Please Help ID this bass player from 86/87

This looks a lot like Scott Smith. And the timing is right too.

Wow, getting a lot closer in terms of looks:

Wears the bass at the same height too.

A big step closer, maybe even a winner?

A friend took this pic at a show in 86 or 87 and forgot who the band was.
Location: University of Texas El Paso, homecoming activities

Any help is appreciated. Thx

Well hell's bells... I'm from El Paso. But I was born in 86. Let me send some messages and see if anybody from back home remembers anything. Any idea if it was a local band or a big name headliner?

 

[Papazita]

That's not Nick Beggs, is it?

Closest yet, bass matches.

Dauber from Coach?

(sorry - just having fun, and hope you get a real match)

 

[Spidey2112]

ELI?

 

[jongor]

I gotta ask….why do you want to ID this guy? Does owe someone money, or bang someone’s girl friend or something?

 

[bass12]

That is definitely not Mark King.

Isn't there some kind of software that could recognize this person?

In Chrome, right click on the image and click on "Search image with Google" - brings it up in Google Lens, which does a surprisingly great job of finding info on pictures.

(Disclaimer - I work for Google, but not on anything closely associated to Lens. Or Chrome)

I cant find my readers, but that looks like Bootsy Collins from here.

 

[SloFingers]

It's obviously Sting...
I can't believe no one has ID'd yet
