Rondinelli would be a great choice if Heep ever needs a new drummer. I’ve seen him several times live when he was with Blue Oyster Cult and he is great live.

>Sympathy was good enough but then John says everyone has a favorite band and that his is ZZ Top. He and the band then blow through a tight bluesy version of “Tush”. Those 2 songs alone are worth the $15 or so for the 3 CD set. If I new Lawton was a huge ZZ Top fan I certainly forgot it somewhere along the way.
