After this clip finished, just to be even more authentic the drummer got up and punched the bass player. Excellent cover

[Lanarkish]

There simply isn't a song that has been written which Richard cannot pick up and make his own. What an utter and constantly evolving talent Richard is and always has been.

Man, I tell you what, Richard Thompson is one hell of a good guitar player. You don’t often hear his name mentioned among the guitar greats, but he can hang with the best of them, whether playing like this or fingerstyle acoustic. He’s fantastic.

I'm a big fan of Cream and a big fan of Richard Thompson and I loved this. He stayed true to the original while still giving it an unmistakable dash of RT flavour.

[benjamintaylor]

Incredible performance. His playing is legendary but one thing I always appreciate about RT is how his accent shines through in his vocals. It’s so true to his speaking voice and his range is very impressive.

[peterrabbit]

What strikes me is that they're having FUN. I remember times like this as a musician.

[royverges]

Richard Thomson is my new favorite musician. What a range. What a strong musician! He seems to be able to play anything, and carry a concert by himself if need be. His band is great too.

[robertsheph]

I couldn't believe when he started singing how perfect he sounded. What a great rendition of that song!

[whsonic]

These are the things YouTube was made for.
Eric Clapton, eat your heart out!

[rocketpost]

Just discovered this after nearly 8 years. What a surprising choice and what a brilliant rendition. Absolutely as good as Cream. Special credit to Michael Jerome for his authentic drumming.

[wlewisiii]

Cream as seen by Fairport Convention. I'll take it.

[craigmeier]

First cover version of White Room I have heard that I could listen to all the way through. And that drummer joke was excellent!

[stuartliddle]

Love it. .. Who knew Jeremy Clarkson on Bass and Al Murray on sticks could do Mr.Thompson such justice!

[michaelk]

This is rather good, English understatment, it's refreshing and liberating to hear Thompson let rip like this as a rock power trio. He should do more of it... a whole album would be great.

[peterguglietta]

Besides RT's amazing guitar work, the drummer is bringing it with a fine Ginger Baker tribute.

[jezebeljones]

Richard Thompson's always been in a category all his own, with his guitar genius and his dark-toned songwriting, but wow, he can do any classic British rock and make it great, His voice and needless to say his guitar are perfectly suited to this song!

[richardbrucemusic]

Richard Thompson could sing the phonebook and find an appropriate guitar accompaniment. The man can literally do ANYTHING he wants with perfection!

[SuperchargedPathfinder]

Thompson plays a wah! 30 years a fan and this is a first! Awesome!

[namcat]

Oh jeez Richard! I must be in heaven....THANK YOU! One of your fans since early Fairport days. Cream fan since 1967...White Room! Psychedelic! Martin Sharp's beautiful Cream album covers are lovingly blazed into my brain.

[TheSpoonwood]

God that is one great drummer and  RT  is brilliant ..
