However much LB's star may have faded it is testament to his talent that when he's not in FM it needs 2 players to fill the slot.

I’m sure they could have done it with Neil and their usual auxiliary guy.

Agreed, but it's also a testament to him being such a royal PIA flip-wit that he managed to gett himself kicked out of the band that's finally stopped putting up with his nonsense after 40 years.

Are you sure that they could?  LB has a vast repertoire of guitar faces.

Are you sure they’re guitar faces? It looks like he’s approaching Billy Mill roundabout* on most of these..?

Quite but I am far too refined in my upbringing to mention it on a family friendly forum.

Heeheehee - not

In the 60s, and a few recent tours IIRC.

[bazzbass]

in the Peter Green days?

But the lineup with the girls there was only Lindsay iirc?

Nah, on recent tours they've had a load of axuillary musos  - even someone shadowing Mick F.

[casapete]

Certainly won't need a shadow guitarist for Mike Campbell - stunning guitarist.

Many years ago at a club where I was in the house band, we had a quite famous 60's group on. I remember a guy behind the amps at the back of the stage doing most of the lead vocal whilst the original frontman 'sang' and entertained the audience. They must have done it okay though as they got away with it without being sussed! There has been a lot of conjecture about Bernard Fowler's alleged similar role with the Stones for many years, although I haven't seen any evidence of that TBH.

One and a half times what Talking Heads are doing with their two bassists on that Talking Heads topic obviously.
