Weller put on a polished and professional performance, a little bit of audience interaction but mostly he was about delivering the tracks. It wasnt pogotastic as the age of the audience would have had the local ambulance service ferrying us all to a&e with broken hips as the
Some great jamming tracks, some sounding very Pink Floydish. They became something of a youth movement, far and away one of the biggest bands in the country. 183,302 fans get concert alerts for this artist.Looking back on it, it seems quite strange for a man as famously contrary as Weller is to be related to as strongly as he was. And it's for that very reason Paul Weller remains one of the must see's for mod rock fans.All the tracks you want to hear are present, 'Peacock Suit', 'Sweet Pea, My Sweet Pea' and 'Above The Clouds' are all there to keep the crowds cheering and singing along. A great way to finish. However, come 1982 Weller became frustrated with how creatively constricting it was to be in The Jam and pulled the plug on the whole thing when he was a mere 24 years old. Always edgy and highly professional, he walked off stage in the first number because his amp was dodgy. He started by joining the punk rock band The Jam. However, apart from the whole successful rock band thing, Weller’s life had been pretty par for the course up until then.
However, I suspect that may not again happen.As far as The Jam goes, the rest is history. Read theatre reviews, news, and get discount tickets at WhatsOnStage Plymouth crowd was bit staid in places but I've been to loads of gigs here in the city of Plymouth and they are often like that. That kind of love can only really come from people seeing one of their own on stage, singing songs inspired and fuelled by the same experiences the audience were going through at the time. Foxton is still a master on the bass and Hastings vocals are as good, possibly better than Wellers on some tracks. Lots of new work but also some older crowd pleasers.Brilliant gig as always from the man. He dabbled with a little Jam and Style council and yet the stand out songs for me was Into Tomorrow and Start a jam song that I never heard before, but it sounded like it was recorded this year.To which the crowd always responds.Great evening in beautiful surroundings at Westonbirt arboretum. From his tenure as the lead singer of The Jam to the sophisticated pop group The Style Council and finally as a solo artist, Paul has been producing classic music for over 20 years. I have seen from the jam numerous times and travelled great distances for the pleasure. Fab-u-lous!All in all id say this was an Excellent paul weller set couldnt fault it at all 10/10 .I really enjoyed the concert!! His band supported him at every turn and note adding depth and emotion to the powerful and relevant lyrical content.
Excellent gig.Join 183,302 fans getting concert alerts for this artistPaul Weller is considered an indie/rock phenomena and enjoyed momentous success with his original band The Jam, then The Style Council and finally as a solo artist. The Modfather kept the crowd enthralled as he took us on a journey spanning his impressive and influential career. Even at the time, few people had seen anything like the level of devotion that fans of The Jam displayed since the heyday of The Beatles. They did a couple of encores and finished with 'Town called malice' at which point the crowd went crazy.
Weller has been nicknamed The Mod Father for his influential role in the style of mod rock.An incredibly talented bunch of musicians and an immensely professional set.
Bruce Foxton has still got it in spades and Russell Hastings does a stellar job as frontman the absence of Paul Weller a distant memory !Get your tour dates seen everywhere.considering from the jam didn't turn up in can't actually rate them sorry.
