My account correctly had Clapton replacing Topham first and then Beck and then Page.
Also, the supergroup idea/discussion came after the Beck's Bolero recording and (as I said) did include Entwistle.
Entwistle and Moon were not that happy being in The Who in 1966.
I think that a supergroup consisting of Beck, Page, Moon and Entwistle would have been awful.
Jimmy Page did not need a super busy drummer and bass player, he needed the rhythm section that he ended up with .

Apologies for misreading your post. You had it right. (Though Entwistle never showed up for the Bolero session.)
Perhaps not well known is Chris Dreja had a stroke that sidelined him a few years ago. McCarty is the last man standing from the original band.
I had tickets to see the current lineup last month in Staten Island but they canceled.
Agreed. If I think about the underlying reason why I prefer Zeppelin to The Who, it comes down to the rhythm section. To put a finer point on it, it's Moon's drumming specifically I don't really care for, I like groove.
Roger Glover & Ian Paice, sometime in the 80's based on Rogers very Michael Jackson looking leather jacket.

So Jimmy got JPJ to come and do it, which is never a bad thing.
I think Entwistle wanted to avoid the huge drama that would have ensued if/when Pete found out they were moonlighting.
Turns out there really isn't that much Keith Moon on the Beck's Bolero recording anyway.
I do not care for Keith Moons drumming either.
He was fine in The Who where Pete Townsend maybe needed Entwistle and Moon to allow him to stick to song structure with not much noodling, while the other two could noodle away.
I think of Keith Moon's drumming as similar to Mitch Mitchell's, and it works in some situations and not in others IMO.
Charlie Watts, Clive Bunker, John Bonham, Carmine Appice, Uncle John Turner, Mick Fleetwood, Levon Helm, Mickey Waller were the 60's/70's drummers in rock music that grabbed my attention.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.

Pretty sure Bob Rock did just fine after the Payola$

Funny you mention Mitchell, as I feel the same way. It's the reason I don't listen to a lot of Hendrix either. I sorta feel the same way about Ginger Baker, even though I listened to a bunch of Cream in my teens, and admittedly gained additional appreciation for the man after watching "Beware Mr. Baker" as well as the Creem Albert Hall reunion show.
That's a great list right there! I've been doing a deep dive into The Band in recent months. Picked up Rock of Ages recently.........holy crap! I had never really picked up on what a great groove Helm and Danko had, but damn......they are SO good!
