What they did here on Letterman was fantastic. Jack and Ginger were spot-on. The reunion tour in 2005, with Ginger at age 66, however was stellar. These men will never be forgotten for their contributions to music.
You're right man. Being a bass player, I can tell you this; Jack Bruce is first rate.
I saw the reunion at Madison Square Garden in Nov 2005. It was fantastic.
@@Nicholas-dreamlovenot being a player of anything I agree with you😊
So great to see these two old antagonists happy, healthy, vibrant, and having fun together. That’s how I’d like to remember them.
Rest in pAce, Jack and Ginger, and thanks for all the inspiration you brought us.
It was nice to see Ginger and Jack looking so happy. Ginger was surprisingly amiable and genuinely looked like he was having fun. Good vibe all around.
Thanks Don Giller
Hard to believe they're both gone now. RIP Jack & Ginger. So glad they finally reunited with Eric Clapton 15 years later. Thanks for sharing!
People say strange things. There's nothing more certain in life than death
I'll be honest, it is reasonably amazing that Ginger, in particular, lived as long as he did. That said, it is quite clear and obvious that Jack had considerable health-issues, as well, over the years. But, it seems that Ginger, especially, dove and delved pretty hard over many years into the real, very wild rock-star lifestyle. Rest in peace, to both Jack and Ginger.
Fuck Clapton jack and ginger were cream. Hendrix neutered Eric Clapton One Day in England
Eric Clapton died too?
@@TS-qq7vr He talked about the Cream reunion in 2005
Those musical excerpts, coming in & out of commercials are such a tease…that so-called rhythm section’s absolutely phenomenal‼️
Letterman's band was the best late night band ever. They could play with anyone.
My 33rd birthday that year- and I have the pleasure of hearing it all this years later!
Epic. 🎉 🕉 2024
I'm the biggest Cream fan.
Amazing bass lines. Amazing, unique drum tones and fills. Both masters.
I'm actually having a Primus/Les Claypool vibe on the song
Thank you for editing and posting this amazing video!
Thanks Don Giller . Priceless stuff man . Loved Dave for the time we had him in Australia . Jack oh man Jack what a prince . My Gold Standard for Bassist / Vocalist just a Legend and my best ever . Cheers from The Ancient Metal Guy .
Real musicians playing real music. So different from the garbage of today!!
Ginger's playing on this track is just awesome
I watched this when it was originally aired, and have my own VHS copy somewhere; thanx for making it that much easier to find today (and in stereo)!
And 15 years after this, Cream did indeed reunite in 2005 for the live shows in London and New York....
Thankfully beyond words for those of us who had dreamed of more music being created by Bruce, Clapton and Baker, literally going back to 'Goodbye Cream' in 1969.
Many years ago, after Jack Bruce had worked with some of the best drummers in the business, he was asked in an interview who was the best drummer he ever worked with. He said it was Ginger Baker.
He had to say that, due to being afraid Ginger would ride a polo horse up from Africa and kick his ass.
Even Neil Peart said Ginger was best ever.
Jack worked with the likes of Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Simon Philips and Gary Husband among others.
The Letterman theme with pounding Ginger Baker drums is a real trip.
Those two were so heavy. Probably the greatest rhythm section ever. It's like on the show nothing is working except when the focus is on them, esp when they are playing. The monologue, jokes & the interviews are all just filler.... Bruce & Baker = Pure Power.
I saw Jack and Ginger with a young guitarist named Blue Saraceno( hope I spelled it right) in 1990 at the Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. They played all Cream material and it was fantastic
Blues not Blue but otherwise correct
この二人がクラプトン抜きで共演するなんて、本当に感動ものです。なんだかんだ言ってお互いのプレイには敬意を払っていたのでしょう。鬼籍に入られましたが、天国では仲良く演奏し、クリーム再結成の時を待っていてください。ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
Thanks for putting this video up, Don.
Baker is really grooving on those drums: double foot pedals and banging those tom toms. Symbols are just an afterthought for Ginger's style of playing. AS for Jack, playing complicated base lines and singing at the same time seems to come so easy to him. These two were the heart of Cream, and Clapton's guitar work was just the psychological sprinkle on top.

@@sgt.thundercok4704 Thanks Sgt. - Dumb grammar mistake.
I always liked Letterman better when he was on NBC. Great seeing Jack Bruce & 🎉Ginger Baker together !!
A Question Of Time - still have my vinyl copy - a fine album, with some superb bass playing
Good music simply stays with us!
Love this! Pre cell phones and computers for the most part! If you wanted to watch David Letterman, (and we all did) you had to stay up to do it! Thanks for posting this!
Lone Star Dude back before he went off the deep end politically.
Nah, you could program your VCR to tape it. If you could figure out how to do that without recording the wrong channel lol
And sleep in school the next morning lol!!
RIP Great Ones..See you around the net dream!
Cream was big in 1967-68ish ... so this letterman show was 22 years later. And now 32 years after this airing. Life is short. Go do that thing you have been holding off on.
Jack Bruce / Ginger Baker "R.I.P"
Man, that guitarist in Letterman’s band was on fire. Great solo. Even Paul was flying on this.
Sid McGinnis.
I am jack bruce fan...………….RIP...….
For two guys that hated each other supposedly, they sure ended up with each other allot . And sounded great !
They didnt "hate" each other, they just didnt get along well as creative partners.
Surprising what a big wad of cash can do !
They were like brothers.
More like love/hate. When Jack died, Ginger was at the funeral, and played a tribute to him.
@@gutterdandy9173 that was a beautiful thing to see. He played a great solo for Jack after having heart surgery. All the haters need to go watch that.
They hated each other. Amazing that they got together to play anything. lol
Not quite, they had their ups and downs. Ginger actually played on the studio version of this song (along with another track) on this album of Jack's.
Money makes things tolerable don’t be fooled it’s money.
Maybe hated is too slrong a word,annoyed each other a bit sometimes perhaps better describes it 😂
They didn't hate each other. Love/hate, maybe. But both sides were there.
they hated each like the Glimmer Twins and those two old Bastards are still playing music together............
I love Ginger so much, it is so good to see this and see his smile. What an awesome guy who loved to bang on a drum
clearly you never met the man.
@Jean D He had his bad days for sure.....but he was never less than interesting.
Top ten list, How to fill that extra minute, “show the Mike Tyson Buster Douglas fight twice”...list was aired two days before the fight. Didn’t quite work out that way 😂
Thanks DomZ. Helps fill in the whole. Jack's hair... WHOA!
Well, it was just coming out of the 80s...mullets were still big. Just rollin' with the times, I guess.
I used to LOVE this show!
its a disgrace all these amazing performances can not be on BluRay or at least DVD.
“Video club” with only weekend at bernies left? Damn. Times were hard.
that was outstanding. Ginger was a very creative drummer
Caught him at Bachanal on the Question of Time tour in Clairmont, CA. Little club in the back corner of a little strip mall. Low ceilings, 400 or so capacity. Kofi Baker on drums. Wow!!
Saw them both when they played with the late and great Graham Bond Organisation at the Corn Exchange, Newbury in 1960 something, funny really because Eric Clapton at that time was a member of our local Basingstoke Galaxy clubs resident band, John Mayalls Bruesbreakers. We didn't realise then that one day they would link up and create Cream.
Days before DVD
And DVD is on its way out
One of the best of Letterman
Ginger has always looked 90 years old
Yeah it's incredible...you can't really give him an age, considering the fact that here he was 51 lol
Decades of heroin addiction, combined with about forty years of chain-smoking, eventually caught up with Mr. Baker, whose death was caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; in other words, his lungs had been irreparably damaged from tobacco tar. A compounding factor was his coronary disease, which was caused, at least in part, by Mr. Baker's long-time cigarette-smoking habit. Considering the degree to which he abused his body over most of his life, beginning in adolescence, Mr. Baker was indeed fortunate to have lived for more than eighty (80) years.
🤔
Correction: Ginger was a chain smoker for more than SIXTY YEARS, right up until his final hospitalization!
😮
RIP to two great musicians, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.
Great STEREO SOUND 😎👍🏻
Shaffer is in his glory, playing with 2/3 of Cream.
Dave says a good reason to come see the show live is the tv audience missed a really good drum solo. I wonder if it was both Ginger and Anton or just Ginger. Guess we will never know.
Ginger sounds great here...farewell Ginger.
1990 VCR's - wow the world has changed quickly
Michael Gorman pretty much 30 years.. not so quick.
Gosh this is a time capsule, Letterman talking about his first time going to a "VCR club," lol, And to think 30 years later those "clubs" are extinct! This made me feel ancient.
When David had hair...and I was dating a drummer
R.I. P GINGER BAKER
Thanks for the Music 💣💥🎶🔊🥁🍷🌌🌟🌞💓
why date a drummer when there are guitar players out there? :-)
@@richardrybinski2320 Because drummers Know what girls need !!!
Ginger’s playing is so tight!
JACK BRUCE and GINGER BAKER !!!!!........and some other stuff.
Ginger Baker - drumming more interesting and engaging than the guitar solo.
And they didn't kill each other !
The last of the great talk show hosts
Yeah, but did you notice he became more and more of an asswipe toward the end?
A Question Of Time was a hell of a great album. Wore it thin.
Ginger Baker mentored by the great Phil Seamen.
Bless them in the other world.
I seem to always be wishing that Jack's bass was higher in the mix, both live and on record. Is it me ?
hehe, it wasn't Ginger.
I totally agree with you about the bass volume level.... I watched their 2005 reunion tour from Madison Square Garden and Royal Albert Hall and both times I thought the exact same thing.... Jack Bruce's talent was on the same level as Clapton and Baker without question both on bass and vocals. RIP Ginger and Jack...🎸🥁
Gotta say, based on both their reputations I was expecting a longer, warmer and more engaging interview.
Slick groove. two hands down new orleans style. Ginger knew. RIP
great
WOW! Ginger is really killing it!
Sad how they didn’t get more screen time, Ginger barely spoke during the entire program...
Mr. Fahrenheit exactly..WHAT a dumb waste.
Kat Masterson I’m sure they only did it for the money anyway, at least Ginger, but it’s a real pity nonetheless
'I was farming olives' 🧡
Jack Bruce shines
Where does the time go?
Ginger Baker holds the record for most times quitting heroin.
Boy I miss Dave.
Who was the guy on the yellow strat?
Sid McGinnis.
When Jack Bruce did the drumroll b4 the top 10, I thought they were going to play "White Room"...
You mean Ginger Baker.
yeah, G. B....i had J. B. on my mind!
In the monologue
"Show the Mike Tyson/Buster Douglas fight twice"
Recorded 2/9/90
Actual fight took place 2/11/90
LOL
The opening bout was Ginger Baker v Jack Bruce!
Ginger always looked like an unhealthy old man. RIP
Ginger was a beast.
Song at 10:57.
7:09 what exactly was the point of having both bass players playing? Let Jack play, or don't. No one can hear one or the other or tell the difference.
Paul playing the vocal parts on his synth comes across as just a tad comical.
But you can tell he had a great time playing with Bruce and Baker, especially on the show’s closing theme.
The good ole dayz!!! 📺 😵
Love Jack's voice and playing..
pant legs tucked in socks so as not to catch kick mallet.
Reunited in heaven and probably having a punch up !
Anyone,
Who's on guitar and what brand is this guitar? Russ Freeman plays it, a lot of AOR guitarists played this brand in the late 80s....All of sudden, they vanished(guitars😀) like in some Stephen King's novell.
The guitarist is Sid McGinnis.
@@dongiller Thanks.
Ginger looked like he died two years earlier and nobody told him.
👍🏾
Jack Bruce Ginger Baker oh yeah
The only thing missing in Eric Clampton
I have to laugh, but this says IN STEREO WHERE AVAILABLE.
You know... Nowadays we have 8K 3D multichannel Digital blah blah blah and we take it for granted.
I rememeber getting out first Colour TV and then I remember going from 3 to 4 Channels, then to 5 and now my TV has a possible 9999 channels ( Obviously I can only really access a fraction of those.
It just made me giggle, but also made me nostalgic for when life was simpler.
3:32 If Joe Pesci played Bass
Great song! Jack and Ginger were born to play together! This clip pisses me off a bit though! I I think Ginger got all of six seconds of footage in here. He's back there grooving like only Ginger can. Here you have an opportunity to show world class drummer but I guess Letterman's guitar player has better hair??? Bummer!!
TOSCANA; ITALIA.GINGER BAKER.
Why couldn't Eric Clapton take the time to perform with Jack and Ginger on this show ? Would have been so great.
Because, on February 9, 1990, Clapton was in the middle of a week-long stint at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
@ 3:31 Jack Bruce looks like Joe Pesci here
cream brought about a quantum leap in music! never to be equaled.
these days weeds bees legals
That's gotta be the most polite version of Ginger Baker ever.
They tranked him!
Too bad he wasted it on a fucking piece of shit like David Letterman
“ and gentleman as well “. They had Paul fooled 😏
Not really. Watch his interactions with Jack Bruce and the comments he makes to him during the interview.
Hey, don’t mess with Mr Baker!
Where does the time go? These guys looked so young in 1990. Life is indeed short.
True we all forget that this was nearly 30yrs ago.
Ginger looked young?
Andrew Wilson I couldn’t have said it better myself!!!
Ya and this was 22-24 tears after they played together in Cream. They weren't young here either.
Jack was about 47 when he performed on this program.
I saw this tour in Okland CA at the omni. A hair/spandex band called Enoughs enough, was set to open for Jack. When we arrived at the venue early we were checking at the box office and there was a note on the window that said Jack had canceled the hair band and in their place, he was going to play 2 sets. One set of Cream music and one set of his solo stuff. It was an amazing night. I was 10 feet from Jack the whole night. And that night flew by. He played about 2 and a half hours and it felt like 30 minutes. It was THAT good. One of the best shows I've EVER been to.
When i saw them it was the same thing, Jack's band played first, then.withoit closing a curtain in full.view of everyone they took down Jack's drummer's kit and put up Ginger's and tuned it with a tuner I recall, then the Cream set
"Hey Now Princess" was a song by Bruce that never made it on a studio album by Cream but is available on Cream's "Those Were The Days" 4 C.D. set. R.I.P. to a master bassist who could get chords out of an electric bass guitar better than anyone else and a master drummer who could beat the hell out of those skins.
True . And amazing
Interestingly Ginger was not a hard hitter. He used size 7 drumsticks (light and thin). He coaxed that thunderous sound from his kit by good tuning and striking the part of the batter head best suited. Oh, and those double bass drum patterns and rolls!
Ho sentito il pezzo originale e sono rimasta basita, sembravano gli Arctic Monkey. Ma quanto erano avanti!?!
One by one, everyone I find interesting passes on...rest well, Ginger!
I'm not dead yet, and i'm quite interesting, you just havent met me.
Andy Dixon I live in Phoenix if you’re close by we can meet up
@@damon6852 Sure, i'll pop over for a coffee. I'm just down the road. Poole, UK.
Andy Dixon Hey Andy...thanks for responding...Consider it an open invitation if you ever get across the big pond in the future!
Nice to see them together. And Ginger behaved himself. Thanks for putting this together.
So glad I came across this video. Jack & Ginger seemed to be getting along great here. God bless them both. Rest in peace guys .... thanks for the great music
