    Lead vocalist male: Elton John
    Lead vocalist female: Diana Ross
    Lead guitar: George Harrison (sorry Jimi)
    Rhythm guitar: Steve Cropper
    Drummer: Charlie Watts
    Bassist: John Paul Jones
    Keyboardist: Craig Doerge
    Backup Vocals (male): the Jordannaires
    Backup vocals (female): the Pointer Sisters

    My criteria called for strong team players. On this note it would be difficult to rein in a Jimi Hendrix or a Stevie Ray Vaughan. George Harrison
    played just enough lead guitar to give the song proper direction.

    Elton John could go soft (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road); yet he could get down when he had to (Crocadile Rock).

    Listen to the 'Stones Get Off My Cloud and you will hear some good basic drumming from Watts.

    What white boy from the Sixties did not fall in love with the voice of the
    Supremes?

    Jimmy Page tried to get John Entwhistle for his super group but failed. When John Paul Jones applied, he was handed the part without a tryout.

    Craig Doerge did some really good work on Jackson Browne's Loadout/Stay number.

    Steve Cropper - most unassuming guitarist in town.

    The Jordannaires were there with Elvis for some of his best songs before he went saccharine.

    The Pointer Sisters - oh yes, we can can!

    Jim Morrison - Vocals (Doors)
    Jeff "Skunk" Baxter - Guitar (Steely Dan/Doobie Bros)
    Rich Robinson - Rhythm Guitar (Black Crowes)
    Dickey Betts - Lead Guitar (Allman Brothers)
    Keyboards - Mark Mercier (Max Creek)
    Berry Oakley - Bass (Allman Brothers)
    Brad "The EZB" Morgan - Drums (Drive By Truckers)
    Bill Kreutzmann - Drums (Grateful Dead)

    With creative input from Syd Barrett :)

    Also a bit of a toss up over guitar - I really wanted to toss Ryan Adams and Neal Casal in there (both from the Cardinals; after Cardinals Ryan Adams went solo, Neal Casal joined the Chris Robinson Brotherhood) but it was getting a bit crowded in there
