Check out this all star line up playing the Beatles "While my guitar gently weeps" Watch until the end when Prince steals the show with his brilliant guitar solo, Dhani Harrison's face is priceless.

I am never quite sure if that Prince guitar solo at the end is "real", despite watching it countless times (hundreds, literally) over the years. If it is real, then it is equally extravagant & extraordinary. His hands & fingers must have been lightning fast. Either way, I love it.

I also much enjoy Cheesecutter Hat Bloke's contribution too. (Steve Winwood I think?)

Who is the rather familiar looking & somewhat flamboyant keyboard player at 1m ?

The keyboard player is Steve Winwood, and the guitarist is Marc Mann. For years I thought it was Winwood on guitar too.

Romeo and Juliet featuring Mark Knopfler on the Barnsley fighting guitar.

One of my favourite Dire Straits tracks.

Steve Harley superb performance of Sebastian with full orchestra.

This surfaced on my playlist a few days ago. 50 years old & has not dated one iota. Steve Harley died last year but after splitting with Cockney Rebel he had a whole career pretty much based on this one track.

I saw the original Cockney rebel in Torquay (1974) whilst on a family holiday I was 15 and they were brilliant. Then they split and Steve Harley and cockney rebel were formed. I saw them in Hanley in 1976, still brilliant. Had tickets to see him before he passed away but not to be.

Check out Steve performing Sebastian with an orchestra on YouTube it's pretty special.

just noticed Jones ranked 86th left it too late and needs to go through qualies

Quite surprised about that.  I had assumed she got in with plenty of time.  I know the seeds are chosen after this weekend, so assumed that the main draw entries were decided quite late too.  Suppose have to know the qualifying/main draw split earlier than the seeds.  She seems to run bad quite frequently.

Fery got a walkover in Colombia, which is a weird way to get your first challenger title, and a significant number of points for him.
