I agree with all of you. Been watching this one over and over since the original broadcast. The whole set is on fire. So much soul and intensity... The breakdown at 4:10!

He never lost anythin mate!... he knew it was time to move on...Style Council was a progression with good songs ... then came Weller full bore! . Can't fault the guy... pure genius!.

Weller is loving it. Craddock is loving it. White is loving it. Even the bloody string section are loving it. Infectious Weller.

I remember watching this on TV as a 12 yr old guitar player - I was so blown away by Steve White I decided the drum kit was the way to go. I now make a living playing drums. Awesome performance.

What a fantastic drummer to be inspired by. He oozes class!

Weller is an amazing talent. Excellent guitarist, wonderful songwriter and a great voice. I love it when scrawny little English people produce these power voices. Him, Steve Marriott, Rod Stewart (before Rod went MOR), Jack Bruce, and women like Cilla Black (who got subverted by bland pop, as did poor Lulu), Julie Driscoll and others. Weller is one of the greats. No-one quite like him. One of the great things about him is the *dynamics* of his longer songs. They are hard rock but also really melodic and atmospheric. Stuff like this and 'Shadow of the Sun', for instance. Plus, on a human level, he seems to be a down-to-earth no-bullshit kind of bloke. I was impressed he turned down a CBE too. Good on him. He doesn't need no endorsement from the Establishment. He's got it from the People.

I managed to get a bootleg CD of this back in 1997 but never tire of watching this. The pure joy and energy of this performance is electric. Rosie Danvers and Wired Strings are superb and completely taken away with the music as they always are when backing Weller. An upload of the whole gig is on here somewhere. Shiver down the spine music.

Utter, utter class. Plain & simple.

The amount of joyous energy expended playing that choon is immense.... absolutely everyone involved is giving 100% and loving it...especially the cellist out of "The Wired Strings" who has a smile on her face as wide as her legs wrapped round her cello!

Luv this performance absolutely having it is Mr Weller man on fire 🔥... Also the lovely blonde girl playing the big violin thingy 😁is well into it...

Ian Gardiner I’m in love with her !!!!

What a great performance! I stayed in and watched it on the box on the night!

one of my favourite paul weller tracks

Incredible song. One of my favourite songs of all time. Paul Weller is an amazing song writer.

"Time like a hound snapping at my heels" - genius. A great philosophy of life.

seen him live it is a sight to behold he is a musical genius all hail the modfather !!!

Jesus christ i love that big man absolutely loving it in the front row...i watched this as a 15 y/old on loop and it never gets old.

Still get goose bumps watching this, after years and years of watching it hundreds of time - Weller at his VERY best. The leader of the strings always caught my eye. Man I fancied her for years iust watching this gig.

Just love it when Steve Wight thinks it's all over. Then Weller kicks in again, Brilliant facial expression

Milli second of confusion before smashing it to pieces again, one of my favourite performances.

“People change as the panic sets in” very apt. One of the best writers this country has ever produced.

Awesome version of one of his best ever songs!

Brilliant.

viewing that brought a tear to my eye just amazing,gave me goose bumps

Just played this over and over tonight on repeat - Genius... and talent every one of em...love Whitey on drums x

I just found this song today...When it comes to Mr.Weller, I always want more! He's so prolific, and so potent, whether he's rocking us or serenading us with his beautiful, sensual (but always classy) ballads. I love the lush instrumentation on this one, including the old synth sound near 4:00.! Rock on, Paul!

Thanks so much for posting. Absolutely electrifying performance.

Amazing how I keep coming back to this. I can see that I commented on it a year ago! It never gets old. THE best performance by him ever.

No worries. I got the dvd off ebay for £3! Its the best live set I've heard Weller do.

I just love this song and this performance - the best

Genius! Nuff said.

Weller at his absolute best. Stellar musicians with him and the lady playing the cello is loving it, she was probably on a night off from the LSO and having a great time!

Nobody comes close to the mighty Paul Weller , ordinary mortals can't replicate there studio work like Paul , his is better and they are all loving it .. Steve whites face says it all ..

Congratulations. You are a lucky man.

Masterpiece. Keeping it real :)

Majestic.....x

If for a split second you somehow forget just how good Weller is ,just watch this and you will instantly remember!!!

no one's as deep as the Well. this song, this performance is SNAP!

Morissey killing it on trumpet.

One of his best songs and a monster live performance

Awesome !! Weller is one of the greatest musicians ever !!

Briliant. As always when Paul does.

An epic version. A band in perfect harmony. Utter professionals.

Make No mistake about it.....he has still got it! Saw him last night in Perth, Australia. Great show, great performance! Enjoy!

When people talk about being The Man, if your name's not Paul Weller, then you're not The Man.

Weller is such a great live performer.

wow simply the best modern day live act no 2 ways about ...always been better live from the jam until today the man is a performing legend

Immense

one of my favourite Weller songs...the Chameleon of music :)

fantastic version. Full of energy. Weller at his best

Superb.

Love the sound of the cello here.

2 words .. MAGICAL CLASSIC...

A friend lent me a video tape (how long ago was that - 1997) of this concert on Later. Profoundly affected me then and now this and Man of great Promise taken to another level brilliant

The mans best live track, It still sounds fab to this day, Mr W is God !!

Thank God for Music Men like this !

Classic weller christ i miss this flavour with steve on the drums timeless

Genius

it is an awesome track - superb in the studio - electric live - go man!

Weler in his absolute pomp. This is just a fantastic performance and song.

The tune of tunes

So much adoration for Paul Weller, what an A1 Fucking Legend, respect!

I love Boston & Paul Weller

totally rocks - so many years on still!

Greatest song ever

La madre que me parió, que versión! Stunning version!!!!

I remember watching Jools Holland every friday night on BBC2 as a kid hoping to catch a Weller performance.

Paul Weller, angry + a Gibson SG = A happy me. :)

I've got an old videotape I made of this show/concert back when it was broadcast on MuchMusic back about 15 years ago. I'm frantically trying to get a dvd of it as I'm afraid of the tape quality going downhill. Still no luck but I'll keep looking! :) This song was the highlight of the show I think. Love the way Weller and Cradock 'keep the song" going at around the 4:51 area. Whitey is looking around at them, then figures it out and gets it all going again...awesome!

He is The Best!!!

Epic.

Wow! young Morrissey plays the trumpet at 2:06!! ;)

This is fucking magic

brilliant song x

Always loved weller doing his Steve marriot swagger on guitar

They don't make em like this no more...

i love the profound sadness of his lyrics...

Brilliant!!!

From Steve Marriott and Tin Soldier to Paul Weller and Whirlpool's end...it's called evolution. The question is...who can surpass Weller? I hope I live long enough! Simply excellent.

that was live? farkin' brill. Weller, you simply amaze!

Wow!!!!!😳🧐😎

4:17 That's a energy!!! 🤘👍

Awesome 👌

Awesome!!!!!

weller is GOD HEAD! san diego california here..US americans like him as well. Cheers!

Paul Weller rules👍🏼

Still mega fresh

@YannViseur There isn't one ,unfortunately. This was recorded from the telly - I bought it on ebay.

epic noise

Increíble...

Thanx a lot @brazil70. ;) I've found it because I recorded the show on a french channel a long time ago! ;) COuldn't remember. Thanx for the reply. ;)

They're all cooking on fucking gas, here. Awesome.

Tune 👌🏽

This is HUGE!

Superb performance. Weller at his best. Craddock rocks and Steve White, for me, best drummer around.

Unreal.

Wow now That's Fuckin Class

fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a copy of it on ebay (recorded off television)
