Montreux 2012 - Johnny Marr + Alison Moyet join Chic onstage

Johnny Marr, Alison Moyet, and Mark Ronson joined Nile Rodgers/Chic onstage last night at Montreux 2012.  So far, still waiting for video to surface, but in the meantime take a look at this very short video montage with Marr and the gang (it's at the very end of the video, fyi.)  Nile Rodgers has also posted a few pictures on his blog.  Other fan shot photos are here and here. More video from the event is bound to show up later, so check back for updates!

Update: video is now available courtesy of YouTube uploader gfainky.  Watch Chic, Johnny Marr, and Mark Ronson play the Smiths' classic "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" with Alison Moyet on vocals.



Here's video of Chic performing "Le Freak" featuring Johnny Marr.   Around 13 seconds into the clip, someone close to the video camera realizes Marr is onstage and points it out to others (and sings along in an awesomely French accent, by the way). The video is shaky at times, but you can definitely make out Marr.



Here's another short video of Chic's "Freak Out" from last night featuring Johnny Marr on guitar (yeah, it's far away and you can barely make it out, but the person who shot the video got an awesome shot of the disco ball!)



Finally, the video below is a montage of some other performances from the event. A short clip of Alison Moyet performing the Yaz classic "Don't Go" is featured around 2:29
