Phil Collins is so good, but he so often fails to get the essence of a song. Ginger Baker put a strong and distinctive mark on this song, turning it from what we hear here into a very interesting bit of syncopation. Collins doesn't get syncopation, unfortunately, and so he doesn't get half of Cream. But, Eric forgot how to play, too, so it's all cool.
I listen to the Beano album all the time. I teach tracks off it to student guitarists so I know it back to front. I also saw Clapton in May for the 4th time and he played the best I've ever seen him, and for the first time in a long time he was the only guitarist in the band. I think it is not productive to compare a player who is now 66 to how he played at 19 or 20 that was 45 years ago.
@chooseyourblues I said he was sounding better then than he is NOW. He did sound pretty good on From the Cradle, but that was almost 20 years ago, that was the last record of his that was really worth buying, I'm a musician and it's pretty common that someone will say to me, did you see Clapton on TV the other day, he sounded like a shadow of his former self. You obviously haven't listened to the Bluesbreaker record lately, he's playing nowhere near as scorchingly now.
