Weller is someone who knows the value of getting promoted by the BBC. I've already posted seven BBC albums he did with the Jam, three more with the Style Council, and this is the tenth for him as a solo artist. Plus, I recently found another Style Council one (which I plan on posting soon), and I have another ten solo ones planned (at least). When all is said and done, I'll probably post more BBC albums by him than any other musical act.
And there's even more that I could post, but I won't. In particular, the official box set "At the BBC" has some incomplete concerts with all the banter removed. I'm generally avoiding those if I can find others from the same general era that are full concerts.
That's what I've done here. This is within the time period of the box set, but it wasn't included on it. So everything here is officially unreleased. It's a full concert, with banter, that was nonetheless broadcast by the BBC. I posted one from just the year before. But that was a solo acoustic concert, whereas this is with a full band.
A month prior to this concert, Weller had released the studio album "Illumination," so naturally there are some songs here from that. But he also played songs from the Jam and the Style Council as well as from earlier in his solo career.
The album is two hours and eight minutes long.

Dude, I don't know where you get your information from, but once again, this is nothing to do with the BBC. It's a commercially available DVD produced by the Sanctuary Records Group, nothing to do with the BBC.
ReplyDeleteJust because a concert has turned into a DVD doesn't mean it wasn't broadcast by the BBC at some point. Take for instance the 1982 Roxy Music concert I posted recently, which was a BBC broadcast then later became a DVD for sale (with no mention of its BBC origins). I have a loose definition of what is a BBC broadcast. It doesn't have to have been originally recorded by the BBC staff, just broadcast by the BBC (TV or radio) at some point. They often picked up things broadcast first by others. For instance, I'll soon be posting a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert that originally was done by the Austin City Limits TV show, but for whatever reason, the BBC decided to later broadcast that too. You can see evidence of that here:

I don't remember the details of this one, since I collected this years ago. But trust me, I'm not going to post anything as BBC unless I find good reason for it.
And just because a concert is broadcast on the BBC doesn't mean it was "made for the BBC". Your response makes no sense. The reason that the Weller show wasn't included on his 'At The BBC' boxset is because it is nothing to do with the BBC as already mentioned. The Stevie Ray Vaughan show you mentioned was broadcast on the BBC because the BBC paid for broadcast rights to it. That's how it works. That doesn't make it a BBC show. It's like stating that the 'Back To The Future' trilogy that was recently broadcast (again) on BBC TV therefore it was "made for the BBC". It's nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAs an example, I can find no record that any of your latest uploads from Loreley - Dave Edmunds, Steve Miller Band and Joe Cocker - have ever been broadcast on any BBC platform so how on earth are you labelling them as 'BBC Sessions'? In fact, very few 'Loreley' - or 'Rockpalast' shows as they're sometimes known - have ever been broadcast on any BBC Radio Station or BBC TV Channel. The BBC has the biggest collection of recorded music on planet. They don't label music they haven't produced as their own, they have no need to.
It's a shame because I was really and genuinely looking forward to your BBC Project until I realised that you're bizarrely including material that isn't actually anything to do with the BBC at all. BBC Radio began broadcasting in 1922, are you seriously suggesting that everything broadcast on every BBC radio platform since then is classed by you as 'BBC Sessions'? If you're really serious about doing a 'BBC Project' - and I sincerely hope you still are, then you really need to do some better and more accurate research as to what is and what isn't a BBC production.
Just because you don't know something, doesn't mean that thing isn't true. I dig pretty deep to find sourcing about this kind of stuff, and no doubt sometimes come up with obscure information that you don't know. Regarding the 1983 Loreley concert, I could point to multiple sources that show the concert was broadcast on the BBC. Here's one, for instance, from a database list of what was broadcast on the BBC In Concert time slot each week:
Delete3 Sep – No ‘In Concert’. Instead there was The Rock Palast Open Air Festival featuring U2, Steve Miller, Joe Cocker, The Stray Cats and Dave Edmunds are interviewed by Richard Skinner and recorded in concert at the Rock Palast Open Air Festival, Lorelei, Germany (broadcast from 4pm)

I do have an expansive definition of what constitutes a BBC session or concert. If you have a different definition, that's your right. But this is my definition and you're not likely to change my mind about it. I'm not going to waste more of my time trying to re-find source information to present to you just to try to convince you that I'm being honest. Enjoy some or all of the music presented here. It's an option you otherwise wouldn't have.
