It’s great to hear such talented musicians play a cover as themselves an not try to be the original band. This is Greta Van Fleet playing white room not trying to be cream playing white room. As someone who was there when the original came out, this is the first band I’ve been excited about in 30yrs. Thanks so much for posting!
I have to say, I just saw them in concert. I was worried they wouldn't sound as good as their album recordings because of these RUclips videos. But, the audio here DOES NOT match what you actually hear in person. They sounded AMAZING, and Josh's singing voice was FANTASTIC. The volume at a concert is just too much for the microphone in a cell phone to capture what it really sounds like. They didn't play this at my show, (I was hoping they would) but I'm sure it was the case here as well.
These guys honours my generation... they stand with the real rock n roll in their blood while most of the others just follow hippster trendings long live greta van fleet
I wonder how much notice they got to do this cover. That being said I do agree a lower octave would have sounded closer to original recorded version. Cream's live performances could be iffy. Jake sounds great. Love the tribute. I wonder how many in the audience even knew who Cream was much less Ginger Baker. If this sends younger people discovering Cream or Ginger Baker well done then.

@@LadyOneko First of all i've stated elsewhere i actually like GVF. My 46 year old son put me onto them actually and I was very apprehensive at first because sounded too much like Led Zep. (marketing tool/make peeps take notice?) I have grown to love a couple of their tunes but personally still waiting for Josh to find his "niche" and remain there? No disrespect meant to a very talented man. Concerning the magnitude of Cream and the song White room and after listening another 5 times with the the correct audio equipment coupled with the correct headphones to GVF performing this tune i stick to my belief the song was way out of his reach. (he took too much on if you get my drift) I don't wish to compare but must and will say Josh failed (in this song!) but the lead guitarist did a great job, the drummer did a reasonable job but the fact is they are obviously not Cream. Overall GVF will find their "niche" and i don't mean this in an arrogant way but with so many talented bands around these days no doubt will "make it." Unfortunately for newer bands they won't be spoken of as freely as sixties bands STILL ARE NOW in 50 years time. I guarantee Cream, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix, King Crimson, Fleetwood Mac, Grateful Dead, etc, etc, etc etc will remain spoken of for the next 50 years... No malice or rudeness intended towards you, just saying what an old fart feels. Peace.
Ouch... the young lads are busted... still like them, but wonder they they half-assed an epic song like this one... too much easy groupie pudee no doubt! ;')
No he is not... the drums were the weakest link here (as always with this band) - May Ginger's ghost notes haunt them forever for butchering this classic
They did an amazing job of covering CREAM and you did an amazing job of covering them with your phone camera! I wish I had been that close. RIP Ginger Baker.
I cannot express how important it is for the vocals to come in with the band for the opening verse. "In a White Room!" it's what makes the song and they didn't even do it.
Powerful and respectful tribute even tho Josh was straining a bit at the high notes! Wonderful gesture to honor a rocker who came before! RIP Ginger 💔!
I like Greta Van Fleet and are very talented but this tune way, way, way over their heads. Just saying was a little butchered but the one thing about this is many young folks will now go to a Cream site and witness them and also witness how great other bands and their music were in the sixties! Just saying. Peace.
@@klee8960 hahahahhahahaahha This shit is not as good as Cream reunion 2005, with them as Granppas, Clapton without his WahWah... Imagine if putted against the original one. hahahaha
Or Jack Bruce --- who wrote the song and did vocals in the original. So you meant to say Geddy Lee's voice sounds like Jack Bruce (who also played bass).
Not to me just yet. For me my bands stretch as Zeppelin in first, Pink Floyd, Rush, then GVF. If they release two more albums that are just as great as there other three then they will reach number 1.
No hate on GVF I like them a lot but it is crazy how I’ve really never heard anyone come anywhere close to sounding as powerful, full, and fiery as Clapton, Bruce, and Baker. It’s astounding the live sound the three of them could produce.
It's a tribute song and all You idiots out there who don't know nothing about music. No, it's His vocal range. Jack Bruce's got a different range. Just a tribute song to the great. Ginger Baker. Grew up in that ERA. This kids Did an excellent job with it? Quit your Nic. Picking like everybody else you can do it. Don't think so.
Just let me know who's gonna do these songs. I grew up with cream. This is a d*** good version of the song. Stop Talking ignorant. You're unknowledgeable people don't know nothing about music. If you went to Shows back in the day. You know, they made tons of mistakes not like the studio versions.
Who wants to hear how Josh's vocals actually sound this tribute, go other channel, where phone's mic was more sensitive, listen to the White Room in other recording, ruclips.net/video/yq97B3JA7fk/видео.html , sorry Ayumi Dangerrr
I like Greta but this is horrible. This isn't Josh's type of song. The drums are awful. Danny is an average drummer and he should avoid trying to cover a Ginger Baker masterpiece. The drums on this song are way out of his league
Brian W I agree with you all the way man. I also like Greta but look at it this way. This may encourage even more youngsters to discover the fantastic rock music and bands that existed back in the sixties. Peace.
And why is that? It’s raw, no bullshit, no fakery, no auto tune rock and roll. What else do you want from them man, if you truly like greta van fleet you would be able to realize that there a real, and raw rock and roll band. It’s human, and those little mess ups don’t matter, I’d rather watch someone play an instrument and maybe mess up a couple times will still delivering a great performance, then watch someone that plays everything too clean. Your not a true rock fan if you can’t dig this cover, or listen to a band that plays a raw rock and roll show
@@cameronleb6508 Hahaha the singer is hot garbage. He is a wanna be Robert Plant. They will forever be a Led Zeppelin cover band until they get rid of him.
Butchered it. Not good at all. I love Greta Van Fleet, but this was horrible. Only a millenial would think this was a good tribute, anyone who grew up with Cream, would think this was crapola.
Not often you hear young women shrieking for Cream anymore 😂
I'm afraid the just shouted because GVF were starting a new song, ignoring who Cream were.
it's an exception! most of them scream for Justin Bieber and Ed Sheran.
I certainly would scream for Cream, I mean... 🔥
I think the singer might actually be male.
legend

Exactly! Everyone talking about how bad they sound on here need to go to their show. Total difference. 100% agree 👌🏼
Best live band I've seen.
I saw them last week and I totally agree with you !
Was there too! They rocked the house! Thanks for posting this.

They are living the respect. I hope they play this again live somewhere.
I was there! Hell yeah the boys rocked! 😎
Just shows they’re not afraid to take risks got to give them credit for that
I'm a lover of sixties rock and bands (lived in that era) but sometimes a risk should not be taken. Just saying, sorry. Peace.

This was a terrible risk. Absolutely butchered a classic. Singer needs to control his vocals.
This was pretty horrible, Jack Bruce died a second time
Love it when Jakey gets on the wah
Beautiful tribute, thank GVF!
Anyone ever noticed that this and “tales of brave ulysses” are the same song
i think about it every time i hear either of them lmao
Ouch... the young lads are busted... still like them, but wonder they they half-assed an epic song like this one... too much easy groupie pudee no doubt! ;')
GVF aren't busted, Cream is busted because both White Room and Tales... are by Cream.(Both by Jack Bruce I believe.)
Similar chords
They should record this
Was there this was an awesome show! I was in balcony seats thought, front row like this is where it’s at!
fantastic rendition! Ginger is smiling down!
Honestly, knowing Ginger, i highly doubt it 😂
No he is not... the drums were the weakest link here (as always with this band) - May Ginger's ghost notes haunt them forever for butchering this classic
You mean he is frowning up?
Nahh he'll be cringin at this fr
Great track, great guitar solo - great thought.
Remember a giant: Jack Bruce!!!
Thank you for sharing this video 💖
I was by the left side of the stage barricade, my goodness! Definitely the best concert of the year for me :)
I saw a Greta Van Fleet cover band yesterday that sounded like Stone Temple Pilots doing Pearl Jam
Never heard of this band before, great version of a great song.😊
Nice catch, one of my favourite tracks. They did a great cover, made it their own✌️😊💜
Great Performance... thanks for uploading
They did an amazing job of covering CREAM and you did an amazing job of covering them with your phone camera! I wish I had been that close. RIP Ginger Baker.
A beacon in the darkness that is modern music .
That’s awesome
Браво! Будьте добрыми какие вы сейчас!
AWESOME JOB.
Very good guitar solo.Very similar at Clapton Cream periodo.
This 💯 rocks!!!!
I cannot express how important it is for the vocals to come in with the band for the opening verse. "In a White Room!" it's what makes the song and they didn't even do it.
This is an impromptu. Baker had just died.
Nice work. Not sure the lead singer's range works for this song, but that's not taking anything away from him. He definitely has something good there.
Ufff.... GVF están ungidos con el Toque de Midas: Toso lo que tocan se convierte en oro. 🎸👍🎶🏆🎧
We live in a simulation. Its epic that this happened
Josh chase so many octaves to choose from.
sounds like if Geddy Lee sang Cream
Geddy Lee covers Cream's "Crossroads" on Rush's 2004 album Feedback.
Some body save me, my face is melting
Powerful and respectful tribute even tho Josh was straining a bit at the high notes! Wonderful gesture to honor a rocker who came before! RIP Ginger 💔!
Rock on!
Do it Jakey Clapton
I can’t to see what they do in NOLA!
hey i was at their nola concert last year! haha
Damn good !
Dig it !!
Absolute the best!!! namastè!!!

Not, I like this better then the cream live version
K lee lol
K lee Ginger Baker is looking at u from hell with such confusion 😂😂
@@klee8960 hahahahhahahaahha This shit is not as good as Cream reunion 2005, with them as Granppas, Clapton without his WahWah... Imagine if putted against the original one. hahahaha
how'd they butcher it?? it sounded great?
Can anyone make out what Josh says at the beginning right after "this next song is for Ginger Baker"?
His voice reminded me of Geddy Lee of Rush
Zack Zallie me too, dreadful
Or Jack Bruce --- who wrote the song and did vocals in the original. So you meant to say Geddy Lee's voice sounds like Jack Bruce (who also played bass).
It's freaking terrible. "Dude" sounds like a shrieking 10 year old girl
@@jeffreyday2414 This isn't Cream this is a teenage boy cover band. Vocally, Jack Bruce would wipe the floor with this Kid.
@@drewbrees22 I wasn't commenting on this guy's vocals or the band. My comment was about Geddy Lee and Jack Bruce.
🤘This is fucking insane🤘love it🤘
God it sounds like Geddy Lee failing to sing White Room
greta van fleet is my favourite band I love them they are better zeppelin
Not to me just yet. For me my bands stretch as Zeppelin in first, Pink Floyd, Rush, then GVF. If they release two more albums that are just as great as there other three then they will reach number 1.

That kid on guitar is incredible! Not a big fan of the singer though
That's exactly how I feel. Most of his songs it sounds like a wanna be Robert Plant. They could have so much potential with a better singer.
0:16 that one chick who goes OHHhhh!.. Im freaking out!....
I like GVF a lot but I don't think they do this tune justice. Next time try "Strange Brew" or "SWLABR", maybe?
It's a tribute song and all You idiots out there who don't know nothing about music. No, it's His vocal range. Jack Bruce's got a different range. Just a tribute song to the great.

@@garymartin1045 🤣🤣🤣
it’s just a cover man, they paid tribute to ginger y’all, also music is subjective it can be good to whoever and bad to whoever
Why so high pitched?
He’s a tenor
Does anyone know what *faux-smoke* technology they're using?... is it dry ice err WHUT? I need that shyt in my condo for the Labor Day Weekend, lol...
This Greta Van Fleet's version of the song..not a straight cover though. Cream Live Vocals were not great either.
Didn't love it but you got to give them props for keeping it alive for the next generation.
Good attempt, the band rocks but the vocals are too high. At 63 ,
I certainly remember the original Cream.
Who wants to hear how Josh's vocals actually sound this tribute, go other channel, where phone's mic was more sensitive, listen to the White Room in other recording,
ruclips.net/video/yq97B3JA7fk/видео.html , sorry Ayumi Dangerrr
I love it!! Takes me back to my High Schools days!! Jake is equal to Clapton!!
So, they’re like, a classic rock cover band?
A below average one, yes.
Not exactly. One cover of a classic among a concert of original tracks doesn't put them in the cover band category.
@@drewbrees22best band in 40 years, incel
I knew Hobbits were real.
What's going on?
I like Greta but this is horrible. This isn't Josh's type of song. The drums are awful. Danny is an average drummer and he should avoid trying to cover a Ginger Baker masterpiece. The drums on this song are way out of his league
They made it thier own it wasn't horrible

Manu is right. Instrumentally this song is ok, but vocals are terrible
@@noname.___ Singer just can't sing to save his life. They need to find a new one or they'll forever be known as the Led Zeppelin cover band.
Not a Led Zeppelin cover band come on now they write their damm songs for Christ sake enough
Jack Bruce can still sing circles around these ‘vocals’ and he’s been dead for several years!
Thank you! I don't know why people love this kid's "singing"!
@@justinkase9483 Mostly teen girls it seems. The singer is awful but the rest of the band seems decent.
@@drewbrees22can you be more incel
The band was good, but the vocal was really horrible.
If led zeppelin did cream
In my opinion these guys should've made a career out of ripping off cream rather than zeppelin
Look at them now 😂 must feel stupid for saying that.
@@jacobmeister2026
its literally the same band, they did not become the next big thing and they never will
@@jokkergarthey are huge
The operation was a success, but the patient died.
Singer no shouts in this song!!
I guess buddy cant rip off Clapton as well as Plant. This version of White Room is a mess..
Butchered it. Not good at all. I love Greta Van Fleet, but this was horrible. Only a millenial would think this was a good tribute, anyone who grew up with Cream, would think this was crapola.
Actually listened to it again, Josh butchered it, his voice just wasn't right for the song sadly. Sam, Danny and Jake nailed it.
Josh sang it in his own voice, the way it should be, and Danny is better then average
Josh was straining in the high notes, but good effort, IMO.
@@kati1017 he wasn't straining, he always sings that way
@@klee8960 I think he was. He was pitchy. It was different than his usual voice. That song is hard to sing. It goes from way high to low...
This was just bad guys his voice was way over the top for this song sorry just not good stay with your music you are awesome with that .
batmany2k yea he shouldn’t have gone up octave on singing
What in the actual fuck... 😂 his voice
LOL
Singers hella cringy
They butchered this song! not good!
😳😬😅😂🙈🙉🙊
He has the worst voice for this song😂
This is one of the worst things ive ever heard in my life. How can you ever think that singer is good in any light?
Thank you!
Hey Grayson the worst thing is machine gun Kelly, so get over it because this rocks, it’s supposed to be a tribute
Wow, that's terrible
Wow, this is not what I expected. They really suck at this song.
Nem acho a banda ruim mas esse ficou ó... 💩
It’s amazing
Honestly everything sounds great except for the vocals, WAY too high dude, it’s out of your range man
Brock Rock Nothing like Jack Bruce. Sorry, his voice is not right for the song.
Parody... :(
Bad version
It’s a tribute, so what
very ungood lol
3/10
Instrumentally ok vocally awful
Muito ruim essa banda, imitação barata, horrorosa...kkkkk, péssimos músicos e cantor extremamente "estérico e afetado"!!!! Kkkkkkkkk🤣😁😆🤢🤮🎸👎🤬🏴☠️💩🧻🎙🦌
Just my opinion but I think they would be better off with a singer who could actually sing.
The Acoustics in this concert hall are terrible
Get off the Stage !!!
super gay version
It’s a tribute, who cares
Except Jake Kiszka is as straight as a man can be, but ok incel whatever you say
