That's a lot of people. For whatever reason, my love for KC tends to run in inverse proportion to the number of people in the band. Alas, I was only six years old in 1974.

I'm really curious how three drummers fit in. I thought two were a bit
excessive.

I didn't even realize there were three, as I don't recognize a few of those names. I found two useful only in the sense that there was an actual drummer on stage while Bruford noodled around with all his electronic bullshit. But in general I agree... two drummers in a band is at least one drummer too many. Even if one of them is the Indian of the group.

Bruford was the one who had all the goofy percussion the last time I saw
them doing "The Sheltering Sky". Go figure.

I know Pat, but had never heard of the other two or Jakko Jakszyk. Thanks to Google, I now have about as much idea who he is as I'm likely to.

I hadn't even considered that. I must be getting old.
