People, I have never read anything about the 2nd drummer on this tour in any of the reviews.

So is he an enrichment? Or do Steve and Robbie just play together the same things, or does Steve one song and then Robbie one?
For me it is a little bit strange to have 2 full drum kit´s... why not a percussion player instead?

...so he is just there to jump in for Steve if he becommes suddenly total stoned, or what?

I am not a musician, but to me they played at the same time....Steve was straight back from Paul on the stagein the back...and the second drummer on one side....

At the Milwaukee bootleg you can hear they play the drums together, it gives a better and fuller sound at songs like Mrs. Robinson, Cecilia, Diamonds, but a bit too short IMO especially on Diamonds I would prefer a longer drumpart, Steve and Robin sound good together.

No wonder they decided not to play "50 Ways..."

Guess it´s difficult to play the drum part in sync...

So they just play the same thing?

Thats sounds somehow stupid if you ask me...normaly every band has just 1 drummer, and thats enough. :-)

Can´t imagine they are playing the same thing all the time. Many bands use a 2nd drummer for their live shows. It sounds better and bigger and they have more rhythmic Possibilities.

I was also at Milwaukee. They both played together but not the same thing. I thought it was very effective.

I uploaded 2 songs in excessive fans.

I hope they will both join the Europe tour, if there is one....
