Cream - White Room Live 2005

Live at The Royal Albert Hall
London
2005

[@jimblevins1442]

I’m 75 years old. Probably the best song I’ve ever heard. Second Stars and Stripes Forever. Third Proud Mary.

[@shagsmith3410]

At the end, Ginger was smiling at Eric Clapton. It's awesome. I hope you have a great day.

[@tonymatheson8122]

Couldn't agree more with you on this song - amazing musicians.

[@machone35]

a fabulous tune by all accounts

[@carybaney2548]

Many tired Starlings in the World. You observe correctly...

[@williamrepp9232]

This is the foundation on which 60's rock was built!! Epic.

[@ianvillmore8360]

What I love about this version is Clapton's vocals. He abandons the falsetto of the studio version and it adds so much longing to the song. You feel the alienation the character feels in this song, the envy. Clapton's delivery adds so much to the theme. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that Jack Bruce's bass sounds so huge that it can conquer the world.

[@GINGERKIDinc]

Claptons “yellow tiger” line hits perfect.

[@jenniferkosco6628]

Perfect post. Captured it just right

[@abdurrahmanabumikhayiyl7454]

Clapton and Jack Bruce switched on the last verse. Cream was probably the best in my book.

[@allenharris2549]

I’m not so sure Clapton abandoned the falsetto; it may have abandoned him. Still, amazing rendition. They were no fluke.

[@randybutler3779]

Great drummer buta sorry, sorry person. God bless him...,

Ginger was for several years a farmer in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. After that he moved to a very small town Tulbagh in Western Cape also as a farmer. They farm there only with fruit. Was news here in a local newspaper . RIP. . . .you still rock .

I was a little girl and my brother was given a record player from Santa…… I grew up in this era with natural musicians in my life… so grateful…. And now my daughters play this music at their parties etc. it’s real, it has meaning, they’re talented. I don’t even seek out the music now I just play mine…. This is one of them.

Jack makes it purrrrr phenomenal talent❤

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

....and his intonation is so good that it sounds like a fretted bass!

[@BIRISHPM]

I'm amazed they sounded so good after so many years. Not the cascading, avalanche of sound of their hey day, but what the heck they're all well into their sixties at this time. Never too old to Rock n Roll!

[@brianwalker-fx6jx]

Excellent

The supergroup was formed because they wanted to put togethor the best drummer, guitarist and bassist in the world, at the time. Even if they slowed down a bit, 50 years later, they’re still going to be really hot musicians😂

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

You compare a live recording to those multi-track studio records...no point.

[@andrewaharder]

Jack Bruce made fretless bass + singing look effortless

[@ericroessing3517]

Their influence on music in the 60's is beyond words; heard them three times in Chicago back then. Love Clapton's guitar especially --then and since.

[@anthonygutierrez3130]

Im speechless. No effort from Eric, he's such an amazing guitarist. And Jack Bruce with the vocals is a awesome writer. And Ginger is amazing on drums. What a performance by cream. Just legendary. 🎸🎸🎙🎙🥁🥁❤❤

I remember when this was released and it is so good to see all the young people in the crowd who weren't even thought of at the time rock'n out to one of the best bands ever!

[@dwayneterrell1915]

One of the best 3-piece bands of all time

[@ZiggyGreenthumb]

Jack Bruce is by far the best and most influential musician to come out of Scotland imo. The way he plays bass is just superb. With Cream it was just three musical superstars of there day. Anyone with an opinion of who is/was a better Scots musical tyrannosaurus than Jack please comment with your nomination, I would like to hear the peoples opinion. Zig

[@FishingForLobster]

The secret to Clapton's solos is that he just isn't going through the numbers: You can tell by the look on his face that he's striking each note with his own, personal emotion.

[@kippsguitar6539]

What on earth are you talking about

[@randy-yu5uz]

That’s a deep thought there ….

[@stanmeyer9770]

Even without the Wha wha pedal Clapton delivers the goods on this track. Jack Bruce on bass is pure magic and Ginger baker the heart beat of the song .

RIP Mr. Bruce, and Mr. Baker. 😔

[@FishingForLobster]

I just love the way these guys bridge the sections of this song and what a full sound out of just three instruments: Most three-piece outfits would require a slew of session players to get such a big sound on stage.

[@juliane3683]

Absolutely fabulous ! Great sound from three great musicians. And power and relaxation in the vocals which I’ve never been aware of before. Jack Bruce plays the most melodic bass I have ever heard. Ginger threads it all together faultlessly. And Eric shreds it a deep Blues. I love the way Jack nods Eric in after his first vocal and only wish, Ginger had also smiled at Jack at the finish. Perhaps I should already know why those two didn’t appear to get on, but I do not, and I have now resolved to find out the history. People are people and some just don’t get on. But the power of the music they created transcends and you would like to think… Could have healed any differences. Were they reconciled before their deaths. One can only hope so.

I was there that night and what made it so great (apart from the obvious of a Cream reunion which I had waited nearly 40 years for) was that Eric took way more risks in his soloing than he does with his own gigs.
