I think this is Paul's best ever band line up, best era of his career around this time, Damon and Steve just what he needed, Whitey is a class act... Carleen Anderson's voice is superb.
This is why I continue to keep Stanley Road in the multi disc changer in the car. That album is so heavy! 20, 30+ years from now, people will still be discovering it and going WHOA!!!!!
I think the point to be made is The Beatles flashed out in a blaze of glory, Wings had a few good hits, as did McCartney as a solo artist, but he hasn't been at the top of his game for years. Weller just keeps on rolling, putting out great song after great song. How many artists have successfully reached number one in each of their incarnations? And the Stones have been crap for decades.
He's a legend no doubt, I can't say I loved Heliocentric or Illumination but he's definitely back on track with As Is Now. The self titled first solo album and Wild Wood followed closely by Stanley Road are still my favourites though. There was a beautiful version of Out of the Sinking Weller did for Virgin radio that was him on an acoustic if anyone has this please post it, it absolutely rocked!
Still got this on VHS somewhere at me mams. Used to watch it every night before i went to bed soaking in all the moves and guitar licks, amazing performance. Steve White's drumming is awesome throughout and Cradock n' Damon are superb. I miss this era of music...!!!!
Hi there! THE GREATEST PAUL WELLER! I saw a small button with"Later". Is it from "Later with Jules Holland"? And if or not: Absolutely great version!!! I love it!
cant agree more with all of the above! probably the best thing to happen to british music? i've been a massive oasis fan for years and on some levels... they dont come close to weller!
@docterlovejoy i like weller too but to say sumat like that is just stupid. considering weller dyed his hair and went all "poncy" with the style council. it was still good music either way. nothing wrong with john lennon mate. if it weren't for the beatles and bands out of that era we wouldnt have paul weller in the first place
How many musicians have got Weller’s longevity and consistent quality - what a legend
richard lever none
The chord structure on this baby is off the scale. Masterpiece.

This man is one of the greats...Tags such as "The Modfather" don't do him justice imo. Great song writer, Great musician, Great performer.
This is real music. Pure quality tune
my fave Weller song ..great performance by all in this rendition. Pauls voice is on point and Whitey on the drums is a beast .
Great song by the mod father 😎🎸🎤🎶
this song has some of the best guitar interchange EVER.

Another storming Steve White performance behind another Weller gem.
Steve White is legendary.
Nice drumming from Whitey
Don’t know how many times I come back to this video. Class
…great tempo. The right tempo. Gives this song oomph. The perfect live version, executed magnificently 👌🏻
Wow, what a performance!

The music was used for Super Sunday football show on Sky Sports. Thats is probably what you are thinking of.
This is how its done!
the modfather loves nothing more than to enjoy a number 2... every morning, then to skin up whilst his cuppa brews !

A warrior.

Carlene Anderson on backing vocals

cant agree more with all of the above! probably the best thing to happen to british music? i've been a massive oasis fan for years and on some levels... they dont come close to weller!
like the deepest shack at Teahupo, the sickest pit at Pipe. who goes deeper than the Well?
Does anyone have the full recording? I had on VHS but have lost some tapes and this was one :(
Ha ha cradock looks about 10 👍👍
Eclipsed Steve years ago... not taking anything away from steve.
Playes
better songs than the beatles ??? probably not but he is a legend non the less !!
sorry, but there has never been an even half bad track penned or played by the Well.
Anyone in music or composition, has some big goals to meet.
me 2 but im 16! hahaa
You're 27
Paulie has written more songs, more great songs, than all the Beatles, Stones, and Oasis put together.
fokin' brilliant!
OK Liam
awesome but check out smasmacs out of the sinking great for a 17 yr old...
