Reply to "Ok Bruce "the Darkness" reissue is cool but...."

stripped down band would be the best....but keyboards need to be there


bruce
max
roy
garry

these would be the essentials
sax probably needed, but agree that unfortunately the C has seen better days...
for me just seeing clarence is always an important part of the show...he was great at msg on the river show last year, but he was also pretty weak earlier in the tour...listening to him guest dj the other day makes me think he is not up for any more touring though...so it will hhave to be someone else

as far as other guitars, nils just hasn't been used to his full potential, steve gets more attention, and bruce really only plays lead not rhythm. so probably steve

sounding like the old e st band minus big man

organ...important part of the music over the years, so probably charlie

what we don't need next time around if there is one
back up singers
patti and soozie

ok bruce..i'll give u a few options

1. stripped down full band. bruce garry steve roy max charlie and new sax player

2. power quartet. bruce garry max roy

3. solo

3a. solo with nils on guitar and backing vocals
