Forum Theatre on Tuesday night was entertained by Paul Weller, the fans enjoyed his performance a lot but he didn't play "A Town Called Malice"
When he is in the throws of something of a career resurgence, the fans are really disappointed that Weller declined to play arguably his best song.
He received his best notices in decades when his tenth solo album release this year's Wake Up The Nation, topped the British charts.
The 52-year-old's set was anchored by a slab of material from Wake Up - peppy new tracks such as Andromeda and No Tears To Cry impressed - but they sat easily with Jam and Style Council classics.
''We're gonna play a mixture tonight,'' Weller harrumphed near the start of the show. ''Some old and lots of new. Some you haven't heard, some you should hear.''
The night's curio was a cover of James Taylor's How Sweet It Is. It was lapped up.
Paul Weller has an ability to innate ability to chew gum, smoke and sing at the same time.
