Create your favorite Stevie touring band

[Macfan4life]

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!

I know how you feel but to me Sara Fleetwood was the absolute best backup singer she ever had.

I wish Bob Glaub played more than one tour. The chemistry between him and SN was sweet to see.

The HBO show band lineup was the best.Others were good but the HBO band is imprinted in my mind to be the best.

I wouldn't change the BD lineup one bit. As good as a backing band can get.

it's Roy Bittan. And I love his work with Stevie....he helped her rewrite How Still My Love into what it is today, and turned BATB into something beyond her playing on the demo

I think Bobbye Hall is a woman.

Wasn't it Lenny Castro on the Dance?

Yes I know Bobbye is a woman LOL and she was NOT on the Enchanted tour though. You are correct, I believe it was Lenny Castro both on the Dance and Enchanted tour.
