Jack Bruce and Robin Trower - Politician

[@Murcans-worship-felons]

So many suns. So many stars. So many planets. Only one Jack. One Robin.

[@hobartchapel9515]

Very first time I heard "Goodbye Cream" Very first time I heard "Bridge of Sighs" Hooked and Cooked Best to you

[@douglasstaggs6796]

EXCELLENT

[@brandonsmothers8907]

Robin Trower is connected to that guitar… his soul speaks through it

[@paultreacy5248]

Robin Trower is the most underrated Guitar God of all time.

[@paultreacy5248]

He also makes the best faces when he plays.

[@jsamc]

That's why Eric never invites him to the Crossroads Guitar Festivals.

[@Pianoman999]

@@jsamc Cause he makes faces?

[@JJW556]

Jack Bruce, one of the greatest of all time. He will be missed.

[@sandytrunks]

Freaking Gary Husband on drums?! This trio is INSANE!! Love Love Love Love Love....😍

[@lastrada52]

One of the best ideas these two musicians ever had was teaming up together. More excellent work from Jack Bruce with another legendary lead guitarist. RIP Jack. Thanks a million for all the excellent performances. What a career.

[@ianking8574]

Wow -- the spookiest solo ever -- perfect for that song!!! Robin Trower still has the power ...

[@timhoovermusicman]

Just saw him back in May! And yes he does still have the power!

[@xblood1978]

Gary Husband was in his element in this band he rocks

[@trailerparkstudios7938]

Trower is so amazing it is rediculous a man can play with so much exspression.

[@timkjazz]

superb version, stunning guitar from robin trower.

[@Megamare1]

Trower feeling every note played 💯🎶

[@ploddolp]

And I saw an excellent version of this song performed by the Jack Bruce trio at the Congress Hall in Warsaw in 1992. They started with this song. The young Blues Saraceno played the guitar - superbly. On percussion was Simon Phillips. A delectable concert.

[@Zedwoman]

Best version I've ever heard as well. RIP darlin' Jack Bruce.

[@msaintpc]

Zedwoman Listen to it on the "Goodbye" album. Promise you'll love it.

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Zedwoman: I concur with m.saint... Here we are, 3 years later...still enthralled...as I was 40 years ago.

[@mikecarbone828]

Really awesome performance by all! I did not know Robin Trower performed with Jack Bruce, I would like to see more of this performance sometime. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨

[@douglasstaggs6796]

They released 3 albums with Bill Lordan on cymbals--I mean drums.

[@Ghost_Vulgarian]

Buy "Seven Moons". 🎶🎶

[@LaurieSavage]

I remember Robin Trower's playing on the first Procol Harum album knocked me out, and as for JB, Cream was amazing and then his work with Carla Bley knocked my socks off when I was discovering jazz. These old guys must have had such fun.

[@babsinjrzy]

RIP Jack Bruce - I love your voice. Thank you for every note you sang and played.

[@41Shyra7]

I love every version of this song,

[@pancholin368]

agree

[@glennmorris3370]

Amazingly Robin can add to jack Bruce's performance- and add equally to Bryan Ferry's performance ( taxi CD example) - amazing musicians all. ( Miss the tailor mr monkjack )

[@Vidiod]

Yes a great team-up! - Me and my friends loved their album "BLT" when it first came out, around 1981 ~ R.I.P. Jack Bruce ~

[@daveebryan828]

...yes. Yes. Yes. Glad I came across this, the day after America's favorite Geordie, Dr. Fiona Hill, testified before Congress. GREAT Live Rendition!!!

[@davidburford5253]

Such a good show !!!!!! Wish I could've been there !!!! Thanks for posting !!!! Love this tune !!!!

[@doughi1880]

OMG that guitar solo!!!

[@69buckandball]

Yes, best performance I've heard. RIP Jack Bruce.

[@lairenlakpammotilalsingh5199]

Three genius on display

[@lmh1874]

when I was small I always loved jack bruce ,my fav. bass player!

[@Kestrel-zc1du]

beautifull version!

[@bunnybgood411]

Jack is amazing no matter where you land in his ouvre.oeuvre. When he's young, in Cream, middle aged or older. He's always worth listening to.

[@bangcolt]

So familiar am I with the live Cream version, once Robin Trower started his solo I kept running it through the filter of Clapton's playing to where I just couldn't connect with it, even through Trower is a top 10 favorite guitarist of mine. But, after about a minute, as I let go of the Clapton comparisons, Robin took flight and made it his own. Great job, and RIP, Jack Bruce. "Apostrophe" is still my favorite all-time bass-playing tour de force.

[@gmsingh100]

Robin's solo seems like an homage to Clapton if you ask me.

[@Martin-tk7vi]

U 2 think washer is working. But it sounds different

[@kickinbackinOC]

Love the way Robin shreds it up!

[@wiseal9063]

2 guys that love what they do

[@tomoday4450]

Killer 👍🏻 Robin and Jack 👍🏻

[@ProgBartleby]

Simply fabulous!

[@jaymcd8577]

Both the last of their kind, truly! RIP Jack Bruce.

[@EdExploresScotland]

As soon as Robin played those first few chords Jack knew he had met his musical match.

[@paullevine1813]

Ed , That's simply not the case , he's done this live so many times & with some of the best ever , Rory Gallagher & Gary Moore are two . Everyone wanted to play music with Jack & he did his best to allow that. He was as awesome as they were. Remember they all came up in the same era.

[@EdExploresScotland]

@@paullevine1813 - Cheers Paul. I'll need to watch that video again. Time has a habit of changing opinions. If my memory serves me well, on facial expression alone, you sensed the respect that came from Jack towards Robin, and that respect was not always evident in his other musical excursions.

[@deepvoodoo]

R.I.P. Mr. Bruce.

[@bbooz]

amazing trio. nice post

[@andzwe]

They definitely get this one (more than) right, it even adds to the Cream versions, in some respects. Love the intensity and sometimes weirdness of the guitar-solo, especially the part at 3:56 Very good to see the late, great Jack Bruce enjoying it so much.

Thanks for posting this!

[@jazzisification]

A real drummer musician and two stylized rockers.

[@raygerard1614]

jack Bruce,un peu avant son décès ,et Robin Trower méconnaissable,mais quels musiciens +le drummer,TOP!

[@cookmoore3736]

Oh, Jack is a cute animated child in the beginning :) Havin fun, both in good company

[@jupitermoongauge4055]

Great little band they had themselves there.

[@MarcusBWolf]

Jack does a killer version of this with Rory Gallagher on guitar, as well...

[@mtbluzman]

seen that one, it's in my favorites, just killer !

[@howardjohnston6112]

Except of course - for some reason - Gallagher doesn't know how to play the guitar riff -surely one of the easiest riffs ever to pick up (since it follows the vocal melody)? Jack is great on that version - Rory completely lost :(

[@ddmiller1]

Are you serious?

[@LostMyMojo100]

Howard Johnson.... I'm pretty sure Rory and Jack were just goofing for the cameras

[@chrischoir3594]

Except Rory Gallagher sucks. Saw his with Rush in 1980 ..most boring set I think I have ever seen

[@niceillusion1]

Just F***ing STUNNING !!

[@jsamc]

Damn Robin nailed that MUTHA !!

[@ericbrooks8573]

hate to beat a dead horse, but, who "new" does anything that could touch this??What a groove...

[@periurban]

Trower has one of the best faces in rock.

[@barrypfost2963]

great stuff!!!!!

[@kudzuvine1]

This is priceless.

[@rockmassa4151]

Jack Bruce...fly high ❤️🎶🎶🎶👊

[@LaszloPanaflex]

Why can't anyone filming musicians simply let us watch them play? During Trower's solo, we get better shots of the mole on his neck than we do of him playing his guitar. Do cameramen go to concerts and watch every single thing but the musicians actually playing? Because that's what they point their cameras at.

[@sfeddie1]

LaszloPanaflex I agree. If this was a live broadcast with multiple cameras, then the director and/or the producer is to blame. they call the shots and switch from camera to camera. If the concert was recorded and later edited for release, then whoever bought off on the editing job is to blame. Not only were there bad shots, but there was too much flipping back and forth between musicians. Terrible.

[@mangolassi_.]

Couldn't agree more. I would never buy any concert DVD again.

[@victicious1]

Frustrated Film Directors obliged to slum it in R&R !!! :-D :-D

[@johnmidyette7563]

[@johnmidyette7563]

Seen Trower three times twice Bridge of Sighs tour, once during his Blues tour simply one of the Sixties power guitar heroes. One of my five top fav artist of all time.

[@hindubodhkongpala]

They do their "Due Diligence" at the blues rock business. Good for Jack.

[@richardsheridan5482]

great lighting/color-black-on-brown

Thanks Jack

MASTERS!!!

[@reignofterrorzion3211]

great classic lineup! I know it,s not Either Cream or Robin Growers band! but it,s one of those supergroup,s you only see once in a lifetime! wish I was there?

[@jimmytgoose476]

Better than Cream - the best third without the dickheads 😃

painfully sweet solo

great Version of Cream!

nothing to add just great

Best version with mr rory Gallagher!

Wow...Gary Husband on drums! How cool is that?!!! :-D

Love that OOMPH that Gibson Bass has here.

[@paulkerby4829]

Damn

[@mallard4998]

WOW!!!

[@jimmytgoose476]

My favourite band has a song called Trower....which eventually led me here . Rather hear him than Clapton any day .

[@oldhippy288]

Like they say somethings improve with age.

[@douglascarroll3980]

this drummer don't need no ques, jack and robin might as well be playing 2bl neck geetars. So tight. so fully packed R.I.P.

[@Steez51]

Man I wish I coulda seen that in person. Destroys Creams version.

[@bnastali]

Would love to view the entire concert, if that's possible! How can you beat these iconic players?

[@raymonddobos8896]

wowie zowie!!!..they broke that barricade!

[@frankpesco7723]

Robin is still, god.

[@farber2]

Jack did this with Rory, it rocked. this is great though.

[@taniafranca4426]

e uma viagem o que o universo conspira, porra sem feeling imortalidade para os undergrunds do hard rock blues

[@Improveng1]

Jack and Robin excellent of course but the drummer is fantastic too.

[@TheMauf]

The live Los Lobos version kicks some balls too

[@MrBobbet5]

Jack R.I.P.

[@jimdunmire]

Jack Bruce would have been a nice replacement for James Dewar. May they R.I.P

[@robertsanborn3974]

Jack and Robin did an album together called TRUCE you ought to check it out.

[@jimdunmire]

Yeah thanks! I believe Robin is truly inspired by Jacks soulful playing.

[@sealisa1398]

New singer touring with Robin is no James Dewar, that's for sure. Yes, may he rest in peace. No one can sing "Daydream" like him. So missed.

[@thomaswillson467]

Great choice!! I rarely comment btw. ;)

[@rdavis666]

Husband in his element as he was with Garry Moore/Bruce with N.S.U

[@guitarmanrommel3865]

Robert Charlie on guitar!!Was he joking or JB calls R Trower by the name we did not know. RIP Jack beautiful Bruce.

[@greatexpectations2307]

the live version where Jack mentions Obama. : ) nice guitar work from Trower. If Hendrix were still alive you would see this kind of thing going on today. slower plodding live versions of songs with scalding bluesy playing.

[@olddavid4]

I disagree. I believe he would be playing jazz.

[@vajrapani6474]

Obama? aka "Long Legged Mack Daddy"... now why would He try to make some sort of association between Barrack and ...uh... ummm... ...hmmm... ...!!??!! ...never mind.

[@Honestmanayr]

Brilliant version. When was this tour. Great upload.

[@rcjr.7725]

I know there are two Big Kats on the front of that stage, but let's give it up for that drummer also

[@geneclemetson4779]

Gary Husband on the drums!!!

[@omalleydp1]

Great drummer, who is he?

[@Dykhopper]

[@gmsingh100]

What was Bruce's comment on Obama?

[@andrewmcinnis6322]

Gary Husband on drums?

[@danielpestana6257]

It's an classical of Cream. This song uses the political concepts of right and left to tell a story of any daily event. That's funny.

[@michaelhayward7572]

Its a very Troweresque riff. As if written for him...
