We are HUGE Joe Bonamassa fans and have been for years. The drummer you mentioned was on the Letterman show. Reese Wynam on keys is a legend. The three Australian background singers are each stars in their own right. Kirk Flechter, guitar, is renown. The trumpet horn guy is a well known producer. The best of the best!
Many thanks for the YT TV info/endorsement; we'll look into it further.

Ahhh, the Letterman show . . . I knew I knew that guy from somewhere . . . silly me, the Johnny Carson drummer would have gone too far back in time.

And this might be obvious to longtime musicians (which I am not) but I'm learning that it's not enough to have just one brilliant musician in the band if you want longterm success. That one guy (whoever he/she may be) needs near-equals if not absolute musical equals in their own domain and instrument. It just takes one semi-weak link in the chain to have a so-so band, especially when playing live.

I'm guessing that especially when a band reaches a certain success level, that the entire band (not just the front man/woman) is deeply involved in the auditioning process when a new member is needed.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
