Paul McCartney - Lonesome Town [PETA, LIVE]

Peta Party of the Century, 1999 Concert. Paul McCartney & Friends: The PETA Concert for Party Animals documents a September 18, 1999 charity concert for PETA, People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the highlight of which is a short set by Paul McCartney, one of his first live appearances after the 1998 death of his wife Linda.
McCartney's six-song set ends the show on a high note. All the songs are drawn from his 1999 album Run Devil Run, which was largely an album of covers, the rock 'n' roll music he loved. This love comes through strongly in his set, beginning with a rousing "Honey Hush," and his perfectionism comes through when he stops the band during the intro of "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man," insisting the song didn't start well (he's right). The rest of the set is split between the slow-tempo, soulful numbers "No Other Baby" and "Lonesome Town," and the high-spirited "Try Not To Cry" and "Run Devil Run"

That voice was amazing, man! Loved it. Paul's version of the song (in my opinon at least) is the best I've ever heard. Great song.

I bet you that 90% of the audience dont know that Rick Nelson had a smash hit with this song. This song was written by Baker Knight.

[buzzbeier]

Very good, but Ricky Nelson version is much better.

[scrtg]

I like it very much. I like it even better than ricky's own performance. After all, guys, we have to admit macca has a unique voice

[SvarteIX]

@Masteroftheunive1000 Neither do I really =\ I like Nelson's and Knight's versions much more.

Sou suspeito para falar de um astro que para mim é um dos maiores artistas mundiais!

Sem dizer que além de eu ser baixista também, acho que parecemos muito!!

Tudo que esse cara faz é muito respeitado e bem feito! Parabéns Paul!!
