Of all the tours and musicians Stevie has used.....create your favorite touring band.
Here is mine:
Drums: Rick Marotta - Rick is one of my all time favorite drummers. He plays so heavy and loud and he added one of the few highlights of the Rock A Little tour. I wish Stevie would use him on every tour. I know Stevie loves Russ Kunkel but I prefer Rick's drumming.
Lead Guitar - Waddy Wachtel - that's easy enough. Great chemistry and I love that he played lots on Bella Donna so I love to hear anything from Bella Donna live. To hear his guitar play at the beginning of How Still My Love is amazing. I don't think this song can be done live without Waddy.
Rhythm guitar - Les Dudek - He is more of a lead guitarist but for this tour he will play rhythm. What a treat to experience his guitar work during the Whole Lotta Trouble tour. He adds such an edge to Stevie's live performance.
Percussion - Bobbye Hall - tough call. Stevie's percussionist during the Enchanted tour was off the chain. I think he also was on the Dance FM tour too. But nostalgia wins me over.
Bass - Bob Glaub - This is probably the toughest call. Wizzard is a runner up. Stevie has worked with some amazing bass players.
Piano and keyboards - Roy Brittan - This was actually the easiest choice. Every Stevie tour should include Roy. He adds so much to the live show
Keyboards - Benmont Tench - Just wow to get Heartbreaker sound from her 2 first tours. He adds such mystery and depth to the live music.
Back up singers - ONLY Sharon and Lori. I draw the line on this one. I don't want 3 and I want no substitutes!
