40hz Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That sure looks like Mick Karn from Japan. Head Bob - ✅ Wal- ✅ Have I got this wrong? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Definitely Mick Karn, read about him doing the gig in his autobiography. Also if you look here... Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute (1988 TV Special) ...Mick Karn is in the cast & crew credits.

visog Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Wow... not his usual type of gig. No phwerps or parps on his Wal here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Paul Carrack has got a hell of a set of pipes on him. Edited November 1, 2020 by 40hz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I think most of us could ID Karn playing bass, even if the camera only focused a close up on his hands. He has very a unique plucking and fretting system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I remember watching this concert on TV. I think it was Phil Collins and Midge Ure who put together a band to back quite a few of the singers who performed as well as Paul Carrack - Tony Hadley, Paul Young etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, but it was earlier than that in 1981. He left Squeeze in 1982 and by the late 80’s was involved with Mike and the Mechanics. Think he rejoined Squeeze briefly in the early 90’s too. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Look up The Princes Trust Concert, 1988, same band and lots of lovely Karnal Knowledge. Oh and check out John Deacon playing Mick’s bass with Joe Cocker! Edited November 1, 2020 by Dood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I remember seeing Paul Carrack with Ace in 1974 or75 when 'How Long' was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once heard that the song was not about an unfaithful relationship but apparently written about the bassist moonlighting with another band who were trying to get him to leave Ace. Don’t know how true this is mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know how true this is mind. “Although widely interpreted as being about adultery, the song was in fact composed by lead singer Paul Carrack upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver.[4] The ‘friends with their fancy persuasions’ cites in the lyrics, are said to be in reference to The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver’s management.[5]” From Wikipedia 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that count as infidelity?😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
