Full review
I've followed Paul Weller now since he started with the Jam in 1977, through his days with the Style Council, and now throughout his 'solo' career. I've seen him live 6 times, and for those of you not fortunate enough to have seen him live, a live DVD like this one is the next best thing.

Paul Weller has inspired the 1990's bands such as Oasis and Blur, and got the title 'The Modfather'. He regularly plays on 'Later with Jools Holland', and in February 2006 he will be collecting a lifetime achievement award at the Brit Awards.

I've had a great interest in Victorian history all of my life, and to see on DVD my musical hero playing at one of the most historic venues in the UK was awe=inspiring - I travelled down to London the next time Paul played the Albert Hall just to see the concert.

Anyway, about this DVD. It captures Paul Weller and his band doing a 95 minute live set that comes solely from Paul's solo career. The full band and track listing can be found at the end of the review. I've always thought that Paul Weller sounds even better live than he does on vinyl/cd, and this DVD captures the vibrant energy that is evident whenever he is on stage.

Not only will you see Paul playing his customary guitars, he also plays keyboards on a number of tracks.

Overall an outstanding DVD - my only criticism is if you don't watch it on a widescreen tv, then your picture is 'letterboxed' so the image only appears on the middle part of your screen, with a black band at the top and bottom.

The band:
Paul Weller on vocals / keyboard / guitars
Steve White on drums
Steve Craddock (from Ocean Colour Scene) on guitars
Chris Holland on keyboard
Edgar Jones on bass
