EC had already adopted the live in the studio approach on the album BEFORE
Pilgrim, From The Cradle.

I think it is no mistake that EC did NOT record Pilgrim live in the studio.

What Clapton songs don't sound better in concert than they do on record?

I think that every Digest member agrees that EC is better live than in the
studio.

Pilgrim may be sterile and over-produced but it is head and shoulders over
that booze riddled output from the late 70's.

Give me a sterile and over produced Pilgrim to a 'correctly' produced
Backless any day.

If Cream had had another two members it would have been a quintet.

But it wasn't.


Pilgrim is a great EC album even with the crap production, sterility and
drum machine.




So what's the score now?

Pilgrim lovers = 2

Pilgrim haters = rest of The Digest?
