Paul did not disappoint with a great mix of brand new and classics. Him and his band sounded great! Sharon Jones and her Dap Kings opened for him and blew me away! Such a pleasant surprise. What energy and soul to get the evening started!

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings were fantastic, very high-energy, old-school R&B dance party band, I thought Paul Weller would have a helluva time topping them but he pulled it off! He mixed old and new, looked and sounded great, had a terrific guitarist (I wish I knew his name!), really connected with the audience who was standing (dancing more like it) thru the whole show. There was a group of guys next to us who were singing along to every song, a really great show. Took two friends, one who didn't know either band and the other only familiar with Paul Weller's music with the Jam and the Style Council and both were impressed and had a great time.

Awesome concert! It was the perfect balance of songs from the Jam, Style Council and his solo career. He just had about 3 more hours worth of songs to play.

As always I was abuzz before Weller's show and blown away after. PW is the most talented songwriter/guitar player I have ever seen. If you are unfamiliar with him, you are greatly shorting yourself.

I love how he revisits older songs and tweeks them a little to infuse some new life.His lineup included music from The Jam, Style Council and of course his solo material. Fantastic. The Greek Theater is very nice but they enforce a curfew, which blows. PW was just getting warmed up and had to stop.

Another great show from Mr. Weller and the band. Songs old and new played with fire & skill. Really fine sound as well. Only saw the last 2 songs of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings but they were hot and Sharon worked the crowd to great effect. We saw them about a year ago and they are totally worth your time and money!

Of course Weller was top. The Greek is gorgeous. Great seats, excellent facilities. The restrooms are amazing-so huge and clean. The staff at the service counters are friendly and nice. I wish I could watch all my shows at the Greek! Would have loved to have been closer. But ticketmaster never never let me buy the most expensive tickets that I want. I'm always a little disappointed, coz I am willing to pay.

Very disapointed in the show, went back the next night to see The Script. The difference in an artist in the twilight of a career and a band on the upswing was vast, the level of enthusiasm from the Script was amazing, Paul unfortnately didn't have this, sad.

Weller started his 2 ++ hour, 33 song concert by playing his excellent new album, "Sonic Kicks," with his fantastic band complete with string section, from beginning to end. Paul looked dapper in his suit as his wife came out to accompany him on, "Study in Blue." After a brief pause, Weller had changed into more casual attire to perform a six song acoustic set with his band starting with the old Jam favorite, "The Butterfly Collector." The third set powerfully returned to the electric for nine more songs mostly from his last two records with gems from his solo career (Stanley Road; Foot of The Mountain; Whirlpool's End). Two encores would complete a fantastic night in NYC.

Cheezes, Paul! You should be ashamed of yourself. And, from how you held yourself on stage, I think you were. To bring such an under-rehearsed pile of dog's droppings before the public as that new album. You had us reaching for our Blackberries and looking to see whether our shoelaces were properly tied. And to think you could make it alright by playing a few golden oldies at the end was just simply exploitative. Now, next time, turn up ready to play and with a crew of sound technicians who are capable of producing more than an acoustic farrago of ill-sorted sounds, with that deafening screeeeeeeech thrown in for good measure -- the first time I've ever been deafened at a gig (and you're talking to a guy who used to go to Ted Nugent concerts mate).

the show was phenominal. Paul Weller played for about 3 hours. He gave the people exactly what they were hoping for, a spectacular show. Glad i drove 6 hours to make the show. I met two gentlement that'd hopped on flights in order to make the show. One flew in from California.

Bravo to Mr. Weller. and a "thank you"

Weller reached back thru 20 years of solo albums after playing his new album Sonik Kicks in its entirety, did a brief acoustic set and then finished the nearly 3 hour show with 2 of The Jam's best songs, "Eton Rifles" and "Town Called Malice". Really enjoyed this concert.

The new album is lovely. It was a very elegant and civilised show that also rocked the night. Weller fans are also just extremely well behaved and thoughtful humans, so it was pretty amazing all around...We danced and swayed and just generally floated on air for more than two hours...Plenty of classic Weller solo stuff to satisfy your cravings as well...

First half was the new album and it sounded terrific. And then things really improved in the second half with the acoustic set, including a spine tingling "Butterfly Collector" and more involvement from the back up singers and strings.
Just incredible.
Oh, and lest I forget, of approximately three dozen shows of his that I've seen over the years, this was the lest attended...couldn't believe how fabulous it was to be so close to the Modfather.

Perhaps it was the almost full set that PW did at the Varvatos store earlier in the day, but the first half of the show seemed to have extremely poor acoustics. I realize that Best Buy doesn't have the best sound to begin with, but Saturday night's performance was vastly improved over Friday's.
I'm speculating here, but I think that the crew just didn't have enough time to get everything right.
