Both Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce have since passed away, Eric Clapton is the only member left.

[@billrehberg9271]

As good as Eric is the other 2 were actually making him work hard as heck. I think that the drumer and base player were older and 2 of the best players I've seen and or heard.

[@shyshift]

Chod, the definitive version of Crossroads lives in Wheels Of Fire Live at The Fillmore West It’s insanely good.

[@shyshift]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHrKiWebZ79sh80

[@zosomoso]

I do think that should have been the first version to listen to. But honestly I’ve grown to really really like this RAH version. I like that it’s bouncy and slowed down.

[@tommccafferty5591]

I agree. The Wheels of Fire version is better.

[@robertlear2735]

I agree. The Wheels of Fire version was much earlier and faster and blows this one out of the water.

[@michaelwoods9005]

*the fillmore auditorium in San Francisco. The Fillmore East hadn't opened yet and this predates the Fillmore West.

[@killiansred1000]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the bass guitar had no frets. That’s someone who’s mastered his instrument.

[@lisarainbow9703]

This reunion tour was incredible, it was their first time playing together as a unit in 30 years, and they only did 6 shows-- three in London, and three in New York. I caught one of the nights at Madison Square Garden, and I had goosebumps all night....

[@richdiddens4059]

When they first got together they were briefly known as "The Cream" but that didn't last long. This song is a much modified cover of a 1936 Robert Johnson delta blues song. White Room is their most popular song that you haven't commented on yet but my personal favorite is Tales Of Brave Ulysses. It has a ton of classical references and British culture.

[@kevinmarsh8922]

"Strange Brew", nuff said.

[@donaldb1]

This is from a reunion concert many years after they broke up. It's good, but I think a lot more mellow than their earlier version from the _Wheels of Fire_ album. I think that's probably worth checking out, even having heard this. Also, for more Cream blues, check out _Born Under a Bad Sign, Politician_ and _Sleepy Time Time._ And for something more psychedelic, _SWLABR, Tales of Brave Ulysses,_ or _We're Going Wrong._ But I think also, you should listen to their live version of _Spoonful._ It's incredible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6rQaH-pps9sZsU

[@rk41gator]

Same musicians. Eric is still a 'god'.

[@trevorholden7423]

I agree with you Donald, and as wrong as this sounds Eric played better on drugs, and the rest of the band played better with Gary Moore in BBM..

[@windnchgo]

A real test of an artist is how well they play live and Cream passes with flying colors. No fancy choreography, explosions, effects, tape loops and samples to cover for the inadequacies of the artist. Just pure MUSICIANSHIP!

[@shanefrancis368]

Ginger Baker one of the best drummers ever

[@obbor4]

From this concert the song to hear/see is 'We're Going Wrong.' Jack Bruce wailing vocals and the "cream" of the show!

[@tednemtzow2796]

No drummer should bypass "We're Going Wrong"!

[@davidr6026]

Love Cream.

[@the_judge_8262]

Ginger Baker on drums 👍🏼

[@TheCornishCockney]

This children,is what us oldies call a Supergroup. Pass it on to YOUR kids.

[@donaldb1]

Yes, originally, they were THE Cream, back when all the bands had a definite article.

[@viniciusfuhrmannlax1251]

3 masters of theirs instruments. You should check the 'wheels of fire' version, it has argubly Clapton's best guitar solo, and one of the best ever.

[@j.jennings1722]

This song was written by Eric Clapton's Blues hero, Robert Johnson, way back in the 1920's. Johnson influenced him and Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top and SRV and Aerosmith and many other groups. Robert Johnson is an acquired taste, what with it just being him and his guitar on every song, but the incredible guitar playing sometimes sounds like it's two people playing instead of one. According to legend, he met the devil at the crossroads and sold his sold to become the greatest blues guitar player in the world. It doesn't sound like he's getting crazy on the guitar, due to his subtle playing style, until you focus on the guitar instead of his unique singing style and realize how great he really is.

[@billythedog-309]

..way back in the thirties...

[@jgefroh6692]

Another gem from this concert is Rollin and Tumbling, the harmonica is a main feature, well worth a listen

[@the_judge_8262]

Chod, so glad you're getting into Cream 👍🏼 this was their long awaited reunion tour many years after they split up. For contrast check them out in their youth in the farewell tour also at Royal Albert Hall but in 1968. No need to react to it, just enjoy it 👍🏼

[@the_judge_8262]

Oops, here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ-tn2uOl7WYgcU

[@genabourassa7962]

Did anyone see Brian May in the croud I was surprised, great

[@zunbake3]

Arguably the greatest of all time at each position!

[@UnionAlley]

4:36 Brian May from Queen 5:14 Bryan Adams

[@alfredristan3445]

Thought I saw Christiane Amanpour earlier on as well at 3:57

[@rtwbikerider]

Jeffrey Laurie, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, appears in the audience as well.

[@keymack2477]

Thanks again for the reaction, Chod! I get so much enjoyment out of spending time on your channel, that I really have to give you props! You have to be one of the best musical video reactors out there! A few songs by "The" Cream I would recommend to you are "White Room", "I'm So Glad". "Strange Brew" and "Badge". Enjoy the trip!!!

[@kevinmarsh8922]

Robert Johnson Song. Eric Clapton's hero in the 60s.

[@purplehead9157]

Great band, great song. If you get a chance check out the guys performing tbis same song in 1968. I just finished watching it and your review came up.in.my feed.

[@kurthooker4370]

Like 3 amazing solos that firt together like puzzle peices.

[@ScottDeBerg]

Anyone notice Brian May nodding his head in rhythm in the audience? This was a monumental reunion of a legendary band.

[@sooty951]

Live version of 'I'm so glad' on Goodbye Cream album has some of the bass playing & jamming you'll ever hear..

[@mikewood6071]

So cool that the camera cut to Brian May in the audience (Guitarist for Queen) Great guitarist appreciating a great guitarist

[@robertasirgutz8800]

I just take for granted this music is that's the soundtrack of my life.

[@lynda3860]

Jack Bruce on the fretless bass has influenced so many bass players as he was the 1st to show what you could do with it. Fantastic song writer also. As I am Scottish just like he was maybe I am biased but I love his singing voice also. Great review

[@VegasAlien1]

Kudos to the soundmen making the kit sound gigantic.

[@richardbarton6146]

I miss them soooo much. RIP. I have always loved the Ludwig kits (snare), But the DW shells give it a good full sound..and resonance.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Lynyrd Skynyrd did a cover of this on their ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD, album, that was recorded live at The Fox Theater. It was a concert to save Atlanta’s Fox Theatre. You’d love that version, I’m willing to bet. You’ll love Artimus Pyle’s use of the double bass drum. It’s phenomenal.

[@slimpickins9124]

First time seeing this performance, thanks!

[@brettnheather]

The first great Power Trio. Thanks for the reaction.

[@Isleofskye]

Great Reaction to a wonderful Group featuring Eric, Jack, and Ginger Baker. So 9/10, my friend. One of Eric's 200 appearances at The World Famous: Royal Albert Hall in West London... Why not 10/10? lol.......You could have held on a few more seconds to see Jack and Ginger combine to re-introduce Eric so he could receive his deserved ovation but you stopped it short and you could have glanced over and seen there were a few more seconds left on the video for a reason....:)

[@Isleofskye]

2 years on and sounds as good as ever...

[@tommathews3964]

RIP Jack and Ginger, you are missed! Jack was magical on that fretless bass! Considering it had been about 37 years since Cream had played together, and considering their ages and physical ailments, the reunion run at Royal Albert Hall was pretty damn special! As others have mentioned, you should really do the "Wheels of Fire" version of "Crossroads" and compare the two. It's a damn shame these guys just could not seem to get along. No telling what kind of great stuff they could have produced in addition to what they did!

[@bbiermanster]

Eric Clapton was in a band called The Yardbirds with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Ginger Baker is a legendary drummer that inspired so many.

[@terrysavoy6290]

Baker, Bruce, Clapton, nuff said!

[@dwhite849]

This is a tribute to his guitar and blues muse - Robert Johnson- Mississippi blues. the god of a lot of guitar players to some. Supposedly he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his ability that trade was set done at the "crossroads" outside outside his home town. His grave is in the middle of nowhere but is visited over 10,000 times a year by strangers

[@hippiejoe969]

JACK BRUCE ON BASS , GINGER BAKER, ON DRUMS AND ERIC (SLOW HAND) CLAPTON, ON VOCALS AND LEAD GUITAR. AMAZING PERFORMANCE. LOVE THE SHAMELESS PLUG FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES! !! HOPE YOU GET THEM , I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE SO MANY MEDICAL BILLS, I GET YOU THAT SET. PEACE CHOD, HIPPIE JOE

[@terryminator4208]

I'll ship those out right away. LOL. Have a happy birthday btw.

[@ray-moeadayinthelife9754]

Suggestion....Sweet Jane....Rock and Roll Animal!!!!

[@billdomitilli8125]

If you look up "In the pocket", you find this. Virtuosos all.

[@ryanjsgrandma2009]

I hope u get ur DW some day! You deserve it, ur bringing my music to ur generation. Thank you sir peace ✌️

[@dlewis5631]

The guitarist, Eric Clapton, one of the greatest ever! You won't run out of great songs from him. The album Derek and the Dominos, where he teamed with the great Duane Allman is probably one of the best albums of all time, of course next to the Allman Brothers Live At The Fillmore East

[@ray-moeadayinthelife9754]

Chod listen to Rand.....The version from Wheels of Fire is the Ultimate Guitar Solo at the End!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@peterbartolomeo956]

Clapton Beck Page all played together with the Yardbirds...mid 60s Three GREATEST guitarists ALIVE

[@kurthooker4370]

The Wheels of Fire version showcases all three musicians talents and it will change your life in a very positive way, the way it did to all of us.....amazing guitar, bass and drum playing as well as amazing singing. Check it out. You'll see what we mean.

[@alsleet442]

the version of Crossroads from the Wheels of Fire album blows this away it has one of the best solos

[@OroborusFMA]

NSU on Live Cream, Volume 1 (1970).

[@vrvaughn]

If you go to Facebook messenger I put a link for Eric Clapton playing Pretending from one of his solo records. These concerts were played as a reunion 37 years after they broke up.

[@anthonyf8121]

Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood live at Madison Square Garden! “Little Wing” and “Double Trouble”! Thank you

[@corbinsmith477]

OK you liked them over 40 years after they released this song. Thank you for reacting to them, now try White Room from the Wheels of Fire album.

[@bangmon1000]

Great suggestion.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Saw David Gilmour's wife and Brian May (Queen) in the audience. Wish I could buy you that drum set you want. RIP Jack Bruce (bass) and Ginger Baker (drums).

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

*RIP GINGER BAKER and JACK BRUCE..... Long Live ERIC CLAPTON*

[@annmills3163]

Cream of the crop ☮️💜

[@stretchgilbert]

The first Super Group

[@stevefoulston]

Pretty Kool for a bunch of old dudes peace out.

[@dlewis5631]

Something different, from Atlanta, Mother's Finest, Piece of the Rock!

[@ray-moeadayinthelife9754]

This was the first "Super Group"

[@avantprog6902]

Damn, I gotta watch this again.

[@picolo4102]

Derick and the dominoes. Bell Bottom Blues

[@looneygardener]

Amazing band, everyone is the goat

[@sherryarflin726]

Cream of the crop!

[@genov9374]

Toad from the same concert (drum solo by a 67 year old master), Tales of Brave Ulysses studio version off Disraeli Gears album--Yes they are the CREAM

[@matthewpaul1111]

Cream of the Crop!

[@stevewalsh4850]

Greta Van Fleet “Highway song”, Safari Song” , “Flower Power”

[@charliecochran3035]

Yeah that was awesome, but I totally agree with the comments about seeing the older version. It's the same song much faster and noisier. It's amazing.

[@larrybailey3811]

Albert Hall Cream Reunion tour; 2011 the Ginger Baker drum solo on ""Toad"; would love to hear your reaction to it. Mr. Baker is one of the best drummers of all time.

[@johnnyjohn8195]

ill pitch in 5 bucks! Thanks Chod!

[@nlumby]

...supreme drumming

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

In the same concert, check out the song called White Room.

[@cybore213]

This performance seems a little tame compared to live versions from the 60's. Don't get me wrong, this is a great performance also!

[@ronaldelliott4373]

To every young listener. While I enjoy Reaction channels, like Chod and others. Some of it is hit and miss, because their still on the learning curve. No judgement, I actually admire their journey. But the seminal rock moment, and version to hear, when everyone took notice, ( a hair before Hendrix broke) was Crossroads live at the Filmore West. May 67? If memory serves. Thank God someone rolled tape that night, on this, “one off” masterpiece. This and Mountain’s, “ Mississippi Queen” remain my favorite 3 minute blasts in R&R. Regards to all.

[@joeshmoe9629]

Anytime solo/ cream/ Derick and the dominos/ anywhere the Eric Clapton is on stage is going to be a awesome thing If you want to see his other side the absolute is MTV unplugged Layla or Tears from heaven

[@gillesmorin9439]

Great bass dangerous !

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Jack Bruce.

[@loriclarke3406]

Tales of Brave Ulysses is a great Cream sing, if you're looking for more.

[@johnwdaley4727]

Hi Chod, as a fellow drummer, enjoy your reactions...if you want to see Eric go nuts, watch "Old Love", "Five Long Years", & "Voodoo Chile", all live, of course...keep it up, good man...

[@stephenurso9267]

4:35 that's Brian May from queen in the audience!!

[@avantprog6902]

B Ginger Baker! Self educated. God given talent.

[@doriwiljt]

This was their amazing reunion show. I suggest watching an older live version too. It’s a faster tempo

[@eclecticwitch6669]

Eric Clapton and Cream!

[@azureoval]

Brian May from Queen in the Audience !

[@GETole]

If you like the bass, listen to the original studio version OR any LIVE version of the original take. Phenomenal.

[@donkunes8630]

Goodbye Cream live 'Toad' Ginger Baker solo

[@rbking9296]

You need to listen to the song Toad from this concert you’ll love Ginger Bakers drum solo

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Eric Clapton, what band wasn't he in and who didn't he play with? If you want a rabbit hole to go down, he's it.

[@nealgold4927]

If it hasn’t been suggested yet--take a listen to ‘Spoonful’. As a drummer you’ll truly appreciate it. Late 60s early 70s and Ginger Baker going to town on the skins.

[@dadmateryn8092]

the original was live as well but holy moly Eric really rips on that gi-tar (on the original)

[@toots19]

Ginger Baker was a jazz drummer, great group, reaction!

[@johntash5895]

I've been asking for reactions to this show for two years. From your enthusiasm for Jack's bass playing, I would recommend We're Going Wrong from the same show. There are two tracks of that song, react to the 'alternate take', its a showcase for Jack's bass playing and vocals.

[@zosomoso]

Was that Christiana Amanpour in the crowd?

[@romanrodriquez3816]

the bass and guitar really battle for lead in the song Sitting on Top of the World. You should do the album version of that song

[@beatledad]

chad from this same concert ..you should review the song TOAD amazing ginger baker drum solo

[@leonmorgan5659]

Best to check out cream in their prime not when they were pensioners in a reunion concert

[@margiemcpeak9304]

💯 I really LIKED Cream; but, I've LOVED Eric Clapton FOREVER‼ I've seen him in concert multiple times & EVERY SINGLE TIME was an amazing experience‼ The man is a legendary guitarist, singer & songwriter‼ Clapton is the ONLY PERSON inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame THREE times‼🔥

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Brian May in the crowd at 4:37

[@marydavenport800]

@3:59. Is that Gislaine Maxwell? Anyway, love watching your channel.

[@sherryarflin726]

Oh my gosh Chod, you have to react to White Room....one of their best!!
