Nobody could capture a 'haunting vibe' like Neil in his heyday, man ... he was the best right here. It don't get any better.

I love this performance. Just him and his brooding song, and what a song! He moves me, man!

Strangely enough, I just watched Cream's 2005 reunion version (at Royal Albert Hall) of I'm So Glad, and it was marvelous. I would love to listen to a production involving Young and Clapton.

Am I foolish to expect a production involving Young, Stills, Clapton, and Baker?

Ginger's a 79 year old drummer ... and I don't think he's cared for himself like, say, Charlie Watts, put it like that. Haven't seen him do anything for a while now, musically.

The other three, though ... yeah ... I could maybe see that, and it'd probably be amazing ...

That is indeed asking for too much. But it may be very interesting, if not lovely, when the other three get together. Derek and the Dominos was a very successful experiment, and earnest. So, there's a precedent for a seemingly unlikely collaboration. But I know I'm dreaming.
