Paul Weller - BBC Sessions, Volume 19: In Concert, BBC, London 2018 | Albums That Should Exist

 

Paul Weller - BBC Sessions, Volume 19: In Concert, BBC Radio Theatre, London, Britain, 11-1-2018

Paul says : I'm getting close! Just one more album after this, and I'll be caught up to present day with Paul Weller BBC albums. This is a BBC concert from 2018.

This concert is very similar to an official live album, "Other Aspects: Live at the Royal Festival Hall." Both were recorded in London in late 2018 with a band and a full orchestra. But this is an entirely different concert that took place about half a month after that concert. Naturally, their set lists are pretty similar. In all honesty, you might just want that official live album, since it's a full concert too and has more songs on it. But this is an unreleased BBC concert with excellent sound quality, so I'm posting it anyway.

Weller released the studio album "True Meanings" not long prior to this concert, in September 2018. So naturally there are a bunch of songs here from that. But he also goes back as far as his days with the Jam and the Style Council, selecting songs that work well with orchestral backing. 

This album is an hour and 11 minutes long.
