Real early Cream

[spartacus53]

Wrapping Paper and Sweet Wine.. Even though it's lip synced, it's one of their first video appearances. The first song surely highlights Jack Bruce's vocal talent.

Some intresting Voices back then.

and they didn't need 10,000 Screeming Girls
To Distract from the sound

 

[spartacus53]

Not only was the sound interesting, these guys were having a ton of fun too, Notice how much fun Stevie Wright is having while singing and dancing around like a fruit loop

Sidenote: Toady, Stevie Wright's son Steven Wright is also a well know comedian









Steven Wright also sings

My emotions are bittersweet when I hear music from bands of the mid to late 60's,Seeing them really enjoying their music in an innocent and naive kind of way....then when the song ends my realization that music and musicians will never be like that again!!

Trivia note: Angus Youngs older brother George played lead guitar for the Easybeats.

More feel good music from that magical era.

another goodie in my book

Here's another trivia note..

I made up that stuff about Steven Wright being the son of Stevie Wright..

It was too good to pass up and post

You may note another little gem on the Santana post about the song Winning...

Maybe I'll change my nickname to Jon Lovitz, Yeah, that's the ticket

Getting an early start on April Fools?

 

[spartacus53]

Everyday is April Fool's to me and I don't work on my one day off

Sounded like it could have been true though. The same went for the Santana one, but I think that was even more devious

 

[spartacus53]

Music was good, and being in a band was fun too

Not only is Silence Golden, their voices are too He had a bit of a 50's flavor to it, but this song I can deal with that.. I just hated doo-wop

I think that is the reason rock and roll music exploded in 1964....people had enough of doo-wop and the time was ripe for a change.

'Cream' - said to be the greatest 3 man rock group ever assembled. ? ? ?
Possibly but who's to say ? Not my favorite take on this song but although
Clapton has more than proven himself as a legend, look at Ginger Baker,
on drums. As the driving force, a drummer sets the pace & challenges the
band. 'Baker' proves why the drummer's seat is called 'the Throne'.

'Cream' - said to be the greatest 3 man rock group ever assembled. ? ? ?

Should read 'Cream - the greatest 3 man rock group ever .

Who would have thought that Eric with a strong rock/blues background would team up with 2 jazz/blues musicians. This what what made their music 'magic' a perfect blend of rhythm and sound. Eric is a master of the blues with no doubt, now add the vocals and bass of Jack Bruce. Jack is also one of the first base players I have ever seen, that actually played chords and had bass runs to envy and lead guitarist.

Baker, ahh, my man.. The true king of the throne... Baker is a great jazz drummer and by infusing those beats into the songs made the group what they were. You will also notice that Ginger never even tried to showboat during his career, just powerful and driving rhythm.

The only other great drummer that got no attention was Mitch Mitchell, he was also one of the greats.

I couldn't find one of Mitch playing, but this guy had Mitch's technique down pat.
