Paul Weller At The Metro Arena In Newcastle – performance Review!

Following the annulment of his December date, Paul Weller was at the Metro Radio Arena on Friday night. Gary Beckwith was there.

A BLUSTERY and wind-torn North East saw Paul Weller and his staff sweep into a packed Arena at the weekend. On my trek to the performance I lost count of the wind-swept Weller simulation haircuts decorated by fans, but what was in store was no pale imitation of the ex- Style group and Jam frontman.

Opening with Push It Along the pace of the night was set. What followed was an assorted mix of tracks from a alarming back catalogue.

Weller masterfully wove jointly favourites such as 22 Dreams, All I want toDo , From The Floorboards Up, Dust and Rocks, and Jam and Style committee hits Start! and Shout To The Top.The energetic 52-year-old never let up the momentum excluding for a brief spell on organ and keyboards for mass pleasers You Do Something To Me but option up the pace again with Broken Stones.
