darkandrew Posted October 1, 2015 Share 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.

Dad3353 Posted October 1, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 1, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 1, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Why, oh why, did the mullet ever go out of fashion? I think it's a great look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Actually, I'd lie to update my last reply - it's was actually Colin Vearncombe performing Wonderful Life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted October 1, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkandrew Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share 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 Share 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.

darkandrew Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hmm, yeah, I karn't quite work out who it was either... That singer seems a bit Fishy though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skychaserhigh Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Nice to see the audience clapping and singing along though instead of holding bloody phones up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
