How so, Tom? Peter is clearly trying to do his best Eric copy. Where does he take it further? Supernatural is the only cut that steps out of the direct Eric mold, and though sustain and gobs of reverb within Claptons tone blueprint might seem novel, it hardly raises the bar.
Just my personal impression from listening to both. Peter inspires me more. Especially from the live recordings of Peter in the Bluesbreakers.
Supernatural is also something I can't imagine Clapton writing or "coming up with" at the time. Peter played a lot of solos that are more unique and to me, more inventive.
They're both fantastic. Clapton at his best maybe? I absolutely love both. But in that band, I think Peter took Clapton's place and stepped it up. :salude
