As I said, I don't know what the occasion of that was -- the footage apparently derives from MTV -- but it's an absolutely delightful performance.
The musicians, however, seem identifiable. The white-haired bass player would seem to be Will Lee (then of the David Letterman Show band); the drummer is likely Steve Ferrone (then of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers) and the guitar player -- having the seeming time of his life imitating the original Harrison solos -- is obviously the great Mike Campbell (whose guaranteed to be fascinating autobiography, I should add, will be available over at Amazon next week).
In any event, just fabulous.
Coming tomorrow: Actual new music by a band that isn't world famous!!!

Great stuff, thanks!
I was very, very surprised to read a few years back that the solo in Taxman was played by Paul. Maybe the internet was incorrect, as is often the case.
This was the practice session for George's '92 Albert Hall concert. There is a amateur video of the concert on youtube that's pretty good for an early 90's bootleg
I believe the guy behind the congas was Elton John’s percussionist whose name I forget
Ray Cooper?
At least Hitler Jr. Eric Clapton is not there.

Pretty sure that's young Dhani sitting on the riser in the back.
