here are the line ups.
#1: Clarence Clemmons, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Dr. John, Jim Keltner, Nils
Lofgren, Billy Preston, Joe Walsh
#2: Timmy Cappello, Burton Cummings, David Edmunds, Nils Lofgren, Todd Rundgren,
Timothy B. Schmidt, Zak Starkey, Joe Walsh
#3: Randy Bachman, Mark Farner, John Entwhistle, Mark Riveria, Zak Starky,
Felix Cavaliere, Billy Preston
#4: Peter Frampton, Gary Brooker, Jack Bruce, Simon Kirke, Mark Rivera, Tood
Rndgren
#5: Sheila E., Roger Hodgson, Ian Hunter, Howard Jones, Greg Lake
It's difficult to say which one was the best. I loved hearing the old GFR and
Guess Who tracks having been a great fan of both bands. Gary Brooker soloed
doing A Salty Dog and it's no secret that I'm a PH fan too. The RS-ASB tour
with John Entwistle was the last time I was to see him perform. M and I had tix
for the Who tour wherein John passed away the day before the first show of that
tour. ;( Hodgson and Lake incarnations were also unforgetable. I still recall
Ringo saying, "I'm going to regret this but now I'm turning over the stage to
Mr. Greg Lake" to wit they followed with a complete rendition of CotCK! The
crowd went wild!
