Hello everyone and thanks for the lovely comments. When I made this video, it was never meant to be a posh standard TV documentary. In fact quite the opposite. I was so fed up of all the same documentaries that had the same formula. I didn’t want any of that and lucky enough for me, I’m not professional enough to do that anyway. I wanted something more artistic and fly on the wall. Somethings that felt a little raw. I just made it as I went along with no real plan and that made it all the more real for me. I didn’t want a storyline either, so it’s a little random in places but kinda shows the nonstop pace of the band. It was always in my interest to do it for the fans and keep it real. Like an arty home video version of my book. Thanks everyone ❤
Thanks Andy, its such a great watch...
I'm halfway in and I love it! It's nice to get a closeup perspective of Paul and the band's touring life. I saw you guys in Boston in 2017 and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. You guys were tight. Tell Paul America misses him!
It's cool....and love the photos in the book
You’ve got talent Andy! Thank you.
Thanks Andy for that tremendous movie! I'm listening to Paul since 40 years now. Since being a little mod in '82 in Hamburg, I always enjoyed his music. And it is a miracle to me how that man keeps coming up with all that great new music after all these years. Luv' it that he keeps trying new things, searching for new ways. I hope he keeps doing this on and on. Thanx Mr. Weller for huge parts of the soundtrack of my life. And yeah, stop killing each other! 1:15:45
Paul is a very rare talent. I was lucky enough to see him in Berkeley, California. Even here in the US it was a full venue. I listen to The Style Council all the time.
It is beautifully amazing to me how someone who I have never met has had such a profound important and positive influence on my life. Thank you Paul.
Thank God for Paul Weller ❤
The voice of my generation, was then, is now ☀️
I know many people disparage his output with The Style Council and as a solo artist but, to me, Weller was, is and always will be, quite simply, the guvnor.
Don’t know why his solo stuff is his best
Simply because those narrow-minded punks until today can't move beyond the angsty music that The Jam churned out in the early years.
TSC and his first 3 solo albums are my favorites along with some of the Jam tunes, of course.
@nigelfelixcheongde2980 incorrect. Love all The Jam and first half of TSC, but his solo stuff does nothing for me. Sad, as he was my idol growing up.
@@Jackie-ji2sj only incorrect as far as you are concerned
Andy Crofts, take a bow you have done a tremendous job on this film, I cant believe its only got 12k views or so. Thanks to you Paul Steve, Steve, Ben, Andy, Hannah, everyone who was involved. Inspired to go and make music! Cheers
A killer piano player as well!
What a treat to see your days off in record shops, and the interviews with everyone (loved seeing Kenny!). It's just wonderful to see all the little daily workings of the Weller camp wherever you may be. Thank you, Andy!! Quite a gift.
He is a legend
Wildwood to me is an all time classic. Saw him perform it at The Hollywood Palladium. One of greatest shows I've had the pleasure of seeing. Also saw him at The Greek Theater and The House of Blues. Class act.
The guy turned me on so so much thank you Paul x
Keep movin on PW Total respect from 77 as a 13 year old till now. 😎
What a beautiful rendition of 'Ghosts'.
Tear jerker for me that one
One of my favorite Jam tunes
Best musician ever 😎👍🎶
Fantastic shows what a lovely man Paul is ❤
Wonderful doco, great insights and filming. Love the respect between the band, the band for the fans and the the fans for the band. And a wonderful, wonderful soundtrack.
I'd love too see a docu on Stevie Cradock. A totally unsung hero in music....what a player!
He's a total prick
@@Eightball69 Is he? What's the story morning glory?
The Ocean Colour Scene album is among my favorites from that period.
love it. Steve played guitars on a album I played drums on and produced.
First class documentary!
such a wonderful documentary of his recent touring. that version of Ghosts is wonderful - has a soul vibe going on. excellent film footage.
Wicked vid keep rockin paul
What a sweet docu! Thanks for the cameo. Really special to see Paul at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and the following night at the Fillmore (SF)! That show was full of love.
The quality of this is amazing. Loved that tour. So awesome to see it behind the scenes. Thanks Andy!!
Brilliant! hadn't heard of this 'one'. Loved it x
Seeing Paul watching Andy Fairweather Low reminded me of him watching Pete Townshend playing Sunrise and him being all nervous. I love Paul. He's a legend but he's very much a fan too. He lives it.
I well remember that scene ...had Townsend been the young 21 year old he'd have probably been cocky about how Weller couldnt play those tricky Jazz chord inversions Pete learnt from Micky Bakers excellent Jazz guitar tuition books as a young man ...after all this is the guy who even got all cocky with guitar genius Jimi Hendrix at Montrey rock festival ....as it was he's quite gracious. and humble to Paul not making a big deal of it ...I play Sunrise and it is tricky and cannot be learnt in 10 minutes by a Pop/rock player maybe a Jazz guitarist could...And thats no slur on Weller as he's no slouch himself and im a big fan of his Epiphone Casino/ SG into a marshall bluesbreaker tone and over the years laid down some great guitar ..but...Pauls like fucking hell i wish id picked a easier song ....then again had someone like eddie van halen or paul gilbert being there paul and pete would be be both like "er I'll get my coat then " lol
Great docu!Cheers for positioning it up!Never saw this one Their are so many. Didnt realize it was like 3 years ago!😀❤
And Paris now ? A cesspit.
Beautiful Soul.
Really happy I've stumbled over this. Great video, thanks for making available for free. Paul's last sentiment is even more pertinent in today's state of the world. And will someone explain to Paul the difference between astrology and astronomy please? 🤣
thanks, a nice gift ... including the suprising appearance of Andy Fairweather-Low
A real gentleman
Thanks for the nb baby, you give em soooo good.
Thank you very much for posting this & the full length playthrough of Ghosts in high quality, the 2015 version should have been released as a single! Been fan of Paul's since I was a teen blasting The Jam & running around with the pin on my jacket, so glad he's still going on writing, playing, recording & performing with top class people like you!
Cool wee video
Kenny Wheeler once gave me a bollocking at the Jams last gig in Brighton. I was a bit over excited. Ha!
Mod legend
Great documentary. and as an old Jam fan it took me a long time to appreciate Paul Weller as a solo artist, but eventually I got it! This documentary was very insightful and gave me a real understanding of the work that goes into it. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for making this film and teaching an old dog new tricks!
Weller in 85 ,we need another guitarist as I can't hold the strings down !
Last great intro was Written in stars!
Paul Weller enough said from Brian van Buren fan 4ever no matter what
After you've gone 🎶
What was the last song? I don't recognise it. That's the beauty of Weller. Always hearing something new. Thanks in advance ❤ xx
Carolina by the Folks Brothers ...tune!
Great documentary nice one sorry for the pun
I love wella and the jam..but his solo stuff would not be as great as it is with out Steve craddock on guitar...no one could add to those songs like he does....a very versatile....gifted ...defo talented guitarist....can bring speed n flash but knows when to use it ...has such a great feel ...love ocean colour scene also....very underrated in the guitar world steve .he should defo get more recognition......always looks Sharpe as too
My fav song is Whirlpool s End.
Weird he keeps his vocals on vinyl so low??? Yet live he's da bollocks!
Love this film. Watched it many times. The little snigger at 2:33 is great - he may have calmed down a bit in recent years but you can tell he still sees through the bullshit and lazy journo claptrap
Paul Wellers natal chart ruler is actually Saturn - I'm not sure if Paul knew that already or if he has a natural affinity to the planet
Film découvert pas hasard, quelle atmosphère ! Extra ! lov'it
He needs a beer
What is the song he's playing in the beginning(on the piano)?
third ONE
The Mod Father.......
During the opening track, I had a Brian Wilson moment. Tons of ideas poured into my head. I wanted to jump into my phone and blow it up.
A "Brian Wilson moment"? You mean a "senior moment"? Brian Wilson is almost catatonic these days. Have you seen him "play" live recently? he just sits there while the session musicians and backup singers perform his songs.
Can you get woodworm in a guitar? :0)
Loose the reverb on Ghosts!
Lose
The Bataclan - this was before the muslim attack
....fed up with The Beatles being mentioned!
Too much Beatles, is never enough...
Bring that up with Paul then?
Amen to that. As a BRIT, I suppose I should at least like them, but I don't.
The band isn't the same with out Andy Lewis.
Aye coz the bass is really shit now 😂
Bands not the same without Bruce Foxton ....Jacko Peake ....mark nelson. Yolanda Charles ..Sting..Damon minchella ...Edgar summers ..lol...That said and I miss the halcyon years when I used to go and see Weller Live of Steve on drums craddock guitar minchilla on bass...i preferred his much criticised so called "dad rock" phase....although I still have all his albums up to fat pop (which i need to add someday) as among the ..and it has to be said filler ...there always a few great tunes....Aspects off of True Meanings been a recent example ..I mean when i look at my substantial CD collection when i fancy listening to Kraftwerk or David Bowie i listen to them.....interestingly enough Ocean colour scene like ACDC found a winning formula and stuck with it despite been slagged off by the faddish "too cool for school" music press and more power to them i say...OCS are criminally underrated.....
He was better when he drank '93
Weller yes , the rest of the band no
Why is it that people or band members try to be mod like in there look.. Or wannabe look, any true style is street be more individual mods moved on very fast never looking back, even Steve marriot in the end dressed for comfort in dungarees. Don't be a follower be a leader. Just Ave it....
LOL...true dat......The middle aged guys in the over tight fred perrys and "jam shoes" and bowling shoes ,balding feather cut hair styles you see at weller gigs...I was recently looking for a winter coat as ive taken to walking to work...and for a few minutes in a fit of madness and nostalgia nearly bought a USA army M65 fishtail parka ....like i had in 1982...fortunately my wife had an "intervention" reminding me id look a "sad old cunt" and i haven't even got a scooter anymore and itd be like wearing motor bike leathers without a bike or Lycra cycling gear without a road bike (racing bike to non cyclists) ...I reminded her i did have a Road bike....and I did own some Lycra shorts budgie smugglers that been pretty slim I could just about carry off as long as i didnt need to stop off at the supermarket or walk though my workplace in with all the women snickering at me for looking like a knobhead and bordering on indecency lol.......long story short I bought a M65 Field jacket as a compromise and now pretend to be Robert De Nero on Taxi Driver ...Yeah...I'm a sad old cunt ....you lookin' at me ?
erster
I'm very disappointed this documentary is in black and white. Spoiled my enjoyment. If I had wanted black and white, I'd have turned off the color option on my TV!
Painfully poor.. Where is whitey
Reason why Weller never made it in the states....vocals to low in the mix. The yanks are very literal when it comes to words and us brits.
Jeez if only he’d known eh! Simple as that.
I can't really speak about his solo career ,but he said ,The Jam never made it big in the USA but neither did The Small Faces or egg 'n 'chips !
He didn’t market himself here in the US is why he didn’t make it here. As an American, I can assure you that we appreciate good music.
Shame really., Weller seems happy to be surrounded by yes men, churning out the same sub standard MOR Radio 2 crap year on year. I love him, but it's hard to be a fan these days 😑
You’re obviously stuck in the 70’s/80s. You need to move on because one thing you can’t level against PW is churning out sub standard MOR. Guy always pushing forward and maybe not every track is top notch but eclecticism and quality of songwriting is still up there. Says more about you than Weller with these blinded views
@@woodywood7228 not at all, I'm not stuck in any time period, but he's been past his best for a long time now. Still, you just can't reason with slavish Weller disciples 💁
@@woodywood7228 hilariously stupid comment you just made
@@Eightball69 You got that exactly right. Wellerheads are like fucking slavish Jonestown followers.
@@Eightball69 theyre like Fundamental Christians ,Jehovahs Witnesses and extremist Muslims you criticise their God and there all hell to pay..lol.....given that some weller fans are quite blinkered in their tastes ....I dont really class some of them as music fans as such ...more that they found something they like and can latch onto like a football team ... (they remind me of Heavy rock fans who would never enjoy a county artist like Bobbie Gentry or Taylor Swift and Bjork and The Police ... or Northern Soul fans who could never enjoy an Iron Maiden or bert jansch tune )..I wonder how they cope with wellers constant search for new sounds and inspiration. as he has grown older and wiser he has broadened his horizons ... I remember him talking about how he dug the band Free whereas as a young guy he'd have written them off because they had long hair ..I bet not many hardcore weller fanatics had david Bowie and Kraftwerk albums in their collections ...before Weller gave them the go ahead lol... .I love weller I saw the Jam and his early solo stuff live ...I like a lot of his new stuff too but sometime feel like he needs a quality control guy to advise him...in a lesser way he reminds me of Elvis surrounding himself with people whose living depends on been in his favour...look what happened to Pailo Hewitt....who incidentally wrote one of the most interesting books I've ever read on Weller .....that said as shown in Aspects off the True Meaning album...he can still write a killer tune...
Lacks charisma! Just a boring b&w docu really. No real warmth and humour...not one to remember. Should've been filmed in colour.
What a loser Weller is eh Scott? You seem to be to know how it’s done. 🤣🤣 maybe you should do something yourself seeing you know what’s goin on 😀
@@woodywood7228 oh another Wellerhead gets triggered and uptight!
It's comical, almost spinal tap, cliched! He shouldn't try singing with american intonations, vocally mixing english ain't good. End up singing flat! Use your voice, you ain't Marvin bruv, but you are Paul Weller man.
Perfect @andycroftsofficial one day every music documentary will be made this way.
Talbot taught well, 00:00 to 2:20.
I've gone right off him ! Totally overrated, material is about as exciting as dishwater... The modern stuff isn't a patch on things like Heavy Soul and the debut solo album . If I want real 60s vibes , I'll stick to the real 60s artists .
