Biography

Right now he’s enjoying a creative peak and retains a constant critical high, continuing to push boundaries. Artists like Paul Weller are well within their rights to enjoy the fruits of their labour at leisure. They might tour a classic album over & over again, ... Read more in Amazon's Paul Weller Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Sometimes it might not be all too helpful to be backwards looking, but that is of course difficult with a retrospective, and under such circumstances you just can’t avoid the torrent of contradictions that spew forth from Britpop-adopted statesman/grandad Paul Weller. There was, for example, the flood of vitriol against his fellow Brit Award nominees before he blithely accepted the ‘outstanding contribution’ thing anyway. There is then the fact that he was in both The Jam and The Style Council. And also that despite his ideological rallying against it in his early days he now pretty much lives off nostalgia’s interest alone, this album being case in point, despite knocking out a decent little solo album not long ago.

This collection was recorded live at Alexandra Palace in North London at the end of 2005 and whatever you could say about his live band, you can’t call them anything other than tight, seasoned and unfalteringly professional. They strut between choice cuts from his solo career ("Peacock Suit", "Porcelain Gods", "You Do Something To Me", the recent "Come On Let’s Go") with consummate ease, and aside from a couple of wandering solos make this experience as effortless for the listener as it seems it was for them. Weller stands at the heart of all this like a deep-rooted oak. And if there are dips at any point, and there are a couple, the extensive set is justified by how fabulously redeeming "A Town Called Malice" still sounds at its climax.--James Berry

4.0 out of 5 stars A sad old mod 6 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
I have to say that I only wrote this review because the main amazon review irritated me so much. I really don't know what Paul Weller does to deserve such acidic reviews, even when the reviews are positive they seem to be so begrudging in their content that you know the reviewer is hating himself/herself for the good words. I would urge anyone who listens to this to forget who PW is and just listen - its good stuff! He's a fantastic musician and writes some great songs - this alone makes this album worth buying. Now my title probably gives my away my prejudiced but you listen to "town called malice" and just tell me this is not a great album by a great artist!! enjoy!!.

4.0 out of 5 stars The essence of Weller captured live. 30 Jun 2006
By fleet22
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For years Paul Weller has been regarded as one of the leading live performers and with such a strong back catalogue has always managed to keep his live shows fresh. Musically his band are fanatstic making a number of the 'live' performances even better than the already excellent studio recordings. Having only got this a few days ago the stand out tracks so far are 'Changing Man' 'Blink and you'll miss it' from his solo material and of course 'that's Entertainment' and 'A town called malice' from The Jam days. With 23 tracks and very little filler this is a great value purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memory Lane and Now! 14 Jun 2006
Format:Audio CD
This is the ideal album to listen to some of the best records recorded in the last 25 years, with Paul Weller live you always know that you are in for a treat, there is compassion, tight musicianship and hard hitting lyrics,and with this 2 disc cd you get all this in your front room (or i.pod). From tracks from jam and style council days upto songs from his latest studio album, Paul provides proof of why he won a brits award earlier this year. In my view you can only beat the atmosphere of this set by actually seeing him live, the whole band play with style and you can sense the enjoyment everyone is having.If you love live music this is a must have.
