Hi,

     This one is a hard one since there are so many great musicians and combinations.  But, it would be nice  for a

jazz fusion trio to see

    Tony Williams - drums
    Jaco - bass
    Tony MacAlpine - guitar

blues

     Billy Price - vocal
     Michael Bloomfield - guitar
     Noel Redding - bass
     Ginger Baker - drums

Still some very interesting FANTASY BAND line-ups.

This one has made me ponder deeply and being a rock guy, I think I have come up with my band.

Lindsay Buckingham-Lead & Rhythym Guitar, Lead & Backing Vocals
Dennis DeYoung-Keyboards, Lead & Backing Vocals
John Deacon- Bass & Backing Vocals
Ann Wilson-Lead & Backing Vocals
Phil Collins-Drummer, Lead & Backing Vocals
Early 70's Chicago horn section to round that out.

That 5 part harmony would be magical

WOOO HOOO Vista.  That would be a smoking show!

I kind of surprised we haven't had more DSA Forum readers to join in on this Fantasy Band discussion.

I was going to add one starting with Phil Collins as my drummer, but vista's is just plain perfect!
