Ah ha, same article apparently says a Bee Gees cover is in the set list? Concert was in Cologne, Germany.

So #BeeGees peeps, Blue Weaver played w/ Wu-Tang Clan last night. From Google Alerts: "How did the 79-year-old Welsh keyboardist Blue Weaver suddenly appear on stage? One might suspect the explanation lies in the fact that the musician..." in German & registration required! I haven't ...
