@Super…Mason is an exceptional 12 string player and played on several Beatles recordings. I never saw him with Traffic, but did see him solo a couple of times and he is still performing regularly. For drummer, I would have to go with my former classmate, the late Jeff Porcaro (Toto, as well as hundreds of recordings for artists such as Steely Dan, 10cc, America, Bee Gees, George Benson, Jackson Browne, Cher, Joe Cocker, Natalie Cole, Les Dudek, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Michael McDonald, Pink Floyd, Leo Sayer, Boz Scaggs, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Warren Zevon, etc, plus countless soundtracks) and on bass, I’d have to go with flea (RHCP), another local musician (Fairfax High School…he was initially a trumpet player).
PS: I’ve love Thorogood…saw him a couple of times just in the last several years. He can’t play guitar quite like he used to (has a good lead guitarist in his band) but still puts on a great show.
