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.

Jack was actually a conservatory-trained cellist and singer. He also played piano (a requirement at Conservatories.) He was a child prodigy who won many prizes while still adolescent. He then moved into Jazz. He never saw himself as a rock or blues player and basically said that was Eric's job - he was Ornette Coleman out front. Little known fact, Jack transcribed all of Bach's cello lines for bass. (That's a lot.) He was really a musical man for all seasons. Check out 'Things We Like' for a surprisingly different Jack.

To my mind, those two tunes are the epitome of British '60s psychedelia (and they didn't get played to death on the radio). Eternal thanks to Eric, Jack and Ginger (three of the most talented musicians ever to grace a stage). Cheers and best to all.

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.

Ginger's happy... Which means EVERYONE's happy! And, given that it's live, the performance, 30 years or so after the hit-status of the original, is not only flawless, it's creative: Bruce sings the verse, and Clapton, the chorus, as in the original... And then, just for hoots, with the third verse/chorus, they reverse it. With all of their drama, in their short (interrupted) life as a band, I have to say it: If you put a gun to my head and demanded, "Who's your favorite Rock band of all time," I would have to answer, "These guys."
