i recall this tour...weller at the royal court liverpool .....thrown this in at the start....i was in marriott heaven...love this video of this concert....some standout tracks but entertainment on the pink enamel guitar............the DOGS HUGE BOLLOCKS.
He tried, but failed, God bless him. Check out the Small Fakers, the lead singer does the most hard job on Gods earth, and sounds and moves and looks like Mr Marriott.
A small Faces fan here but fair play this is a great cover....a genuine tribute sung with affection for the originals and a nod to their influence I think.
Being of the 2nd generation Mod/Ska/2-Tone era... alas I wasn't born when the Small Faces were doing their thing.
This Weller performance was and still is simply stunning and it led to me "discovering" SF's.
Of course, the first time I played the original, I was absolutely blown away.
I couldn't envisage that it could possibly be any more exciting than this version but as we all know SF's recording of this song is about as good as music can get .
I remember standing in the queue for the toilets when someone said Steve Marriott had died that day. Great gig when Weller really started to find his feet but everyone will remember Tin Soldier more than anything !
@innocenti67 i was at a mod do in loughborough the day stevie passed away..very sad....laid to rest on 21st birthday...didn't really feel like celebrating that day....still miss the man......great cover by paul..great tribute.
Must be nerve racking for any mod like myself to sing such a classic mod tune

No he isn't the Steve Marriot, he's the Paul Weller.

Awesome. What's with Weller's dumb & Dumber haircut on this though?

I think Steve M would be well pleased with this - great tribute.

@innocenti67- indeed. And Paul wouldn't even attempt this if he didn't know what he was doing.

I can sing almost any PW song close to him, he is one of the greatest song writers ever. I love his work. Hats off to PW
