Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 Was just... holy sheet. The set list had a few variations from what he's been normally touring with, but still pretty similar. Fireworks and balls of flame oh my. If you have a chance to see him, do it, but the concert at the Stick was just fantastic. Last event before they demolish it, also the very last venue at which the Beatles played a concert. He started off Long Tall Sally with by saying this was the song they ended their last concert with in 1966. The Beatles tunes were great, but they weren't as good as the Wings stuff. I'm way Beatles >>>> Wings, but the modern sound threw off electric Beatles songs. The man has some serious chops though. They jammed Foxy Lady for a bit and he was shredding. Good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brandass Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 Good to hear that he can still tear it up. I've been reluctant to shell out the clams for his shows, but maybe next time around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members H.R. Shove and Stuff Posted August 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2014 The price was a little steep, but for the venue and performance, I didn't have a problem shelling out. He didn't exactly hop around the stage or any antics, but the playing was top notch, very tight. I wasn't around when any of the Beatles or individuals were doing their stuff, so it was great to be able to see at least one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted August 18, 2014 Members Share Posted August 18, 2014 I got to see him a couple of years ago. It was really late in the fall and it was cold out that night but it was still a good show. Did he play that tune with the electric Ukulele? I remember that one having a cool beat to it.

Members goodhonk Posted August 18, 2014 Members Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think he played "something" with a ukulele when I saw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I've seen him live twice - once with Wings, once on the Flowers In The Dirt tour... and he was exceptional both times. Yes, a Macca show can cost some pretty big bucks, but how often do you get to see a living legend who still "has it"? It was well worth the money IMHO. It's really cool that he was able to do the very last show at Candlestick Park. I'm glad you got to see him Matt, and that it was a good show.

Members AJ6stringsting Posted September 10, 2014 Members Share Posted September 10, 2014 I seen him in L.A. ,in 1976, on the Wings Over America tour. One thing, I think my 6 year old Daughter has a crush on him. We were watching a 1976 concert in Seattle on Youtube .... it crashed and my Daughter threw a wobbler ..... as the Brits say !!!!

Members macadood Posted September 12, 2014 Members Share Posted September 12, 2014 maca reporting in on a macca thread. Seen him twice, both times killed it. Once at an outdoor musc festival type thing he was headlining in beautiful Halifax a few summers ago and once at the ACC in toronto. The outdoor one was magical. Started with Drive My Car i think and tore it up for almost 3 hours, couple encores, the bagpipe regiment from Halifax came out and did Mull of Kintyre. Love his band too. Drummer is a beast and I like the other two guitar dudes. Jammed foxy lady as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riff ie Posted September 13, 2014 Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 Glad to hear Sir Paul is still killin' it...Saw him in 1990 Cal Bear Stadium / Memorial Stadium-Berkeley, Ca. on the Paul McCartney World Tour tour / Flowers in the Dirt, and it's by far one of the most memorable events ever in all my puff...
