Has anyone seen video of photos of Paul Weller and Johnny Marr playing "A Town Called Malice" at Coachella on Sunday?

Coachella ‘09: Paul Weller gets robbed, Johnny Marr saves
April 20th, 2009, 4:20 am · Post a Comment · posted by Ben Wener
I could go on endlessly about the excellent yet heartbreaking Paul Weller set no one watched. I just might blather more about it once I get home and have time to properly assess and convey why it was such a meaningful (albeit needlessly stopped) performance, both for artist and audience. (It also might make my annual Kill List, a rundown, in ranked order, of the weekend’s greatest performance. Look for that sometime Tuesday.)
After roughly a half-hour of top-notch rock ‘n’ soul, culminating in some extra-fine space-jamming on “Porcelain Gods,” Weller was informed that he had a measly 15 minutes left. “Just not long enough in the desert,” he sniffed in between expletives.
He had every right to be pissed. There was no reason to quit early: Public Enemy didn’t need an hour to set up, it wouldn’t have harmed My Bloody Valentine any to have Weller carry on, and yet another rumor that No Doubt would turn up for a five-song surprise never came to pass. Let the man play! Imagine how much more fulfilling this set could have been with more morsels served up within another 20 minutes, instead of a flat 50.
Not exactly the right way to treat a Coachella forefeather.
But suffice to say -– and I’m talking to you, Mozheads, after you watched your ’80s idol act the diva Friday night –- this is how an English icon soldiers on when faced with a demeaning concert situation. Like Atmosphere says, when life hands you lemonades, you paint that s*** gold, (bleeper-bleeper)!
Had Weller been squeezed onto the main stage, people might have at least taken notice of the old leader of the Jam and the Style Council. Perhaps then he’d have gotten his due around here, maybe via the chanting of “Eton Rifles,” one of the most biting Jam songs, about a different, even refined sort of class struggle than the Third World uprising M.I.A. calls for.
Surely casual ears would have recognized “A Town Called Malice,” although probably only as “that song by that guy who did that other song.” They still would have bounced and wiggled along to its deceptive Motown glee.
Instead, to cap his Sunday show, the now silver-haired Weller, looking Armani casual cool in a black outfit, was left to kick against the pricks in a chugging rendition of his minor MTV hit with help from … well, how nice, former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, who strummed a bit and shared in on the bop-bop-bop-bop harmonies.
Wait, what? You didn’t catch that killer moment? Oh well — your loss, our gain.

Coachella: Johnny Marr joined Paul Weller on stage
I just saw this:
The internet was all abuzz in the weeks leading up to Coachella that Johnny Marr might make an appearance, and he finally did. But rather than send the hearts and minds of Morrissey fans into oblivion, the former Smiths guitarist wielded his axe when he joined Paul Weller at the Outdoor Theatre for “Town Called Malice” near the end of the Modfather’s set.
“Where were you Friday?” hollered one industrious punter from a fairly small crowd made up primarily—at least near the front—of the British, all of whom seemed stunned at their good fortune to be able to get within spitting distance of a performer who routinely sells out much larger venues back home.

Actually I meant the search. I also had searched earlier, probably like everyone else interested in footage. So really it was like a mad scavenger hunt!

I hadn't actually bothered to read a whole lot about Coachella until this thread surfaced. I bet better footage starts cropping up on youtube soon...
