Paul was on the keyboards last night and he has an extensive resume. Roxy Music, Ace, Squeeze, Roger Waters backing band, the list goes on and on. If you have ever listened to commercial radio you have heard his voice. During the Eric Clapton set were several times where the band all went to the cover band extraordinaire status and played several of Paul’s hits with him leading the vocals. Many people have said this guy would be as big as Elton John or Phil Collins if the music world was totally built on vocal ability. He is still pretty awesome. Here is one of the favorites they played last night from the band Ace, “How Long.” This song is still a favorite of mine. What a night this was!

How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
Don’t admit that it’s part of a scheme
But I can’t help but have my suspicions
‘Cause I ain’t quite as dumb as I seem
And you said you was never intending
To break up our scene this way
But there ain’t any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasion
Don’t admit that it’s part of a scheme
But I can’t help but have my suspicions
‘Cause I ain’t quite as dumb as I seem
Oh, you said you was never intending
To break up our scene this way
But there ain’t any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
