My local PBS station is re-running the excellent “Concert for George”, which tripped a trivial but nagging problem: How can I identify miscellaneous people on stage whom I don’t recognize by sight?

The DVD doesn’t identify every participant, or connect the names and faces. I tried running a Google Images search of names listed in music credits, which helped me to identify a few of the unknowns.

But I’m still not sure if Jim Capaldi is who I think he is, and who’s that bearded guitarist to the left behind Jeff Lynne and Eric?

Any tips or clues would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I’ve got the DVD and it gives a complete list in the booklet. I found a picture of Andy Fairweather Low, but it doesn’t show him having a beard. It looks a lot like him, though.

And that is Jim Capaldi on drums.
