Saw them in Brussels when I lived in Belgium. Superb concert. They always had superb session musicians playing guitar on their albums so I was surprised by how accomplished a guitarist Walter Becker was.
I saw him live at Wembley Arena with Emporer Rosko as the support, most unusual to have a DJ as a support act.
They used all the best guys at the time, Larry Carlton springs to mind, stunning musicians. Walter Becker was no slouch on the guitar.
I often find myself back at & listening to one of their first two albums when I think they were at their best. Rio Grande Mud & Tres Hombres. Three piece bands you see - always the best.
The White stripes is an example of a two piece or the Black Keys. Seasick Steve did alright on his own.
It's all @RickyX 's fault, watched/listened to above to remind myself what a @&8$ B.F. was, and then remembered the genuine eyepatch (sic), went to Tesco's and got "Band playing on the Radio" and ended up with Ferry Brainstain. As if it couldn't get any worse this was followed by "Stars" sung by an even larger Tuesday, you know that one who sings i'd give it all up for you" 10 million times in a 3 minute song. So thought I would return the favour but with Alice from 3 years earlier.
Mrs J biker does not even like rock, but she loves this album. When the levee breaks now…thinking 3 next, obviously not in order!
