ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST | Paul Weller - BBC Sessions: In Concert, Braehead Arena, Glasgow, Scotland 2002

 Paul Weller - BBC Sessions, Volume 10: In Concert, Braehead Arena, Glasgow, Britain, 10-16-2002

Paul says : Here's yet another Paul Weller album for the BBC. This time, it's a full band concert from 2002.

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.
