Zappa at the time.
Forgot to mention that there is a 4 CD box set of "Goodbye" which just came out of unreleased live material during their final tour!!!!
Pete, what about the playing with Delaney and Bonnie and Derek and the Dominoes, all before his solo career took off?
Yeah, I dig that at as well. Realized after I re-watched that I failed to mention those.
You are not wrong though, Pete. After Derek and the Dominoes as a rock fan I also thought that Clapton only made very middle of the road, forgettable music.
Hey Pete. I'm English but I know very little about The Kinks. Hint, hint.
hello pete, will you be reviewing goodbye tour live 1968 cd set? it seems like they did the same set over and over.
Don't have it.
Pete...perhaps a listing of your favorite songs over 7 or 8 minutes long? There’s a ton of longer songs in prog, metal, classic rock. Might be an interesting list.
9:05 Actually the most bizarre title ever is Pink Floyd's Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict
That one too!!
Mogwai have more awkward song titles.
@@seaoftranquilityprog SWLABR is pretty bizarre but maybe my fav Cream song along with Tales of Brave Ulysses !
How about Fairport Convention's "Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament For The 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat From The Straits Of Loch Knombe, In The Year Of Our Lord 1727, On The Occasion Of The Announcement Of Her Marriage To The Laird Of Kinleakie"?
The residents
This side explains why Hitler was a vegetarian.
Live in San Diego 68 is an excellent album. Can't go wrong with Cream on any album
