Paul just finished his first performance on Late Night. He came out right near the beginning of the show and performed "Cecilia" accompanied by Jimmy Fallon and the Stomp dance troupe. It was quite a cool take on the song. They haven´t posted that performance on their website yet but they posted a video of Paul performing Jimmy Cliff´s "Vietnam" which Paul said was what inspired him to write "Mother And Child Reunion," which he performed right after. Also a cool performance. That performance can be found here:

I don´t recognize a few guys in the band. Maybe I´m I missed the lineup change but I don´t recognize the drummer in this video (who also provides some background vocals) and I also can´t really see who the other keyboard player on the far right is. Anyone know?

Just to update; Paul just had his second performance of the show where he played a wonderful version of "The Afterlife." I´m sure the video of this and the "Cecilia" performance will be posted on http://www.LateNightwithJimmyFallon.com soon.

Thanks for sharing this - we can even watch it in the UK, sometimes it´s not possible with US TV programmes.

Hi Nick!

What a performance! The band really came alive on ´Mother´! I always thought the sound on the ´Surprise´ tour was a little subdued for some reason - but not now! Hurray!!! I´m seeing them in Manchester, UK.
As for the band members - the few you´re missing are Jim Oblon on drums, Mick Rossi on organ and the wondrous Jamey Haddad on percussion - hope that helps.

Cecilia would have been excellent had it not been for Jimmy Fallon. He tried to sing harmony and he wound up sounding awful.
