Create your dream band

This lineup is subject to change, but for now I'll go with:

Lead vocals: Sam Cooke
Guitar, backing vocals: Bruce Springsteen
Guitar: Keith Richards
Bass: Garry Talent
Drums: Hal Blaine
Keyboard: David Sancious

 

OK, Joe. We'll open. You close, as long as Otis and Sam get to sing "Shake" together.

 

Sounds good to me.

 

Elvis Costello, lead guitar; Michael Stipe vocals (and crazy dancer); Phil Collins drums; John Taylor, bass and Davey Jones, tambourine.

 

And Otis, Sam, and Bruce encore on "Quarter To Three," which I always thought was a stone highlight of any Springsteen show back in the day.

 

This thread is proof that, if you hang around for at least a year at SportsJournalists.com, every music thread is eventually a DB.

Worth reading if only for Joe's post on Page 2 where he says he'd want Wilco around for handclaps.

 

We'll go with this line-up:

Drums, Vocals: Levon Helm
Bass, Vocals: Rick Danko
Keyboards/Piano, Vocals: Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel
Guitar: Robbie Robertson

Or if you desire a fantasy rock and roll lineup:

Drums: Keith Moon
Bass: John Entwistle
Guitar: Edward Van Halen
Vocals: Natalie Merchant

 

Vocals: Corey Taylor (Slipknot/Stone Sour -- goes from smooth and mellow to raging and raw in a second)
Guitar: Jimmy Page and Zack Wylde
Bass: John Paul Jones
Drums: Danny Carey (Tool)

 

How about dead dream band? Someone please help with bass and drums.

Lead Guitar: Jerry Garcia or Jimi Hendrix
Vocal: Freddy Mercury or Jim Morrison
Tambourine: Janis Joplin

 

Guitar 1: Jimi Hendrix (no-brainer)
Guitar 2: Dimebag Darrell (RIP)
Bass: Cliff Burton (who is getting a ton of love on this thread already)
Drums: Mitch Mitchell (totally underrated)
Vocals: Jenny Lewis

 

Good version of this on the Hammersmith Odeon show CD.

 

Also in the No Nukes movie.
