*Shit!!!! This is awesome - I had forgotten how the guitar tech / roadie came out on stage and rocked with them until this reminded me.* This is fucking great. Damn I had forgotten how fantastic Paul Weller was live. Shit this is 20 years in the past now too. I saw him on this tour in Boston MA.
Saw many many Weller concerts, saw Dave Liddle many many times tuning guitars 'n sound 'n stuff, unfortunately never saw him join in and show just how good he was. ✊
A great band lineup around this time. Don't forget Yolanda Charles on bass and Helen Turner on keyboards. All held together by the fantastic Steve White.
In the sixties a group of school leavers 16/17 started a band. Their first gig a local church, gear bus a wheel barrow, they called themselves „The Barrow Boys“ Pete York Rhythm Guitar, Dave Liddle Lead Guitar, Pete Sully Bass and Vocals, Mike Franklin Drums. Eventually called Thyme Flys them with Polydor changed name to Pete Sully and the Orchard (by then Pete York had left seas now a 3 man band). Often in the Studio, the 60‘s rocked for live bands. They toured UK, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. Took part in talent contests but were too blues orientated. Dave was shit hot in Guitar, Pete as hot on Bass. Then 3 and 4 minute songs rapidly became 20 minute improvisations. We lived in each other’s pockets, knew what each other was thinking as we were never apart. Sometimes I look at the photos of the band. Pete Sully wrote his own material such as Evil Woman, which is now a cult song. RIP Dave. Shame I can’t upload old photos. Both you and Pete were a major part of my youth, we were a shit hot Band. Mike
I love this video. They are having a ball. Fantastic musicians. Great that they showed plenty of Steve White working his magic. Often the drummer gets left out on videos.
More amazing Sh&*%. You got me. Love this era and style and how they just jammed! I miss this stuff and lyrics are truly not in this generation. What happened?! I could go on.
An utterly sensational performance. I can understand that those of us that got to see this line up through the 90s, have it ingrained into ourpsyche, as quite simply the best line up. Steve White, Helen Turner, Yolanda Charles, Marco Nelson, Damon Minchella, Seamus Beaghan, Edgar Jones. The list goes on. It’s great to have Jacko Peake back on woodwind though. This performance epitomised the 90s Weller sound. PWs choice of players, (bar Steve Craddock), have never been the same since; with the same energy, skill and sound.
Dave Liddle was an old family friend of ours. I used to spend long afternoons in his Guitar Shop in London with my Dad and Brother. Always a great guy and let me have all the free Hot Chocolate I wanted from his little machine. I really miss his stories and generosity.
How many rock stars at their peak would have the generosity and balls to put two fingers up to convention and let their roadie / tech get up and do a song with the band? Weller is a legend in more ways than one.
@@Nebucanezzer - yes he is a gent and I understand that about Dave's passing. My dad was a Northern league footballer and referee - we contacted several of his friends at Leeds United including Eddie Grey and Peter Lorimer - they paid their respects to the family privately but stayed away on the day. The players would have become the centre of things which they understood and did not want.
Had the pleasure of meeting Dave several times in Kingston. He use to come into a shop i was working in to buy computer games. Very unreserved and down to earth. Always wondered why Paul never went to his funeral.
Trust me, Weller DID go to his funeral, as did I. I can picture it now, Bonner Hill Rd, mid afternoon. Weller turned up, honestly. I remember being struck at how much taller he was than I'd imagined.
Rob Millis Only asked as a lot of people asked the same question around that time as to why he didn’t appear. Having met Paul numerous times over the years he isn’t that tall unless your a dwarf.
@@shadowtheboxer8533 I wonder why people started thinking he hadn't gone, though. He definitely did. Never had Dave down as a computer games man, that's an eye opener. Although I can picture him getting the arse with a game, throwing a joystick on the floor and calling it every c*nt under the sun...good old boy that he was, and sadly missed.
This is Weller at his absolute peak! Absolutely fantastic! Liddle, Cradock, Charles, Whitey, Turner...what a line up!
Chills up my spine!
One of his very best@drewbacsi
He's peaked a few times in my book but this is for sure up there
Saw this line up at the Apollo,Manchester- it was unbelievable.
Still my favourite ever Weller gig and yeah I’ve seen The Jam live !!!!!!
Whitey keeping them on their toes at the beginning... Brilliant.

your lucky to have seen him live.

Sublime stickwork by the master.
This isn’t a patch on the new line up - the new drummer is a sloppy mess.
Yo Charles is some Bassist. Mesmeric to watch, and a delight to hear.
@@cliffthefishagree - Steve is phenomenal. Precision, skill, perfection.
@@TheMusicalElitistcan't replace Steve White....
Steve's toms are just sublime.

The Steves and the ladies.... Magic on stage.

Soooo Good… One of the best performances of Paul and incredible line up.
Yes indeed. Dave Liddle R I P. You can see how much he is enjoying himself on stage. Great song too.
steve white!!! ce mec est enorme!!

RIP Dave. Legend
At his best when he plays like this the best years

dave , if youre eyes met it was special, great vibes of the man

No khazi in that shop, though, so multiple hot drinks were playing Russian roulette to an extent.

@@robmillisTW2 Wasn't there?. I was so young I don't remember.
@@Spartanm333 I can confirm he was at Dave's funeral too to pay his respects. Although he did not stay for the wake which most people understood.

Yolanda Charles on bass. Love her. Love Steve White on the drums too.
He was on point here!
Outstanding!

I was a Dave's funeral and Weller was mosr definitely there.
My Mum and Brother attended Dave's funeral and I remember my Bro phoning me to tell me that Paul was there.
isn't there nobody to notice the great Steve Cradock ?!
Okay....how bloody young does Steve Cradock look?
Makes me feel old. Very old, indeed.
Great performance of a great song. Cheers.
