A blistering new version of the song ‘Plan B’ courtesy of the current line-up of the band ‘PlanB’ and which features on the Deluxe Tour Edition of the band’s second studio album, ‘Time Is A Diamond.’ The legendary Big Jim Paterson guests on both the recording and the video clip, delivering a very heartfelt trombone solo which only serves to enhance the sounds of the very capable and inspiring horn section of PlanB.
The video uses some footage from the original clip shot in China coupled with scenes shot in Vietnam during the band’s 2017 Fire Rooster Tour, updated band footage to reflect the musicians on this track and of course Big Jim with his musical contribution. The femme fatale for the Vietnamese footage is played by Haiyen.
