So last night, i went to The Man, at madison square gardens
WOWOWOWOW!!!!!
It was amazing how well this guy can still play!
It was jaw dropping from start to finish. He played for almost 2 hours 45 minutes! without any set brakes until the encores. Thats hard for any band to do let alone if your 63! Also his song slection was great! he played songs i never expected such as:
Elenor rigby, For noone, penny lane, please please me, too many people
Then in one of his encores he played a song that was so amazing to see him do because this song takes out sooo much energy and emotion:
Helter Skelter
He fu cking played Helter Skelter!!!!
The whole night was just amazing, if you don't have tickets to this show, go get them now.I got mine the day before the concert, so dont think its too late.( remember, who knows when he's gonna croak...so see him as soon as you can )

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

I've seen him a couple of times and he does put on a great show. I'm hoping he comes to the UK soon.
I'd love to hear him play "For no-one".

I saw him once in Madrid. The concert was great, but the sound was terrible...
He's one of the greatest. I remember I was pleasantly surprised by his energy, specially in a great performance of Sergeant Peppers... (original & reprise)

^^ Penny Lane is most definitely Paul's. Strawberry Fields Forever was John's on the other side.
Greatest single of all time btw.

Surprisingly, Paul McCartney is not listed on this site BePinkTheater.
I've moved your thread to the correct section.

Let's get real here, it's been a hell of a long time since Paul's last great song. His live show is mostly about playing some of the highlights of his back catalogue.
In a lot of cases this would be a sorry spectacle, but the fact that he's probably the most successful songwriter (or co writer) of the last 50 years, still has a pretty good voice and can play bass, piano and guitar as well as he ever could, makes his live shows incredible value - see him live and you get some idea of what all the fuss was about back in the 60s. If you haven't seen him live, go at the next opportunity.
