Neal Jones Rick Grech, good bass player but no Jack Bruce. Damn straight but that's alright because this band has three of my favorite musicians and they were great as a whole.
I'll give Ginger Baker his due, but Michael Shrieve who was the early drummer for Santana was the best I've ever heard, of course I believe Carlos Santana to be a better guitar player than Eric Clapton. I'm just asking for it with my favorites but each to his own taste.

Many times I feel like myself but at 17 years old, in that unforgettable 1969. About to start the magical and mysterious tour through life, convinced that I would never grow old. Not me, not my friends and, of course, that we will never die. One of the reasons for this kind of Eternal Return to my spirit at that time, ever jovial, confident, overflowing with vital energy, sun, joy, is 'Can't Find My Way Home', which we had all heard for the first time the night before, on a mythical radio program in Spain, called 'Vuelo 605', which we always commented on enthusiastically. Because Eric Clapton had founded this amazing "super group". Blind Faith. Wow. Today I dedicate that song and this incredible video of the Hyde Park concert to my dear old friends José María, Mariano, Anastasio, Pin, Prieto, José Ramírez (both José Ramírez) and especially to those who I knew were gone. Nando, Reyes, Toñas... I hope you found your way home easily. Do you remember Rocío and Paloma, those two girls who were as friendly as they were beautiful who let us spend hours in the vinilo's section of the neighborhood supermarket, listening to Credence or Blind Faith without ever or almost never buying anything, because we barely had money? I remember them as if I were seeing them now. And to you. Come with me, let's enjoy Blind Faith together once again. Love U guys.
I agree that ginger Baker is a genius, misunderstood and under rated. The other under rated thing on this film is the beauty of a summer's day in England. This was a lovely afternoon.
Any nature loving Brit would never underrate the magic of a sunny British summer. I've travelled all over the world, lived in many countries and still rate British summers (when the sun shines!) as the most magical. Add to that this top tier Brit super group and it's heaven on Earth!
Love the raw sound of Steve's voice. Don't really care if his voice isn't perfect just really enjoy the moment in time. Great times back then. I am 61.
I heard Clapton say once that they hadn't had enough time together to be as good and tight as they wanted. He said that they never caught up. It's like Mr. Winwood thought his vocals weren't loud enough and he was shouting. Still a hypnotic performance. I think being forced to wing it was good for Clapton. He says he always wished he had stuck with it.

@Amir Mansour To put it back at the top so people didn't have to dig through messages to find the time references. And I was sure to give props to Jack. for his personal effort. Good idea? Bad Idea? Peace ~ cj
I don't think any of them had reached their prime at this point. Certainly not Winwood or Clapton... Baker I think has been God on the drums since birth. But seriously, they all improved drastically as musicians as they developed throughout the years following this band.
@@humanimal5527 No, they clearly came INTO their prime in Blind Faith. That much is clear. Steve and Eric were just fantastic, and Steve continued to get better and better throughout the show, and as they toured more. And I mean come on now, if you cant listen to Clapton here, and see he is on top of his game, then nothing will convince u otherwise.
I cannot believe this wonderful video actually exists….my heart is singing and my soul is happy, watching this monumental team do what they all do best! Fell blessed to have had access to this music during my college years…..
Blind Faith Free. And can you imagine Eric's reaction when Ginger and Stephen show up at his door. Please, lads let us take a break. Know, way Eric is drawn in. Disastrous, tour. Hyde Park was the highlight.
Saw the lead singer for this band about a month ago and when I say it was magical to have the privilege to hear some of these songs live. Being in my 20s now I just found myself thinking about how these people felt and how I got the privilege to feel a similar way to those before me! Truly one of the best bands ever
Eric's playing is a perfect fit for this great band , just what a guitar player he is has been brilliantly exposed on this video , his rhythm playing is more than equal to his solos, Ginger's drumming is possibly the best I have heard from him , the much missed Ric Gretch provides superb low tones and the singer does not need any more plaudits , he was a legend then and still is , great stuff , one can only wonder as to what they would have produced given a few years together.
This is what it was all about back then, no stage theatrics no reaching for different guitars no walking around the stage just playing music. Just right.
I don’t frigging care if it was just for one concert. My eyes saw and my ears heard a great band with no BS attached. Can’t help it if you can’t recognize it. Cheers!
Only Jack brought that out in Baker.Notice the difference in the interplay , with Rick Grech ? No baggage, personally or musically , like it always was with Jack.
One of the best of the 'supergroups' for sure. I think Clapton was best when he didn't have to take center stage and sing. He's really engaged with his guitar sound here unlike everything later when he's playing a lot of rote stuff. Too bad these guys didn't stick around long as a group, it was probably the creative high point for all of them.
From a time when musos were musos and relied on their combined skills and talents to put out this wonderful set that shows the very best of the 60s evolution of rock music. Thank you all.
A very underappreciated group! My turn on to them was the same, I'd bet, as most peoples with, "Can't Find My Way Home" and thanx to them I will, soon enough!
It's absolutely astonishing to hear Clapper transform his guitar style from The Yardbirds, to John Mayal & The Blues Breakers, to Cream, to Blind Faith, to Derrick & The Dominos, and beyond. His guitars too!
So just about to move into 2021... and this along with Led Zep 1979 @ Knebworth still by far and away 2 of the best live sets imho. Perspective is a marvellous thing, As I reminisce with a friend who was due to go (he's now turning 69) he was just turned 16 I was 2 & 1/2 yrs old. We were guessing average age of the crowd maybe 22 yrs old makes them 74 in 2021 the older "cooler" dudes are now in their 80's..... MY Point.... it's nice to be nice and the next time you see "the old duffer struggling to get on the bus or faffing for change in the supermarket.. remember they were THE generation who changed the world. God bless and happy new year
I hear specific comments about all these individual musician but how about this is one of the greatest lineups of all time in every aspect? The singing is amazing. The guitar spell binding, the drumming is excellent in every way.
Ginger and Clapton are so simpatico....Innate timing. Ginger s pocket is huge ....Eric so casually fluid....he never strikes a bum note.........There is a modest brilliance in the “ loose precision “ of this.
@@marshallleo6589 my understanding is just the opposite. That one of the reasons his playing is so good, is because he was relaxed. He did not have to deal with the in-fighting between Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. I was always of the understanding that it was Bonny, Delaney and friends that he thought was a mistake and left.
this concert was for me a mhytical one, i didnt think id "meet" somebody who was there...damn, the best of claptons career is in this 47 minutes....fucking mindblowing. Greetings from Mèxico!
Just stumbled upon this...cool that you were there! My claim to concert fame was seeing Zeppelin in 73’ when they filmed Song Remains the Same at Madison Sq Garden...was there the first two shows...tickets were $6.50 too! They’ll never be shows like these ever again
Eric's guitar is subtle and masterful. Stevie voice is great. Who cares about imperfection it's raw passionate and immensely soulful. If you compare this to stevie n Eric playing this century and it's souped up strat tones and far more show bizzy. Eric is tasty as hell on this. More like pure r and b playing. Rather than souped up showboating for the masses.
WOW, never heard his music before, my friend post a link on facebook with a song of him, so i enter here, put the name of the band, a search THIS FUCKING AMAZING SET!!! GOD, is really amazing!!!! thanks to this band for exist!!!
my first college lover Kenny was crazy about these guys...over the top! he wouldn't even listen to the Grateful Dead...but that's his focus as a guitarist. couldn't appreciate the way Jerry Garcia went off on the concerts jamming. whereas i loved nothing more than The Dead. but, i've loved music and musicians my entire life. i'm not a musician, i'm an afficionado.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this film, blown away. It gets even better every time I see it...and the cool factor of Eric's custom Tele with the Strat neck is off of the freaking charts!
Very good ! Steve, great voice ; Eric, the best; Ginger, great drummer and Rick, an excelent bass player (listen to the track "Well All Right, a lesson of bass...)
Liked brownie better than blackie.. but like the sound of the tele here even more... it sounds like a hollow body to me tho.. perhaps some clapton guitar experts would know.. and sea of joy is really emotive.. love it.. raw voice and all...
sgdeluxedoc ...Clapton can make any guitar sound good.I've always wondered what a Strat/Tele combo would play like.This show and production is top notch,especially for the era and technology at the time.Great group of musicians playing great songs
The songs written by Steve Winwood do have a Traffic feel to them. This is one of his absolutely best songs for his whole career. (1965-2020) What a career, he actually played at clubs in England when he was 12, I only counted after he joined The Spencer Davis Group at 16 and became their lead singer!
Steve's voice is so nice that cracks just gives the song character. Song lyrics 👹 I would have loved being there. Everyone knows his is voice one of a kind ❤️
Very nice, ‘light-on-it’s-feet’ playing ☺️ Very nice filmmaking in the tradition of the time. A very enjoyable hour all round, several times over 😂 One of many particular highlights: the way Clapton exploits the changes cleverly in his solo in ‘Under My Thumb’.
When they announced Under My Thumb, I was thinking, "brother just like any other lousy cover band, give me a break" Then Winwood started singing and it was like "ohhh, nooo it's not just any cover band" He's even better live than on record.
Thank you for posting. So amazing - the music, half a million people, no problems. I wasn't born until October of '69, but belong in the '60's and '70's
They had a majestic and mecurical magic that was the outstanding expression of the tutelage and on the job training conferred by John Mayall, Alexis Korner and The Rolling Stones et al. R.I.P. Ginger Baker and John Mayall.
Honestly I have never ever heard a drummer that comes close to "Mr Baker"!!!~ He was in Hawkwind for about 3 years as well. When I 1st heard their album Levitation (1980) The opening drum roll to 'Who's Gonna Win The War' (the 1st song 2nd side) got me2 immediately checked the cover for lineup change & their it was 'Drums Ginger'. He is to drums as Jimi Hendrix is to guitar 1
Meh, you are wrong all around Charles. Don't even know why you'd post that here, maybe an attention grab. Yeah, look at me, look at me. I'm Charles, and my opinion is the one that really counts...Not!
This concert hit the sweet spot between the pristine , almost too ordely Monterey Pop and the bursting at the seems , rain & mud fest that we revere as Woodstock. Never again will a gathering of people to partake of each other, music and nature be this sublime.
Clapton con una tonalidad sorpresa Ginger el mejor baterista del mundo winwood un genio y el bajo impresionante y la verdad es que 4 genios no podían permanecer mucho tiempo juntos pero aun así dejaron un derroche de talento en este estupendo lugar !❤❤❤❤
That cover of Under My Thumb was for Brian Jones, sorry for the obvious. Also, the acid dancing for an old Buddy Holly song is kinda interesting too from an historical and musical perspective.
1969 what a mind-blowing year for music 😍
Happily , I was there. And for my money Ginger is the best drummer on the planet.
Neal Jones Hey, so was I!! 15, just landed in London. Good life!
Neal Jones Rick Grech, good bass player but no Jack Bruce. Damn straight but that's alright because this band has three of my favorite musicians and they were great as a whole.
Rick was very good, he was just more of a traditional bass player than for example Jack Bruce.
I'll give Ginger Baker his due, but Michael Shrieve who was the early drummer for Santana was the best I've ever heard, of course I believe Carlos Santana to be a better guitar player than Eric Clapton. I'm just asking for it with my favorites but each to his own taste.
That drum solo in Do What You Like is perfection.
"In the Presence of the Lord" is flawless in this performance. Such a gorgeous song.
Beautiful song

Indeed it was warm and sunny with a gentle breeze. I was stood between the gap in the trees. What a wonderful experience to be at this concert.
I was lucky at that time to be living as a young teen in S,Kensington. It was like having concerts in my garden during these years.
Love the raw sound of Steve's voice. Don't really care if his voice isn't perfect just really enjoy the moment in time. Great times back then. I am 61.
I hear ya .. I'm 65 and remember them and the beauty of that raw sound.
I'm 22, and I'm absolutely in love with Blind Faith.

It's like Mr. Winwood thought his vocals weren't loud enough and he was shouting. Still a hypnotic performance. I think being forced to wing it was good for Clapton.

Yeah agreed recording is not the best but hey it's 1969 and I was 18
When I first heard the Spencer Davis Group I thought the singer was a black guy.

Crap. Winwoods voice is bloody awful.

The way he arpeggiates thru these songs, understated yet fully supporting and driving, always listening to his bandmates. Fantastic.
As far as I know Paul McCartney and Stephen winwood have not performed together.
Band relaxed going through a free rehearsal/bothways woodstock know picnic.
Things like this redeem the Internet. What a moment.
This is what it was all about back then, no stage theatrics no reaching for different guitars no walking around the stage just playing music.
Just right.
And dressing up for stage. None of this black tshirt crap
Then clearly you haven't seen footage of The Who from the '60s lol Roger, Pete, and Keith were theatrical all the time lol
@@zacharyjohnson6453 Well, that was their style. This band set a different presence on stage. No goofyness.
@@MrBritrider well, "this band" that you're talking about here only lasted for 3 months, so i don't know what you're banging on about here 🤣
I don’t frigging care if it was just for one concert. My eyes saw and my ears heard a great band with no BS attached. Can’t help it if you can’t recognize it.
Cheers!
One of my favourite bands in one of my favourite parks! God bless Blind Faith! Beautiful sounds!
Ginger was and always will be the best drummer ever rip wlldman mr Baker
That's for sure, Mr. Baker set the ground & standard back then. Baker's timing was great
Only Jack brought that out in Baker.Notice the difference in the interplay , with Rick Grech ? No baggage, personally or musically , like it always was with Jack.

I think Eric was made at Ginger... Although it was a great time to be alive! No worries
I’m young so I didn’t know the guitarist was Clapton. Pretty funny to me he has a pentagram around his neck…
Clapton in this show is some of the best guitar playing I`ve ever heard
From a time when musos were musos and relied on their combined skills and talents to put out this wonderful set that shows the very best of the 60s evolution of rock music. Thank you all.

Complete gem of a concert, imperfections and all...even got a Baker drum solo. Thanks for posting!
This is bad ass. they could play the whole gig with no lyrics and I'd still listen. masters at work
Bad ass is a good thing ?
A very underappreciated group! My turn on to them was the same, I'd bet, as most peoples with, "Can't Find My Way Home" and thanx to them I will, soon enough!
A fabulous collection of musical talent. Its sound is pure pleasure to mine own ears.

It's absolutely astonishing to hear Clapper transform his guitar style from The Yardbirds, to John Mayal & The Blues Breakers, to Cream, to Blind Faith, to Derrick & The Dominos, and beyond. His guitars too!
Clapton
Derek
Mayall
Calpton is a talented guy but for me this is the Steve Windwood show. I get the vibe Mr Clapton wants it that way, as if he needed a break from Cream
So just about to move into 2021... and this along with Led Zep 1979 @ Knebworth still by far and away 2 of the best live sets imho.

Never felt so jealous in my life.

Simply Awesome 🎵🎼🎶🎼🎶🎹🎤🎸😎👊
This some of the best tone that Clapton ever had!!
I'm here because someone on CZcams mention his guitar tone at Blind Faith
@@diegoferrari3341 I am always commenting on Clapton’s tone (and his playing-so relaxed after the hyperbole of Cream) on this gig.
But they said clapton hated playing in this band and left as soon as he could.
@@marshallleo6589 my understanding is just the opposite. That one of the reasons his playing is so good, is because he was relaxed. He did not have to deal with the in-fighting between Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.
I was always of the understanding that it was Bonny, Delaney and friends that he thought was a mistake and left.
I'd just add that a major factor in the tone, is that he's playing a Telecaster, not the usual (As it has become) Strat.

My friend I'm a 74 year old and I totally agree I think ginger is the BEST BY FAR
This shows that Eric could play wonderful rhythm guitar. A lot of people only think about his solos like While my guitar gently weeps, Crossroads, etc
Legendary! 👏🏻🤘🏻

Very good ! Steve, great voice ; Eric, the best; Ginger, great drummer and Rick, an excelent bass player (listen to the track "Well All Right, a lesson of bass...)

They had a majestic and mecurical magic that was the outstanding expression of the tutelage and on the job training conferred by John Mayall, Alexis Korner and The Rolling Stones et al. R.I.P. Ginger Baker and John Mayall.
one of the best bands ever; other traffic
I was there . Free gig in those days . Memorable
Honestly I have never ever heard a drummer that comes close to "Mr Baker"!!!~ He was in Hawkwind for about 3 years as well. When I 1st heard their album Levitation (1980) The opening drum roll to 'Who's Gonna Win The War' (the 1st song 2nd side) got me2 immediately checked the cover for lineup change & their it was 'Drums Ginger'. He is to drums as Jimi Hendrix is to guitar 1
I forgot his stint in Hawkwind. He was in a lot of bands.
Michael Shreive with Santana is a better drummer. Of course, he did have a band full of percussion and a better guitar player than Eric Clapton.
Meh, you are wrong all around Charles. Don't even know why you'd post that here, maybe an attention grab. Yeah, look at me, look at me. I'm Charles, and my opinion is the one that really counts...Not!
Certainly your opinion! Personally I can't stand Carlos Santana...sounds like he has 1 tone to me. Of course, just my opinion!
Wow Ginger was in Hawkwind?! I was into many moons ago but don’t remember if I ever knew the band members names.
Thank you thank you thank you...
When music was, indeed, a kind of Glory...Especially for those of us who lived it...❤
MONSTER BAND OF A GREAT ERA !!!!☠️☠️☠️
I'm with you on this one and I'm 61
I was 13 when I first heard this in 69… it affected me and still does
I was there in 69 what a day.......................
I call bs
"was" ... the best Drummer on the esrth ! !
Earth!
This brings back sweet memories.
This concert hit the sweet spot between the pristine , almost too ordely Monterey Pop and the bursting at the seems , rain & mud fest that we revere as Woodstock. Never again will a gathering of people to partake of each other, music and nature be this sublime.
If you look at 43.29, you can see the airplane sculpture that the girl is holding on the album cover, sitting on top of Winwood's Hammond.
Absolutely amazing 🙌
I turned into a teenager this album. It was a Big part of my formative years.
Great vid !
Clapton con una tonalidad sorpresa Ginger el mejor baterista del mundo winwood un genio y el bajo impresionante y la verdad es que 4 genios no podían permanecer mucho tiempo juntos pero aun así dejaron un derroche de talento en este estupendo lugar !❤❤❤❤
Great sound on this outta sight clip!!!! u go BLINDFAITH!!!!!
Amazing effort and performance . Steve Winwood sounds like he had a sore throat but even at 80% of his game he was great.
Bluesbreakers: Happy Blues
Cream: Angry blues
Blind Faith: Sad Blues
Thanks a lot for sharing this video!
I love this show
That cover of Under My Thumb was for Brian Jones, sorry for the obvious. Also, the acid dancing for an old Buddy Holly song is kinda interesting too from an historical and musical perspective.
What a badass performance
I am 24 years old, and I love this band and these songs
Shame they only did the one album. I loved Cream. Amazing Clapton and Ginger could help create such a completely different band so quickly
Thank you for uploading!!!
