Despite their fights and fallings out, these three seemed so at ease when playing together.

A funkier tempo than the original, and, as such, a (slight) reinvention of what was their biggest single ever (ironic, in that their label released it after the band had actually broken up).As in the original, if you focus on Clapton's solo, and don't take notice of what Bruce and Baker are also doing......you have only gotten 33 1/3% of what is actually going on.Addendum:Ginger Baker has never struck me as a "happy" man......but he seems happier in this clip than I have ever seen him.

Tony McQuarters

Ginger is certainly "out to lunch" on this one..he is sounding like he just doesn't want to be there!!

Guitar players should learn that Clapton was God for a reason. Watch him play. It's second nature to him. Unlike the fools now who are wincing and making faces, as they can't pull it off like him. The guitar is just an extension for Clapton, it's what's inside him. The others don't have it, that's why they have to make all those silly faces as they play.

Jeez, I'd forgotten how smokin they were together. Its as if they'd emerged from oblivion to appear in a room full of rock 'luminaries' to say: "this is actually how its done properly, boys". Awesome and so effortless. LOVED it.

Henry Waldruff

They played for the first time together since they broke up the day before this awards ceremony... and they come up with this!??!! Great musicians, all three of them. They are magic together, and whether or not they "ripped off" other blues greats (as so many previous posts mention), you cannot deny that they honor that tradition, have preserved it with integrity and made it their own and accessible to the public. I think Eric Clapton would the first admit that he is doing nothing original, that he has indeed merely tried to imitate the greats that came before him. That's why I respect the guy

Good Times then ..☝️Best times Now

Tempo is wrong, the riffs are nothing like what I learned from the original and what I taught my kids, Well I'm standing at the Crossroads, I believe I'm sinking down. Always loved Jack Bruce though saw him live several times, the last time the neck separated from his EB3 after the last encore, what a guy. Always sang from his heart, filled the entire auditorium with his heart, I'm looking forward only, loved JACK.

Doesn't it seem like you could hear a pin drop? Absence of roaring crowd.

+chill66blog The strat that sounds like everyone else? You mean the strat that everyone else sounds like. You see, you've got it backwards, my friend. It sounds boring cause NOW it sounds like a cliche. And who invented the cliche? CLAPTON. Go to any bar and you'll hear those strat licks you're talking about. And those strat licks are hoops that every lead guitar player has to jump through if they're worth their salt. And it's Clapton (whether they know it or not) who they're copying.

It's sad.... These guys are in there 60's and 70's now and they can blow 95% of the shit bands out of the water today.

merseybeat1963

Why play anything other than Marshall Plexi's..? It's the greatest rock amp ever made to begin with and its what Cream originally used...and G I B S O N 's

chill66blog

I don't get clapton, it's like he was afraid to sound AWESOME or something, I mean the tone he had with cream and the aggressive playing was so much better than the clapton with the boring strat that sounds like everyone else, so timid!

Gabriel Sandovalmariscal

a very flat version of the original no balls at all

Malcolm Coomber

Well the other 2 must have agreed to play it at this tempo - no doubt the Cream original "driving" version, together with "Sunshine of Your Love" are the two tracks that captured most of the public's attention.
