Absolutely, wasn't trying to take anything away from Alan's contributions, was just pointing out that other people played an important part as well. Thinking back to the 80s, Terry Williams' drums seem pretty overwhelming to me, they are just booming away all the time.
Dusty you probably know my opinion about this
They are booming the right way, in a very detailed a precise moments. Just listen to alchemy (I personally can't imagine pick there, maybe if they played in a club), songs that stayed in the set list from the On location tour are imho much improved. I just love TWs style...
Pick was very good for albums, but not gigs imho.
[Ha. Chris Whitten is based in Australia so probably not that handy. Plus Steve is Alan's mate, and did play with DS at Knebworth.
I think they could have "hired" a drum machine instead, because what he is doing is terrible imho. There must be gazillion of at least fair drummers in the UK who would do a bit better job than him. But its probably all about pals as you say.
