Tuuur's 10.000 songs

I was going to post another eighties song, but then I read a post on the Telecaster forum about [[Cream_(band)|Cream]]’s 1966 song [[I Feel Free]] which is AWESOME! It has everything… maniac drumming, intricate basslines, fat distorted guitar fuzz sounds, excellent soloing, beautiful harmonies.
What can one possibly want more?

You can listen to it here while watching a photo of someone’s hands and cup of coffee.

Here are some other versions, just for fun:
– By Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D and Masters of Reality combined (EXCELLENT)
– By BBM (Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, Gary Moore)
– By the Foo Fighters
– By David Bowie
– By Belinda Carlisle

[[Cream]] is the band that got me into guitar playing most of all other influences. This is again a very monumental song, as [[Manfred Mann]] says: it was just there to be written.

Youtube – live in some red room.

Youtube – interview with Jack Bruce and Clapton on how they wrote it.

Learning to play guitar, I heard this one for the first time somewhere in the 1980s and was completely blown away by that solo. How could he play that? I thought.

Well, I didn’t know then that Clapton actually couldn’t play that too, because this is an edited version of a much longer live rendition of Crossroads.

Youtube – live in 1968.
