Customer Reviews for Paul McCartney
Filter
A dedicated, very talented man whom you can't help by admire.
I was young when the Beatles released their songs, but over the years, have appreciated the Masterpieces that have been recorded and written. As I have grown older, I can truly appreciate the talent of all the Beatles and how lucky am I to witness and experience a true legend performing live. May God Bless Him and thank you for letting me experience a legend live on stage.
Missed
I can't believe after the recent Gayle King story on the Queen's Jubilee, prominently featuring Paul, and his friendship with Her Majesty, that he didn't take the few seconds required to do the short ditty about how "Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, someday I'm gonna make her mine". I wondered if he thought, as Americans, we weren't that into the pageantry going on in the UK, over the weekend, but I think we would have appreciated the timeliness of the imaginative piece and would have enjoyed seeing him seize the opportunity to remind us of the lighthearted humor that the simple little recitation represents.
"Got Back" Great!
Paul McCartney -- backed by a monster team of musicians -- gave a three-hour performance at Orlando's Camping World Stadium that lifted the spirits of a capacity audience mired in the grief of recent mass shootings. The June 2016 loss of 49 of its own at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub is still fresh in Central Florida's memory and, as such, the senseless killings are especially soul shattering. Growing up in the 1960s, Paul was not my favorite Beatle. But his songwriting passes the test of time and, at age 80, what a showman he remains today! There was no opening act. No pause between songs, except for Sir Paul regaling the crowd with memories of his band mates and all the experiences they shared. We laughed, we cried, we gladly sang along to tunes that marked our own journeys through life... even those born long after the Beatles left the world stage. Weather reports predicted rain and lightning, but it was a perfect night, cool and otherworldly, with billowing clouds floating above the stage. At times -- especially during his poignant performance of "Let it Be" toward the end of the show -- the audience looked like fire flies with their cell phones all aglow. It was a beautiful, unforgettable moment and a much-needed reprieve from recent sorrows. It proves that if anything can heal hearts, it's music. John Lennon, during a falling out with his songwriting partner, once asked Paul, "How Do You Sleep At Night?" I would guess, just fine especially knowing how much happiness his songs, and the Beatles catalog, brings to people globally, especially these days when they need it most. Apart from all that, it would be nice if more people could afford the luxury of attending his concerts. A front-row center seat sold for as much as $8,000, nose-bleed section tickets were in the $100 range and the cheapest T-shirt was a Rodeo Drive-priced $45. Come on Paul! Surely you remember life before you were a billionaire? How much is enough? I will end by saying the experience he offered the crowd at Camping World Stadium was priceless. After three years of pandemic, wars, political chaos and an onslaught of apocalyptic events, the joy he gave was (almost) equal to the money he mad
Paul forever
Flew my 22 year old grandson down from KCMO to see Paul. It was magical to see his face and sing his songs. I feel I did a good job with him, knowing he knows the Beatles and Paul. It was a fabulous concert, no disappointment here. 22 or 80 he still has it.
Outstanding
Went with my daughter (25) and my son (30). Both of whom grew up with Beatles music as well as classic rock. I knew they’d appreciate his music, but was pleasantly surprised that they not only appreciated the music but that their love for it bloomed. That said, Paul McCartney was outstanding. The show was great, the music speaks for itself the pyrotechnics was thrilling. Kudos to Abe, (drummer) excellent work. I have never written a critique of any concert before but felt the need to write one now. As always some may question his age, That’s irrelevant, what counts is the performance. Paul McCartney delivers.
Great concert!
I had been wanting to see Paul McCartney for some years; I’m in my late 40s and a big Beatles and Paul McCartney fan. Last night, I was finally able to catch his performance in Los Angeles. My 14 year old son, who is more into hip hop and my girlfriend (casual fan) joined me. The concert began and we were off on our journey! The songs and sound were fantastic; I looked over and my son was bobbing his head and my girlfriend had a big smile, by the end of the show- we, along with everyone at Sofi stadium, were singing along with Paul. The show was beautiful. The set list (perfect mix of Beatles 60%, wings 30%, and solo 10%), and Paul’s wonderful storytelling, creat an absolutely beautiful narrative. We ALL left thinking it was the BEST concert we’ve ever been too.
