Sunshine of Your Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qq_h4ZVxTE) from 1968.  This is a pretty cool video.

I had to laugh when I saw that this thread just above the Age - Too much comes with it thread.
How interesting to compare the 1968 and 2005 concerts of Cream. Rough wild boys with untamed music on one side and old Sir's with the same energy music on the other side. I like both sides of Cream Muisc. The tension between them keeps their music up. I think the old Crossroads version should be the Hymn of the Olymp.

Thanks Dave, a subject near and dear to my heart.  Whoever invented youtube should get some sort of award.

The two guys that made Youtube sold it to Google and believe me, they got insanely rich off that deal. You have to hand it to people like that. I cant even believe those guys ever thought they would even get rich let alone filthy stinking rich.

Wow Dave, that last one made me tear up.  To see all those greats, and not just guitar greats either, together on that song...that's beautiful!  
 
Thanks again Dave

It makes me tear up too; it's very moving, very emotional.  I might have to break down and get the DVD just for that song.

This DVD is a must. First half is indian music, second half is George's music played by many great musicians. This was such a sentimental concert - impossible to watch it without tears coming up (at least for our generation).

our generation
 
True enough.
 
A funny true story:
 
A buddy of mine teaches electronics and incorporates pictures of historical electronics/physics/whatever figures into his lectures.  When discussing power, he puts up a slide of Charlie Watts.  Not a single kid has had any clue that it's not the guy who had anything to do with the watt.  When Nicholas, my friend, tells them he's the drummer for the Rolling Stones, only a small percentage of them will concede to ever having heard their music!  Of course, each time he does this we all feel just that much older.  :`
