darkandrew Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) http://youtube.com/watch?v=nXzpC5cYXbI Found this on YouTube last night, never seen it before. As well as Midge Ure on guitar, Mark Brzezicki and Phill Collins on drums, I thought you might recognise the guy playing the Wal bass. Quite a house band. Edited October 1, 2015 by darkandrew Quote
Dad3353 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 'Fraid not. I think I recognise several in the audience, though (we see more of [i]them [/i]than the bassist in the video...). Maybe I blinked when he was in shot..? Note to self: Must clean my spectacles more often. Good concert, all the same. Quote
Dood Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 If you look for the Prince's Trust Concert 1988 on YouTube you will find the same house band performing with a whole host of artists! Quote
Dood Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Oh! here's a version! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE01-K5MKWk My favourite track in the concert has to be Joe Cocker performing 'The Letter' with Brian May on guitar... oh and one John Deacon on bass.. Mick's bass it seems! Quote
gjones Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Why, oh why, did the mullet ever go out of fashion? I think it's a great look. Quote
Dood Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Actually, I'd lie to update my last reply - it's was actually Colin Vearncombe performing Wonderful Life... Quote
visog Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 It's the incredible Mick Karn. Quite a line-up! As stated above, a similar line-up did a great job of a great Kate Bush song with Pete Townsend instead of MU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJvXpvH2-Hk This utilises MK's talents much more... RIP Mick. Quote
darkandrew Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) It's strange, I'd never thought of Mick Karn as a "standards" player. I don't mean that in a derogatory way, quite the opposite in fact, I'd just always thought his playing was too stylised and too individual to fit into a "house band". A man of great talent.

KevB Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Was hoping it might be Bilbo tbh... Don't really like that arrangement, if there was a song that absolutely [b]does not need horns[/b] it's that one. Edited October 1, 2015 by KevB Quote
darkandrew Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 I agree on the horns but I suppose it would be rude to invite UB40's horn section and not let them play. Quote
TrevorR Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Hmm, yeah, I karn't quite work out who it was either... That singer seems a bit Fishy though.... Quote
Shedua511 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Thank you for making me aware of this! wow, do I miss Mick Karn... he does an amazing rendition of sledgehammer (among other highlights), he really ownes that great bassline! Quote

skychaserhigh Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Nice to see the audience clapping and singing along though instead of holding bloody phones up in the air. Quote
Toddy Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Ha, crikey, now here is a thing, was quite a crush in that crowd, was the mandela concert, was three rows from the front when this happened, great memory, thanks for posting. Quote
