Very interesting footage displayed here.Can't seem to place this performance,does seem to have the look of a promo.Excellent detective work here in figuring the track listing for the displayed footage.That makes sense in regards to this performance.Possibly may be similar to the music companies having TV related material holdings as pointed out by Martin Barden,find this all extremely fascinating indeed.possibly a hits-a-go-go performance?Toppop?Does seem like a European TV performance.Now needing further info in regards to Small Faces European TV performances.May be a Scandinavian or Danish TV performance?No idea specifically there,will attempt to learn further there.
Cheers,Lance.

They performed Tin soldier 3 times on totp one of these was a repeat showing.Also PP Arnold appeared with them on this one .I don't think it's from swedish tv here's the link to that performence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH-brb3aftQ Also i was wondering how many times they done Tin soldier on Beat club i know its not the clip that is commonly seen but did they perform it any more than just once.Maybe our beat club friends could help here.

It could be just a coincidence, although all 3 performances were released in the same year, 1967, Mar (Hendrix) Aug (Bee Gees) & Dec (Small Faces), the microphone looks the same in all three clips, so it's a possibility.

Looking at the other European style of microphones, used on Music TV shows, they all look different. Which leads me to think, it could possibly narrow the field down to a BBC performance.

What confuses me though, is why is Tom Jones singing a song recorded nearly 2 years earlier in 1966, in front of a clip of The Small Faces singing a song that would have been a chart hit early in 1968!?!

I wonder how Pan's People got the gig with Tom. I think it remote, but could it be evidence of a possible TOTP connection?

In my defence guys I knew The Who clip wasn't TOTP (Just couldn't remember what show it was) so that's why I stated 'BBC-esque camera work'..... I know me stuff ya' know..... ;D There's a MAJOR re-issue/box-set of all the Small Faces catalogue happening next year (I'm good friends with the chap in charge of it all and he has the masters and there's un-released tracks to boot!!), I'll keep you all abreast of that if you wish guys.

My gut feeling is they used footage of the band in the background to make it all look a bit more 'groovier' and added some visual F/X so it wasn't obviously the Small Faces. To support that argument, when the cameras cut away to the girl dancers it does all look a bit uninspiring. Regarding the 'TOTP microphones', that's a good shout and certainly narrows it down a bit, though similar microphones could have been used on other programmes.

Cheers for all the feedback, it's been niggling me for years, its great that forums like this exist to share thoughts! So the general consensus is it is quite likely BBC. If only we could find out if why it was used on a german tv programme , does it still exist in its entirety and is there more languishing in a european archive?

I know this is a long shot, but Steve Marriott appears to be wearing a hat in the clip. Unlike every other clip of Tin Soldier online, might this narrow the field down? How many times were Small Faces on TOTP with Tin Soldier, and who else was on the show? Might they know, have photos etc? Just a thought!!!
