CREAM - Spoonful (Live) | FIRST TIME HEARING REACTION

[@robertthomas2312]

And I still have the album

[@jameskneubuhl9115]

Jack Bruce could only play this "free" with someone as equally talented as him like Ginger Baker. They bring their jazz experience into jams like this, while Clapton's guitar playing keeps the whole thing down to earth. Cream are still an inspiring example of what rock music can be.

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

That's what Cream was about and that's what they were the cream of the crop of, Live Jams ❤

[@stillstanding8286]

Jack Bruce in one of the greatest voices and bassists in rock.

[@raymind1313]

Yep!

[@raymind1313]

Just 3 guys.

[@raymind1313]

MUSIC!!!!

[@wilfbentley6738]

This is my favourite Cream.

[@jimmeltonbradley1497]

I haven't listened to this live version for decades. I'd forgotten just how stunning it is. Jack Bruce vocals and bass playing at their very best. You can tell from all that rhythmic improv that Bruce and Baker learned their chops as Jazzers. They were stalwarts of the British jazz scene before they ever became Rock/Blues icons.

[@randelyoder9446]

Been listening to this off and on since I was about 16 I’m 73 now best jam I’ve ever heard

[@chrisnicol1644]

You are so brave for taking on the full 16 min. Version... Once I heard this, I had to buy all things live Cream, including the 2005 reunion...

[@will-x9c]

Can't believe you did this. Bravo! Yes, they were blues-based. Clapton was a disciple of blues. Been listening to this since it came out, never ceases to amaze me

[@jons3808]

Ginger Baker, one of the best and most important rock drummers of all time. Check out Toad off this same album, Ginger’s amazing drum solo… and my favorite performance of Toad 😘

[@allanbluzdude]

Cream is absolutely my favorite era of Clapton, I was fortunate enough to see them during their farewell tour in 1968. As a guitar player, I loved the long jams

[@clifton8929]

1968 - On your mark...get set....JAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIINGGG!!!

[@craigreid7178]

Cream was Eric Clapton at his absolute peak. This was Jack Bruce singing but Clapton sang lead on some songs as well.

[@cynthiaweir5697]

Clapton absolutely worshiped the blues and this is his guitar version of it. It was genius.

[@patrickdoake6022]

Powerful sound from 3 piece group, 1st supergroup cream of the crop

[@raymind1313]

Saw 'em in 60's at the Fillmore in San Francisco. They opened up for the PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND. Played the next weekend with Michael Bloomfield's ELECTRIC FLAG.

[@klauslangner]

One,of the Best Song...ever...

[@louroberts79]

I'm glad to see someone young enjoying and understanding this band, Cream, back in it's prime. You understand what they started.

[@andreaschmall5560]

It was released in 1968.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

I love this jam, & have since I first heard it. Great solo playing by all 3. ✌️❤️🎶

[@markgallemore8856]

Cream recorded a the song called Anyone for Tennis, Eric Clapton, singing the vocals studio version and be sure to have a copy of the lyrics to catch all the little details of the story. It starts off once upon a time in the valley of the tears.

[@pierretoureille7359]

The ultimate jam band live

[@tommy8058]

Cream and the Who too were Geniuses making with own outstanding versions songs their own.🙂👍

[@IOSALive]

Shawn Salvadori, awesome video my guy

[@onoyudont]

It is as intense , and complex as the Indian ragas.And like i do when immersed in a raga, find new things previously unheard , and windup at it's finish spiritually light years from where i began .Take that from someone who unwrapped the album when it first dropped .

[@ericanderson8886]

Great jam, rough and raw blues. All three killing it.

[@munchkinmoonstone]

Next from Cream. "Deserted Cities of the Heart" from Live Volume 2

[@robertlear2712]

This is a cover of the same song recorded by blues legend Howlin’ Wolf in 1960.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Jack Bruce getting gritty, Mr. Clapton is just wailing away, and ol' Ginger, is keeping it steady.

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

Hell yes! NSU, I'm so Glad and Sweet Wine Live would be great as well! 🤟👹♥️

[@will-x9c]

Your channel is the best. You explore off the beaten path, not just "big hits". You boldly go where no reactor has gone before :)

[@gmgroucho77]

You might want to react to the original by Howling Wolf.His vocals are worth the entry fee alone.

[@dagmar.6954]

This was one of the super groups of the 60's. Everyone of the 3 guys (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker & Eric Clapton) was super talented but they also had big egos. So they didn't always get a long. They all came from previous successful bands. But in the few short years they were together they produced some classic songs such as "White Room", "Crossroads", "Born Under A Bad Sign", "Tales Of Brave Ulysses", "Strange Brew", "SWLABR" etc. Sadly both Jack & Ginger have passed away.

[@mildredpierce4506]

This was originally sung by Howlin’ Wolf.

[@scottrbloom]

Pay attention to Ginger Baker's drumming on this song. It's deceptively simple on guitar and bass, and believe me it's not so simple, but Baker's fills carry the song more than anyone first hears.

[@jameslapham3274]

Wow! I had forgotten about this version. I'm gonna have to dig out my old vinyl copy....

[@brotherbob3569]

Go head on. Jammin for sure.

[@jeffputnam3582]

Heard them do this live on a couple of tours. Mind-blowing experience both times.

[@emmanuelsantos4414]

É um belo passeio por um Tempo! Natal RN Nordeste Brasil. Abraço!

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

First album I ever bought

[@waltw4537]

Oh yeah. Here we go!! Ah! Thanks!

[@Rock_Snob]

Just 3 guys trying to outplay each other and that’s when the magic of Cream happens!

[@armandogarza6181]

Great jam here man, the rhythm section sounds pretty jazzy at times. Great improvisation! Check out Howlin's version, he's a bad man. Dixon wrote some classic blues tunes, peace Shawn.

[@CadillacL]

Its AMAZING! You any also want to check out “Stepping Out” from Live Cream Vol.2 0:01

[@KJ-4321]

Niceeeeeeee!!!! 😀

[@thomasjurgensen2086]

Just a three piece band just crazy

[@librarylady13]

😍😍😍

[@speckledone8899]

Great cover of a Willie Dixon song. Cream at least gave Dixon credit unlike Led Zeppelin.

[@Driecnk]

1968

[@TweedSuit]

None of this would work without Ginger.

[@Jestymesty]

I was born too late although I’m 65

[@60sbaby456]

At least we were little and it gave musical nutrition 😂

[@MickEMaus3000]

Could you react to Austin Robert's "Something's Wrong With Me."

[@stuBdoc]

A heroin reference, the spoonful being a dose after it's "cooked" in a spoon over a candle or lighter. Lovin' Spoonful may have been the same reference, although some say it's the amount of semen per...
