What a gig! And ive saw a beatle live!!!! Hes as nimble on stage as any one, and doesnt show any ill effects of age. and he's cheeky as hell still! having a bit of banter with the folks in the front row, chatting and what not.

Awesome awesome gig. If you ever get a chance, go see him. He's one of the hardest working musicians i have ever saw, worth every penny! A living legend.

He is just the most talented musician on the planet. It is not like going to see some creaky nostalgia act as his voice is still amazing and he gives it everything he has. The reviews when he played Citi Field here in NY were just off the charts. It does not get better than Maca.

I saw him in concert on TV, and if memory serves, it was a New York concert. He was truly amazing! There were several interviews with him during the program that offered some great insight, of just how much he loves what he's doing in life. He really loves to serve people as best he can with his music. He is absolutely in a league all his own.

He is coming to Nashville but I would have to take out a second mortgage to afford the tickets. I'll pass.

Saw him last July on the Halifax Common. Fan-freakin'-tastic!!! We were lucky enough to be treated to rendition of "Mull of Kintyre" complete with a full pipe and drum band. It was the only North American concert where he played that. Being of Scottish heritage it brought tears to my eyes.

I saw him around 1990 or 91 on the Flowers in the Dirt tour at the Greek Theater in Berkeley (large outdoor venue, but I was 2nd row center). It was an amazing show including the back end of Abbey Road, with Paul trading lead guitar lines on his Les Paul with his guitar player. It was not until that moment I realized what a great guitar player he is ... an amazing show.

I would love to see him, but the tix are just getting too expensive.

BTW, that's the same reason I'll probably never fulfill my last "concert wish" which is to see the Stones before Kieth's luck runs out. :lol:

My wife and I saw Macca at Fenway Park last August. That man still has the pipes and his chops on guitar, bass and piano are still there. Interesting to see the set list - many songs are the same, but the order is very different.

Highly recommended concert if you can make it there. For me, the most powerful moment was Something, where he started out by explaining that the ukelele he was playing was given to him by George. The first verses were just Paul and the uke, and then the band slowly came in on the chorus, and when the guitar solo came about, the whole band crashed in, and the whole place just rumbled and vibrated the coolest vibe I'd ever heard. Very, very powerful stuff. If Fenway had had a roof, it would have ended up in the Atlantic Ocean right about then.

I don't know if Paul is the greatest musician on Earth as has been suggested in this thread, but that cat has some music in his veins, and it comes flowing out when he performs - no doubt about that.

We saw him in '05 and thought he put on a great show and had a great sounding band with him, especially Rusty on lead guitar!
