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?
