Cream - I'm so Glad - Live - 1968-10-25 - Memorial Auditorium, Dallas, TX 

+james mcbride I saw them in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom. A good band, the best of both worlds.

Difficult x me to imagine Jack And Jimi in ThE same band. Agree about the rest . ThE rythm section of ThE experience was mediocre...to SAY the least... they were the First two musicians Chandler came across...Jimi himself had to teach Noel where to put his fingers one x one

Though I prefer Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell wasn't exactly chopped liver.

First concert at age 15

seems ur forgetting when jimi had buddy miles and billy cox as a rhythm section

@@NathanielRamirez2002 No I'm not. They were a fairly strictly 'rhythm' section. No surprises from Cox on bass (ever), just solid and dependable. Bruce & Baker cannot just be termed a "rhythm section". When Jack was playing lead lines - Eric was often chopping out chords or patterns that made him part of the rhythm section. Cream defied categorisation...

I was in a band and this time also and though we never got to see Cream we did jams of there tunes at gigs. The kid loved it. The 3 part harmony ending was a gas! A mothers Lament was a fav!

Dear George, I am the author of the book "The Who: A Million Little Memories", a collective memoir about the band made of hundreds of tales, anecdotes, accounts from those who were related to the band from 1964 to 1978 - friends, familiars, promoters, photographers. This is a work based on exclusive material and unseen pictures I have been sent by people from England and the USA. I have collected and featured fantastic materials from people who used to see the Who at the Fillmore Auditorium and Fillmore West, Winterland, at Woodstock and Monterey and many other venues. This book has been published in Italy in September 2018 by the renowned Italian music published Arcana press and it is highly looked forward by American and English Who fans. I am working on an expanded and updated English edition, with more material in it I am collecting from fans time by time. I'm looking for more material - tales, photos - and I was wondering if you could help me with that. All best, Ed

Experience? 3rd Stone ?

Have you ever heard about John Entwistle?!

+Barry Mcconnell : Bruce or Cassady? Both played basslines like solo guitarists. Cassady did "Killing Floor" with Hendrix at Winterland IMO the finest version of that Howlin Wolf song. Bruce was also a great songwriter, I liked his "Songs for a tailor" solo album.

John wouldve told you jack was the best in england of the time hence there name cream

Ian Bentley After i listen to Jack be the best bass player ever

+ Allan Sánchez I have heard about John Entwistle. He is/was very good. But there ain't nobody like Jack Bruce. Never was, never will.

それがベーシストの役目だからです。

3-POWERFUL-3 SUPERNATURAL FORCES EMERGING TO TANGLE UP IN MUSICAL OUTPUT

Not only THE power trio. Possibly the first power trio.

Indeed!!!!!!

Bruce lead vocal, by the bye.

Hey, I actually agree. I uploaded this when I was younger and a diehard Clapton fan. I was originally gonna put just the cover of the album but decided to use all the Cream/Cream era Clapton pictures I had collected for an Eric Clapton themed rotating desktop background I had on my computer at the time. I thought they would be more interesting to watch and since i already had them all on my computer, why not... but your right, they do focus too much on Clapton.

Yeah agree..don't care much for EC...he sold out. they should have continued without him. Trower or Rory Gallagher were rumored to be replacements. Saw them in 05 reunion and apparent Bruce and Baker were real driving force behind what was arguably the greatest power trio.

kanasatka1 Clapton was the weakest link in the band. This is flat out incredible. Sheer talent!

mud foot Clapton the weakest link! LOL Clapton defined this 'heavy' style of electric blues and everyone who came later copied him, especially his tone. Let's just say they were all equals.

+DucksDeLucks .. I know right? Nobody was a weak link in this band, all three of them were tops. Maybe that was why Cream didn't last very long though; you've got three super-talents, but also super-egos.

+DucksDeLucks Jack Bruce said they got a letter from Nehemiah 'Skip' James' wife thanking them for making sure he got his royalties for this song. Apparently it was a decent chunk of cash and helped the old guy live in some comfort in his later years and pay his funeral expenses.

Howard Johnston I would think it was fairly substantial since I'm So Glad appears on several live albums in addition to the studio one and was a concert staple for Cream, though all the live albums but one probably came out after James' death.

when Cream were touring USA, Jack paid him (or his family) a visit, to confirm he was getting the money from the royalties. on the contrary, look how clever Led zep were to appear as songwriters.....

If you listen to radio stations that play old obscure stuff you will regularly come across some ancient version of a song worked up by the Rolling Stones. The other day I heard the prototype for The Last Time. I had thought Keith came up with it.

@@DucksDeLucks Who performed it? What is that songs title?

John Pidgeon

ThE book IS great

charles Middleton 1966 through 72 was mind blowing.

I could never tell the difference between all the Gibson, s in Cream... Even though I have been listening all my life since 1981. The sounds I dig most are Spoonful studio (I guess it is the red stolen LP), Crossroads of course (335 because I read it🤔), and Sitting on top of the world live Goodbye. And the worst is the buggle in Wheels of fire studio... I don't know what amp was that...

I have also noticed him looking so different from one photo to the next .

I wonder How his hair could grow so quick

Sublime Music Channel Noticed this for years, particularly when Cream first burst in the scene and through the cream years.

He also had his Hendrix look which was rather ridiculous, with psychedelic shirt etc. but it might have been his manager's idea. In general Clapton was a style junkie. His Ybirds manager Gomelski commented on it, referring to his Ivy League look etc.

DucksDeLucks Maybe so. He did seem to follow trends, all trends quickly without hesitation. Personally I didn’t find his Hendrix look silly. Living through those times, for those of us who felt different then the homogeneous middle class repressed looks popular then these new things were a total surprise and a welcome change. Similar to many. It’s growing their hair longer as the Beatles did, when pot and acid began to influence the musicians we took notice. Clapton did too. It was a bag as much as a costume. Waving our “freak flag high,” to quote Jimi, and again here, “go on Mr. Businessman, you can’t dress like me.”, the colorful clothes and hair were all part of expressing our differences from all the uptight straights. Clapton just changed with every new day.✌️

Of course they noticed but they had to play on anyway didn't they and still make it work as well as possible. Sometimes the sound did cut out from one or other until it was fixed.

Or, as reported at the time, Clapton broke a string and they improvised a bass / drum solo?

it was so cool. They all looked like broccoli heads.

I read somewhere on RU-vid that Clapton's amp blew at about the 6 min mark and that they got a standby amp online for him shortly afterward. I'd like to know if that's true, interestong bit of Cream trivia.

yes, this is true!

If you can find it, try the Chicago Colosseum (it is often mis-labeled Civic Opera House) in 1967 or 1968. ;~)

MOST DEF

Sadly, the market for blues couldn't last forever so Eric wisely chose to "reinvent himself" rather than fade into history. I like much of his later work even if it's not the primordial thrilling sound of CREAM!

DucksDeLucks I think you're right about that, sadly. I miss that high-energy and powerful tone he was getting on those Gibsons when he was with Cream.

Jim Nesta Well, go get yourself an Epiphone Les Paul and a budget Marshall and go to it! Or if you can afford it the 59 reissue!

DucksDeLucks Sounds great, can you lend me some talent so that I could do a decent job on guitar. Seriously, I'd considered getting a SG and a tube amp but I finally decided to stick with the bass and see how far I could go on it. It still almost makes me drool when I hear Clapton or Duane Allman on those LPs and SGs.

You could always play both! Many do.

Fernando Renan Gonzalez That says it all.

Whelp.

Agreed, the Goodbye album is some of the worst live sound production in history, like someone covered the mics with duct tape. The performance itself wasn't anything special either. This is much, much better

The Goodbye performance was not good. The guitar sounded weak. This performance sounded more powerful.

Thank you, for telling exactly what I thought too, when reading that other, pretty crazy, comment! Yes, Mitch was outstanding, hand in glove with Hendrix, also with the kind of genius and innovative mind that Hendrix had - innovative and challenging - but always listening to and trying to understand Hendrix, and what ways he was going; both live and in the studio. A marvelous drummer!
