The Recording is EXCELLENT...its great to Hear Bruce's Vocals and Bakers Drumming as Clapton just WAILS on Guitar...WOW! I Saw Cream June 1968 in Vancouver BC and they also Played long Songs. The Improvisation they did, was AMAZING.
I recall hearing about Cream coming to the Fillmore in SF for the first time and Jefferson Airplane had their own gig down south like LA which got delayed because Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Cassady went to check some of it out and were so blown away that they couldn't leave. ;)
Hey Super Dudes and Kitty Cats, this is from Great Britain in 1967. Keep evolving from here moving forward, you gotta get the New Age back on course. ❤❤❤ Cream !!!
One of the most healing albums ever, when I first heard it thought, Hey we must have been right. Eric Clapton is all we've got left. Take care of the Icon.
This long take on "Spoonful" shows how far out-there they were willing to go. It's like even they don't know where the music will end up, they just let it take them. This free-form approach pushes them to the edge of their improvisational skills, but they make it work. Clapton just BLAZES and Jack and Ginger live up to their reputations as fearless. This is the sound of musicians playing not for commercial success, but in pursuit of their muse.
Cream was so far ahead of their time it was actually too heavy for the time era. Only now can you truly appreciate the heavy group's talent like Cream and Hendrix! The supergroups of the '60s. Days of the jams and solos!
Yes, Vero one of the first supergroups a Evolving so rapidly that it immediately created the myth of the great bands, which still lives on after over 50 years.👍
Speaking as someone who experienced live both Cream and Hendrix I have to say that we did indeed appreciate to the fullest degree their talent. In fact those concerts changed my life!
@@pabloperez4063 OK Pablo, in Jamaica 1967 I met a Vietnam draftdodger hiding out. He had very long hair and was a Blues Rock artist. He first turned me on to Cream in his well decorated Crash pad, the cat was a Pacifist Revolutionary like Christ. From then I have loved Cream.
You are welcome . Then the "Cream" were already at the top of the success and were one of the first groups to review to play their extra long tracks in performances left in the history of music.
Yeah, I've been a Cream fan since the 1960s and played in a couple of half-assed Cream tribute bands over the years, trying to be Eric . . LOL. And this today . .Feb 13th 2022 . . is the first I've heard of this album. I wonder which of the live albums were raided for the tracks on this compilation? Sounds like Eric is playing his SG on these tracks, which would make it early in their time as a band.
@@pabloperez4063 . . That may be so for you, but I can usually hear if Eric is using his SG, his Les Paul, his Firebird, or his ES-335, on the Cream albums. They all have subtly different sounds when played through Marshall amps. I can't explain it in easy to understand terms but the differences are there nonetheless. 🙂
@@arthurblackhistoric This was recorded on October 15, 1967, at the Grand Ballroom in Detroit. This was their last concert of their first American tour, that started in San Francisco, on August 22 at the Fillmore West. Eric is playing his "the Fool" painted SG guitar. Songs missing are; Steppin' Out, Traintime, Toad, and I'm So Glad.
@@alanosterman7130 . . For a bootleg recording, it's not too bad. Definitely listenable, that's for sure. Thanks so much for the additional information. To someone like me, that's mother's milk!!

@@thegladiatorofrock1572 oh, and you,my friend, deserve infinite cosmic BJs, from the endless procession of groupies, who've long since joined the hum of all eternity, for posting such immeasurably genius work. (Thinking of changing my user name to Thesaurus Man) Peace !
Hi Friend Silas, you have written a nice comment. The Gladiator, It means only one thing, you see all the videos I upload, I send them first because I like them, second because I want them to be known to you. The comment that you did not understand, I apologize if I was not clear. The gladiator, he said that not only the first song is very beautiful, but the whole album is a true "Masterpiece" Fantastic of great music, some small mistakes I can do even I am a man. On the immeasurable choice as you say on the loading of "" Cream "" I would do it again not yet? But unlimited numbers of times. Ave Rock.😊😊👍👍👌👌
@@thegladiatorofrock1572 I was checking out your page. I gotta say, you have an extensive collection of bands that I have never even heard of. A band called, Acid? With an album entitled, More Acid, is definitely something I have to check out. Stay awesome, G.
What a piercing wah solo on the outro of Tales (...) - first track. I've studied Cream and Eric, but the wah wah solo just wiped me out. Imagine seeing them near the stage with good seats. Or standing room up front. Clapton was so bravely experimental during this period! Jack and Ginger full out. Stellar. Straining to hear Jack's bass genius on NSU. Somebody should just split out the bass as some tutorial RU-vid musicologist types can technically do now.
Turn and turn, you can study them as you wish, but they remain as unique as they were, as they were and all those pages written in the great history of Rock.
jack said cream was really two bands, they could craft a great album in the studio, live they were really a jazz band. their group improvisation really has never been matched in a rock context.
Very interesting that Cream's improvisations were seemingly quite improvised, in terms of how they got into them and the lack of recurring themes in their jams, in contrast to the Allman Brothers or the Dead, whose jams were more structured in comparison.
incendiary guitaring and blues genre extrapolations ala cream hendrix and robin trower seem so much more pertinent nowadays in these dark globalist times than they were in that violently troubled 60's period...................... thanks for the upload and greetings from tasmania
Thanks for the greetings from Tasmania, Supergroup of '67 where young people believed in generational changes, the music was real but many artists placed themselves near the computers to monitor all of us who try to help them introduce them to many bands that no one knows anymore. Hail Rock. Greetings from Italy.💪
When passers by hear this but album blasting from your digs ; they will say that Cat is not trapped in all this shallow sounds all around. Take care of Eric Clapton we still Love him !!!

@@thegladiatorofrock1572 Thanks these fantastic "Artists" motivated me to become a singer/songwriter/musician see on youtube "The George Edwards Group"........Drag City Records....
This is an amazing concert; the music sounds so vibrant and fresh! Do you know when and where it was recorded? Sounds as if it could be late 67, around the time of the legendary Detroit Concert.
Même les souvenirs sont importants. La réalité nous a fait vivre d'immenses moments, le réel a un tel point de doute, mais demandez-vous, suis-je éveillé ou je rêve. Viva la crème.🚲🚲🚲🛴🛴
The day day Cream stopped, I thought my life was over ! Then in 1990 I heard Clapton Unplugged and realised I was still alive - Hendrix was great as was Cream, I havent heard anything as good since ! I have all the Hendix albums and most of Creams on 12 inch
This is really outstanding. It's so fresh, exciting and intense. It's also pretty serious music, very pure and focused. Simply wonderful. Thanks a lot for putting this together.
The timing was right. Two jazzers that hated each other, brought together by the best blues guitarist around. From the small jazz clubs they brought the traditional "feature song", where each would have their chance to really blow. Then, when they played the Fillmore West, the audience didn't want to leave. They said, to just keep playing on and on, so the 20 minute jamming was born. With the new Marshall amps and wha wha, making sounds no human being ever heard before. Cream and Jimi Exp. were laying waste across America. Like the Monitor and the Merrimack, IMHO. Believe it or not, but at this time Eric was listening to the great Indian musician Bismillah Khan to influence his take on the notes on the guitar neck.
la! je suis intarissable!!!inconditionnel !!je suis!! joyaux sublimes psychés blues rock!!on sent la proto histoire du hard rock!!!trésors incandescents pour toujours!rip jack,ginger!!émotions et pensées.........
Les trois musiciens légendaires qui ont gagné l'immortalité de leur vivant. Mais ce qu'ils ont fait dépasse l'imagination. Ceci est un apéritif de 69 minutes. Ave Rock.👍👀
@@jong0000 Yes I agree and saw him with Tony Williams' Lifetime at Birmingham Town Hall in about 68/69. Absolutely amazing band. Dig out some vids/recordings you'll be impressed.
That moment in NSU around 11:10, Eric rolls off the tone knob. Cool, cool transition, and great drumming I those moments. With all due respect to the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream had them beat in the skill department as a group. Cream could pull off wonderful changes of dynamics in the middle of a jam.
Awesome performance. Excellent sonic quality. The only letdown It seems that the second disc is missing. Disc 2: 1.Stepping Out 2.Traintime 3.Toad 4.I'm So Glad
Can you imagine that the only Invasion going on in 1967 was the British Invasion of the Love generation. Detroit totally surreal while Cream are on stage. Beautiful Bay City 💙 just down the road.✌️❤️🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎷🍀🚐😎🥰
Ginger Baker had an interesting life in Africa (Fela) in the early 70s. Loved polo -- Took horse's everywhere -- Italy 🇮🇹 wound up with Him a Mother & Child -- smoked like a fiend, last, broke inter viewers nose with his cane. The Man was called Wheel's of fire living on a mountain in Africa, later and died a tough, but dangerous mad drummer (said affectionately).

They definitely were not lip syncing to studio versions when they played in front of this audience! Happened a lot on many of the old music videos from the era.
I wasn't there that night! however MR. Clapton, I saw him at a fantastic concert, also Ginger Baker, I was lucky enough to see him alive. However this album is amazing
