There is a new section under
LIVE - THE BAND

Every musician of all tours should be included there in the next weeks. Only problem is, I could not find pictures of all band members, especially many years back (Graceland tour)

If you have any (good) pictures please upload them in the ´pictures´ section under ´band´
For example:
John Selolwane a.s.o.

Hello

If someone could come up with some info about tour musicians in the 70´s and early 80´s I would be very thankful. It is nearly impossible to find info about persons like ´David Brown´ (or pictures)
I especially think about the S&G tour in 1982/83 (was this exact the same band than at the concert at the park?) , or the band on the 1974/75 concerts...

The 82 / 83 S&G Band was slightly different from the ´81 CP Band ... I´ll have to dig out my Wembley Stadium Programme 1982.

btw - Steve did not play drums? :-(
Does someone have a 1982 tour booklet?


In 1973/74 Paul only toured with the Jessy Dixon singers and Urumbamba as a backing band - right?

Bodo, the other Urubamba musicians were Emilio Arteaga, Una Ramos, and Juan Dalera. Pictures are indeed hard to come by, the ones on the reverse of "live Rhymin" LP,diffiult to make out. However there is good background info and pictures about their connection with Paul at Boleadora.com or Nukanchy.
