In the 80s Paul Weller belonged to the group of major whizz-kids in the European music scene - first with "The Jam" and then with the British group "The Style Council". Lyricist, singer and musician Paul Weller, together with keyboardist Mick Talbot, released their first and successful album "Introducing the Style Council". Their music style increasingly took on the typical elements of black funk and white soul, but the lyrics became more and more socialcritical, in contrast to their playful music. Some of their greatest chart hits in Great Britain were "Money Go Round" - Number 11 in 1983 - and "Shout to the Top" - Number 7 in 1984, both of which can be heard in this concert recording. In connection with the concert, Full House moderator Alan Bangs interviews Paul Weller on the originality of pop music.

Power and corruption—and the men who rule with them—are ruthlessly scrutinized in this multilayered French work set in a shadow realm of arms dealers and blood ties. Part Shakespearean family tragedy, part political noir, it recalls such American paranoid thrillers of the 1970s as All the President’s Men and Marathon Man, revealing protagonists who work in the shadows, the unseen kings of the contemporary jungle.

A talented musician fraught with a troubled career, Steve Marriott is best remembered as the frontman for the mod band the Small Faces, which also included Ronnie Lane, and future Who drummer Kenny Jones. At odds with his fame and dogged by the constant near-miss of success, Marriott nonetheless played with a passion and innovation that has inspired generations. His early demise when his house caught fire was a tragedy to the music world, and his popularity has, ironically, only grown since his death. This footage documents the concert held to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Marriott's death.
