As good a place here to put it, as most acts at Glastonbury they play their main hits and the crowds love it..

Was at Custom house square last night for Paul Weller, lovely night weather wise, Magners flowing, but feel when these guys have so many to play from that they don't play the big ones, maybe try and promote other stuff. I suppose its his concert and he can sing what he wants, but the missus maybe recognised 2 or 3 songs at best and when the big songs did come on the crowd were massively involved, when he played lesser numbers the bar was full..
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I as there with my wife last night also , she wouldn't be a huge fan by any means but between the style council songs and the old jam classics  along with his early solo stuff like changing man/ broken stones  she would have known about a dozen of the setlist songs and she enjoyed it a lot more than she expected

If 'You do something to me' hadn't have come on (was our wedding song) she'd have flipped lol!

I enjoyed it btw, the Weller lookalikes where brilliant, I was going to buy a Fred Perry yesterday morning but just resisted lol

Nowadays it's probably just annoyance. Some of the photos of the punters at Oasis were magic last year  ;D

Did they all look like this?

I have no doubt that you were a full on Mod back in the day ;D

I had tickets to go but other stuff came up,  used to be a real die hard fan but drifted in recent years,  probably from the Stanley Road album.  I would personally say that album was him at his musical peak

Yeah, cracking album...

My oldest Bro had the full kit as a mod, Parker coat Boating blazer, the hair, loafers and when he asked the parents for a Vespa they declined as we'd no where to put it lol!  City Hall on a Sat morning the place was full of Mods and Skin heads, the punks more so around Corn Market 

To be fair the women Mods were hot
