The Wall Live at Earl's Court was my first and only time seeing Pink Floyd, so I couldn't really say about any others.

I guess bands use additional musicians to make their own sound more powerful.
Or they're just getting old.

Snowy White was the animals tour guitar back-up dodad guy.

I think two drummers is to make a more full sound of drums to overcome the other sounds live.
