Oh God. I had to go and see Feeder once at a festival because we got bullied out of the Beardyman tent by a load of lairy Matlock teenagers on their first E. I've never felt so middle aged.

I must admit that after much angst I voted for Rush. Geddy and the Professor are/were in a class of their own, and Lifeson is no mean axeman.

This is where the quirk of what constitutes a proper 3 piece kicks in.
Whilst there are 3 members who all play instruments, they tend to have a few others on stage during live performances.
I doubt they could recreate their sound without input from others.
Mix Master Mike being one of the key extras, he’s even the 4th member in your video.

Indeed. Even Green Day use a 2nd guitarist for their live shows.

Rush, Cream, JHE, Muse, all play(ed) as trios live and there was nothing small or lacking in their live presence.
Hell, Geddy Lee sings the songs and plays bass as well as keyboards. He even has a special keyboard he can play with his feet if he is too busy playing bass and singing to use a regular keyboard.
So did Motorhead, Rory Gallagher and The Pirates...I know because I 've seen all of them.

My old feller remembers seeing them as Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.

I wasn't thinking about live performances particularly to be honest. All the production/mixing etc which goes into creating the sound... Actually I'm boring myself with this level of pendantry so I'll leave it.

What about the ultimate supergroup, Rod, Jane and Freddy from Rainbow

Jane was married to both Rod and Freddy (but not at the same time, no overlap either).
Freddy also once saved Bill Oddie from drowning .

Did you know that the original Betty, whose name really was Betty, was a talented journalist. She left the trio to cover the Nuremberg trials for a major newspaper. She was replaced by her daughter, whose name wasn't Betty.
Strange but true. (No really, this one is true)
