Instant Karma video

Post by servant »

Just came across (again) the video of John doing Instant Karma. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=EqP3wT5lpa4

An obvious lip-sync, but the players are a bit odd. I can make out:
John - piano
Yoko - knitting a sweater (her best performance...)
Alan White - drums
Klaus Voorman - bass
Mal Evans - tambourine
??? - another bass !
?? - still-picture photographer

I don't think it ever shows the face of the photographer, but clearly shows the second bass
player standing between Mal and Klaus. Does anyone here know who is this fellow?

Thanks,
Dean

I think the second bassist is Tommy Shannon, maybe.
