- Cream - White Room live at Royal Albert Hall, London.
May 2, 3, 5, 6. 1080p
17 of 22
In May of 2005 Cream returned to London's Royal Albert Hall-to the same stage where they had completed what was thought to be their final performance in 1968. It was one of the most eagerly anticipated, hard-to-get tickets in rock history. With the exception of a brief reunion set at their 1993 induction into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame, Cream had not played together in nearly four decades. This DVD documents Cream's momentous London shows. Performances from each of the four nights are featured and much more. Also included are alternate performances and interviews with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton. Cream formed in 1966 and disbanded in 1968. The band were a prolific and thrilling live act and toured incessantly in their short but remarkable history. - Hudba
RIP the two members of Cream
Ginger Baker (August 19, 1939 - October 6, 2019), aged 80
Jack Bruce (May 14, 1943 - October 25, 2014), aged 71
You both will be remembered as legends.
well done, Jack
Absolutely!! In my view, the all time bests at their crafts! RIP Jack and Ginger!!
The good ones die first... Clapton has a long way to go.
@@thornil2231 Nah. The excessive drug users die first. Bruce and Baker did it to themselves.

Same
Absolutely ✝✝✝🙏🏻🙏🏻
Or "we are still the best"
Jack Bruce's base line while Clapton does his solo is absolutely outstanding.
Yes
It’s better than Clapton’s guitaring.
@@alexbowman7582
That’s for sure. 😂
I were so lucky to see Jack, twice , it were out of this world every time
Suppose you could do better?@@alexbowman7582
My God you Brits have created so many incredible bands. RIP Ginger
The Shadows, Billy J. Kramer, and the Swingin Blue Jeans. Who else might you be thinking of?
@@TheTestingGrounds iron maiden :D
The Brist created great bands by taking notice and cues from black music like jazz and blues that Americans disregarded because they were too busy being racists.
Best ever live band the who ever 19 69 19 76 amazing journey no band could touch them in their prime
@@ryanbyrne259 zeppelin
Still hard to believe that just 3 guys could make so much sound! There will never be another Cream!👍
Rush, Triumph, Jimi Hendrix Experience, ZZ top, Primus, Lynyrd Skynyrd , Styxx etc.....
Absolutely... i fully agree!
I think so !
Just Done, James Gang.
if not check out Rush
RIP Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. There will never be another band like Cream.
Eric's vocals are so good here.
Not good, unreal
Coming deep from some stuff I've never heard before.
He's a massively underrated singer
Yes, and the switching of the vocals between Jack and Eric helps make this song such a standout track.
A lucky guy who's voice isn't really good but just works perfectly.
Jack was underrated , he had a really good voice.
Geddon Me ansome yeah normally he did a great one at that, but definitely not hear
Geddon Me ansome yes I think he taught Eric how to sing
That is an intersting point as I though it was Jack that sang on "Badge" first time I heard it, then found out it was in fact Eric...
Only underrated today, cream was the shit!🤘🏻
@@billhunot2687 ..i believe it was Delaney Bramlett that taught eric how to sing. He was sitting in with them (George Harrison) too)and Delaney gave him the confidence to begin singing. This was before Derrick and the dominos.
Ginger Baker has just passed away. The Joker ending is now a great tribute to him.
That gave me chills hearing joker get driven away with white room playing..the day I found our Ginger baker died.
hope he is gonna make some noise in heaven
🙏🤝😑🌹💝💞
sweet
And Jack Bruce, such a great bassist and good voice, is gone also...hope they're together somewhere makin' music
I love how Jack and Eric chose to wear cool rock star shirts and Ginger just wore the Cream merch t shirt
I just figured that they always dress that way, i can t imagine any of them in "dad" clothes.
I m sure Eric shirt 👕 probably costs $500. Love them all.
L O L💋💟💘
@@melissatyree566 lol
Because Ginger was badass beyond comprehension.
seems clerical clothes
Surprising to see clapton he usually dresses up as a high school math teacher but is really bad ass tho
Cream really does bring out the best in Clapton
It's the only context I've ever liked him in. What a band.
Not derek and the dominos?@@gringochucha
@@ronan1686fr duane allman also brought Clapton best. Not to mention his favorite rhythm section
Shure, just look how Clapton is totally ignited trough the whole concert
the mighty Jack Bruce
R.I.P.
nice comment........
Jack Bruce
...and he could SING!
Right. Jack's bass playing skills never lost a step. Great until the end.
John Bonham Hi Bonzo
RIP Ginger.
Now there is only one.
Play on Eric!
Just like the Band on the Titanic they played to the end.
Never seen Ginger smile until the end of " White Room" here. Great moment.
The relationships in a band can be a nightmare and Cream is a textbook case, but when magic happens on stage all that bullshit gets left behind for a moment.
They really should have done a few more sessions of shows like this but this is peak cream and its amazing. GInger killed it and claptons voice was on fire at this show.@@gringochucha
@@pilsplease7561 I agree. They sounded amazing.
It’s unreal how good Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker are on this track at this age. Absolutely phenomenal.
Surprised you didnt mention clapton. He kind of stole the show. His singing was significantly better than Bruce’s, seriously im shocked he sounded so perfect on vocals, and his solo was badass
@@nicholasrigas2102 Makes me feel good at 72!!!!
Meh. Bruce was not quite 62 in this video. For that age, he looks and sounds pretty bad.
Clapton is the one who belies his age.
The two all time bests at their crafts!!
@@rossogden9920 . Jack had health problems for many years. Heroin addict for a large part of his life, he received a liver transplant in 2003. His body initially rejected it , but he overcame that and lived another 11 years. No doubt his singing suffered due to his weakened body.
His playing was still superb though. And, in his prime his voice was powerful and a joy to listen to.
I have tears in my eyes. We'll never see, hear, or feel this again.
YES YOU WILL MY FRIEND JUST REMEMBER THEM AND CLOSE YOUR EYES AND THINK THEN PLAY 🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🙏😑🍎🥥🍍🍊🌹SGT,USMC RET BLESS YOU AND YOURS 😉
Don't cry it's gone, smile you lived it. A single moment in the Earths entire being.
You have word's like a gifted poem. Sky on..
What “tears”! Tears of Joy! We got to see them again 40+ years again after they left ! And Stronger than Ever! We saw them Again! How many millions left this world and Never got to see This ! We thank Eric for making this Rock Miracle come true for us Die Hard Rockers come true ! Heaven Sent ! Cream Live ! The Cream of Rock ‘n Roll !
Yes you will. Just hit the replay button!! 😂
RIP Ginger Baker 😢😢
(1939 - 2019)
Rip
One of the greatest bands ever! Jack Bruce great vocals; Ginger Baker great drums. They will be surely missed.
Fretless bass is amazing RIP Jack!!!
Baker, Bruce and Clapton...wonder of music!!
Hugo Celati Hard to believe three guys could make that music. Jimi Hendrix did it, too, but not many more.
the very best
Yes!
@@Trytocookthis Thomass hééft 2 dochters (niet gewenst)
God Speed Ginger. The rhythm section in Heaven just got a whole lot better.
Amen!
Neil Peart joined that Rhythm Section now.
Playing a fretless bass for one of the biggest shows of your career, that's also being recorded for TV. That's a man whose comfortable with his craft.
Thank GOD.....I was born in 1950....and got to see EVERY BIT of all of this incredible music explosion that began with Elvis Presley......ladies and gentleman....I give you CREAM.....accept NO substitutes !!!!!!!!
LUcky!! groovy!! supercool!! I was born 1960 also good from this starting point too
Jack was actually a superb singer and song writer. All of his works will be remembered for generations!
Michael McGehee, jack is amazing. Their poet friend wrote the lyrics
Totally!!
Jack Bruce. Brilliant. None better.
jaco pastorius gary thain Jonas hellborg niels henning orsted Pedersen and me ossur johannesen are all better as bass players
øssur Johannesen Better in many respects but Jaco Bruce was not any kind of slouch. He wrote and played music that was very memorable. Minnesvard.
Simply Majestic!
RIP Jack Bruce
RIP Ginger Baker
R.I.P Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce 💔
Man, I love these lines:
"At the party, she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound, now forgotten
Yellow tigers, crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
I'll sleep in this place, with the lonely crowd.
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves."
Indeed, up there with the best of Dylan, Young and Cohen, aren't they? Courtesy of Peter Brown, esq.
Indeed, having a gifted poet (Peter Brown) as your drinking/toking/shrooming buddy does have its advantages... ;')
Huh ?
On the studio version, that thing Clapton does with the guitar when it says "yellow tigers" is what got me hooked on this song.
Genius lyrics indeed.
Still kickin' ass after all of those years.
Margaret Tudor
Woooooord
These three men are my heroes. And whoever mixed this recording is a damn genius it sounds phenomenal
They were all on point!!!!
Mick Guzauski mixed the Cream 2005 Reunion
I wish they were showing more of Jack during Clapton's solo. Eric has played similar solos a thousand times but that bassline by Jack Bruce is just out of this world.
Ginger was tight as hell that night! What a supreme drummer!!!
So true!
He prepared a lot. Wasn’t gonna fuck it up.

Savour this, we'll never hear or see bands like this again. Baker, Bruce and Clapton have no peers.

The greatest drummer, ever! Does anybody want to dispute this fact?
@@gregorydiatchenko8464 Levon helm is the best
@@gregorydiatchenko8464 I know someone who will,they made a list of the worse drummers. The list had Ginger Baker Ringo Star and John Bonham on it, yeah I punched them in the face, haven't talk to my brother in 5 years.
Ginger Baker what a treasure!!
best u tube comment.. ever
barley corn A sober Keith Moon was in Baker's league. Two great ones.
an a raving lunatic to boot!
Always thought he would be the first to die, he's always looked a bit old
Hace. 13. Años Dios tenga en su. Gloria a. Ese hombre. Jack lo máximo en el. Bajo
RIP Jack. Thank you for all the great bass riffs. Love you man.
I personally think this is one of the best performances clapton has ever had, with Cream, and honestly, by himself too.
No doubt
I'm fascinated why British bands have such great music.
That is one of most beautiful solo I have ever heard.
What a bass-line !
Johan Staelens it's bass line idiot
@@paulstone8175 Apologies ! i'm from Belgium Paul. Normally i speak flemish.
Jack Bruce’s voice at 3:10 is absolutely beautiful and soothing to my ears!
Are we just gonna ignore how amazing Clapton's vocals are in that chorus..just wow!
Amazing!
Yes we are
God ❤
Oh no, I definitely noticed it!
Autotune
Jack Bruce's melodic improvisation is so wonderful. This version of his singing the chorus at 3:11 is my favorite.
Jack Bruce...simply amazing here
jack is amazing anywhere!
Let's all just take a moment and enjoy real music.
I was born in Glasgow 1948 and lived in London 67-68-69 and left the UK in early 1970 never to live there again however I am certainly very glad I was born when and where I was born and grew up with such amazing music as this because nobody could follow such musicians today... Make Love Not War.
4:14 ¡¡¡TIM BURTON and HELENA BONHAM CARTER rocking in a CREAM concert!!!😍😍🖤🖤
Jack Bruce had a fantastic voice.
48 years and I still get goosebumps and choke up at the 'I'll wait in this place' part.
Man.I read your comment while having goosebumps when that line came up..
professorpsoop
Me too, brother.
great chords
Legends that earned the title.
3 guys with 3 instruments. And all they do with it, is creating one of the most fantastic songs ever performed! Bravo!
Watching this as a professional musician, makes chills run up my spine. To have the confidence and raw talent, as to get on stage with only your voice , one 6 string , a bass and a trap set !!!! The sound blows me away .
Watching the talent of Jay Bruce physically
fighting that fretless bass , a d playing the hell out of it . Then there is an obviously opiate fueled Clapton , playing every chord , and lead perfectly . Watching him close his eyes ,and referencing every note, in his minds eye ,through the solo ,amazes me .
As I've grown older I have figured out why he is placed among the best guitarists ever . It's simply because he is !!!
Influential, yes. Best, not even close. Check out guys like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
You're opiate fuelled
@@bryanleigh6497 you right but they do practice and have played songs hundreds of times. It should sound that way.
Hell yes ...amen.
Totally agree!
This is such a great performance.
5:05 I love that smiles exchange there! It's like they said, "Just like old times eh!"
They have a massive influence on me.
jack Bruce was SO gifted, i'm still listening to his jazz/rock stuff, brilliant!
Jack Bruce we will miss you.
Bass playing during Claptons solo is SICK!
i agree brother
Robert Lee wer ko der ko
i’ll never forget the first time I heard this song it blew my mind
Jack Bruce showing his brilliant Bass guitar skills here . FANTASTIC!
Jack Bruce is the best in the BASS...
yes yes yes
not many fretless players can sound as heavy as that
IN the bass?!
As soon as I saw there was no Wah-Wah- Pedal , I knew I was gonna be disappointed.
no longer with us, passed over God bless him
the bassist is amazing
No, that was the ox.
Jack the sentiment is mutual
When I was a kid, I heard this song on the radio and could not get enough. The imaginary of..where the shadows run from themselves...wild...what was he talking about...I spent years following the shadows that run from themselves. The Ginger Baker beat, Clapton's lead...outstanding, Jack Bruce's bass and singing those WORDS...The words got me.
And today I will play this song quite few times in remembrance
Rest in Peace Pete Brown, your songs made a difference to a lot of folk.
Always, let the sunshine of love beam up to you Pete!
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
4:31 love that eric is going downscale and jack is going up
Counter point makes everything musical better!
and the comeback to low string with cleptons guitar screaming @4:40... GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME !!!!
3 master musicians, this band was literally a powerhouse band.
Pure Class
Surely the best rock musicians ever
I never get tired of listening 🎧 to the best ever.
The story of modern day Rock starts right here with this song with this band.....Cream.....Ah there was a time yes there was.....
Amazing...rebirth
RIP Jack. You were a classic. Your talent will be greatly missed.
Legends of all times. Jack and Ginger RIP. Long live Eric.
What a treat, decades on! What better way for Jack and Ginger to be remembered? RIP, gentlemen.
Rip to jack Bruce and the days that Clapton used to use the sg
+Connor Burkhardt Super annoying. It's like Clapton deliberately avoided Gibson against the wishes of his fans. Same at his Blind Faith reunion with Steve Winwood at MSG. He didn't even use a telecaster ONCE. He's great on strat, but it lacks the individual personalities associated with Cream and Blind Faith. FOR THE FANS, ERIC!!! For the fucking fans.
+CooManTunes Couldn't agree with you more. This was the one chance for Clapton to really "pay homage" if you will to his 60's glory days and pick up a Gibson again. He's certainly not blind to the fact that his fans loved his playing style from his Cream & Blind Faith days and he really could've relented for these 3 reunion concerts and given the fans what they really wanted to hear. I get why they didn't use the Marshall stacks (something EC makes mention of in his autobiography) but he really should be playing a Gibson here. The only bright spot (for me anways) is seeing Eric shine in his guitar playing again. It's no secret EC hated the guitar hero grandstanding and has spent the rest of his career staying as far away from that as possible but here, for 3 glorious concerts we see a little bit of the old EC shine through again. It's Clapton and Clapton only on this stage playing the guitar and doing all the heavy lifting himself. Nowadays, hell for the past 30yrs, he always has a slew of other guitar players on stage with him backing him up and doing a lot of the work. It's bloody fantastic to see and hear Eric and Eric only on this stage grandstanding again for one brief moment. He's playing and singing his ass off during these reunion concerts and it shows and it's brilliant. It's just a shame he didn't take out the Gibson for one last big hurrah.
+CooManTunes HE HAS TO BE ERIC THE DIFFICULT. SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.
Just be thankful he's playing at the very least a black strat. It may not be the 'cream guitar', but it's certainly his most famous model, and even today he steers away from black strats.
hughtubecube
No. We shouldn't be thankful for his deliberate stubbornness towards Gibson.
3 piece band playing incredible music.
Jack Bruce : a voice for the ages.
this is best live ever made by anybody!
These people don't know how lucky they are to see these 3 legends
Rest in peace, Jack. One of the best bass players, lead singers and songwriters ever, you will be missed by all of us, and your music will live on. RIP, Legend.
R.I.P. Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.
The first super band of all story, nobody compares them. i love them
That Ginger's laughter at the end. It makes smile on my face
Ginger and EC smile at each other. Great Moment....
man, the notes that gentleman hit... brought tears to this gentleman's eyes,,, amazing voice |!!!!!!!!! simply fantastic
Mad kudos to Mr. Bruce for singing WHILE PLAYING FRETLESS BASS COMPLETELY PITCH PERFECT! Idk but I just rarely ever see anything like that.
When I was ten in 1968 they appeared on totp to a great fanfare but I thought at the time Ibring on the love affair but now .wow what a sound. I'm listening this through an extra bass speaker and the bass is utterly phenomenal
Those bass lines are everything
The Ginger Man sure looks like he's having fun. As do all of them. The bassline is totally off the wall! 🙂
Eric sounds like a '90s Guitar Magazine CD feature entitled "how to play White Room with nothing but a Squier Strat and a Line 6 Pod"
are you really serious or this is just a bad joke?
+noremorse146 It's funny cuz it's true.
Yeah, his tone is really shit in this.
thenewyorkpauls- are you sure it's a squier?
I would figure Clapton would bring a fender to this show
nvm. it's a fender
One of the most iconic songs! One of the best bands ever!
Cream... Sin palabras, querido S Woody, Clapton, os amare siempre
Clapton's guitar work on this tune is some of his best in years. Throughout the concerts of this reunion, it seems that he's playing with a new energy and intensity, and seems more inspired than the past 15 years or so. Hmm. . . . Maybe he felt the need for this reunion concert more deeply than at any other time, and figured that it might be a " final opportunity "? Thanx Jack, Ginger, and Eric; maybe ONCE MORE in another, even more "spiritual surrounding "?
I agree with your observation. EC's playing is magnificent.
Good playing but the lazy fuck could’ve clicked his wah pedal on for that iconic solo
@@mitchhaynes1744 wtf? Clapton don't need no stinkin pedal!!!!
Fantásticos uma das melhores bandas de rock de sempre
Get well soon Eric. I heard on the web that you are unwell and suffering terribly. I'll say a prayer for you.
Music from other planets. Created by gods of music coming from the universe and returning back there. RIP GINGER AND JACK. Your music will never die.
Jacks bass skills are unfreakingtouchable
Cream was absolutely, positively one of the best trios in the history of music. Even after so many years, listening to Eric, Jack and Ginger playing together once again makes it seem as though they'd never been apart. "White Room" is my favorite song by Cream, and the instrumental part is breathtaking. There will never be a band as classic, memorable or talented as them. Many thanks to my older brother for turning me onto Cream.
Clapton has perfect command of the distortion. Amazing group of musicians and were fortunate to be able to see them perform despite not being there.
All that I've got to say is "Outstanding ! "
James Hatch Jr.
Ginger and Jack is playing together again in heaven. R.I.P
Cybercygni - In between fist fights. lol
Every so often I like to watch one of these clips to remember what real music feels like.
the guitar work and the drumming are intoxicating in this number
Flawless powerful performance all round !!
One of the most awesome voices of the histoty! We'll love you forever king!
I just can’t stop revisiting this upload. Absolutely priceless. Could listen to Jack on bass guitar all night. Classic music which will endure for future generations I have no doubt!
You David & a lot of other people now have subscribed and made this version part of their favorites list. Love it too, immensely.
Imagine having one of these guys as your music teacher in school...
With Ginger though, might want to be careful with him considering his infamous temper as long as you don't get on his bad side! Still one of the best drummers though!
Talk about smokin in the boys room
The lyrics were written by the poet Pete Brown (a friend of Jack Bruce’s) with the setting being an empty apartment and the theme being about depression and hopelessness. Brown’s first attempt at the lyrics resulted in a story about a ‘doomed hippie girl’ and had the title ‘Cinderella’s Last Goodnight’. Jack Bruce was not impressed so Brown showed him an eight-page poem he had written and Bruce used part of this for ‘White Room’. The ‘White Room’ was an actual room in an apartment that Pete Brown lived in. He said that he gave up alcohol and drugs while living there and saw the literal ‘White Room’ as a watershed for him. The lines… ‘The tired Starlings’ refers to the pollution in London that was killing them off. ‘Black roof country’ relates to the roofs where Dixon was living being covered in soot and ash from steam trains. ‘Goodbye windows’ describes people waving from train windows. extract from: REVEALED: THE HIDDEN MEANING BEHIND THE LYRICS OF 501 CLASSIC and POPULAR SONGS.

Cool, thanks
thanks Man thanks !!!!
My favorite thing about this video was the huge smile from Ginger right at the end of the song, didn't see that one coming. Rock In Peace Jack and Ginger!
