Location: North Texas | I saw a recent clip on the tube. He looks vintage, but he still sounds good. He was playing his old fiddle bass. |

Phenomenal show.
He's been a bit over-exposed as of late, and his current album's pretty inane.
I've been suffering from a bit of "McCartney Overload" lately.
If you've never seen him, and have the opportunity, he IS worth seeing. |

Location: SE Michigan | I saw Sir Paul in concert in 1989 at the Palace in Auburn Hills Michigan. Easily the best live show I have ever seen. Well worth the expense. |

I don't know, that "inane" album's been spending a good bit of time on my current play list and I think it's pretty good. Granted, it's nothing that's gonna set the world on fire, but I think even he realizes those days are pretty much behind him.
Still, I'd rather listen to artists like Sir Paul than 90% of the crap out there today passing for rock/pop music. Now, that stuff IS inane. |

| I saw him about 3 years ago and then about 10 days ago. It is a GREAT show. If he comes next year, I'll go again. He has great tunes (it must be amazing to have such a catalogue of songs from which to choose), from many different parts of his career. His band sounds great, harmonizes well, and kicks out a lot of energy. Sure, Paul's got quite the ego but he also has a love of performing and a respect for his audience that translates into a VERY memorable show. It is much more of an emotional experience, you can feel it from the crowd, than just about any show I can recall. You'll love it! |

Location: Southern California | I saw McCartney in '76 (awesome show), in '89 (awesome show), '91 (not so good, but I don't care for stadium gigs so don't know why I went in the first place). Sir Paul can be a bit of a pain when he pontificates on things outside of music, but he is a major, major showman who really connects with his audience, and the cutesy stuff he sometimes overdoes when recording is out the window... this guy knows how to rock! As to the current tour, the clips I've seen are awesome... go if you can(especially if you've never seen him before), but you may need to take out a second mortgage to get the tix, especially if from a scalper! (By passing on Paul this go 'round, I had the bux to buy my Ovation... it's all good!) |

Location: Omaha, NE | He came through Omaha a few weeks ago. Big bucks, big concert, big event here in town.
Kindof depressing, actually. They had a bunch of live news coverage of the crowd going in. Made me feel old. All the cute girls that were screaming in the front row in the 1960s are now 55 year old grandmothers.
Cheers!
