Micky was brought back to keep the sound on a foreward cohesive track, on the one (for any funk fans.) The post hiatus sound was much more linear and danceable, something 73-74 was not. Gotta keep the kids dancing.

Some say, 'two drummers is too much.'

I say, the dead started to hit their stride in 77

......
Understandably some can not hear or distinguish the sound. A good pair of headphones help or balanced speaker placement at a moderate + volume.

here are some highlights that can help you distinguish the two drummer sound.

Knights in White Satin being played at the end of the Sonny Stealgrave arc on Wiseguy was one of the greatest TV moments ever

or just maybe the drummers had good ears and insight into the music the band played, omg mysterious stuff. Pigpen dying was a great move for the band.
