- Thank you to our alpha patron Joel for this pick! I know the riff but the song was new to me. What a jam! Clapton is a damn genius. What an iconic sound and riff. This was great.

I'm a boomer. This song is 100% giving me flashbacks.
You have to see the documentary Beware of Mr Baker, Ginger is a fucking legend and the film shows it well. Funny AF too
I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
Hell yeah, Great documentary...
Good call! This rare gem of a Documentary, is epic! 👍♥️🖖
Absolutely! Not easy trying to figure out Ginger Baker. Quite the driver, too lol.
Tales of Brave Ulysses and White Room are great tracks off this album. They are a must listen.
I was actually supposed to do those tracks as well I think but I didn't see them in the request lol
Definitely agree with those song choices but he won’t find White Room on the Disraeli Gears album, it’s on the Wheels of Fire album
White Room isn't on this album. It's on the next Album Wheels of Fire.🙂
Whoops. Lol
Is there a track on this album that disappoints? I think not.
This song is when the psychedelic fuzz tone sound went mainstream, onto the Top 40.
The Rolling Stones had a huge hit with, “Satisfaction” revisit it. Mucho Fuzz tone.
@@ed.z. Thanks. But, was "Satisfaction" psychedelic?
@@douglaspensack3499
"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"not a bit psychedelic. Listen to it. It’s only 2 minutes. Originally recorded in MONO, released as a single in the US by London Records on 4 June 1965.
It is one of the world's most popular songs, and was No. 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list in 2021. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
Ginger Baker was what every rock drummer wanted to be. He was a jazz drummer in his early professional days, and heavily into learning African rhythms, and incorporating them into his repertoire. Beware Mr. Baker is an absolutely fantastic documentary on his life. To say he was totally and sanely, crazy is an understatement. He laid down the mold for the insane drummers that followed.
Jack Bruce and Ginger were an incredible rhythm section made up of oil and water when not playing, Clapton was the frosting on the cake, and they all had natural musical “timing” as Ginger so aptly stated.
Aptly named Cream; RIP Jack and Ginger.
"Sunshine Of Your Love" is the first really "heavy" sounding song I can remember. This is before Led Zep, Sabbath and Deep Purple hit the world. Bassist Jack Bruce does most of the Lead Vocals here, with Eric on backing Vocals, and Guitar. And ol' Ginger Baker just slamming the skins.
1969 Mountain released, “Mississippi Queen” a heavy rock masterpiece. Leslie West, and Cream producer Felix Papalardi on bass. A heavy power trio.
Jack said they weren't a rock band
The 1964 Kinks' hits are STILL played. Beatles's 1963 version of HOLD ME TIGHT, which had been played in the raucous Hamburg clubs in 1961. Over-driven equipment that often included torn speaker cones, etc.
Steppenwolf
@@Asymmatrix that’s because Jack Bruce was a classically trained prodigy. He didn’t respect mere rock players. He also was a solo artist and recorded his composition“Theme For An Imaginary Western” a masterpiece.
"Crossroads" from wheels of fire is another awesome track. The interaction between all 3 players is very cool. Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce are one of the best rhythm sections of the 60s.Cream is worth a deep dive. Baker was also influenced by African music , he was a jazz drummer before and after cream.
Cream, my favorite band since 1967 and has not ever changed.
in my top 3
Watch either of their concerts from the Royal Albert Hall London. This riff was before Smoke on The Water.
This is a true story. Back in October ‘68 I saw Cream at The Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston (tickets were $3, $4, $5, and $6). I don’t remember what price mine were, but we were just happy to be there. Before the show we hit the snack bar to load up on crap before the show. While we were waiting our turn, some random dude walked by and said that we could see that band up close if we walked down to a roped off area further down. We followed his lead and came to a stairwell where we could see a little way down. After standing there for couple of minutes, we saw movement coming up the staircase towards us. There were 2 security guys standing close by, but that was it. We walked as far up to the ropes as possible, and stood there getting excited. After less than a minute, lo and behold, here they came. First came Jack Bruce, followed by Eric Clapton, followed be Ginger Baker. Jack and Eric just passed us by without so much as a glance in our direction. They all came within 3 feet of us on the way to the stage. Ginger walked by last, and he looked over at us sort of grinned. They all must of thought “Who are these punks” as they passed us by. We were all in 7th heaven though. Great show that night and this was one of gems they played that night.
Absolutely true story.
Nice
I saw them in St. Louis in 1968. When the curtain opened Jack Bruce said we're not ready yet and a few moments later they started with this song. RIP Jack & Ginger, thank you. Jim
@devildog5354Most likely
The scene when this song kicks in over the push in on Bobby Deniro smoking in Goodfellas...my favorite moment in any Scorsese movie
Dude, Jack Bruce is EVERYTHING on this song.
Not understanding equipment and players is a problem. Lack of research before unloosing his mouth is another one.
@RoSaWa386-33 Well, it is my first listen to this band, and I like to go in blind. That's my nice answer to your dumb ass comment.
Hey L33, Don't ever let the negative comments get you down. People who stumble on L33 don't understand what this is about. This channel is not about teaching us from your wealth of 1960s musical knowledge. It's about you going in cold, and it's fun to hear you learning. It's true that once in a while you may get a detail wrong, and then you have to learn it afterwards. But the point is, you want to learn, and you keep learning, which is more than most can say. Maybe RoSaWa will stick around, and find the groove of this channel?@@L33Reacts
Crossroads live is jaw dropping. Clapton's guitar and Bruce's bass are playing lead together and Baker is going crazy. Cream was genre changing with their brilliance.
that cut is the absolute ceiling !! there is no next step
Disraeli Gears is a masterpiece. Definitely one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and one of the most influential.
The original power trio. Just great blues/rock. What's amazing is Cream was only around for a little over 2 years, but the impact they had was phenominal.
Ginger Baker is the greatest drummer of all times..... just ask him !🤣🤣
I can attest.😅 It's simply just the truth.. 🤟👹❤️
He does have heros of his own tho, who he admired greatly. Just not his 'peers' at the time.. and rightfully so. You bring up the wrong names every time, just because they are popular (bonzo and mooney, which he smokes.), but i as a Ginger fanatic would argue that Hiseman, very much in the same musical field, can be considered better than Baker (a little cleaner), but i LOVE the wild energy Ginger Baker perfected
😂
Someone once described Baker's drums as sounding like someone falling down the stairs carrying boxes. Ginger was not a fan of John Bonham-claimed he lacked "swing" in his playing. I liked Ginger's playing. Very unique.
Shocking you haven’t heard this on classic rock radio.
Nice reaction, thanks! Try to catch “Spoonful” on the Wheels of Fire album, if you want to be blown away by 3 virtuosos going at it with abandon. Ginger’s performance is unreal, all improvisation and the interplay is like clash of the titans. I usually hate jams because none of them holds a candle to this one.
Felix A. Pappalardi Jr. (December 30, 1939 - April 17, 1983) was an American music producer, songwriter, vocalist, and bassist. He is best known as the bassist and co-lead vocalist of the band Mountain, whose song "Mississippi Queen" peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has become a classic rock radio staple. Originating in the eclectic music scene in New York's Greenwich Village, he became closely attached to the British power trio Cream, writing, arranging, and producing for their second album Disraeli Gears. As a producer for Atlantic Records, he worked on several projects with guitarist Leslie West; in 1969 their partnership evolved into the band Mountain. The band lasted less than five years, but their work influenced the first generation of heavy metal and hard rock music. Pappalardi continued to work as a producer, session musician, and songwriter until he was shot and killed by his wife Gail Collins in 1983.
--Wikipedia
Yes. Lee reading Felix' name reminded me of Mountain. Don't know if Lee reacted to them, but he should and will eventually I'm sure.
Notice how the guitar solo starts out by quoting the melody of the old 30's song "Blue Moon". Producer Tom Dowd said that it was him that suggested to Ginger Baker a sort of Native American drum beat - like something you might hear in an old Western movie. Baker says it was his own idea. Jack Bruce wrote the riff, and poet Pete Brown wrote the lyrics.
One of the best 3 piece bands in history.
You mean the best bar none
I can't think of a single 3-piece band EVER that could equal Cream. Can you?
@@terencedoherty3049 NO!
Jack Bruce wrote the song with contributions from Clapton.
Disraeli was a British Prime Minister in the 19th Century. The story goes that Clapton was talking about getting a racing bicycle with one of the band’s roadies who confused the cycling equipment known as “derailleur gears” with Disraeli.
Peter Brown
By this time, all these old songs, you will be half hippie in a few more months...and that's a good thing bro.❤ and ✌️
It's enjoyable to see a younger generation hear these for first time.
Great channel!!!
Jack Bruce, who wrote this song, IMO does not get the credit he deserves for his iconic contributions to Cream. By far the band’s best vocalist, as is clear on this track, he was a great bassist who dabbled in jazz as well as blues and rock. Check out White Room, Politician and especially Spoonful, in which his vocals max out. Too bad Cream disbanded so quickly, as there would have been a lot more great stuff from them for us to be listening to and discussing.
He did, with Pete Brown writing the lyrics. They were a great team, and Jack is one excellent vocalist. Clapton participated in writing this tune as well. Actually, Jack recorded some stellar material with and without Cream. His solo work right afterwards is very good.
Benjamin Disraeli - British PM in the 1800s
And a play on Derailleur gears (as used on bikes). Always pronounced dee-rail-ee-a in England.
@@stevewest4994 Interesting, never knew that!
The riff and music was written by Jack Bruce, Clapton wrote the middle 8 and lyrics by Peter Brown. Peter Brown in recent years, wrote lyrics for Procol Harum. This is an iconic song. Nothing sounded like this BEFORE this.
Right. It feels like a benchmark in music history. Everything changed after Sunshine Of Your Love.
Jack is the main vocalist on most of their songs and also wrote the majority of their original material with lyricist Pete Brown.
The band's name came from the fact that the members were the cream of England's rock musicians.
I've always loved the floor tom work Ginger does on this track. Hearing this always takes me back to playing this at the roller skating rink with my friends in our high school band in the 70s. Good times!
RIP bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker, one of the greatest rhythm sections ever, too bad they couldn't stand each other. The live version of this song from the farewell tour is 🔥🔥🔥✌️
I've read they went back and forth quite a bit, but man, did they work well together.
The first time I ever heard this tune I was sitting in the back of a bus listening to my transistor radio at a low volume. This song came on & I cranked it up to hear it better & the driver booted me off the bus. But that was OK as it was worth it.
Has there ever been a better album cover?
They were called the cream for a reason, And Jack Bruce brilliant bass and he was a classicly trained singer
All Cream albums were on "Heavy Rotation" in my High School Art class. We played lots of British Blues like John Mayall, Jethro Tull, Savoy Brown, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin (naturally)
and Black Sabbath. Our teacher thought music inspired artworkers, as many of the musicians were former Art students.
Besides producing Cream, and playing cello on "White Room", Felix Pappalardi became the bassist/vocalist in the group Mountain. After Pappalardi died, Jack Bruce of Cream had a group with Leslie West of Mountain.
'Blue Moon you saw me standing alone...'
It was on the radio every 10 minutes in 1967.
This was before smoke on the water. There was really nothing quite like Cream when Cream came out.
It sounds like a busy metal fabrication shop at full tilt. Percussive, discordant, harsh, in your face. Ginger Baker is a very dangerous man
How come I have to make a shopping list, but the lyrics to this come instantly to mind?
My understanding is that they wrote it upon seeing Jimi Hendrix for the first time. Jack Bruce came up with the riff.
I love Jimi Hendrix responding to their break up by covering Sunshine instrumentally. ❤
Ginger Baker is a beast! He always makes his presence known. After Cream split, he joined Clapton and Steve Winwood from Traffic to form Blind Faith, another super groups. Check out White Room next, Cream was a great great band!
This is the signature music of my junior and early high school years. I grew up musically from the early 60's, so Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Page define my earliest musical consciousness, along with Buffalo Springfield (Steven Stills and Neil Young), the Bryds (David Crosby), and the Hollies (Graham Nash). I am so blessed to have grown up during the revolution.
As am I.
Best vibrato in the business
Courtesy of Wikipedia…. The album title was a corruption by Cream's roadie, Mick Turner, of a description of racing bicycle gears known as 'derailleur gears'. Benjamin Disraeli was a 19th Century British Prime Minister, hence Disraeli Gears.
I'm glad you're listening to this fantastic band! Enjoy!
🎶🎶🎶👍
Me too! I've heard this riff a million times but never knew where it was from originally lol
Fresh Cream also has great cuts. Any one of them! And they’re some gems!
ginger baker one of the great rock drummers ever
This is one of the first albums I had in my collection! Love Cream! 🌻💜👵🏼✌🏼
You might be wondering where they got the name of the album. According to drummer Ginger Baker: "Mick Turner was one of the roadies who'd been with me a long time, and he was driving along and Eric [Clapton] was talking about getting a racing bicycle. Mick, driving, went 'Oh yeah - Disraeli gears!' meaning derailleur gears ... We all just fell over ... We said that's got to be the album title." So the title came about because the roadie couldn't think of the word "derailer" and instead plugged in the name of a 19th century British Prime Minister.
Thanks Lee! Next up "Tales of Brave Ulysses" from this album.
What a trio!!!!!
3 virtuoso's at the top of their game!
Ginger and Jack would get into it all of the time. Ginger had a hell of a temper!
Word nerd! 😎
Now you need to hear Jimi Hendrix' cover of this song from Live at Winterland.
Probably the most extraordinary thing about Jimi Hendrix, which you will not hear about too often, is his almost supernatural ability to hear a piece of music and be able to play it back better than the original.
His cover of this just crushes it.
The main guy in Cream was Jack Bruce. He wrote and sang most of the songs. Great bass player and conservatory trained. Pappalardi was the bass player for Mountain a few years later until his wife and co songwriter shot and killed him.
The album has many great songs, "Tales Of Brave Ulysses", "We're Going Wrong", "Dance The Night Away".
I never got to see Cream ; but did see Blind Faith on their only US tour. Ginger Baker was a beast. Could not stop watching him even though Clapton was onstage too. P.S. I stared at that pschedelic cover of the album so many times while tripping. By the way.....Papallardi went on to become part of the band Mountain
Love Ginger Baker's drum beat to this song. He does not go where you think he would go with the song. When there are only 3 guys in the band, they all have to contribute to the feel of the song. Jack Bruce on Bass and singing along with Eric, very ground breaking at the time.
Three musicians doing what they do best
Baker... King of Flam! Thx, Lee!
Someone asked Eric what it's like to be the best guitar player. He said "ask Robin Trower".
I've seen Robin, he's very good. BRIDGE OF SIGHS is a masterpiece. But...Eric should have said "Ask Peter Green," where even B.B. King has agreed.
@@splitimage137. there are way too many 'best players' out there.
How can we pick just 1?
@@2ndMostEndangeredGender That job is best left to a professional like myself (a legend in my own mind ;)
@@splitimage137. 👏🏻🤘🏻✌🏻
There's a couple of Ginger Baker drum solo videos on YT. One recorded at the Cream farewell concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1968 and the other at the same venue for their reunion concerts in 2005 - when Ginger was 66. Both are worth checking out.
Thanks for recognizing the 60’s produced the best & mostl original music ever. Sunshine of your Love 1967. Smoke on the Water - 1982. 2:06
"Toad" is mostly a Ginger Baker drum solo. The reunion tour version at the Albert hall is particularly nice, with great visuals.
One of my favorite Clapton tunes is "Let It Rain."
Absolutely love me some Ginger Baker on drums. He was also in a super group that only put out one album called Blind Faith. But it became iconic and he is the drummer on that.
I also love Jack Bruce on the bass guitar. Definitely have to check out White Room.
Ginger Baker is a legend and a very influential drummer. Check out his incredible drum solo, Toad, on the album Wheels of Fire. He was one of the first rock drummers to use double bass.
You should listen to a 1966 album who's title is self explanatory: John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton. This era Clapton (and not Yardbirds period) playing with this band the material recorded on this album is the reason people started writing on the London walls Clapton Is God. I'm sure others will back me up here when I say this is a must listen album to anyone who enjoys this kind of music or wishes to educate themselves on the music of the sixties. It's blues "rocktified" with jazz undertones at its best. Suggestion given...
Great great song... you should their song badge another great song
I remember the day that my high school played this song over the loudspeakers during homeroom and I thought, “we have arrived!”. That was circa 1971.
Eric's solo was shortened considerably for the USA AM radio stations. I learned about Cream from a junior in high school when we seniors were into the Doors. Most of the vocal here is Jack Bruce. Clapton had a few lines, but Jack was the voice of Cream. Great bassist, too.
Guitar sales went mental twice in three years: The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, and Disraeli Gears.
The Grand Funk Live Lp in your window is pure art........rock on dude!!!
Glad you noticed that. Now I need to do another GF track....
'Smoke on the water' that came along probably 15-20 years later!!😁🇬🇧
Five years later in 1972.
As others said below, the live Crossroads from Wheels of Fire is SMOKIN'. Also from that album White Room. From their first album, I Feel Free. So much more. BTW, Felix Pappalardi, a pretty good bassist himself, later formed Mountain with Leslie West and issue classic tracks like Mississippi Queen.
The kit is {I believe} the one that Ginger made himself by panel beating sheets of metal in his kitchen..! It gave him a totally unique sound,
Sammy Hagar and Eddie Van Halen both said Disraeli Gear is their favorite album of all time. Listen to the first Black Sabbath album. You can definitely hear the influence of Cream.
When this first came out, Cream sounded like no other band. They had 3 supreme musicians and helped invent the Jam Band. I always described Ginger Baker as playing lead drums on this song. ✌️❤️🎶
I was just typing "Iconic" when you said it.
SWALBR & Badge are 2 must listen tracks of theirs
Jack Bruce does most of the lead vocals on this song (as well as the killer bass), Eric Clapton adds harmonies on the chorus. Jack Bruce & Peter Brown wrote the bulk of the song (as well as most of Cream's songs); Clapton came up with the riff (& spent hours trying to get just the right guitar tone).
Great album & tune, I played the vinyl 45 of Sunshine Of Your Love in one of my sets at the Green Gathering (U.K.) last year.
Felix Pappalardi became the bass player in Mountain. There's a whole new deep dive..
Ginger is always killing it!
Clapton was in the Yardbirds too, and Blind faith
Felix Pappalardi became the bassist for Mountain.
Another trio that needs a listening. A band that didn't last long but what they put out on vinyl was killer.
Wore out the record. Great song.
The riff was discovered by Jack Bruce on his bass and he showed it to Eric. Inna-Godda-da-Vida comes closest to the feel of the riff, which, technically, is unique, nobody copies it exactly to avoid copywrite. See the doc Beware Mister Baker, maybe free in YT? Jack said, in an interview decades after Sunshine hit the airwaves that he would like to come up with a riff that good, one more time, before he died. He did not. I saw Cream in 1967 and 1968. It would take me 60 years to get an SG (after Clapton and his Fool psychedelic SG in 67). Cream informed me that I was a rocker (I was 14 and it would take me 8 years to buy, since we were "poor", a decent guitar).
The whole trio is great not just Clapton...Jack Bruce's vocals and Bass are great and underrated in some quarters.l
Ginger Baker is on most people's top 5 rock drummers of all time, including mine. His dumming has been described as tribal sounding
This song has always been so sychodelic to me,
Lots of acid, just sayn'
💃💃🍀🍀
Disraeli Gears was the first album I ever bought. I had not yet a turntable but the album was a special offer and because I knew it alrewady I wanted to have it. And so some time later I was the proud owner of a turntable as well. "One after the other": very often a good advice.
React to white room and Toad which is basically a drum solo you'll love by Ginger Baker
🎵🎸📀💿🥁
"Hot Smoke And Sassafras" - The Bubble Puppy.
Now, this takes me back to my old hippie days. ✌️🌻
Crossroads and White Room
are a couple more to check out.
Cheers
Ginger is outstanding on the Crossroads live at prince albert hall 1968
