Paul McCartney Live 2009
on November 17, 2009
Posted by: BowieBoy99
from Los Angeles, CA
Living in L.A., I didn't have the opportunity to see Paul in New York at Citifield, but I did catch him at Coachella, and let me tell you, it was a once in a lifetime concert, not only for me and the audience, but for Paul as well. I mean, there he was, a Beatle, a living Beatle (!!!), Sir Paul McCartney, playful, inspired, having fun, and playing to an audience that was something different from his usual audience, in that it was tecnically an alt-rock audience. But from the first note to the last, it was special and heartfelt and all of us knew it and felt it. He looked good, sounded great and his band was top notch. The song selection at Coachella was quite similar to what he played at Citifield, so even though I didn't see the concert he played in New York, it was pretty darn close.
Folks, we are SO lucky that Paul is still with us. He's literally living history, a cultural icon, a living embodiment of that magical, musical rush that was the '60's. And at the same time, he's a continuation of the same great classic melodic songwriting we had in people like Cole Porter, who it turns out, Paul aspired to be the rock equivalent of (and who succeeded, as far as I'm concerned.)
As I write this, I'm one day away from the release date, and I can hardly wait. Looking over the song list, this will be a great overview of his career and musical output (though there is SO MUCH MORE to dig into!) For anyone who loves great songwriting and melodious, classic rock, this is your man, and this may well be one of the last best living modern documents of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Truly. Roll over, Beethoven, indeed!
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!
