Wow! He's adding it to his playlist after only one listen! I bought the single when it first came out. Loved it. "Sunshine of Your Love" is another must listen by Cream.
Check out the version of Toad on the Wheels of Fire album. The 2005 performance is cool, but Ginger was in his prime on the Wheels of Fire performance. It’s incredible 🎉
@@awoken1445 Yep, the last verse that starts "At the party" was something I had never heard until years later when they played the album version on FM stations. When it first came out, I heard it on Top 40 radio, which played the single, which is the record I bought. Should have gotten the album!
Cream was short-lived from 1966-1968, but they are such a classic band. Watch them play “Toad” from their reunion concert in 2005. It shows why their drummer Ginger Baker is hailed as an icon for future drummers.
Cream was a super group in the 60's. They had one of the greatest guitarist ever in Eric Clapton and greatest technical drummer in Ginger Baker. Jack Bruce was also a great bassist. Cream, Blind faith, Ginger Bakers Air Force, with these same musicians changed rock and opened the door for Led Zeppelin.
This I believe is the first track on this double album which contains some incredible live tracks. Every single song is fantastic so why not just continue to work your way through it.
I love guitar, always have done and I LOOOVE that excessive wah-wah at 5:15 at the end of that solo(?). But I just can't help but air drum to this song in particular. And yet, after 15+ years, I still haven't got it down, Ginger's just too inventive and diverse with those toms and snare for me. Hell, I don't even know which one he's hitting half the time.
I'm not a musician, but to my ears, Cream is the closest a rock band has ever come to "swinging" the way good jazz does. Their recording of "Crossroads" is amazing.
Cream were great some bangers from them them include Sunshine of Your Love, I Feel Free, Strange Brew, Tales if Brave Ulyssess and SWLABR. Their drummer Gunger Baker had such a dry sense of humour, ge was once asked who were his influences on the drums and he said no one as I'm the best there's ever been he was fed up of being asked the same questions by journalists so he decided to be a bit mischievous.
You can't go wrong by listening to the Disraeli Gears album. It was their second album and a great deal of work went into it at Atlantic Records' studio in New York, with Felix Pappalardi producing. Songs that stand out are Sunshine of Your Love (Cream's best known song), Tales of Brave Ulysses, and Outside Woman Blues.
To illustrate how times have changed, I saw Cream at the Sam Houston Coliseum on October 24th 1968. I kept a clipping from the paper were it talked about the upcoming show, and it says ticket prices were $3, $4, $5, and $6. I can’t remember what price we paid when we saw them, but I do remember they were just incredible live.
Their farewell performance at the Royal Albert Hall in '69 is worth a watch. Try "Sunshine of Your Love" if you want another taste before jumping into an album.
If you want to do a complete album reaction of Cream, I'd recommend Disreali Gears. It has their most iconic song, Sunshine of Your Love, which is a must hear.
Rupps drums in Denver. Bob Rupp and Ginger were good friends. A couple of Ginger's drum sets were there and for sale. I hit the crash with my index finger.
So many great Cream tunes. Oh, check out Cream's "Pressed Rat and Warthog". It's an oddball piece by Ginger Baker...but well worth listening to. And you need to listen to Jimi Hendrix (if you haven't already)!
Apocalyptcia have a great cello version of this song ft Jacoby Shaddix on vocals the Cello’s do a great job in place of the Guitar’s Both versions on my Play List it’s from my music Era
Another classic rock band you might want to check out is Foghat. They had a great run in the 70’s. Try Slow Ride (long version) Fool for the City, I Just Want To Make Love To You
Silas, please do yourself a huge favor and give a listen to "Crossroads" from this same "Wheels of Fire" album! It's a live recording - from 1968 - which clearly shows why Cream were considered the BEST of the best at the time. If you liked Eric Clapton's guitar playing in "White Room", you'll do back-flips when you hear "Crossroads"! Jack Bruce's bass and Ginger's drumming are extraordinary as well...
Cream is one of my all time faves. Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, and Wheels of Fire are the shit. When I'm having a bad day I listen to their cover of Skip James' I'm So Glad. I want to recommend an excellent song, very emblematic of the band, but also relatively unknown. Politician from Wheels of Fire. The over-lapping guitar solo is revolutionary.
Cream tracks, 'Sitting on top of the world' and 'Politician' are two deeper tracks which I always listen to. Wheels of Fire has a studio disc and a live disc. Give it a go. Cheers ✌
He is the guitar licks that you will love! Foghat, "I Just Want to Make Love to You", you will love it! I promise, I would not steer you in the wrong direction, I promise you that! Listen to the studio version, you will love the dueling guitars in the beginning! I'll watch for it, but I will watch your many other videos! Your doing great!
I have always loved this song! The guitar work of Clapton reminds of Terry Kath on this song. I would love to you try Atomic Rooster at some point. You wouldn't get a ton of views, but I know for a fact you'd love them!
I tried to like the 2005 version but Clapton doesn't even use a wah pedal to play this song...unwatchable/unlistenable. Their old stuff was sooo much better
Cream is a cool band, arguable, but Cream's four albums aren't as good for me as Zeppelin albums, but this is subjective, I just listen to Zeppelin more.
I never much liked this song. The falsetto vocals just seem so out of place here and Bruce doesn't have an overly strong voice as it is. I find Clapton to be vastly overrated. I prefer to listen to BBM i.e. Bruce, Baker, Moore (Gary). There are some great tracks on their album: Around the next dream. I suggest the song: "High Cost of Loving". Gary's playing outshines Clapton.
Wow! He's adding it to his playlist after only one listen! I bought the single when it first came out. Loved it. "Sunshine of Your Love" is another must listen by Cream.
Check out the version of Toad on the Wheels of Fire album. The 2005 performance is cool, but Ginger was in his prime on the Wheels of Fire performance. It’s incredible 🎉
Me too, and I still have it! The only problem was, the 45 version had an entire verse cut out.
@@jpmnewyork Oh, I didn't know that!

I was sixteen when this album came out. I clearly remember being in my best friend's room listening to this for the first time. We were blown away!
I was 15 when this was released. Can you imagine? Good to see you youngsters enjoying it as much as I did.
That "wha wha" pedal was a staple of 60's rock.
If you're going to play guirar, you need to get one.
I recommend the Derek & The Dominoes jam sessions. They're unreal.
"Crossroads" from that album for a top tier solo from Clapton.
This I believe is the first track on this double album which contains some incredible live tracks. Every single song is fantastic so why not just continue to work your way through it.
Great song, this is what you call Psychedelic Rock
I love guitar, always have done and I LOOOVE that excessive wah-wah at 5:15 at the end of that solo(?). But I just can't help but air drum to this song in particular. And yet, after 15+ years, I still haven't got it down, Ginger's just too inventive and diverse with those toms and snare for me. Hell, I don't even know which one he's hitting half the time.
Love the shout out to Ginger Baker for sure. I also liked him in that one-album supergroup thing, Blind Faith.
"Sunshine of your love" Live is a must see video !!!
They are the Cream! 3 exceptional musicians.
Just a massive song in every way.
Even in 66 Clapton's expertise with the guitar 🎸 is clearly evident
Righteous reaction bro! You felt it!
"Crossroads" and "Spoonful" from the same album are classics!
My favorite Cream song is "Tales of Brave Ulysses" because when I was a kid I was into Greek mythology.
I'm not a musician, but to my ears, Cream is the closest a rock band has ever come to "swinging" the way good jazz does. Their recording of "Crossroads" is amazing.
Thanks for taking a huge bite right before attempting to talk. The pure madness of it made my day.
That guitar! It's Clapton what more could you want

Crossroads performance at Royal Albert Hall-incredible

Awsome drumming 🤟🤟🤟🇦🇺
Cream was Eric Clapton at his absolute peak!
At last you have got to this masterpiece. 👍❤️
Such an unique sound they created, an instant classic with I believe was made with a wah pedal.
My favorite from Cream. Many more classics from this band to choose from.
White Room is where Clapton weaponized the wah-wah pedal and earned his rep. as a guitar player.
CREAM is classic 60's rock! A 3 member supergroup!🥁🎸🎙🎶☮🤘Next up,Sunshine of Your Love,and I Feel Free!
Always enjoy hearing this! 👍👍
One of my favorite rock bands!!! Love Cream.
"Sunshine of Your Love", "Tales of Brave Ulysses" ......you can't go wrong with either!!
Haven't heard this for years...decades, really. Forgot how really good "White Room," and the band were. Thanks for reminding me.
I love cream, I Feel Free, Strange Brew are also good songs
Hope you do listen to more Cream. Very accomplished musicians and great music.
Masterpiece. Timeless.
Their farewell performance at the Royal Albert Hall in '69 is worth a watch. Try "Sunshine of Your Love" if you want another taste before jumping into an album.
That's Eric Clapton on guitar! Isn't he great? I love his sound.
Great band. Mental drummer lol
If you want to do a complete album reaction of Cream, I'd recommend Disreali Gears. It has their most iconic song, Sunshine of Your Love, which is a must hear.
Do "Sunshine of Your Love" next!
Emerson Lake and Palmer Tarkus Live 1997 Montreux Jazz Festival 1997✌🏼❤️
'World of Pain' is another classic psychedelic Cream tune.
Ginger Baker was THE drummer. There a a few other great ones, but if you needed a drummer to show up and work, support you, this was the guy
Rupps drums in Denver. Bob Rupp and Ginger were good friends. A couple of Ginger's drum sets were there and for sale. I hit the crash with my index finger.
So many great Cream tunes. Oh, check out Cream's "Pressed Rat and Warthog". It's an oddball piece by Ginger Baker...but well worth listening to. And you need to listen to Jimi Hendrix (if you haven't already)!
Check out the album “Disraeli Gears”. Definitely a great album from the Psychedelic era of the sixties. Great review, I love this song!
Some say this is the first heavy metal song.
Sunshine Of Your Love next. The guitar solo is phenomenal.
Crossroads!!!
Yeah, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!! High quality late 60s rock. It was a time…
Those were the days... best song of Wheels
The band hired a professional poet to write these lyrics for them. Did you notice every verse was exactly four syllables?
Silas is eating an apple, so that he sounds casual in conversation...(Seinfeld reference)...
Foghat slow ride
Do TALES OF BRAVE ULYSSES!
My favourite Cream song along with I Feel Free. The wah-wah in this is amazing.
Apocalyptcia have a great cello version of this song ft Jacoby Shaddix on vocals the Cello’s do a great job in place of the Guitar’s
Both versions on my Play List it’s from my music Era
APPLE!!!

Disraeli Gears!!! They made four albums.
Crean were filmed at Albert Hall a must see concert their version of Cross Roads is a killer ❤🎸🌈☺️

Disraeli Gears is a great album

Listen to the studio version, you will love the dueling guitars in the beginning! I'll watch for it, but I will watch your many other videos! Your doing great!
Jajajajaja...Funny man.
Eric Clapton was considerated a god in England before Zepp, and before Jimmi Hendrix came to England
BADGE ! and don't talk with your mouth full. (hilarious)
Check out King Crimson.....21st Century Schizoid Man
Silly you.🍎🍏❤️
I have always loved this song! The guitar work of Clapton reminds of Terry Kath on this song.
I would love to you try Atomic Rooster at some point. You wouldn't get a ton of views, but I know for a fact you'd love them!
Maybe sometime you will play your guitar for us!!!!!!!!
Ginger Baker tied for the greatest w Neil Pert
Clapton is God!
Welcome to the psychedelic years.
When i go to the Waffle House i ask for " Baker,Bruse and Clapton " for my coffee. Yes i get many looks.
I tried to like the 2005 version but Clapton doesn't even use a wah pedal to play this song...unwatchable/unlistenable. Their old stuff was sooo much better
You dork!😅
I absolutely loved this track (and most of Cream's stuff) when I first heard it, but it's become dated, unlike LZ!
Cream is a cool band, arguable, but Cream's four albums aren't as good for me as Zeppelin albums, but this is subjective, I just listen to Zeppelin more.

All you had to say is you don't like Cream. LOL!
