Still brilliant.

I'll have to listen again to that.

He's one of the only musicians I really wish I had managed to see live.

Ditto.
He won't perform again live however.
He say he has hearing issues.

I've mentioned before about a concert he gave in Central Perk in 1991 and featured many black musicians from across the world: Africa and South Africa, Caribbean, South America and black American. Absolutely fantastic and he was more than generous in allowing these largely unknowns literally a stage for a world audience.

It was on Sky Arts I think.

He did Call Me Al that he performed with Chevy Chase on the sax. Paul is quite tiny wee whereas Chevy is a tall lad. Quite a sight.

This clip shows this performance and gives a feel for the make-up of the band
