Thx

According to the CD release the band credits are:
Robbie Lynn (keyboards)
Al Anderson (guitar)
Robbie Shakespeare (bass)
Keith Sterling (keyboards)
Mikey Chung (guitar)
Sly Dunbar (drums)

Additionally, "Tosh insisted that the stage be cleared of all the hangers-on and non-essential personnel before he came out..." Which indicates that the percussionist in question was one of the band members, perhaps Sterling?

Ok thanks Chris for the informations. But If the percussionist is in the original band, It's maybe Mikey Chung (Mikey Chung is a keyboard, guitar and percussion player, arranger and producer of Jamaican music.) according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikey_Chung

I can't find any records with Sterling on percussion.

Any other clues will be welcome.

Thx
