I really loved this concert ty. I’d like to see a bit more variety of styles in Paul’s music, he obviously has an exceptionally gifted talent. His voice and singing style, reminds me a bit of Van Morrison. The trumpeter was like Miles Davis and in places, Paul’s guitar reminds me of Hendrix. Every instrument was played beautifully, the sax, drums, bongos and glockenspiel I think. The backing singers also sang absolutely beautifully. A phenomenally talented band, I think they could play pretty much anything they want. Personally, I’d love a couple of songs, where Paul hands over the mic to the other singers and really lets go on his guitar. They could do something soulful smooth and mellow too. And some blues. I wonder if Paul has collaborated with any other great artists, like Clapton, Knopfler and some Motown R&B singers for example? Or how about Carlos Santana and some Latino soul? I love the tone in Paul’s voice and he has a superb range. It would work well into any music style, I reckon he’d do a great job of anything, even some rockabilly I daresay. 💛💪🏻

dear Lord, this was an amazing period in Paul Weller's musical career

I was at this. Great concert. Started with Tin Soldier as a tribute to Steve Marriott who had tragically died the day before if I recall. Some new stuff some old. Was a blast

It would be amazing if this got a live release. Such great performances and cool arrangements. I love how jazzy things are.

Indeed all backed up by Steve White on drums, he is a heavily influenced jazz drummer ❤

Henry Thomas on bass. Didn’t he used to do the tv show Rock School with Deirdre Cartwright. I think it used to be on BBC2

Huge thanks for posting. Haven’t seen this in ages. SO telling that he opens w a cover, then tip toes to a TSC song, then into a new tune. Nervous energy, not quite sure where he’s going, but working it all out on stage.

Gotta love Paul’s energy (and Max Beesley’s facial expressions 😆) Thanks for posting the VHS 👍🏻

Drove from Plymouth to Brighton and slept in my car to see the movement plus still have a t shirt from the concert

Thank you! This is fantastic! The starting years of Paul Weller's solo career. A few good hits from The Style Council and The Jam to help fill out the setlist. There were many years over the decades after this where he didn't play any Council or Jam songs on tours at all which I thought was odd. Didn't know if he wanted to leave it behind for new material or if there were bad feelings with his former bandmates making him not want to do it.
