Cream was and still is one of my favorite Rock Bands. I Saw Cream in Vancouver BC not long before they Announced their Breakup.

I was there that night. Killer gig. I was too young to have seen them in the 60s so this was a dream come true for me. Also saw Led Zep when they played in 2007 at the 02. Another dream come true! 🤘🤘🤘

Every single person sitting in every single seat realized that they were a part of history seeing three rock icon legends performing and a night not to be forgotten. Nothing fancy, no autotune or back up singers or side musicians anywhere to be seen. They make their own instruments sing.

What I admire so much about this concert is that it's only the three of them and not a bunch of side musicians doing most of the playing.

1968. 2005. So glad they did it one more time. R.I.P. Jack and Ginger-thanks for the soundtrack of a generation.

Jack Bruce had an awesome voice. Everyone recognizes his playing true but his voice rocks.

God, Clapton's voice sounded GREAT in this performance!!! Incredible solo with some nasty fuzz. Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

Cream is three incredible musicians, THREE. I listened to this song and a flood of emotions swept over me and a tear formed in my eye, then I realised that if it had that effect on me, what must it have felt like for them? Thank you Cream for showing the music world exactly how it's done, regardless of how many years have come and gone. Timeless brilliance.

Does anybody notice the quality of Clapton's rhythm guitar playing while singing in an extraordinary way? He is a great singer, great rhythm and lead guitarist and composer. He has always been great in the studio and he also delivered on stage. He played with the greatest and also gave his musicianship as a guest to others. And he influenced millions of other guitar players. He is a really a complete musician and artist - thanks!!

One of the absolute best! We’ll done, Ginger Baker. Well done, indeed!

I absolutely loved Cream when they first came out , to me , every song was my favorite.....

This song rocks! I've always loved it.So, I asked my band to play it next jam. Can hardly wait!

I was six years old in 1968, and l got my dad's youngest brother record collection after he was busted in Houston,Tx. I remember listening to Cream,Buffalo Springfield, The Beatles and many others. My greatest recollection of Cream is White Room/ Sunshine of Your Love on a .45 7 in.vinyl. That just embeds into a kids head and will never leave the thought process. I have always dug music from ground breaking bands or artist,from early rock-n-roll to the ultra hard rock of Led Zeppelin,back to the country sounds of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings and other country bands. Never got into that rap crap!!!

Saw them on that tour in MSG....what a talented group. You could make a case for each of them to be the best ever at their instrument. Only drawback is the short time they were together, only 4 studio albums. But they crammed a lot of great music into those four.

I remember the exact place and time I first heard Badge. I was gobsmacked and still get the electricity every time I hear it.💛💚

It's 2019 and they are still great. Thank you for putting down In words and chords our emotions.

Love the Cream. Was lucky enough to attend the third of the reunion concerts in London.

So many of those we grew up with passing. RIP to all those that made our youth Great!

AMAZING. RIP Ginger, and Jack.

So sharp and tight. Shedding the years - playing like they're 16 year olds. Three geniuses!

Saw them in late 1968 in Albuquerque, NM, and music history has made Cream the most underrated super group.

Still amazing music all these years later.
