My brother and I saw him on this tour at the Kingdome in Seattle WA. I have my ticket stub and a tee shirt (that I don't often wear). Looks pretty new. He is an amazing musician and LOVES what he does!!!
We also saw the Beatles in 1966 at Dodger Stadium in LA. It was the night before their last US concert in at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Still have my ticket stub for that too!
It is a 5 string. The make is Wal. He played it alot on the 89/90 tour. He has said in interviews that he like the bass tracks on Peter Gabriel's 80's work. in particular he like the rumble that the low B gave. He was also was working with a producer at the time who played a Wal, so Paul ordered one up from them. It was used alot on the Flowers in the Dirt cd.
A man who is at least in his 60s, trying to act like he's in his 20s. I'm not saying that older people should not have energy and do things, but Macca makes my buttocks clench.
@dutchgoing Interesting... I'm thinking that all of this says more about you than it does about Macca. Sorry my friend, you seem to be in a vast minority. But rather than reiterate, I'll leave you with the thought that you may want to consider lightening up!
@trader197 I was merely saying that he is creatively dead, tours and makes albums because it is all about making as much money as possible and that there is very little art left. Things run their course & Macca has been a has-been for a long time. It is very embarrassing seeing somebody of his age trying to act all cool for the kids. The anger you display over somebody (that's me AND Macca btw) who doesn't even know you exist tells me you are a real fan indeed.
@Yellyist I grew up listening to the Beatles. My opinion is that Macca's creativity ended when he no longer had an equal in John Lennon to play his songs to and vice versa. The sad fact is that neither of them got better post 1970 and that Macca seemed content with making middle of the road music which broke no boundaries, sounded quite nice and made lots of money. He became as embarrassing as Frank Sinatra, should have stopped in 1979 or earlier really.
@dutchgoing That`s the same for everyone else that used to be around in the 60`s. Brian Wilson, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan The Who used to be better in the 60`s.. I think Paul is a great perfomer, and he`s definitely worth listening to live. And he did release a good album in 2005 when he released "Chaos and creation in the back yard" That`s a great album.
@Yellyist Absolutely true there, I just think the mark of a really great artist is knowng when to do something else even it isn't commercial. I'm sure Macca would be super live but I'm not sure about the back catalogue because it can't mean the same to him now or anything as the creator of it. The Who were a different band in the 70s but should have stopped by 1978 or so. I think the rot set in for Macca by 1979. His stuff in the 80s was cringe-making mor slush compared to the Beatles.
@dutchgoing i think the 80`s were a disaster for everybody. It was a horrible decade musically, with all these fucking synths. Paul McCartney made two really good albums in the 80`s. 1. Tug of war, and 2. Flowers in the dirt. He made didn`t make a single lousy album in the 90`s. I mean "Flaming pie" is a great album, and recieved great reviews. I think Wings was horrible. "Band on the run" had four really good tracks, the rest is mediocre. His best post-beatles album is "Ram"
@Yellyist I think when I was getting into the Beatles in the 80s I'd compare it with his output then and see it as dreadful and re-inforced with his mostly dire output in the 70s made me give up right there. I liked the synth bands of the early 80s, New Romatics were good but mostly the 80s were BAD! When Macca dies the media won't be long in saying how patchy his solo career was & he would NEVER have got a Knighthood as the 'acceptable' half of the duo had Lennon lived into the present day.
@dutchgoin Paul McCartney`s beatles song was enough for him to get a knighthood. When Paul McCartney dies they will mourn a genius and a legend.Paul McCartney wrote songs like "Yesterday, Eleanor rigby, Let it be, The fool on the hill,Maybe i`m amazed, The long and winding road,Penny lane, Blackbird etc etc. That`s Paul McCartney`s legacy. What Paul did in the 80`s is long forgotten.Paul McCartney hasn`t released a lousy album the last 25 years.His recent work has been hailed by critics and fans
@Yellyist Yes again you are right, he had a crap period, let's agree on 71 to 90. I gave up on him in the 80s & yes he may be better, but to my ear it is still very safe & bland, just MOR, but some MOR is good. If he wants to be considered an Artist then questioning the integrity of singing a song from the 60s 4+ decades later when the genuine reason for writing is long gone, because people change, you are left with a money motive not a real artistic one. People will say this too when he dies.
@dutchgoing I don`t agree that Paul is doing live shows cause he needs money. It`s his passion. He plays the beatles songs cause they`re his biggest hits and people demand hits when he plays. Imagine a McCartney concert without "Yesterday" or "Let it be" I`m sure he would prefer to play his newer material, but the audience wants to hear him play beatles songs. It`s the same for the Stones and who ever else. They want to hear the hits.
@Yellyist It isn't because he needs the money. It is probably very nice to hear the back catalogue live indeed. If you wrote a song in your 20s, by your 60s the reason for writing it, the motivation would be less relevant because people change with time. In an Artistic sense I would expect a real artist to have changed his point of view about old material, even out-grown it. The reason for playing them is mainly commercial which attenuates his status as an artist in the strictest sense,
@dutchgoing As someone said. Paul McCartney didn`t have to do a damn thing after what he did with the Beatles. The songs he made in the beatles will always be the ones he will be remembered for. He`s had his moments after the beatles too. Maybe i`m amazed is a solo gem and probably the best love song he`s ever written. The same thing goes for Bob Dylan. His greatest songs was written in the 60`s. Paul is a living legend today. He`s written great music that will forever. I love him!
@Yellyist Yes that's completely true, but what would have been really really cool would have been to stop doing music as a career and issue an album every 5-10 years, because he felt like it, no tours, just a small gig here and there. The other thing that would have been COOL would have been turning down the knighthood. Kind of sad really that somebody so self-made lacked the integrity late in life to tell them to stuff it up their arses frankly.
@dutchgoing Keith Richards told them to go fuck yourself when they offered him a knighthood. I`m sure John would have turned down a knighthood too. But Paul and John were different, and Paul accepted. I`m fine with that. He doesn`t use the title anyhow. Just call me Paul was his answer when people asked him how he wanted to be adressed. I`m glad he`s touring cause i like to see him.I`ve seen him once and it was a great show. I think he`s better than many of the younger acts.He`s a good performer
@Yellyist Is that right? You see Keef is still a gritty rocker, didn't sell out. If Lennon had lived Macca would never have been offered one because JL would NOT have been offered one because he already sent back his MBE. People who sent their gongs back when the Beatles got theirs were given theirs back when Lennon returned his. The establishment in the UK is THAT petty and SHITTY that a real artist would not even consider becoming part of it. Sorry but Paul really really sold out and it's sad.
@dutchgoing I don`t give a shit about the knighthood. Elton John accepted one, so did Mick Jagger. I don`t care. I don`t have a beef with that. Paul deserved his knighthood. He`s the best songwriter in the world in my view. Hit catalogue is amazing. He wrote gems like "The long and winding road" "Let it be" "Yesterday" "Maybe i`m amazed" "The fool on the hill" all by himself with no help or contribution from John Lennon. Paul is amazing. He`s incredible. John is the only one as talented as Paul
@Yellyist I don't think you really understand what a knighthood is. It isn't some kind of corporate meritocratic award. People who considered themselves part of the counter-culture & who completely validated themselves via a career in the music biz don't have to stoop to accepting anything from the feudal establishment. It is a way of buying people off with social acceptance, a real sell-out when they presented thmselves as artists to their fans. Would have been so cool if Paul had said No.
@dutchgoing Well, i guess it would have been cool if he had told them to go fuck themselves like Richards did, but he didn`t. He didn`t lose his cred with me. I judge him for his songs, and for his talent. I don`t care about the man and what he does on his own time. I`m not a sicko fan. I love his music, i don`t give a shit about the man. I think Keith Richards and John Lennon are cooler than Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger, but i still love both Mick and Paul as musicians and songwriters!
@Yellyist I'd have to agree with that. I think you can like the music without being interested in the man. In the end we don't know them so we have to guess at their motivation, but that's a business in itself.
@dutchgoing I think personally that both Lennon and Richards are more interesting as human beings than Paul and Mick are, cause Keith and John spoke their minds. Paul is too diplomatic, and Mick is too slick. But that`s the way they are and i suppose it`s good that people are different. Paul sounds like a history teacher when they interview him. It`s boring. But i LOVE him as a musician and as a songwriter. His music is magical to me. I love John`s music too. I love them both as musicians.
@Pudabudigada You fail to understand the IRONY I was employing. Macca sings these songs because it is a money making business, his personal connection to this & other songs he wrote in his 20s is very minimal, because people do move on with time. Having been shielded from most maturing influences since the 1960s he is a person who lacks a normal quota of maturity, singing the old songs because he can't write decent ones any more & because it pays well. And you think I'M a fake for saying it..LOL
@Pudabudigada 1. Big deal 2. Yes I read it. 3. My post was entirely gramatical, you can have a long sentence, just like the one I wrote, broken up into clauses. Did you never read a real book in your life before? 4. Never heard of it, but at least you did not cite 'The Frog Song' or the atrocious 'Rockestra'.
@dutchgoing Okay, I get it, you're a troll! Also; 'My post was entirely gramatical ... Did you never read a real book in your life before?' If you're trying to prove you have a grasp on grammar, at least, you know, USE REAL WORDS AND GOOD GRAMMAR IN YOUR REPLY!
@Pudabudigada Aside from the entirely deliberate spelling mistake, which you missed didn't you clever-clogs, otherwise you would have said 'spelling', all the words are real and the syntax is slightly casual, but otherwise correct. English is actually my second language. I'll leave you to your Macca collection. You are 17, can't you be more hip in your tastes maybe? Come back when you have a Masters which you studied in a second language little boy.
@Pudabudigada Yes, I see now too, this person is a troll, someone with not much of a life other than to make repetitive provocative comments, and evidently lacking in much human contact otherwise. The best thing is to ignore him,, it's a bit ridiculous ;)
I do get the feeling that he should have outgrown these songs he wrote in his 20s and that it is actually inappropriate for him to sing them now. He has failed to mature much with time, having been insulated from normal maturing influences & real life nearly the whole of his adult life.
@trader197 He sings the old ones because he hasn't written good new ones for a long time and because it pays. You want a fake experience, then go to one of his gigs maybe. All the pretending to be cool and with-the-kids is just cringe making, he's a guy in his 60s, his singing naive pop songs about new love is a bit creepy really.
@dutchgoing First, he's written many excellent songs recently which he does sing at the concerts, there are many examples too numerous to list here. Secondly, I guess the hundreds of thousands of wildly enthusiastic fans at these gigs must not realize they are actually having a fake, creepy. pretentious experience, perpetrated by someone who's only in it for the money. Well, it's only been going on for 40 or so years, people are bound to wake up sometime ;-)
@trader197 He hasn't written a good song for many a year, name one that everybody has heard of maybe. The people at his gigs certainly have a good time, but let's not pretend it means anything unless a man in his 60s singing about how he felt in his 20s and still pretending he is IN his 20s isn't a peculiar event, but each to their own. Macca died creatively in the early 70s, just because it's been going on for 40+ years isn't a measure of how good it is. Macca does it for the MONEY end of.
@dutchgoing If you want to know of recent songs which "everybody has heard of", just check a recent setlist from a gig and then look up dates written. For the rest, simply reread my earlier post. Yes, everyone but you is out of touch, I'm sure ;-)
@trader197 If everybody had heard of them I would not have to look them up, I'm talking about things he has written in the last 20 years, can't think of any. He became a rather cringe-making Frank Sinatra type of person a long time ago, his shows are no doubt great, but keep wishing he would just stop by a certain time of life.
@dutchgoing Lol, so who is this "everybody" who hasn't heard of them, you? Not what I would call a measure of whether something is good or not. Those familiar with the music can name numerous great songs in the last 20 years, I can think of several great ones in the last three years or so. For future reference, be sure and stop whatever you're doing by a certain time in life, or you may run afoul of judgmental, holier than thou people who are only too quick to find fault ;-).
@trader197 I thought Macca should have stopped doing what he has been doing by at least 1980. All that thumbs-up-I'm-really-with-it-and-hip act he does just makes me laugh, it is so fake and so sad. Sorry I really can't hum a single song of his of the last two decades and I do listen to the radio. Somebody at school lent me a copy of 'Pipes of Peace' in 1983 and aside from the single & the genius production it was bland & dreadful. He was already creatively dead way back then.
I was there. It was very hot (over 90 degrees) and humid in Ames, Iowa. I thought why he could wear the suit on. It was the greatest concert ever. The huge thunder storm hit 30 min after the show was over. We were very lucky.
hes really great!!! but john was really the man R.I.P. John Lennon 1940-1980 George Harrison 1943 -2001 & Paul and Ringo keep on making magic guys!:DDDD
Paul sei fantasticooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo TI AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! sempre con gli urletti mi raccomando...acuti ecc...anche quando vieni in italia!! Ti giuro...You turn me on!!!^^
@vantrifan Yeah; his voice wasn't at it's best but like you said, he's a god. He can do NO wrong. Can't wait to see him in Puerto Rico April 5th... Woo Hoooo....
To me, raspiness isn't the problem. I actually prefer this song better when his voice sounds "raspy". In this performance it seems like he is actually struggling to sound raspy. For a better example of this kind of tone check out the version of this from the Concert for Kampuchea from 1979 or any of the early Wings concerts on songs like Let Me Roll It. In this version you can actually here his voice cracking as he goes for the high notes on "theeeerrreee!"
I agree. Actually, he should use his raspy voice on those "theeeerrreee!" too. Also, one cannot always be on top, people have bad days. we all know how it sounds when he's in THE mood, don't we?
It is nice to see Sir Paul reunited with his Lovely Linda. A true artist will always interpret his work/art in more than one format/style. His rendition of this song will always sound great regardless.
no one should complain on mccartney's voice. are there any serious artist who have done as many voice imitations like him? I mean voices' like Elvis, Little Richard, Louise Armstrong... even Bonnie Tyler
Well, he should be getting old, i mean, he's about fifty years when this performance was made. Mccartney has also smoked grass, which affects both aging and voice
looks like paul mccartney hair is going gray in this video

@dutchgoing First, he's written many excellent songs recently which he does sing at the concerts, there are many examples too numerous to list here. Secondly, I guess the hundreds of thousands of wildly enthusiastic fans at these gigs must not realize they are actually having a fake, creepy. pretentious experience, perpetrated by someone who's only in it for the money. Well, it's only been going on for 40 or so years, people are bound to wake up sometime ;-)

@trader197 He hasn't written a good song for many a year, name one that everybody has heard of maybe. The people at his gigs certainly have a good time, but let's not pretend it means anything unless a man in his 60s singing about how he felt in his 20s and still pretending he is IN his 20s isn't a peculiar event, but each to their own. Macca died creatively in the early 70s, just because it's been going on for 40+ years isn't a measure of how good it is. Macca does it for the MONEY end of.

@dutchgoing If you want to know of recent songs which "everybody has heard of", just check a recent setlist from a gig and then look up dates written. For the rest, simply reread my earlier post. Yes, everyone but you is out of touch, I'm sure ;-)
trader197 1 year ago
@trader197 If everybody had heard of them I would not have to look them up, I'm talking about things he has written in the last 20 years, can't think of any. He became a rather cringe-making Frank Sinatra type of person a long time ago, his shows are no doubt great, but keep wishing he would just stop by a certain time of life.

@dutchgoing Lol, so who is this "everybody" who hasn't heard of them, you? Not what I would call a measure of whether something is good or not. Those familiar with the music can name numerous great songs in the last 20 years, I can think of several great ones in the last three years or so. For future reference, be sure and stop whatever you're doing by a certain time in life, or you may run afoul of judgmental, holier than thou people who are only too quick to find fault ;-).

@trader197 I thought Macca should have stopped doing what he has been doing by at least 1980. All that thumbs-up-I'm-really-with-it-and-hip act he does just makes me laugh, it is so fake and so sad. Sorry I really can't hum a single song of his of the last two decades and I do listen to the radio. Somebody at school lent me a copy of 'Pipes of Peace' in 1983 and aside from the single & the genius production it was bland & dreadful. He was already creatively dead way back then.

I was there. It was very hot (over 90 degrees) and humid in Ames, Iowa. I thought why he could wear the suit on. It was the greatest concert ever. The huge thunder storm hit 30 min after the show was over. We were very lucky.

1. Speed this song up by 15 percent.
2. If you're going to have everyone in the audience go "Whoa," count down first, 3-2-1, to give 'em a chance to get ready.
3. Don't refer to the "People of Iowa." You're playing for each individual person in the audience, not for the "people of Iowa."

To me, raspiness isn't the problem. I actually prefer this song better when his voice sounds "raspy". In this performance it seems like he is actually struggling to sound raspy. For a better example of this kind of tone check out the version of this from the Concert for Kampuchea from 1979 or any of the early Wings concerts on songs like Let Me Roll It. In this version you can actually here his voice cracking as he goes for the high notes on "theeeerrreee!"
looking2hard 4 years ago
I agree. Actually, he should use his raspy voice on those "theeeerrreee!" too. Also, one cannot always be on top, people have bad days. we all know how it sounds when he's in THE mood, don't we?

It is nice to see Sir Paul reunited with his Lovely Linda. A true artist will always interpret his work/art in more than one format/style. His rendition of this song will always sound great regardless.

Evangeline101kk 4 years ago
Well, he should be getting old, i mean, he's about fifty years when this performance was made. Mccartney has also smoked grass, which affects both aging and voice
