A-ha! The last Paul Weller BBC concert I had posted dates to 2021. I figured it was just a matter of time until he did another one. This one took place over a year ago (as I write this in August 2025), but while I knew about it, I couldn't find a recording of it. Happily, a few days ago, an anonymous musical friend sent me the recording which he taped off the radio.
This concert took place a month prior to the release of his studio album "66." He played three songs from it. Also, he played four songs from his previous album, 2021's "Fat Pop." Other than that, it's the expected mix of songs from his time in the Jam, the Style Council, and his solo career, performed with a full band.
The sound quality is excellent, even though this remains unreleased. Two songs have "[Edit]" in their titles. That's because during the applause at the end of the songs, a BBC DJ gave a station ID mention. So I used the UVR5 audio editing program to wipe out that DJ talk.
Paul Weller keeps going strong, seemingly unaffected by age. The only disappointment with this concert is that even though it has the length of a full concert, an additional seven songs were edited out of it. In case you're curious, here are the missing songs:
Nova
All the Pictures on the Wall
Glad Times
More
Headstart for Happiness
Broken Stones
My Ever Changing Moods
If anyone has them, please let me know so I can add them in.
This album is an hour and 17 minutes long.
