Hi,

I was wondering, who are the backing musicians in the band for this concert?

The ones that I can identify (besides St. Paul, Sussanah, Jellybean, Eric and Jerome) are:

Miko Weaver - guitar
Wally Safford & Greg Brooks - dancers/vocals

The others:
??? - bass
??? - keyboards 1
??? - keyboards 2

Thanks,
jazzz

Hi Huey,

thanks for the info! St. Paul only plays keyboards (DX7),but not on all songs. There is an other guy playing bass. Strange thing is that the original album didn't contain bass-guitar. I remember an old interview with Eric Leeds, in which he mentions an alternative remix of the family album WITH bass guitar. According to mr. Leeds, it was very funky...

But still, who is the bass player?

From "The Vault", I found out the bass player could have been Alan Flowers from mpls.
