 There is no doubt about the talent and reputation of Paul Weller as a well respected solo artist, lyricist, and guitarist. The fact that he continues to receive awards such as Best Solo Artist at the Brits last year only confirms his place within current music.

It's all very self explanatory really - A mixture of well known favourites, classics from the Jam, and a few from his album release earlier this year. As with previous live releases, there are a few covers scattered throughout and given the Weller treatment such as 'How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) with Lauren Pritchard. The CD is compiled from the highlights of his concert at the Royal Albert Hall and a small gig at the BBC Theatre he did for Radio 2 earlier this year. It's a tricky one isn't it? Paul Weller is a talented and well respected musician, but a live CD and DVD isn't anything new. Yes there are contributions from the likes of Kelly Jones, Richard Hawley, and Lauren Pritchard, but if you are a fan then chances are that you already have most of this and are not particularly bothered about their versions. But then he released 'Wake Up The Nation' earlier this year so new material is covered. The addition of a documentary style film by acclaimed director Julien Temple perhaps adds a slightly unique slant which will certainly be interesting for the real fans.
