Weller earned his status as a legend the old school way... endless gigging and refining his stagecraft... in the same elite songwriter tier as Ray Davis and Steve Marriot. A true great.
Paul Weller is a LEGEND !!! Amazing that it's almost 40 years ago that the Style Council played Live Aid at the "old" Wembley Stadium....seems like yesterday (July 13, 1985)
@@apollovs With that song, he predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall. BandAid and LiveAid, of which he was part of, played a major role in creating a favourable atmosphere for Gorbatchev to successfully move forward with the reforms that would ultimately lead to that historic event.
Paul played at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea last summer,,,, it was without exception the best show I've ever seen, him and the band just smashed out song after song,, so much energy, truly an artist at the top of his game.
This is incredible. Love the arrangements on My Ever Changing Moods and Shout to the Top - two of my absolute favorites. Much respect, thanks for posting.
Great gig this was. I was sat pretty high up in the rafters so its good to actually SEE the gig, I could hear it as the sound was amazing. Having the horns trio in his band brought a new dimension to all his songs. An excellent gig. Shame they didn't get to play longer as so many good songs were missed.
Thanks for sharing. I normally don't understand people that record concerts rather than enjoy the moment. But, if you didn't post this, I would never had a chance to see this fantastic set by Paul. I live in the states and he very rarely comes around my way. I think 2017 was the last chance I had to see him live.
Any track from any album is good but every one of these is just brilliant- a set of career highlights - and still interesting and relevant . Wild to me that he’s my age and still writing playing singing and touring and aging with real grace.
Long live PW! Paul Weller is a OG! Love his voice. Don’t understand why he never caught on here in America but he has made some wonderful music for the last 50 years! Yes, I adored the Style Council 😊
I was there and you can’t compare the two artists/ group they are two different vibes. I am a passionate weller fan but tbh blur blew me away what a gig 🎉
Often seems to be the way with artists who have been around a long time that their original and earliest songs, in this case the Jam, always seem to get the most enthusiastic reception.
I know his "retired" sound tech, of many many years. He lives in Germany now next door neighbour to my mate.Andrew says Paul WELLER is a proper gent. smokes a bit too much, but always has time for people and is a thoroughly nice guy. Good to know :) Also a damn legend.
@@ronnyber Then clearly you have led a very sheltered big gig life. They all can’t play at the same time chief. Blur brought Weller in as a guest at a huge gig because they recognise his influence on their music. So many people wetting their pants about this. Just enjoy the fact that he was there…
I went Saturday night to see Blur...gutted when I heard the 'Modfather' was supporting Blur on the Sunday. For those arguing Paul Weller should be main act, he was just guest act supporting Blur on their huge tour. Love them both.
Exactly and being a guest doesn't always relate to size of the artist of anything. He's probably just doing it for a mate, something I know he's experienced himself as I remember many many years ago when he played Plymouth and had Noel Gallagher show up last minute and support him unannounced , playing a set of Oasis songs (plus some Jam and Beatles covers) when Oasis were just about the biggest band in Britain at the time. 1998 I think it was.
@@MJMilz14I was at a Charlatans gig in Brixton years ago and Weller came on stage and did just a song or two. I just think he loves performing and will support acts he likes and probably knows their crowd will appreciate him.
His absolute hatred of the Jam and any thought of doing a one-off for the long time loyal fans at RAH turns me off from the absolute wallpaper music he makes today.
@@ChrisW444 he was slagging off the national anthem and cheering because the scousers booed it at Wembley. Typical left wing bollox. Paul weller was a Thatcherite and Tory before jumping on the red wedge bandwagon. It was in poor taste after the queen died. No class
Weller is a legend....but could not fill Wembley on his own.....Blur are showing respect by having him on the Bill.....let’s be honest he’s a massive influence on them. Great line up.
I've loved Paul since the Jam...this was a great show, but I am surprised and disappointed to see that the production or video folks for this show used the idiotic smart phone vertical video window. It makes for a really cheesy looking stage set, to be honest. Also makes Imag ineffective AF, you can only see one player at a time with the narrow ass screens. Stop it!! It is stupid enough on a phone, don't spread it to the real world. Video screens are wider than they are high to match your vision. This is like peeking between fence boards.

Yes he did, and many of us already know it but time will show Damon Albarn is an elite songwriter also.
I'd put him above Davies and especially Marriot in status and accomplishment.
Very true and Marriot is Weller, look at how he performs, it's all there..
Paul Weller is a British treasure

Must be up there amongst the most prolific artists these shores have ever produced!
That was amazing. I have seen him many many times throughout his career and began to watch this tentatively but couldn't stop. Total class.
The most humble and gracious person I’ve had the pleasure to meet.
This is incredible. Love the arrangements on My Ever Changing Moods and Shout to the Top - two of my absolute favorites. Much respect, thanks for posting.
As a Brit gal living in Canada, I really appreciate you sharing this experience. Total legend!
Great effort capturing that ! Thankyou from Australia .. Weller fan for 46 years !
Glad you enjoyed it
I was there at wembley. Paul weller. Legend😊
What a great musician!! Thank you for you!!!
Weller is king in my eyes i like everything he’s done from the jam the style council all the way to his latest album he really is king
@@datrenarakiel8202 what
Thanks for filming this for everyone to enjoy. Brilliant!

It’s fairly obvious that a lot of songs were missed…he has literally hundreds. He was only on for just under an hour as a special guest support.
One of the worlds greatest musicians. Just a workhorse of a writer and performer.
Thanks for this vid.
The man's a true legend!!!
No problem!

he is in america in september.
@@philipdavison3862 I saw that. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make his Chicago date.
the best songwriters ever totally underrated Down in the Tube Station the lyrics are just amazing
Missing Above the Clouds and She Threw It All Away which are the songs that got me into Paul Weller.
That’s Entertainment still sounds fantastic. What a song.
Thanks for posting I couldn't get to Wembley as I was away gutted to miss Paul weller legend 💯👊

I completely agree with you
Blur were incredible. I wish I could go back in time and experience it again.
He still sings and plays amazingly well.
Its amazing no one outside Britain knows who he is!
I know and love him. Greetings from Belgium
Often seems to be the way with artists who have been around a long time that their original and earliest songs, in this case the Jam, always seem to get the most enthusiastic reception.
That’s because they are the songs everyone knows.A lot of his best songs are hidden away amongst his many albums he’s released.

It’s amazing that alll musos smoke, even classical.
Legend, genius etc!
True Legend.....🎤🎸🔥💪👊
Absolute Legend x
Thank you for uploading this. PW IMO is the greatest musician of ALL TIME. But to see him as an opening act for anyone just seems to bizarre to me.
Weird isn’t it 🤷♂️
Do you always talk b*llocks or is this a one off.
Special guest is rather different than “Opening Act”
@@petittrainguernsey3297 that wording doesn’t change anything for me. It’s still a supporting act to a headliner. Cheers
@@ronnyber
Then clearly you have led a very sheltered big gig life.

Paul opening for blur .. wow, what a show. Looks to have been almost 3 hrs, amazing
Still sounding strong go on Paul
Britains finest ! Great to hear Stone foundation Horn Section and Jacko Peake !
Thank you for sharing this 😊
My pleasure 😊
Brilliant
Loving the brass on Sunflower
Like a King! #paulwellerisagod
I went Saturday night to see Blur...gutted when I heard the 'Modfather' was supporting Blur on the Sunday. For those arguing Paul Weller should be main act, he was just guest act supporting Blur on their huge tour. Love them both.
Well said….some of the comments on here are ridiculous.Very special guest and he was very happy to be there!

@@MJMilz14I was at a Charlatans gig in Brixton years ago and Weller came on stage and did just a song or two. I just think he loves performing and will support acts he likes and probably knows their crowd will appreciate him.
Brother Paul always shifting sand,brother hood of light defo ❤
I was very lucky to see The Jam twice (albeit a tad late in '82) and will treasure those nights forever but it's sad to hear PW struggle nowadays
This is real Rock N' Roll 🎸
LEGEND ❤
かっちょええ❤😂🎉Cool！!! I'm waiting the live of september à Paris.
PAUL WELLER LIVING LEGEND
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
waited all set to see if he was going to do peacock suit. and it was last :,)
should not Blur be supporting Weller
100%
His lack of overblown ego means Blur fans get the best support act ever. Long live PW !
Too true! Maybe Blur don't understand the meaning of the word 'Legend'
Blur took Paul Weller to Wembley,if that’s not a huge show of respect,I haven’t seen one.
@@paulbaker3465Exactly.There are some very odd comments here and I’m a massive Weller fan!
今だにカッコイイって凄い!!
Genius .
I always thought Changing Man was a slower version of Running on the spot.
Big Paul
I wouldn't have been happy with the song selection if I was there. Weller peaked with the Style Council of course.
WILDWOOD is his masterpiece.
One of many
After this I'd not be bothered if Blur had been crap. Looking and sounding good PW.
Well I would’ve been bothered if Blur had have been crap!..Anyway as it so happens they were bloody awesome!
Wow, missing Whitey on the kit.
The support act is better than the headliner by far.
The thumbnail for this video looks like Jimmy Saville 🤠
"Had the same cut since he was 18, bought a coat in the sale at Pretty Green / He cried all night when Oasis split and he wants to be Paul Weller."
I thought that was Jimmy Saville in the thumbnail😮
His absolute hatred of the Jam and any thought of doing a one-off for the long time loyal fans at RAH turns me off from the absolute wallpaper music he makes today.
Changing man thanks Elo - 10538 Overture.
He seems to play more old songs these days. He must have mellowed a bit.
Started Start with the second verse lyric, sometimes the legends mess up too.
変わらないな〜😊
Forgot the lyrics to Thats Entertainment
Thought he was opening with Dear Prudence at first
Sounds more like Electric Light Orchestra's 10538 Overture to me. :)
Seriously…..Changing Man one of his best!
He’s ripped off very one that’s his career
@@marksmith334What are you trying to say?
@@maxslamerHe has always acknowledged this as an homage to it.
if that had been the Jam they would have sold it out easily
how the funk is the crowd not bouncing to Weller and band
Too bad the sound was bad for Weller. I mean the Jam was a three-piece and made That's Entertainment chug right along, but here, not so much.
Messed up the words to Thats Entertainment 😂
Mod for it
Jeez I thought it was “Jimmy Saville” for a moment, must be the hair.
Honestly, why weren't Blur supporting him? wtf?!
Because he isn't popular enough to sell out 2 nights at Wembley Stadium! if it was The Jam that would be a different story!
@@apollovs That's exactly my point.
Good idea to open with some ELO
What?
@@1derekwinter1 he's trying to be clever with the historic reference to ELO in Changing Man, best just to ignore stupid comments like that mate.
Wellers comments earlier this year in Liverpool made him a bigger prick than he already was
@@colinjefferys2857 what did he say in Liverpool
@@ChrisW444 he was slagging off the national anthem and cheering because the scousers booed it at Wembley. Typical left wing bollox. Paul weller was a Thatcherite and Tory before jumping on the red wedge bandwagon. It was in poor taste after the queen died. No class
how many do u need?
Amazing crowd there. Must have been 35k or so?
When blur were on there was close on 90k. I've no idea why people come late and missed PW and the selecter they were brilliant.
Why was he an opening act though, I would have thought he would have been the main attraction.
The biggest *_"I don't get it?"_* America never got!
I honestly thought that was Jimmy saville on the thumbnail lol
Amazing set list. Old Skool. I stopped listening to him after Peacocks Suit.
He is bloody good but he nicked that changing man riff from ELOs 10538 overture hands down..
Who did Paul open for? Love him, but clearly this audience wasn't here to see him play...
Tough crowd . As pro as ever tho, well played Mr Weller.
And fck Wembley 👍🏼.
From the thumbnail it does look like a Jimmy Savile tribute act.
Knobhead
Dot Cotton
Thought it was Jimmy saville
Legend.....I see Pot smoke....😂🎤🎸🔥💪👊
Is that a heavy on bass? 🤔
?
It is Jake Fletcher, he def isn't heavy lol.
Sorry I thought he was from The Brand New Heavies 🙄👍
Formerly the Gramatones and Cupids@@SBUK2010
Is he still alive
What the fuck ,Waller supporting blur, one of his songs is better than every song blur ever wrote, amazing seller done this
Just 1 Jam reunion gig before I pop my clogs....just 1.....
Never going to happen unfortunately
who's the man wearing school jacket?
Jake Fletcher? It’s a velvet coat 😂
on MY EVER CHANGING MOODS
weird... all sounds a bit slow to me...
All pop stars are private school, most 'under the hat' as Weller indicates here, including himself.
?
