Depending on the exact year & tour, his band was generally a little more than "random". DLR Band members in the 80s & 90s included Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan, John 5 (on bass)and Edgar Winter. Not to mention Matt & Gregg Bisonette, Steve "The Deacon" Hunter, Ray Luzier, and some top studio musicians who rarely toured otherwise.

It really wasn't until into the 2000s that the star power in his band tailed off noticeably
