Best decade of my life,the 60's, listening to great performers and song writers of rock like Cream,Procol. Harem,Jimi Hendrix, Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, The Stones,Beatles,Deep Purple, The Doors.Spencer Davis Group. Proud to have been a child of this error. Free Love,peace,no more war,civil rights,free expression, safe communities,patriotism and drug experimentation. Experienced it all! Smile with no regrets!
Me playing my fav Cream song over and over. For years I played it morning and night. BADGE. Still play it. Just the fact that Ringo wrote some lines and George plays on it makes me love it even more. RIP Jack and Ginger 💖💖.
Jack was from my hometown of Glasgow in Scotland and ginger with Eric made them the best trio group in history.All were brilliant at what they did.Pioneers of how to play a three piece band.
I'll never forget them, LIVE, a million years ago in the Baltimore Civic Center. I can still hear those gigantic 6th chords on "Politician" - and thinking "I know there's just the 3 of them up there....But..DAMN! That's THREE guys!" They said SO much, with their playing and their lyrics and singing. I feel sad about some of the stuff that gets SO much attention these days - not saying it's ALL crap, BUT....Holy Hell - CREAM!
Most important they were the most influential. Cream was really the first group ever formed with three, super talented improvisational musicians who were all equally talented.
When I saw Cream play one of their reunion concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York in 2005, it fulfilled a bucket wish I never thought was possible. Although Jack Bruce had to sit through many of the songs it didn't matter, I was seeing Cream. I didn't know Jack Bruce, and he certainly didn't know me but what I can say is that the world is once again a little quieter after losing a musical great. Jack, if there's a heaven I know you're thumping away on the bass being the legend that you are. Rest in peace and thanks for the musical influence.
Rest in peace Ginger. You set a new stage for many drummers!! Thank you for all of your contributions. Cream was one of the all time greats. Love Jack Bruce & Eric Clapton too (who doesn't????) God Bless you 3--He sure did with talent :0
Bands become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. + When Disraeli Gears dropped, the Hall of Fame didn't exist yet^^.
They were first eligible in 1991. Clapton didn't want to attend as he didn't respect it. The Yardbirds were inducted in 1992 and Clapton didn't attend. Robbie Robertson talked him into going for Cream's induction in 1993. Clapton was also inducted a third time for his solo career in 2000.
Can we just quickly recognize how beautiful ZZ Top's speeches were? As a guy who hopes to be a good musician some day, the way they felt towards Cream, I also felt towards Cream.
Such humility, and respect. It's touching really. Back in '68, in college, I splurged one day and bought the Disraeli Gears 8-track tape, and 2 albums: Spirit, and Iron Butterfly. It set me back. .. $5. a pop.
Porter Rockwell that Spirit album is the last album my dad jammed to before he died. He was dying of cancer. And idk if you remember the song off the album called "Mechanical World". But my father had that song particularly on repeat. I gave it a listen. Gave me chills. "Death falls so heavy on my soul"
Flame Wizard It begins with Lennon taking acid accidentally when they were recording Getting Better during the Sgt Pepper sessions. Paul recounts it here in this video ruclips.net/video/j2uwdIxFicA/видео.html Afterwards he drove John home and decided he would drop acid with him for the very first time. Here is his account of that night... "I thought, Maybe this is the moment where I should take a trip with him. It’s been coming for a long time. It’s often the best way, without thinking about it too much, just slip into it. John’s on it already, so I’ll sort of catch up. It was my first trip with John, or with any of the guys. We stayed up all night, sat around and hallucinated a lot. Me and John, we’d known each other for a long time. Along with George and Ringo, we were best mates. And we looked into each other’s eyes, the eye contact thing we used to do, which is fairly mind-boggling. You dissolve into each other. But that’s what we did, round about that time, that’s what we did a lot. And it was amazing. You’re looking into each other’s eyes and you would want to look away, but you wouldn’t, and you could see yourself in the other person. It was a very freaky experience and I was totally blown away. There’s something disturbing about it. You ask yourself, 'How do you come back from it? How do you then lead a normal life after that?’ And the answer is, you don’t. After that you’ve got to get trepanned or you’ve got to meditate for the rest of your life. You’ve got to make a decision which way you’re going to go. I would walk out into the garden - 'Oh no, I’ve got to go back in.’ It was very tiring, walking made me very tired, wasted me, always wasted me. But 'I’ve got to do it, for my well-being.’ In the meantime John had been sitting around very enigmatically and I had a big vision of him as a king, the absolute Emperor of Eternity. It was a good trip. It was great but I wanted to go to bed after a while. I’d just had enough after about four or five hours. John was quite amazed that it had struck me in that way. John said, 'Go to bed? You won’t sleep!’ 'I know that, I’ve still got to go to bed.’ I thought, now that’s enough fun and partying, now … It’s like with drink. That’s enough. That was a lot of fun, now I gotta go and sleep this off. But of course you don’t just sleep off an acid trip so I went to bed and hallucinated a lot in bed. I remember Mal (Mal Evans - Beatles friend & assistant) coming up and checking that I was all right. 'Yeah, I think so.’ I mean, I could feel every inch of the house, and John seemed like some sort of emperor in control of it all. It was quite strange. Of course he was just sitting there, very inscrutably.” - Paul McCartney
@@soulsmischief2626 McCartney aside, Lennon was also a bad person in his own way and so is Eric, i do not want to go into detail about this but regardless the fans still love them because of the music that they have created so there really is no point circling out one of them when the others are just as similar. We don't know them enough personally to really be saying shit about them, of course you can cry but its the image formed by the public eye and you can't be sure unless you actually know them
@@syd3610 thats not what i said ^^ what are you talkin about man? claptons as a musician is different compared to both lennon and mccartney. Im not sure what youre intention is...
No Sxxx! ZZ inducted Cream instead of the other way around? There would probably be no ZZ if their was no Cream. Don't get me wrong, I'm from Houston and love the boys, but I still think Cream was on a whole higher level.
Clapton loved Jack and Ginger because both adored his playing and propelled him to greater heights. The latter were like elder brothers egging their younger sibling to realize his full potential. That respect is evident after Eric player Stormy Monday during the London reunion concerts. Simply put, Cream is one of the very best rhythm sections ever. ever.
que calidad en el escenario....ZZ Top induciendo a Cream ...uuufff...!!!! RIP Ginger Baker RIP Jack Bruce. RIP Dusty Hill dos de los mejores Power Trios clasicos para mi....y el otro es The Jimi Hendrix Experience....
Great Trios......if we cant get inspiration from these folks in Rock n Roll......We re unable to....6 of our greatest on 1 stage sharing the Love and Magic of music together.......then with us.....We re lucky.....Cream n ZZ ferever!.....
Far too late in 1993 this award to CREAM. I think 20 years too late. Wonderful to think of such musicians who are immortal. Three musicians so much where other 5 musicians need. Great this band in the studio, and unmatched live, even today.
I love this moment in time...I just wish the volume was better and I didn't have to crank my monitors...R.IP. GINGER- AND JACK !!! Next to the Beatles, CREAM is my FAVORITE BAND!
As a drummer for 45 years, Baker and Don Brewer and John Bonham were my heroes. Then I must add Ian Paice of Deep Purple and Bill Ward of Black Sabbath. These 5 drummers I spent hours upon hours trying to copy. And I got pretty close when you hear me play. But these guys are the basis of true rock drummers. Sure, there are many more, but for me, these 5 guys showed me that the rock drummer is mandatory if you're gonna put together a rock band. Man, they were great.
Ahmet Ertegun and Tom Dowd get recognition (and rightfully so) but Felix Pappalardi doesn't? So what if he's no longer around? He was instrumental enough in the development of Cream's sound to merit having his name mentioned.
Agreed, also Felix was a classically trained musician, and brought a lot to the table, violas and cellos on 'White Room'. and others on the "Wheels of Fire' LP. He was careful to keep the balance between the 3 egos and did it to the bitter end. I think Ginger even credited him for being a part of the "Cream Quartet"
If anyone gets the chance to read Gingers autobiography. No ghost writers there. He is truly a brilliant and intelligent - and funny individual behind the fists and grouchy insults.
incredibly classy. this was the same event where John Fogarty pulled the all time douche move of playing with an all star band while Stu Cook and Doug Clifford sat in the audience for Creedences acceptance jam.
I hate to sound like a stick in the mud, but if you grew up with music being a big part of your life like the songs and the experiences are actually kinda like your family. And the influence these people were to so much other things, coming from a smart ash like myself that's got jokes and sometimes mostly inappropriate. It seems like this is a time for respect, not the easy joke. I mean really the joke suck, lactose cocaine. Definitely not getting into the comedian Hall of Fame with that. 🎆 reflect🎤
R.I.P. Ginger Baker, drummer for Cream, who died today at 80. They were an awesome addition to the times.

Cream remain utterly iconic. The history of Rock music was rooted in the brief period they worked together.
3 dudes who sounded like 6 on stage.
Like the Royal symphony orchestra (about 70 on stage)
WORD! Loved this band as a little girl and still love them! They sounded like a 12 piece choir!
Not really....

We've probably never met, but I was right there with you.
I appreciated that life too.
You said it!
rest in peace Jack. still love u man. always will.
Jack Bruce always knew where he was at when he played, even when he was lost. Incredible players.

Me personally, I love crossroads!😊
@@davidsmith385 Yes I love that too. And I'm So Glad.
I love Jack Bruce's voice--both when he talks and sings!
His Scottish accent he never lost
He is the Richard Burton of rock and roll... such a wonderful and beautiful voice
I was unaware that Frank Beard possessed the ability to speak.
Notice that Beard is the only one without a beard.
@@larrylinn8589 lol ironic af.
He did GOOD.💋💋
It was worth missing a day at work to drive to see Cream's last live show back in the day! AMAZING!
Always Remember the CREAM always rises too the top!!!
Jack was from my hometown of Glasgow in Scotland and ginger with Eric made them the best trio group in history.All were brilliant at what they did.Pioneers of how to play a three piece band.
A very big and bold sound!😊
Billy always looks so chill
Two of my favorite all time bands! Jack Bruce was the inspiration for me back in 1967!! I would have paid top dollar to have been at this show!

Always loved listening too gingers drumming since i was a kid in the 60s
My question: WTF Took so long are you kidding me? They should have been inducted after Disraeli Gears...
Bands become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record.
+ When Disraeli Gears dropped, the Hall of Fame didn't exist yet^^.
HOF didnt even exist then
They were first eligible in 1991. Clapton didn't want to attend as he didn't respect it. The Yardbirds were inducted in 1992 and Clapton didn't attend. Robbie Robertson talked him into going for Cream's induction in 1993. Clapton was also inducted a third time for his solo career in 2000.
@K. Y. agreed.
The rrhof was established in 1983.
They really influenced me back in the day, no doubt. I still enjoy their music.
God bless you all, I see what he did there.
I'm a German blues musician in Colombia. I've seen EC twice in Germany. He's the man who moves me to tears.
I swear every time Billy speaks it sounds like part of a new song. He's voice is so unique
Perfect choice to introduce the band
Can we just quickly recognize how beautiful ZZ Top's speeches were? As a guy who hopes to be a good musician some day, the way they felt towards Cream, I also felt towards Cream.
Rest in peace Jack Rest in peace Ginger Rest in peace Cream god bless Clapton

No without Hendrix .billy gibbons played with him way back
But in the end there was a little ole band from Texas .😎

eric Clapton's acid story is the best story I have ever heard in my life
everybody's acid story is the best....including yours Tom.
You lack excitement in your life.
The McCartney/Lennon one is better when Paul started believing John was 'king, the absolutely Emperor of Eternity'.
