This has to be one of the best ever Jools Holland performances. Not only does Weller absolutely smash it himself, but drums and bass are on point as well. Brilliant performance!

And let's not forget the excellent Helen Turner on organ. Mighty band, but it got even better when Weller added Steve Cradock to the touring line-up. Having a second guitarist, especially of Cradock's calibre, gave them even greater depth of sound/firepower. Yolanda, Helen, Steve C, Steve W and Weller - mesmerising.

I remember watching this live on tv back in 1993. At the time I thought it was a great performance. Looking back on it this was the high point in Weller's entire music career as it showcased his full range of talent. Also I didn't realize it at the time but he was a serious guitarist in the mould of Wilko Johnson and Mick Green. This is sometimes overlooked as he didn't play long solos or full on arpeggio style like Johnny Marr or Peter Buck. Paul Weller was unique and like Morrissey actually wrote lyrics that had meaning and not simply words which rhymed. Genius.
@milesparker32636 ай бұрын
Yeah I think the reason that his guitar playing isn't recognized so much as he uses it in service of a higher good, if that makes any sense. Like, he's a great guitarist in order to express what he wants to express rather than a guitarist looking for something to show case his guitar talents.

Awesome! I loved PW's first solo album but hadn't heard much of him since it was released. My brother told me (pre-text msg? can't remember!) that he was on Jool's for the first time that night. So flicked on BBC2, watched the dizzy start and then PW is clanging out the intro to Sunflower and I distinctly remember thinking 'Yes! He's back!' The haircut, the Casino, the immaculate desert boots. He had his best band with him in my opinion - Helen, Yolanda and Steve (although not 100% complete until Steve #2 arrived). Followed up with Has My Fire and What's Going On ( Lena Fiagbe in the coolest yellow coat!). An unforgettable return.
