Cream - We're Going Wrong / Alternate Take (Royal Albert Hall 2005) (21 of 22)

[@michaelgraham2332]

I'm 70 years old , and simply said, the greatest musical impact , in my life , has been Eric Clapton.

[@joaquinsantacruz4338]

This song is not just a song, it's a experience.

[@dalegriffin6768]

Definitely, this is a drug fueled journey..Jack Bruce is a freaking beast on vocals & bass

[@darrylwiggins4799]

The sheer power in this man's voice is unmatched by anyone in rock today.And don't get me started on how excellent his bandmates are.

[@danielmacdonald8349]

The fact is Jack Bruce was basically a modern day Mozart. This man was not only an incredible singer - but also one of the best bass players ever. He played rock/jazz / the blues and every imaginable type of music you ever heard. Plus he was capable of not only playing a great bass guitar - but he also played a decent guitar/piano/violin/cello/and every other string instrument - and also some horned instruments. Oh - not to mention he was one of the best song writers of our time. His diversity is basically unmatched by any of today’s musicians. I know Eric Clapton gets most of the credit for Cream now a days - not that’s not the case. But surrounding Jack Bruce with Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton was an absolute gem in the music world.

Love how Ginger's drums in this song take over the solo melody part usually occupied by Eric's lead guitar, while he plays more of the rythym. Can't think of another song that does anything like this.

Just epic British blues rock. The band nailed it. I loved the album cut but this live version just tore my heart into. Jack's vocal so haunting.

[@gmansur]

Baker is like a river the way he keeps flowing and flowing and flowing and flowing. Brilliant. Masters. Goosebumps. Hypnotic. Listening to this song is one of my great joys. Wonderful lead by Clapton. For all of those who have commented on this song you are my fraternity of the mind.

[@3butalcomp3]

Greg Mansur heyy Greg, "Fraternity of the Mind". That's such a great comment, I had to think for a moment, u know, just about stuff. Then I pictured my first car, a '68 Chevelle 2dr, with just a 250 straight 6. On Xmas Eve 1980 I bought it. Was that a flashback? Maybe. I mean probably :) but great music and great memories have 2 things in common - flashbacks and goosebumps but not necessarily in that order!!

Dispute all Ginger's rage and contentiousness, he is arguably among the top 2 drummers in rock & roll history to date. Just my humble opinion

Eric Clapton at that time was the most gifted lyrical ,melodious blues / rock guitarist playing. His solos on Cossroads & We're Going Wrong never been surpassed.

I agree that live versions are almost always better than studio versions. Particularly when there isn't any syntho-crap mixed in. A simple trio of drums / bass / lead guitar really leave little room for post production to mess with it. These three legends really spill out their lifetime of blues in this particular song. You just can't get this from a younger group, even when Cream was younger. They really left it on the stage. Simply awe inspiring!

[@macmccreadie8541]

I am an 82 year old rock/ blues lover...played bass in a simple r'n'r band in the 1950s( Ha!). While I abhor Clapton' s repugnant racism & other dubious political stances; his phrasing as a player is beyond compare. Listen to the pauses in his solo , " Going Wrong" ...poignantly expressive. The Master.
