Paul Weller playing 'I Walk On Gilded Splinters' live

[scottkershaw78]

they all show off a bit in this one dont they!!

[furQ]

Such a horrible, whitebread cover. Someone said it below, but the menace and soul of the original is totally absent.

[CrispyVinyl]

Great version! Almost as good as the original, but way better than Weller's studio version. The man has taste!

[seef0]

I love Paul Weller's energy, but i just heard Dr. John's original, and the menacing voodoo vibe is completely missing from this version - "I can make you stutter" makes a lot more sense when you're getting a Louisiana witchcraft creepout.

[Alfzzzzzz]

lovin it!



[genglemt]

I think this version sounds a bit like how The Spencer Davis Group might have done this song..

[1968tjg]

Have seen Mr Weller many times and have great respect for the man BUT this cover does not hold a candle to Steve Marriott / Humble Pie. Why you may ask ? Well because their cover is totally fooking excellent.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@1968tjg pretty hard to live up to Humble Pie's version, but don't forget the original by the good Dr.John. check out his accoustic piano version sometime, that man is coooooooooooooooooooool!!!! met him in Chicago quite a few years back, a great showman and artist

[1968tjg]

@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO Thank you for your feed back. The original by Dr. John is Fantastic but Steve Mariott is my "Musical Hero" So I am always very bias towards Steve/ Humble Pie/ SmallFaces. Kind Regards

1968tjg.

[PsychLion]

Good cover. Love the organ.

[rodahnlol]

Interesting note to Pogues fans out there -- Shane threw in the "Kon kon the kiddy kon kon, I walk on gilded splinters" part at the end of some of their live performances of the song "USA."

[maxinator3000]

BODIE

[DavidInSugarLand]

Yep, that's the brillant Carleen Anderson in white and her cuz Jhelisa singing next to Paul. Great song.

[psychedelicstan]

Agree, man. I like Weller, but this is supposed to sound like voodoo

[youamwho]

How the hell can anybody dislike this ...again, that BASTARD one dislike!

[TheChris952]

Not "Humble Pie" but great also! love Weller's rude way of playing this song ;-))

[juancarloscondegarci]

does anyone have a tab or lesson for this

[RedSoPretty]

This takes all the Southern drawl, voodoo psychedelia and creepy awesomeness out of the song. This guy tries too hard and the band is wrong for the song.

[blueprairiedog]

GREAT song. Covered by many artists, for good reason. 

[stephenmyers99]

I really really really really really really really like this...a lot.

[bikerbabe46]

Immense tune by a LEGEND !!!!!!

[esopsa]

This is Why Weller is the best this isn't even his song and he just fucking murder's it!!!!!!!!!!!! The music bully

[paulstearne]

@esopsa What the hell are you on about?

[kpgriff82]

shit hot!!!

[thenewfun]

listen to dr john

[menamestom]

yeah great original and really good cover!

[mikeynails]

And what else isn't that should be, then?

[mikeynails]

Why isn't this on the BBC DVD?! (It isn't on the BBC DVD, is it?)

[MrIan09d]

Paul is GOD!

he id de MODFATHER!!!

[UvaYakone]

The real Modfather is Steve Marriott.

No Marriott- No Weller- on several levels, the look, performance skills, song writing, attitude, and last but not least brilliant soulful vocals etc.

[thallassocracy]

The first cover version I ever heard of this was Marsha Hunt. It was an education. Marsha was too white to sing it (Mac Rebennack was black enough to write it).

[gasserized]

hahaa check out craddock ,he looks about 12...

[brokenstones1]

Quality performance, the whole set-up is really havin' it here

[fbfiveohv3]

love it

[xeryms]

heard this number on the the wire season 4 a perfect choice of song to end season 4 . Best tv show ever?.............yeah just about :)

[paulzeromi]

Just finished season 4, and I have to agree...it's just brilliant.

[smoovebert]

@xeryms yeah, it was amazing!

[george2912]

how weller hasn't achieved the success he has in the uk in america is beyond me

[bthor76]

Fuckin' A I walk on gilded splinters. Can't guckin' belive it

[wrexshunt]

fookin` superb, paul weller is like no other, a diamond geezer,

[tdm5874]

Wow!! This is good! I have always enjoyed the Humble Pie cover but this is a nice take!!

[wellerite1]

This version is a real bone rattler

[terrynutkins22]

this isn't the best version for chrissake. that goes to either the original or Jonny Jenkins - both so ball-breakingly good can't decide which I prefer.

[josh3xq]

this ain't shit unless it's on the SEASON 4 MONTAGE OF THE WIRE THE WIRE THE WIRE

[kimrabb]

I still love Dr. John's version the best. It reminds me of Louisiana Bayou country, where my family is from and it's not to rock and roll but more soulful and southern sounding.

But this is better than Cher singing it, have you heard that woman trying to sing this song. OMG! THE WORST

How much did musician get paid to play on her version?

[eyencyst]

sorry.ya'll,Dr.John did this song best back in 1970.

[cybershadow58]

actually recorded first in 1968 on the "Gris gris" album! best version ever!!!

[xanthick]

This is most likely 1995, hence the Stanley Road banners in the background. Astounding clip.

[mattd28]

it is

[clattybrown]

cooooooooooooooooooooool

[tondeman]

Best version I've ever seen of this song

[BIGPun1sher]

you should hear the allman brothers version, warren haynes ripping slide

[tondeman]

fucking amazing

[BIGPun1sher]

you should hear the allmans version

[triplebean]

Just brilliant, thanks for this. Notice the smile he gives the backup singers when they miss their cue for repeating back "till I'm murdered/dead" after the first verse? How great.

[golde07]

the last time i seen steve marriott he was singing this top song weller sings it ok but hes no steve marriott

[mojoelem]

One of his best performances.This was about 1993 i think. That's Carleen Anderson to Pauls right. Weller does a good Steve Marriot impression.

[taildragger51]

mojoelem: Weller always reminds me visually of Nicholas Lyndhurst. Great version...i was in the audience at the time.
