video of the song NSU

[@russellparratt9859]

"Driving in my car, smokin' my cigar, the only time I'm happy's when I play my guitar". It has always been my favourite line in rock music, since I was introduced to Cream's music in the very early '70's.

[@Renhjarta]

Fantastic! Clapton playing a Swedish-made Malmberg "Telecaster".. now That's a rare sight!

[@F1Slunk]

The body looked like a Tele and then when the camera panned out , the headstock had me bewildered, Thanks for the info.

[@XyzXyz-pm2rj]

Funny. The time frame I mean. I first discovered BBB German disco concert @ 21 Coming back to them @30 and enjoying 60+ years jams. Too bad the full Bbbfrom 1966 is gone…

[@drprick7432]

I had to zoom in on the “Handmade by Malmberg” to see what it was.

[@geddonmeansome9834]

Jack Bruce had a brilliant voice.

[@RickRosePHX]

I recall seeing Led Zep, Jethro Tull and Santana at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, CA for 4 dollars. Those truly were the days. Sitting at the feet of Robin Trower at the Whiskey watching him play that first album. Watching Pink Floyd at the Hollywood Bowl with spotlights behind the dome creating a false roof listening to Meddle. Having to choose between going to see Otis Redding or The Doors. You could buy a new Gibson Les Paul for $500. Gas was $.25 a gallon and cigaretts were the same a pack.

PHENOMENAL! I'm amazed that this is the first time I've heard this track since about 1968!

[@Renhjarta]

That's a swedish made MALMBERG guitar. A very early and rare guitar.. This video was filmed in Stockholm. Mr Malmberg later, in the '70s, built a very popular model that looked a bit like a Yamaha SG.

[@Flatwin4ever]

Ah, the Tri compax of Clapton. Reference 881101/01 ... what a beauty !

[@qxpxqx]

"Written by Cream's bass player Jack Bruce, "N.S.U." was one of the numbers the band performed on stage from the outset. In fact, Jack had written the song for the band's very first rehearsal. N.S.U. is an acronym for "Non-Specific Urethritis," a form of venereal disease Eric Clapton is rumored to have been afflicted with at the time. The lads, apparently having a bit of fun, thought it would be a good title for the song." Haha!!!!!!

[@kaydee4296]

Really? Maybe Eric CLAPton was just having some fun with words too.

[@Cream1968]

It was a car company from Germany NSU motor works the first line of the song…driving in my car, smoking a cigar. The only time I’m happys when I’m playing my guitar. Those were the days my friend! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

When Wheels of Fire came out must have blown u away...like me. Always wondered what the band could do w/ a live version of "Sweet Wine".Then they produced Live Cream (or Cream Live) album. We're not worthy. 'Nuff said.

[@russellparratt9859]

[@russellparratt9859]

I've ALWAYS preferred the live version of this song, from the Live Cream album. It's an absolute blast of power. The album Fresh Cream sounds tame and restrained compared to the live versions of songs that came later.

Funny thing Is that I am so used to seeing Clapton with a beard and glasses now that I don't recognize him in these old vids. For a guy whose newer stuff rarely gets radio play he's still got a lot of exposure, wasn't he doing an iPhone commercial recently?

[@MorroccoM13]

Me either on the Bruce bass guitar. Only thing like it was the 6 string bass he played for awhile around this circa but it only had 4.

[@cynthialangley7338]

Legendary!

[@retrogradevids1]

Jack Bass is a Precision custom/knockoff in this video???? Ginger with just a single bass drum in his kit !!!! Clapton with a Tele thats got a Gibson style neck ??? I've never seen Jack with this bass except for this video. This ranks as the coolest lipsync performance I've ever seen.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

That was a treat thanks.

[@joniarmel7308]

Omg those drums !

[@scarey2me]

Every song was a drum solo for Ginger Baker. It was what fueled the end of Cream. Jack Bruce couldn't hear himself over the drums so he got a bigger amp to drown him out. Which made Clapton get a very loud Marshall to hear himself. It got ridiculous near the end. They all tried to be the centre of attention. It was the end of Cream.

[@cjsnidlio9409]

This must have been right at the formation of cream. Not a Gibson in sight

[@BBBlackDog1]

Hi Don`t know what they meant, but The N.S.U. `s most popular are a German Car company that developed the Wankel engine before Mazda, and Non specific uretha (think thats spelled right) a term for a variety of sexually transmitted pox`s, my guess is the second, but to be honest I`ve no idea what they meant by it. Anyway. WHAT A GREAT BAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@naonao1896]

クラプトン若い時は顔違うなあ～

[@KingHellstrings]

It's probably a Danelectro neck, as Fenders and Danelectros are the same scale length. You couldn't put a Gibson neck on a Fender because: a) they're set neck; b) the scale length is different.
