What would be your ideal Dave & Friends lineup

[BTBaboon]

Figured this would make for some good discussion after some talk about it in the Boyd thread when thinking about a post-Carter retirement situation.

What instruments would you like to see and what musicians would you like included?

Mine was:

Dave Matthews - Acoustic Guitar
Stanley Jordan - Electric Guitar
Branford Marsalis - Saxophone
Andrew Bird - Violin
Bela Fleck - Banjo
Stefan Lessard - Bass
Kris Myers - Drums

With occasional guest spots from John Mayer, Trey Anastasio, Victor Wooten, Eric Krasno, Carlos Malta, and Brandi Carlile.

I like your lineup... I'd just switch out the drummer with Charlie Benante.

[eggsrsweet]

Dave Matthews - electric guitar/vocals
Danny Barnes - banjo/back up vocals
Lovely Ladies - back up vocals
Post Malone - back up vocals/guitar
Travis Barker - drums
Flea - bass

Bro, you know what!?


....



No, that's a pretty interesting lineup with Dave on electric and Flea + Travis Barker. I'm not sure it would be "good", but it'd be "different" for sure.

And Scrock can talk about the eggs.

Damn, badass

[Cptn. Monkeyman]

Dave Matthews - Acoustic Guitar/Vocals
Tim Reynolds - Electric Guitar
Trey Anastasio - Electric Guitar
Stefan Lessard - Electric Bass
Béla Fleck - Banjo
Howard Levy - Keyboards/Harmonica
Omar Hakim - Drums


Plus a shit load of special guests (Branford & Wynton Marsalis, Oteil & Kofi Burbridge, Jeff Coffin, Victor Wooten, John Mayer, Jean-Luc Ponty, Rashawn Ross, etc.)

[BTCS_JTR]

Dave Matthews - Acoustic/Vocals
Joe Russo/Lamont Taylor - Drums
Marco Benevento - Piano/Keyboard
Felix Pastorius - Bass
Scott Metzger - Electric Guitar/Vocals
Bela Fleck - Banjo

So basically this would involve JRAD not doing a tour of their own, but damn are they good musicians.

I'll throw in Pat Metheny, Victor Wooten, Branford Marsalis, Stapleton, and Trey as guests.

I don't get how there hasn't been a Hornsby sit-in at some point.

[kingofkings]

would be awesome to see Peart come out of retirement for Dave. 2 of my most listened to bands and best lyricists around, playing together!

He has said some very positive words about DMB fans in the past. Also, his son played college basketball and was a 3 point specialist, which means he had maybe the greatest knickname ever - the Range.
