Cream - Pressed Rat And Warthog (Royal Albert Hall 2005) (4 of 22)

[@NYNick49]

I am amazed to hear a live rendition of this song! Peter Edward Baker!!!

[@jmgmarcus808]

This was the most Cream moment of all of the reunion shows. Just awesome.

[@KevinTKiso]

I never imagined Ginger having a conversation while keeping a syncopated beat line that... Incredible.

Ginger is an one of the most skillful and talented person and an amazing Psychopath

[@rvic11]

Brilliant!

[@neilphelan145]

There have been lots of good drummers, even great ones, but Ginger stands head and shoulders above them all.

[@Retrographer]

Oh this is pure gold.... Gingers voice cuts through as clear as any renowned actor in a Dickens play. Just perfect !

[@wolfedavid3700]

read gingers book..............its just great............

[@erikahentschke5208]

And the cd of his last interview, enlightening.

[@kennichols336]

Nice to see jack and ginger come together. A heartwarming moment

[@unionjack515]

Ginger’s vocal has absolutely no regard for the beat. I LOVE IT. This is a true exercise in patting your head and rubbing your belly.

[@prathameshbhambure]

I agree with that! It's five past eleven in the night and I'm about to sleep. However, I tried what you said up there and trust me it's not impossible to do, dude.... the patting and rubbing thing.

[@aaronrepp8182]

Amen

[@MalnatiFamily]

Ginger and Keith Moon were the two greatest rock drummers, with the two greatest accents.

[@davidautrey9914]

Practice makes perfect don't it.

[@bluerazor7049]

Classic baritone with the iconic Cockney accent.

[@JEMGOLDEN]

God I love this moment in the concert - all the rancour and feuds from the past dissolving with this incredible tight music and perfect fusion between the three of them. Ginger sending Jack good vibes for once while producing a crazy swing to the beat; reading lyrics from the sheet to jolt his memory and sort of rapping the mad lyrics; even Eric (I am not a fan) ditching the usual blues cliches and laying down some restrained licks. Kudos to the Warthog!

[@charliefreemansingsandspeaks]

Easily among the reunion shows' greatest moments, and my personal favorite of them all: it's rare to be overwhelmed by musicians that hardly move an inch when playing, but seeing the harmonious camaraderie (fleeting as it turned out to be) in the way they interact with each other is genuinely moving. Cream are the only band I've seen that can literally turn their backs to the audience and give a rousing show, all the while playing one of the deepest cuts in their catalogue, no less. Truly excellent. Also, Ginger's Cockney is sheer perfection.

[@jasonpp1973]

2:30, Jack is so happy, he's so moved by the look that Ginger made to him. My favorite moment of the whole concert. :D

[@MrZootalores]

that eyebrow & eye to eye interaction.. ha ha! one reason why these guys could play such great music live together; they were looking out for the superstar EC...(although history will show that Jack Bruce had a wonderful Rock voice, unique, one of a kind)...many will learn from him

[@danielmacpherson1630]

the smiles are part of the queing

[@raahimkamaal5363]

2:30

[@alkholos]

Famously, Jack and Ginger didn't really get along. I read an angry element in much of their early music. That anger made for some great competitive dynamic music.

[@lipi29]

this is the best song they played at the reunion, probably because it's a amazing song, an amazing performance and the fact that they never played it live before...

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

[@TheHondaman1975]

I don't care what anyone says a but GB, he may not be the best drummer ever but he makes a kit sound better than anyone else with his tasteful and unmistakable style

Great to hear Ginger's very particular voice! I really like this song!

Jack Bruce actually said and you can see that he was close to tears when they performed this song.

This is a beautiful song, still missing tubes cause they added to the half of the mood at least.

[@i8urbabi]

He was the worlds first World Drummer. I can promise that no one on earth or in our galaxy can play to the rhythms this man has heard and can jam to. He can play every limb in separate time, pick which one starts on an off beat, and bring it all together on an off beat if he wants. Trust me, this guy is a weapon on drums, no one would even bother comparing themselves to him, He is literally internationally credited for creating many styles of drumming, including ROCK.

[@robjontay5052]

Thank you for these great words. Master is what I called him. Because he Taught millions of drummers like me....these words mean more today as we mourn his passing. Master Ginger Baker. " Close your tired eyes...."

[@philmann3476]

Three great musicians clearly having a good time (e.g. 2:28 - 3:00). Watching this whole series, and seeing them relive their days at the top, I'd like to think they ultimately regretted the petty squabbles that drove them apart so long ago. Probably a lesson in there somewhere.

[@MrGarcon98]

+Phil Mann i think your so right about that , i was thinking the same thing ....enjoy

[@tomsimms674]

And each one of them made each song a seminar on how to play his particular instrument in a power trio. Even though the video is a compilation of the best of four takes of each song, there were no trainwrecks in the series, and no queues for admission refunds. These were three musicians at the top of their game, obviously having the time of their lives.

The first time I heard this (1970) was truly a "WTF" moment, but the older I get the more I find this song endearing and creative. Baker and Bruce (or Bruce and Baker) were the trailblazers who opened my mind to the the joy of odd time signatures and strange bass riffs.
