Not me either. My favorite shows were just the 4 of them, especially the White Album tour. As far as I know, there was no one playing on any song except for the 4 of them during that tour. They also had the best set list on that tour, too. But, the Rumours, Tusk & Mirage tours were OK, too. The extra musicians were not a distraction in any way, in my opinion. It wasn't until the Tango, BTM & Dance tours that it got to be too much. If you listen to bootleg recordings from those tours, it's hard to tell who is playing & singing on each song. I liked the simplicity from the 1970's best.
I LOVE the Welch shows from 1974 that I've heard, even though there is an extra keyboard player. In my opinion, the organ & synthesizer from Bobby Hunt & Doug Graves blended very nicely with Christine's piano. I think it enhanced their overall sound.
