“We always get nervous, I’ve been nervous for 40 years or more. Whether it’s a small gig or a big gig it doesn’t make too much odds, it’s the same nervousness,” Paul Weller told Amazon Prime Instant Video just before going on stage. “It would matter of it was two people, two hundred people or twenty thousand, because it’s the moment of truth when you play live. It’s only you and the audience, there’s no hiding before anything at all. Every time you go out to play you’re always going out to prove yourself, you can’t afford not to be nervous. Even though it’s annoying at the time, nerves can be a good thing because nerves give you that extra little edge.”
“This year’s Amazon Front Row Live Show with Paul Weller followed an explosive performance from The Kaiser Chiefs at last year’s festival, as well as a secret gig with Ed Sheeran on the Amazon rooftop,” Jay Marine, Vice President Amazon Instant Video EU. “We’re delighted to have filmed all these performances to give our Amazon Prime customers the best seat in the house at these great gigs.”
