Amazing what you think about when out for a drive.................Came up with this for a thread
How many performances are made by having a famous ( Or just excellent ) session man ?
Here's my starter
While my Guitar Gently weeps .............Artist The Beatles
Star session man : Eric Clapton: Guitar
YouTube - The Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps Music Video
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Basically all?
If they're not then they're not famous so you can't really call them performances I guess.
