Timeline

Note: This timeline isn't meant to be exact when it comes to illustrating months and dates. Some of the years are wider to make room for more events, but a year divided in two may have one event in February and one in November, not exactly on 1 July. If the band went through 3 changes in a year, each change gets 1/3 of the space, even if one of the events happened in the course of a week (as in the case of Ernie Carletti, who was with the band for four months and never performed or recorded with them).
