Oh yes!
Remember when this was first shown. Better than the original - especially Edwyn's solo and the way he spreads his hands at the end of it.
It's the hand spreading that does it
there's a man who knows exactly how good he is!
Fantastic
why was Paul Quinn not huge? His two solo albums are among my favourites ever.
I always get him mixed up
with another deep voiced Caledonian Paul - Haig, formerly of Josef K. This is a belter:
Crepuscule
Lots of good Paul Haig hidden away on the Crepuscule complications - well worth checking out in additons ot the Josef K and solo stuff.
No. its this:
..... and now we get....
.... britain's got fucking talent !
That's EXACTLY
what I was going to post when I saw the title of this thread.
A feast of magic moments
two of which are:
- Lulu's eyes widening in sudden shock at 4:19 when there's a squeal of feedback
- Jimi smiling as he suddenly realises at 5:57 that his bottom string is out of tune: and proceeds to quickly tune it properly in between two lines of the song!
Yes, brilliant.
Here's two more in a similar Glaswericana vein...
Bigmouth strikes again
Was there ever a man with a bigger mouth in the history of popular music than Paul Quinn? As Joan Rivers once said of Mick Jagger, the man could French kiss a moose.
"Child-bearing lips"
(another Joan Rivers quote)
It could be this one, too
I could write a thousand words about this clip, but here's the short version.
We have some of the best haircuts in rock history, we have Ronnie Wood's great jacket and lemon trousers and we have a couple of beautiful, handcrafted guitars made by Tony Zemaitis.
They're playing football and generally pissing about on stage and while they're not taking it seriously the vocals, at least, are live.
As if that weren't enough, they make a great show of handing over to John Peel at the end who mimes the mandolin part (originally played on record by Lindisfarne's Ray Jackson, fact fans).
Come on, it's the perfect Top Of The Pops clip, isn't it?
Am I wrong in
.. thinking that with the exception of Ron Wood - none of The Faces actually played on this song ?
It was a Rod Steward release - not a Faces release.
That's true
It was one of Rod's solo efforts, not a Faces release (although the two were virtually interchangable at that time).
In fact all of the Faces did play on Rod's LP Every Picture Tells A Story, from whence Maggie May originated, but only Ron Wood and possibly Ian McLagan from the band are on that particular track.
Martin Quittenton plays acoustic guitar, bass duties were handled by Andy Pyle and Micky Waller was on the drums.
Ray Jackson played the mandolin, as established earlier.
Really great
Another on the list of 'better than the original'.
this version is not too shabby either

In the OP
is that clip taken from the TV series Halfway to Paradise? They used to have great music guests on that show. I remember The Blue Nile backing Rickie Lee Jones on it.
