Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?

Late in their history, Capaldi moved from the drum riser to the front of the stage (he was a songwriter as well as drummer), and Hawkins and Gordon were brought in to play double drums. Do a search on Google Images for pics of them on stage.

Wikipedia says Jim Gordon was a member 1971-2, Roger Hawkins (and bassist David Hood, Roger's rhythm section partner in The Swampers) 1972-3. So Jim and Roger were both playing drums in Traffic during 1972. After Roger left, Capaldi returned to the drummers throne.

It's a silly topic really but still...NRBQ were an astonishingly great and original band and crazy good live. Little Feat in the 70s were considered the best live band out there...that opinion was shared by a lot of the English guys like the Stones and Zep, and they were likely faves of just about any musician playing in the 70s...including me. Lowell George (of Feat) produced at least one Dead album, and his one solo album is very cool. The Band were amazing, and I consider them an American band...saw them as the Hawks with Dylan (no Levon at that time), and later also as The Band, and even once later without Robertson...I wore out a copy of the "Brown Album" and that still is in the rotation around here. If you think Rock and Roll is dead I suppose you missed the SRO insane Greta Van Fleet show at Red Rocks last week...my CO based daughter sent me some live video of ’em. Derivative (so what?), young, and fun...American! 

I now remember. My apologies.

Isn’t the lp "At The Canteen"? The cover shows a messy table after a big meal?

I think Dave Mason was involved then?

For some reason I cannot find my copies.

"Medicated Goo"...……….I'm going to go crazy until I find them......

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers also Aerosmith quickly come to mind. CCr has to be right up there.
