Not featured in the farewell concert film . Performed at the Royal Albert Hall 26th November 1968

I love how people are complaining about the videography. Other then not filming Clapton, you’re lucky you even get to see this. It was the 60s....

[@2323msg]

It’s not like it’s 1895, there’s plenty of great footage of Cream from the 60’s, this videographer made sure this wasn’t one of them

[@Rabmcm32]

BS . Film had been around for 60’years when this was made - no excuse for poor edit .

[@2323msg]

@@Rabmcm32 Exactly!

[@TweedSuit]

I agree. This sort of music was frowned upon by the institutions. We can thank Tony Palmer for convincing the BBC to video these last two concerts. Yes the editing is a bit heavy on the psychedelics, but all those sorts of things, effects etc were in their infancy and this would also have been a rush job to have it ready by Jan 1969. It was shot on colour video which was new and then transferred to 16mm film because that's the only way they could edit it and add the 'effects'.

[@TweedSuit]

@@Rabmcm32 It was actually shot on video which was very new in 1968... then transferred to film for editing and cinema release.

Such complexity from a trio.

[@josefinarodriguez7456]

Sad sight at the dstation.. In the White Room and duch a sad sight seeing this fantastic and for me the best group ever and if they would have continued they would have gone on to be even more mindblowing as they were! 😭😭😭Forever in my hearts these 3 magnificent and unique talented musicians!

White Room Lyrics [Intro] Vocalizing "In a white room with black curtains near the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves You said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time at the station As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves"

I was in the 8th grade in 1968 I rocked out 🤘I only listen to the best!!!

[@raymichaud5204]

Rocked it out in 68 Junior in HS what a band.

[@ronzant927]

I was 2 months old when this performance went down and I often think that I would sacrifice the time to have been able to be there (front row only though or directly behind Ginger to watch the greatest percussionist to live work his magic) but alas,wasn't in my cards.Thank God for the footage available to see and hear this moment in time.I got to see some of the great ones in the 80's though;Floyd,The Dead,Dylan,and the like.Cream is my fantasy show and can never be nothing but.I actually feel genuine sympathy for the complete trash and senseless noise that kids are force-fed nowadays.A real damn shame.My 18 year old son plays drums and was brought up on the classics and God be praised digs 'em.I gave him free will but the garbage doesn't appeal to him so thanks for large miracles!Long Live The Cream!

Cameraman suddenly took a hit of acid and completely missed Clapton’s solo, guess he thought Bruce needed more screen time.

Cream set the stage for Jimi Hendrix and was the first group to mix Blues with Rock, with improvised and sometimes long jams and some Jazz improvisations. Clapton’s introduction of the wah 😭 😭 wah effect gave the 🎧 listener an audio experience of making the music 🎵 translate into the impact of a☝️psychedelic experience. Jimi was listening 👂 to Cream while still an unknown in New York. Hendrix takes over the void left by Cream and also used a wah 😩 wah pedal and takes the psychedelic sound to another level. thank you 🎌 🚩 🧑‍🎤 🏁 👩‍💼👩‍🎓

[@carlaharker9081]

Why is there always someone like you that can find something they don’t like. I am just glad I can watch it. This is an old video We were excited when VHS tapes came out. Remember to see the glass as half full not always half empty. God bless you. I love just about all Christian music but as far as rock goes, sixties and seventies were the best in my opinion. I don’t know if you think I am right or not.
