Paul Weller started his solo career in with the release of his self titled album, "Paul Weller". He has released a total of 11 solo albums to go along with his catalog of recordings from the two previously mentioned bands. Weller has been nicknamed The Mod Father for his influential role in the style of mod rock.
Weller still tours regularly and is not showing signs of slowing down. His recent shows have been divided into acoustic and electric sets. The majority of the setlist consists of Weller's solo material, which is some of the best music he has created. The highlights though are when he reaches into the archives of The Jam and The Style Council and delivers some mod classics.
He is also known to sprinkle in a surprise cover here and there. Weller isn't very talkative on stage, he lets the music do the talking. And it's for that very reason Paul Weller remains one of the must see's for mod rock fans.
This was a show of superior musical quality and professional showmanship. Opera House sound was good. Many of the crow were there for Jam and Council hits which was obvious by the out of the seats dancing a GOOD thing and the fidgeting with mobile phones, reading emails, sending messages, using Facebook, disrupting both performers and interested patrons by the constant toing and froing of drink runs which was NOT a good thing.
The Tivoli in Brisbane - to a much more appreciative audience who would be willing to pay a little more. However, I suspect that may not again happen. Great evening in beautiful surroundings at Westonbirt arboretum. The sun came out just as the support band finished and the weather stayed dry. Weller put on a polished and professional performance, a little bit of audience interaction but mostly he was about delivering the tracks. There was a spattering of his well known songs as he started, but it was also good to hear some others.
The band were excellent and as the evening drew on, the classics started to come out including, of course 'you do something to me' which was a special moment. They did a couple of encores and finished with 'Town called malice' at which point the crowd went crazy.
A great way to finish. Overall a great performance and Weller's voice still sounds strong and vibrant. The man just oozes style and panache. Always edgy and highly professional, he walked off stage in the first number because his amp was dodgy. He certainly made his displeasure known to the roadie who replaced the misfiring amp and then on with show!
No Jam tracks but many Style Council tracks, immaculately played along with tracks from his new album. Johnny Marr who opened for Weller very impressive joined him for a track or two. Some great jamming tracks, some sounding very Pink Floydish. So a great evening, wonderful music and a terrific cause.
Thank you Mr Weller. I bow to your musical genius. A Paul Weller concert can be a bit of a bit or miss affair depending upon what mood he is in and what songs he wants to sing. So it was lucky for us that he decided to cover his complete repertoire for his Opera House performance.
The Jam, Style Council and his solo work were all covered in full and with a band so tight, they added to the experience. Weller remains the master of cool and throughout the night he delivered what the fans wanted, while promoting his new material with equal aplomb. He's still got all the passion for his music, he's still got the voice and he's getting better with time.
An incredibly talented bunch of musicians and an immensely professional set. Also great value for money - the guys put on a full 2 hours of solid tunes from right across all his eras. As an original Jam fan I would have loved to hear 3 or 4 more songs from that era but it was a great night and a stonking concert!
Amazing Showman!! The Modfather kept the crowd enthralled as he took us on a journey spanning his impressive and influential career. His band supported him at every turn and note adding depth and emotion to the powerful and relevant lyrical content.
His obvious enjoyment of his craft and his humility as he shared it with the crowd. We will not forget this night or you Mr. Play loud. We are here with you. Brilliant gig as always from the man. Great choice of songs.
Never been disappointed by the venue. Then comes Mr Weller. Over 2 hours of fantastic music and he never waned once. This was a present for my partner so it was truly wonderful Paul played Man In The Corner Shop which is my partner's favourite of the Jam tracks.
Paul and his band performed a great mixture of old and very new - one track which isn't even out in any form. A track from an up coming film was so good too. I don't think I need say this but I will, but Paul Weller is worth his weight in gold. Go see him if you get the chance. You won't be disappointed :.
Well, this was my first time of seeing Paul Weller live in concert , and he did,nt disappoint and really delivered a good value for money show and performance. It,s great to see that Mr Weller still has a appetite and enthusiasm to still gig and play at smaller venues like Folkestone last night. He played initially for 90 minutes playing new songs from his soon the be released new cd , along with Welller standards like Wildwood and You do something to me , which brought the house down! After a brief break , Weller and his brilliant band came back for 2 encores , the first was an acoustic set of 5 songs of new an old songs and then he returned again for a 2nd encore.
Boy does he give his fans wanting more , giving excellent value for money. So , thanks Paul for a great night out that did,nt disappoint! One final observation , is that Mr Weller dropped quite a few songs into the set that are currently new to his fans , as the new cd is not out yet , I think was a brave decision to play these songs when diehard fans might be expecting to hear his classic tracks. On a lighter note , Paul fluffed the lyric to one of his songs , so as the professional that he is , he stopped the band , apologised forgetting the first line of the song , then seamlessly started again like nothing happened.
We all applauded his honesty of this situation but laughed with him at it. As an musician and entertainer of 40 years , on last nights performance , it gives me great pleasure to say that Paul Weller looks to be enjoyed playing live and is still very much relevant and also contemporary Long may that remain! I will without doubt go and see him again next time he is on tour. Thanks Paul! Great set list, great performance.
You could tell straightaway that he was really putting on a top show. As ever a spectacular show old and new songs Paul Weller never lets the side down energetic and mesmerising performance.
Weller again proved he is the man ,fantastic live show as always ,he never fails to deliver a top show.
