I agree with you (kentavo) Kenney did do some very good drumming on the 79
tour footage.
But on the farewell tour and the albums it is a bit stiff and unoriginal,
But how can any drummer play at top form when the lead singer doesnt like
you and wants you out the Guitarist just dissolved the band.  And you have
to fill the shoes of one of the greatest, most popular, heralded drummers in
recorded history.  Tell me would any of us fare better?
