ā”ļø PAUL WELLER ā”ļø.
Happy Sinners day disciples. You beat be indulging in all things magnificent !
Following on from my Stanley road post this week, turning 30.. wow! Now I feel old š¤š»
I thought Iād share my favourite Weller moment. Like out of all of it. The 6 decades.
a few years back teamed up with to create this absolute MASTERPIECE. Thereās 0 other words for it.
Iām a bit of a music geek like you all know, and since this im hard pressed to find anything that would top this whole performance and album of live retrospect. It literally changes the scope of music for me.
Flanked as ever by the incredible , Weller navigates his way through the last 6 decades of music with the BBC symphony orchestra on some of his greatest songs and new material.
Itās one of them performances⦠when I donāt know what to listen to, Iāll whack this on and it always delivers and Iām captivated. Itās genuinely spellbinding.
It is LEAGUES above anything else, the backdrop is the iconic with no audience during covid lockdowns. Which I think just adds to the uniqueness.
There are guest appearances from and . Each deliver a superb spice to well known loved songs by Paul.
If youāve never seen this in full⦠you are in for a treat.
This one will stick with me for life. For sure.
The dramatics of the orchestrated versions of these songs carefully push these into other realms of āclassicā . A whole new respect for the great music that Weller has provided.
Enjoy! Thank me later ā”ļøā”ļøšš»
