I've played guitar live hundreds of times--sometimes solo, most of the time in various bands. And I've definitely screwed up my share of times. So you just gotta love a guy whose so comfortable in his own skin as to admit, to a crowd of tens of thousands, that he's made a mistake and then start again. That simply adds to his integrity as a musician and performer. Phenomenal.

paul admitted his mistake...but if it was a singer of today he'd say that it was not my mistake

[nootaramus]

well sometimes you just don't get it going right or worse fuck up in the middle when there is no going back. but these guys are so comfortable they don't give a shit..I saw justin hayward of the moody blues get lost in a song once, he just smiled and sang " I don't know what the fuck I am singing" and then caught up. how can you not like that ? of course you can't do it on every song.

He is getting old, I can understand if he makes a mistake, my grandpa is about the same age and he can barelly walk, let alone play guitar so beautifully

[davsan33]
