Cream - Strange Brew

[@stevelarge]

Was 16 when this was being played at every pot-filled flat I ever walked into - would I go back to those days if I had a time-machine - you bloody bet I would!!!!!

[@psychedeli_]

Yess pot goood 🕊

[@bossman1774]

Bet you loved the high notes

[@meme-tg6hr]

This music is why we can't hear anymore. And I loved the 60's music.

[@michaeljulia6069]

Rest in peace Ginger Baker. 1 hell of a drummer loved his style of playing. 1 of Rocks greatest drummer of all time.

[@mfrost71w]

I was in the QEQM hospital in Margate back in 2019 when I heard two young male nurses/orderlies chatting in the ward saying something about "he's supposed to be a famous drummer but I've never heard of him". This pricked up my ears until I finally heard the name "Ginger Baker". I butted in saying "you're telling me that THE Ginger Baker is in the next ward?". I never got up the courage to visit his ward and he died there a few weeks after I got out.

[@kinkybeatle]

I remember 1967 when I went15 miles on my bicycle to come to the record shop to buy this one on a 45, and I still have that record. Such a great track !

[@TheAdam1995]

This is music for high people.... and I love it.

[@philipdalton1000s]

+Adam Janaway Film Studios All pop groups were taking drugs at the time of this song's release.

[@aussierule]

[@lorin9129]

Pretty great for drunks too!

[@zekemarzell2861]

Marcus Boggs not the same

[@elainebmack]

You can really hear the strong influence the blues had on these young fellows from England, nowhere near the Mississippi delta. Great music knows no boundaries!

[@tommason2568]

You’re right. Cream was the best bassist, Jack Bruce, best guitarist, Eric Clapton, and best drummer, Ginger Baker. I was in England in late 60’s and they just blew me away. Cream of the crop indeed.

[@slickraider5027]

A very underrated song. One of the best. Very talented members.

[@Ida-iu3uj]

It's really unbelievable to look back on - Jimmy Page's former bands too.

[@sandsoftime1954]

I still can smell the Jasmin incense and pot in the air. See the posters glowing in the dark and hear the steam radiator clicking on and off on a bitter cold night in Boston 1968.

[@kennyroberts7989]

hell yeah brother! that's the stories I love to hear! happy trails man

[@sandsoftime1954]

Kenneth Roberts LoL, thanks for the shout out. I got to be honest about it, I was just at the right place ,at the right time no more ,no less. Kind of like being in a Rick and Morty excellent adventure and not really knowing it at the time. And Happy Trails to you, too.

[@kennyroberts7989]

+Sands of time hey man I dig it, none the less you experienced it, your welcome man atleast you appreciate the music and moment man

[@sandsoftime1954]

Kenneth Roberts What you say is true, I do appreciate the music as well as you do I mean here we are posting on a page of a song. that was recorded 48 freak'in years ago. You wouldn't be here if you didn't have an interest. After almost 50 yrs. who's music is it ? It's got to be your music too, if you say its so.Your memories of a song will be what you mind recalls of it years later down the line. One question for you if you don't mind . Do you actually have a copy of the Happy Trails Album by QMS ?

[@arminiushermann09]

Kenneth Roberts Hell yeah. The 60s!!! The music, the cars an people's stories is what I want..

[@claygreen4723]

Cream is the best example of less equaling more. Three instruments are plenty IF those three are played by the best.

[@stoprejectingmynames]

One of the, if not THE, greatest power trio of all time. Eric Clapton's guitar, combined with Ginger Baker's manic drumming and Jack Bruce's cool bass and steady vocals, completely rule.

[@jodachus]

On every 1, 4, 5 change, Bruce lands on the note and hits it twice--everytime! This makes for a thick bass--not just to the bass line itself, but for the whole song. It's cool!

[@justintylerbomar8052]

right it intertwines with the guitar and the two make one complete instrument that is how I encourage our bass player to write basslines that counterpoint the melodies, harmonizes, adds rhythmic variety ...he has come a long way.

[@antcif]

Jack Bruce was one of the best bassists of all time and this song really shows it

[@alexandraseelye3735]

Yeah. .. Jack Bruce in the pocket!!

[@dank2459]

Cream was together for just over 2 years. It's amazing how much they've done in that time

[@ShamsArifin-pj3bz]

Egos have destroyed so many good bands

[@flynntaylor5459]

Clapton always in high demand cream, derrick and the dominoes, yardbirds, and his own solo stuff 😎💟 legend beyond the legends

[@roberthayes8008]

If only ginger baker had NOT started heroin.

[@jmetallover]

@@@roberthayes8008 So true but Bruce wanted the Marshall amps higher and Baker wasn't going to drowned out and that really started them at it and the drugs, well we know how that always goes!!

[@privatenumber7243]

Cream sired many a heavy metal child. I was one of them.

[@producedan]

Listening to these awesome tunes is like having a Time Machine!

[@bennyjazzful]

Brilliant group performing a great song!

[@raine0acid]

Hippy music, love, peace, happiness who can complain?

[@ianprescott7924]

This is a fucking perfect song. Simple but super fun rhythm guitar, tasty lead licks all over the place, drumming is right in the pocket, groovy bass line, and the vocals and lyrics are just the cherry on top

[@neff49]

The perfect album with the perfect musicians.

[@jonsheehan4715]

This song has an amazing atmosphere around it...

[@josiespringfield4808]

One of my favorite songs by Cream. RIP Ginger Baker.

You have to be a real classic rock person to appreciate this song, it's a classic in every sense of the word

[@MrRonnieG]

Saw CREAM in a 1968 concert at the old Melodyland in Anaheim, California; Eric Clapton on lead, Ginger Baker on drums and Jack Bruce playing bass. These guys were the BOMB back in 1968 ~ Strange Brew is one of my all-time Cream favorites along with Crossroads, Sunshine of Your Love and Born Under a Bad Sign.

[@62M.St.]

Very cool light show - great audio/vid! Cheers, '62 Mathew St. (Total Retro Rock)

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

classic blues rock track, from the supergroup kings cream.

[@audreyloma3304]

Early one... in Rock Blues man Eric Claptons career. The three of them together though... just plain... Rocked !!!

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

Audrey Berindey i know darling. so with you there, here is one for you who was eric's first band.

[@timages]

Not many opening tracks can compare to this. Their finest album, to these ears anyway, and some of the best English Rock ever. Jack Bruce, that voice, that bass, he wrote most of the band's material...you were great!

[@lulli3968]

Awesome Cream, great song.

[@MrRonnieG]

Saw these guys, Clapton, Baker & Bruce, in 1968 in Anaheim, California. THIS, of all their great songs, was always MY favorite.

[@lisafury419]

Excellence...my favorite by Cream 💋

[@harrylastinger3541]

Perfection. R.I.P Ginger Baker

[@uncletommy4391]

What a performance. Bruce was fantastic. Clapton never came close to this level after Cream.

[@terrapin6352]

Uncle Tommy I agree. Derek and The Dominos had some nice hits, but he has since retreated into the realm of "old-timey" blues.

[@nufctillidie1743]

Terrapin clueless only clapton haters say that shit

[@midgette11]

Uncle Tommy what?????!!!!

[@tenacious645]

easily my favorite song on this album!! such fond memories of smokin and delivering pizza with this album BLAIRING! ahhh high school was fun

[@geminiwednesday16]

For hours upon hours I would play my "Cream" records...this being a particular favourite. Over and over I would listen to it. I simply adored the music,the hypnotic lyrics and felt I could relate to it so,so much. I was never really "one of the crowd"...I suppose I really WAS considered strange way back then....after all,how many young girls in love with Elvis could say they preferred Charles Bronson??!!!.....I was far more into rugged than pretty,lol! I had school-girl mates back in the 60's who were then considered "cool"....but I'm afraid that was never me.....and I really didn't worry about it because I was always "me" somehow and knew it couldn't change. Strange Brew.......maybe a bit unpalatable at first taste but hopefully better with age??!!...lol!!! Sounds like a superb song.....bewitching,even!

[@StuartJessiman]

The best cream song. As I move into later life I try not keeping turning back and listening to the old favourites and there is some great stuff out there right now. Yet, inevitably I find myself returning to Zepplin, Cream, Jeff Beck. Maybe they found the chord and everyone today are just rehashing it. When in the gym I get to hear the factory sound of the music industry's latest turn out. Sweet boy, beautiful girl singing songs that are so incredibly forgettable. It's awful. Anyway, back to Jefferson Aeroplane. Goodnight.

[@linglingjr]

+Stuart Jessiman That's the beautiful thing about the internet. People that were born decades later can hear all the great music from any era and any continent even.

[@tomworley160]

Love it! was same way to an extent. was a little social, but spent more time in my bedroom listening to, as my dad put it, that crazy ass, long haired shit! ha-ha!

[@MichaelSmith-jw8qw]

Cream was light years ahead of most bands then, they still are--no one can rock like these guys

[@priscillawilson2634]

Yes, Clint Eastwood was the guy all the men wanted to be, but Charles Bronson was the guy all the women wanted.

[@lisafury419]

A FAVORITE AMONG FAVORITES 💋 Saw Eric Clapton in concert 💋

[@davecooper5951]

Only one of the three left now - but what a legacy they leave for us.

[@morbels]

This music is almost physical. It cuts, it storms, it turns, it hits you right in the face.

[@YOU2UUB]

Still my Fav. song of 60's for Eric, Jack, and Ginger (the greatest rock drummer of all time) 9/26/15

[@victoke]

the better bass players are easy to spot in music...you can hear the bass line loud and clear and perfect..jack bruce was all musician

[@jmetallover]

Absolutely, funny there is an all Japanese female band (Band Maid) who have a wicked rhythm section and the bassist Misa is a Bruce clone!! Try this one and see if you agree Take Me Higher LIVE ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHfcipyGeb-tmtk) kind of an appropriate title when we are talking about Cream. BTW forget the vocals unless you speak Japanese but listen to the musicianship of the rhythm section and tell me they can't some day be as good as that great trio!!

[@NARROWGUT]

Spot on with your comment on the better bass players. Jack Bruce and John Entwistle were Master Craftsmen.
