Very cool. I didn't know he was doing that.

Wow, that's an amazing recreation of the album sound. Would love to see those guys do a full live set.

The sax player on the far left kinda looks like Jeff Scott. Image

Great band.

Another Ric player was in that clip.

Jimmy Vivino, Conan's guitar player was on the keyboards.

Will Lee is excellent on bass. I would expect anything he was involved in to be great, and the Fab Faux are great.
I recently went back to playing a Rickenbacker bass. Its like meeting an old friend again

I thought Ronn Roberts might have chimed in here. It is a fantastic video. They have just gone for making it sound incredible. I like the fact that they arent trying for the look as well ! I hadn't heard of them or Will Lee before seeing this.

Will Lee (at least, maybe others?) of Fab Faux is in Paul Schaefer's Late Show band, so he didn't have far to go to get this gig!

Will Lee has been with David Letterman since the show's inception in 1981. "The world's Most Dangerous Band" or that was what they used to be known as anyway.

I agree with you whole heartedly Keith! Another thing that is a little pet peeve is when they get the look, but the bass player is right handed!

Will Lee is an awesome bassist, although, someone here once posted a pic with him and a Ric and he looked awkward with it.

Yeah, the local Beatle band, The Britins, are great, but their "Paul" is right handed, and their "George" is left handed. It always looks goofy to me.

The Fab Faux are great, we have the same attitude with our show; get the music right. We do have costume changes but it's just part of putting on a great show, we're not a "Wig and Girdle" band tho'.
We don't look like The Beatles but we do try to sound like 'em. And... I'm left-handed ;)
