Mystical band question

I'd have to say, in all honesty, Tony Westcott in Humbert with Ari Vais, Paul Pelis & Henning Ohlenbusch. Towards the end of that band, we were essentially pulled apart by having very different goals and aspirations. But I looked forward to each week's practice. Whether I was greeted with a typically fantastic new Ari or Henning song to work on or I got to hear how those wonderfully creative partners of mine would masterfully arrange great parts to my own nascent song ideas, or we would blast through songs from our repertoire or just rock out to some riff, it was to the best of my recollection, always captivating and thrilling. I doubt that our live show audiences got the same thing I got from our practices, for a variety of reasons (not that we were bad live; on the contrary, I think we sounded quite good most of the time) but when it was just the four of us rehearsing, arranging a new song, or just jamming, I can't imagine enjoying the experience any more if I was in The Beatles or Husker Du or The Velvet Underground or any other famous band I admire. I only wish it could've lasted longer and we had had the opportunity to share the material produced with more listeners.

By the way, this is no knock on Brians Marchese and Osley, Frank P. and E.J., who all made contributions to the band but the apex of my musical career was with taht unit of Ari, Paul, Henning and I, and each of us were equally creatively involved. Just the other day Henning and I were musing about how the ideal would've been to have had Frank P. produce a Humbert album. He always understood and loved the band and could've captured the sound of us better than the co-producers of "Lunchroom" and "Almanac" did. Uh-oh, I gotta head to a meeting RIGHT NOW. Bye....
