Dear Jack, love to thank - love to thank - love to thank YOU for YOUR lovely music and many great Songs over more than 4 decades. Say hello to Willie Dixon when you jam with him in heaven ...

I, for one, am grateful. It was a chance-in-a-couple-lifetimes for me to catch them playing in the Galil of all places. Great concert, great production. Thanks Bill Graham! In a GuitarPlayer interview Bruce said he was impressed at the audition for the new trio when Blues blew up a Marshall first thing.

[@RavenThom]

Love it!!! Yardbirds were great!

[@marceibel1131]

What? This was'nt Yardbirds, it was Cream..

[@richardhincemon9423]

@@marceibel1131 Eric Clapton was 18 years old when he joined the Yardbirds in 1963. Spoonful was written in 1960 by Willie Dixon and covered by many blues artists including Howling Wolf and The Yardbirds.

Wow- that kid has some chops. Check out around 7:30. Great chemistry with Jack and Ginger too. One of my favorite JB performances I've found on the tube.

[@RavenThom]

Totally! I am still a Clapton man

[@MikeInTheValley]

Well, this is a performance you don't see (on video) every day. Jack is out there-way out playing the 'nasal' vocal at the head-sounding like BOB DYLAN! Funny guy! Ginger has a nice spotlight on him and the 2 shot of him and Jack is interesting. I must say the flash guitar solo, the 'Blues" does is new and inspiring. Jack definately takes note. With Cream, Ginger would take Spoonful and rev it into double time for the solo sections full of climax's and dynamics. Here he is just keeping time.

Here from the Josh Smith interview.

this is really rather nice

[@drummer78]

In his new book, Ginger basically says he did such shows for the money. He also said he had fun throwing his cigarette butts at Blues Saracenco.

[@josephesposito3499]

Ginger LOVED playing and this was his prime year. 1990 whatever he said about $ he loved playing at these shows

[@DYNODRUM]

Ginger and "JACK"- NEVER REALLY NEEDED eRIK for nothing;saw,CREAM on The Wheels Of FIre Tour. Enough said...

[@janeythebrit]

me like

[@JHallia]

Actually about 6:30 the guitar solo starts to cook

[@gy4b70]

istbase is absoutely right. the further away from eric the better. just watch the 2000s tour . this is great stuff

[@shani012]

at 2:26 he batts one at Blues with his drum stick. Which reminds me: what has three legs and an asshole?

[@Guitarista129]

@shani012 ha ha ha, I think he hits him, too!

[@elpatoymio]

@tomitstube Page doesn't get a job, if Clapton doesn't leave the Yardbirds.

[@vazon69]

I think Blues is being paid By The Note on this song! Slow down, Dude, let the song breathe a litle! Jack & Ginger are great together on this clip, but Jack MUST move on from Cream. It's over, Jack, so get over it!

[@mosmisc]

Cream WAS / IS better than Zep and Bruce is as accomplished a bass player as Jimi was a guitarist. Neither afraid to step out and try something. Page is actually very overrated as a player. Great song writer. Mediorce player.

saw page greensboro coliseum jan '75, more impressed with his slide playing on "in my time of dying" than I was with lead playing. saw johnny winter jan '74 (greensboro coliseum) & he would have taken page to school & ate his lunch too !!!!
