But that's not a "duo." Maybe it's a vocal duo, but there are two other musicians on stage playing the guitar and the percussion ... or are you just hiring nameless session musicians who won't even be in the light?
MY dream show would be Christine and Bob. Just the two of them on stage. Acoustic. Piano and guitar. It would work ... plenty of rockers perform just by themselves with guitar and call it "acoustic rock." (Roger McGuinn, Graham Parker, Steve Forbert for example.)
As for the big extravaganza with the entire band, it simply wouldn't work to have a zillion guitarists on stage together. But if they took turns, that would work. Mick and John are on stage for the entire concert, of course. Peter and Jeremy come out and do three songs. Then Jeremy sits down and Peter and Danny do two numbers. Then Jeremy comes back and he and Danny do two numbers. Then Jeremy leaves and Chris and Bob come on stage. Danny, Chris and Bob together do three songs. Danny leaves, Bob Weston comes on, that team does three numbers. (I guess you have to let Dave Walker come and do one song ... ugh.) Then Dave and the Bobs go off and on come Lindsey and Stevie. With Chris they get to do six songs. Then a revolving door effect takes place where Lindsey, Stevie and Chris all leave for a song or two and then come back, while Rick, Billy, Bekka and Dave Mason each get to do one song each. (Did I miss anybody? LOL)
Then the whole gang comes on stage together for the grand encore, consisting of two songs, "Oh Well" and "The Chain."
