Anybody know if Jimmie is the touring bassist again? I'd hoping like hell he is, I'd love to hear him live. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 1834 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, May 30, 2005 - 7:07 pm:    Steve Gadd (drums), Jimmy Johnson (bass), Michael Landau (guitar), Luis Conte (percussion), Larry Goldings (keyboards), Andrea Zonn (fiddle) and Arnold McCuller and Kate Markowitz on backing vocals. rraymond Intermediate Member Username: rraymond Post Number: 177 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, May 30, 2005 - 9:53 pm:    Oh man, thank you Dave! It looks like a great line-up, and it's capped off with Jimmie himself, s-a-w-e-e-t! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 1838 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 6:05 am:    Back in the '70s Steve Gadd was one of my favorite drummers. kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 880 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 6:11 am:    Ditto for me: Steve is great! His work with Paul Simon and Steely Dan are particular stand-outs. kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 881 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 6:14 am:    Looks like JT again put together an all-star who's who of studio greats for this tour. All due to the obvious benefits of stardom, I suppose, LOL!
