That was a fine review, Tone! Your enthusiasm came across as if you actually were there! I've done a 180 degree turnaround on Paul live. I now agree that it's all about celebrating a pretty remarkable life, both creatively and historically and not about the quality of his voice. All I've had the chance to hear so far is Now And Then, and was definitely pleased with it. His voice has been much better since Glastonbury and yes, usually it takes him several gigs at the beginning of a tour to get his voice strong enough to not get slammed by the average person. Great that he came out of the gate mostly strong. You definitely hit on something that some people just don't understand: Linda was his life mate and was taken from him way too early. He is now singing these songs that she inspired and contributed to all these years down the road. It's got to be an emotional experience for Paul to have to basically be the last one standing and doing a 3 hour show basically paying tribute to so many loved ones and former band mates that are no longer here, especially when the rear projection videos are there as a constant reminder. Fingers crossed for a Lennon One To One set and a nicely refurbished Concert For Bangla Desh. Maybe Peter Jackson can use AI to get Ringo to remember the words to It Don't Come Easy 😉
Thanks very much Pete, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes his voice is definitely holding up better since Glastonbury. I honestly cant believe that at 82 years old he flying half way across the world and plays 3 hours singing and playing is heart out. Im 21 years younger and doubt I could even stand up straight for 3 hours ! It must be a toll on him physically and emotionally. haha re Ringo comment , imagine how many words he forgot in the performance that they didnt use !
Paul never gave up hope on Now And Then and for him to do it live must be very rewarding, paying respect to his dear friend, he sounded great to my ears at least.
Hi Tone, as I told you I was there, on the Estadio Centenario, where the first World Cup was played in 1930, on sound check and concert, with my wife, after cancer operation this was a great "happy day" for me and I'll never forget. The sound was amazing, some sound people said it was one of the finest gigs the way it sounded. Paul was in great mood, very happy, very emotional with the crowd, and he sang for the first time ever "Now and There", here in Montevideo, the reviews were super positive. It's true the voice is not the same as on "One hand clapping" but 50 years passed, and he still give us the feeling, the emotion, all that he always gave to all of us. This was the "last dance" for me seeing him, and he gave me a lot of hope for the future when at the end he said as always "till the next time". Thanks Paul you're family to me, I love you.
Yes I do remember Daniel, and I was hoping you pop up on this video and tell us about it. The sound really did seem to be exceptional on the videos Ive seen. So great that after your ordeal you got see this and the soundcheck. I did wonder if this was the same venue as the 1930 World Cup final Uruguay v Argentina, right. It seemed like a real special night and I'm glad you had such a fantastic night. I hope he comes back to Uruguay soon my friend
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hi Tone, thank you for your very kind answer. It was a special night for me and for all the people that was here, you did a great review just watching videos, but it was like you were here. The feeling as you said, to be in the same venue, breathing the same air as Paul is breathtaking, thanks for feeling the same and it's a pleasure to watch your videos.
@@danielfascioli7180 You're welcome Daniel and thank very much for your kind words too. Im glad my words resonated with you. I guess essentially, we all feel the same
We were there with my daughter, for the third time for us the stadium was plentiful with around 60.000 people. No words to describe what Paul is on stage, his energy, his charisma, his love for the public, it's all a fantastic blend that makes you feel magic is real. And of course, that special gift he gave us singing Now and then for the very first time and having chosen Montevideo for that memorable occasion. Excellent review, it seems like if you were 👌🙏
That was a great review I loved it. I’m glad the song now and then was added to his Setlist. and I love Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da it’s one of my favorite songs from my number one favorite album ever the white album actually gonna pick the white album is my number one favorite album ever not just the Beatles album either and I remember me and everyone else sang it back in 2016. I felt like I wasn’t Beatlemania in the way because when Paul McCartney did songs like love me do and all those early Beatles songs there was one girl that was screaming in which was great back in 2016 and when Paul McCartney asked us how many of you are from Portland Oregon and we all screamed that was before he did love me do and I remember back in 2002 when I first saw Paul McCartney live well actually I heard him live back in 2002 he did maybe I’m amazed that his voice was really good his voice was fantastic throughout the whole show and also the 2016 show as well and one of the songs I remember he did he did a really good acoustic version of you won’t see me although he sang it in a different key the original songs in the key of A major but he sang it a few steps down in the key of G major which worked. And that’s interesting that I’m looking Through You was not in the Setlist but I think he might struggle through that one now. my feeling is being a huge Beatles fan that I am I will be so glad to see Paul McCartney again it wouldn’t matter to me whether he could hit those notes are not his whole band is really amazing what an amazing band they are in Paul McCartney’s musicianship is wonderful. I think for those who like to pick on artist to lose their voice don’t quite understand what the artists are going through when you’ve sung many different songs live and you’re trying to hit all those notes. for those who have a problem with Paul McCartney‘s voice because he’s struggling they shouldn’t go you are absolutely right on that one.
Hi Tone. Nice video on Pauls recent South American appearances.Its terrific a man of his vintage continues to travel the world playing to many thousands. His energy levels are indeed remarkable. Yes his voice isnt what it once was. Im 65 and cant do a lotta things i could when i was 45. So, to anyone attending...go along and enjoy a genius...legend...a man of our times doing his thing for you. I've seen him 3 times...1979, 2008 and 2018 and shared those memorable evenings with people who mean so much to me. I saw earlier Matthew Streets latest and he too urges folk to go and enjoy being in the presence of a very special man.
Love the jumper Tone! I bought the exact same one second hand off ebay and it arrived the other day, bought it with the intention to wear it to the gig in December, we might end up matching! It'll be your 23rd gig and my 3rd, I'm coming for your record! Totally agree with you about people complaining about his voice. It didn't cross my mind for a second when I saw him last year whether or not his voice was spot on because for those 3 or so hours you're in the same room as him, it certainly sounds pretty perfect. Loved watching some clips from the first gig on this third leg of the tour, even got all teary during Now And Then which I didn't expect, just seeing the footage on the back screen was very emotional, and the timing to have him singing at the exact same time as himself on the screen was phenomenal! As per your question in the video, I am going to the 19th of December gig (😉) - although I am trying to see if any are going for the 18th as well! Just 77 days until the 19th, getting very excited!
It's a great hoodie Boyan isnt it. I love that it's got the flags on it.Im not sure if I'll be wearing it in December - it gets pretty hot in the 02 but might take it for after. No you dont really notice if he hits a couple of bum notes - in the words of the man himself - who cares ! Now and then was special but also really loved Maybe Im Amazed and Helter Skelter. See you in December buddy and good luck trying to get tickets for the 18th
All good stuff Tone Paul's concert sounds like it was a success thanks for all the updates on John and George and Now and Then sung by Sir Paul hopefully some news on Ringo as well soon his country album he sings country songs really good!!! Glad Paul's voice is pretty good ! Your looking great Tone and sounding energized! Glad you get to see Paul in London December! Thanks Tone for all the great information!
The man is 82 so that said he sounds good . i agree better than last part of the tour . I would love to hear “ No More Lonely Nights”. I think Paul could still handle that vocal . Great job ❤!
I'd love to hear him do that too. Im not sure if he could manage it now though. He never even did it on the 89/90 tour where he certainly could have done it. Great song though
Great update on the concert playlist - I agree, when you’re there and the volume of those songs and tracks are being pumped out by everyone in that band, you’re lost in the moment of enjoying the songs and the ‘live’ energy more than any serious critiquing of the actual performance.
Hi Tone! I hope I have 1/2 that energy when I get to Paul's age. I consider him doing concerts as pure amazement. He's 82 and does all this year after year- it's amazing. Cool news about the Concert for Bangla Desh. Nice and fun video. You and the Two Legs streams are my GO-TO for Beatles/Solo related info- thanks for posting!
You're welcome Jeff. I'd just be glad to make it to 82 and sod the energy lol. The man is an amazing freak of nature and it's so great that he is. Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and the channel my friend
Thanks for another great video Tone. Wow, I can’t believe it’s a year since the Australian tour. This review brought back great memories. There were rumours he would play Now and Then in Sydney but of course he didn’t so I’m a bit jealous that you will likely get to see it in December. Can’t believe he’s persisting with Come On To Me over anything from McCartney III. I agree with everything you said about his voice, and how little the loss of power matters in the moment. That said, sitting in a cinema last weekend watching One Hand Clapping, the contrast in performances of Maybe I’m Amazed and 1985 do became starkly evident. I wonder what the Lennon news will be. Something One To One related maybe? Have terrific weekend mate. Must be cooling down over there now cos the sun is starting to shine here .
You're welcome Jason. Yes a year already - unbelievable! The set list - I would like to have seen a few changes but it is what it is I guess and we should just be grateful that he is still out there able to do 3 hours. I have a feeling the Lennon news might something else Mind Games related as I remember Sean saying there would be more to come later in the year but im just guessing as I cant think what MG release could possibly be left to put out. You have a great weekend too, yes it's getting pretty cold here already, but dont worry , you enjoy the sunshine mate :-)
It was a pleasant surprise for me to see Paul sing Now and Then! I have seen Paul McCartney 7 times more or less but I am slightly jealous that you have seen him so many times. I am glad to hear there is a hint of the concert for Bangladesh being remastered by Peter Jackson! Let’s hope it involves both shows.
Well i’ve been going since 1979 James so the number of shows racks up but 7 times is not be sniffed at is it. Also hoping for both shows for Bangla desh but im guessing tjis will only be the case if there’s a physical media release
Hello Tone, loved hearing about Paul's concert. Have not seen any of the videos except the Now and Then clip. So surprised they he chose to include that and it certainly brings a tear when I hear it, glad he did not cut the I've Got a Feeling one, that's fantastic as well. Know you will be counting down the days until you can see him once again. So long overdue for the UK shows. Looking forward to the John birthday surprise, we need to keep things rolling. You are looking good Tone, enjoyed the video. Take care!
Hi Sharon, yes it must have been an amazing moment at the gig when they played Now & Then. Yes it seems like ages since he was last here 2018, I think, and I'm pretty sure I didnt go to any of the gigs that year. So yes I cant wait - we have great seats. Also looking forward to John's surprise although I have no idea what it is. Thanks Sharon, Im feeling really well right now - glad you enjoyed the video and have a great weekend my friend.
Another great video Tone! The excitement is really building now for the live shows. I’m going to the O2 on 19th December and can’t wait for ‘Now and Then’ and I’ve Got a Feeling’ , it’s going to be emotional! All the best!
Thank you Tone, very nice review. I haven’t seen Paul once and you have been to see him many times, so thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of Paul and the Beatles with us, really appreciate it! 19th, Yay!
Ive never had a problem with an older Paul voice . For me though since Glastonbury onwards his voice has sounded a lot stronger . he sounds superb on Now and Then . So glad he's doing it :) Hope you doing well Tone.
You're right and done a great review. On a Paul show now, if you stick to the technique you'll miss the most importsnt thing - the magic. I'm eager to enjoy the October 15 show at São Paulo - my second Got Back show!
I’m really happy to see he’s doing Now and Then, I thought maybe he wouldn’t perform it as he didn’t do it last year after it came out and hasn’t done Free as a Bird and Real Love live before. I’d like to see some Back To The Egg in his set, perhaps Arrow Through Me… Got my fingers crossed I get to see him one day 🤞
Hi Tone... Totally agree with your take on Paul's concert voice. In the magic of the actual moment, just seeing and hearing the legend himself perform these songs, his voice is fine. He may not have the range that he had 60 years ago, but he still sounds like Paul McCartney, and the band recreate the songs brilliantly. And yes, there are tons of songs in Paul's catalog better than "Come On To Me" -- I can think of at least a dozen on just Egypt Station and McCartney III that I'd rather hear. ("Deep Down" with a live horn section and Abe on drums would absolutely kill.) Enjoy the show in December. I'm sure it'll be fantastic.
Thank you my friend , great to be back. No idea what the news will be but you could be right. At the moment it's just a very strong rumour that there will news on the 9th. I will be all over it when it comes no worries
Thanks Tone for the concert review, amazing to think of an 82 year old man putting on a concert like he does for three hours. Great that he did Now and Then. Take care mate.
You're welcome James, glad you enjoyed the video. I think Paul is a freak of nature mate. I'd just like to be around when Im 82, let alone play a series of 3 hour gigs :-)
Great review Tone! Paul's voice is what it is these days and there's no getting away from it. Sometimes he still sounds great, but gradually and increasingly, more and more songs are becoming a struggle. But his charisma, stage presence and musicianship are as great as they have always been! I'm surprised that there was no John vocal/duet in 'Now And Then' though, but Paul seemed to handle it pretty well on his own. I'm looking forward to the Concert For Bangladesh. Like everyone else I have 2005 DVD edition with the brilliant documentary, but I'm very intrigued as to what Peter Jackson will do ...
Hi James , I actually think his voice has improved since the US leg of Got back - he was very shaky on that tour. Maybe because of the covid enforced long break. Also looking forward to the PJ version of Bangla Desh - should be great
Great content! Very good coverage of Pauls tour set list, I must see some more of that on RUclips. Very exited to hear about the restored Concert for Bangla Desh, and also the rumor from Lennon camp although we don't know what it is - it could be something good. I would love to go see Paul again, but to be realistic: it probably won't happen
Thanks very much Lars, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes we are being really spoilt this year with stuff coming out. I hope you do get to see Paul sometime. I cant remember which part of Scandinavia you are from, but I saw him in Stockholm in 2015
Great review Tone, I'll be seeing him (3rd time) in Manchester this December (14th).. really looking forward to it.. Never heard him do In Spite of All the Danger live before, so that'll be a first.. (Hope your treatment is going well, you're looking great)
Thanks very much Stuart - appreciate that comment very much. keep watching buddy - lots more to come from me. I have a list of videos to make that will take me up to xmas at the moment and it seems to be ever growing
Fantastic effort Frank, you're 7 (soon to be 8) ahead of me and I started in 1979, You've done that in double quick time. Seems there's a lot of us gonna be at the 02 on the the 19th - I might organise a meet up
Great video Tone, excellent review. Agree with songs you would have included, Yesterday in particular. Looking forward to Manchester, December 15th, 45 years and one day since I first saw him at Newcastle City Hall, please release this tour on vinyl by the way. Keep up the good work Tone and good to see you looking well.
All the comments on videos from the last few years about how sad it is to hear his shot voice are quite comical and a tired old cliché. He's 82 years old and can still sell out large venues and have the audience rocking and weeping with emotion in equal measure. Even the younger audience (some look like teenagers) are absolutely transfixed. He's not living on past glory. He knows exactly who he is, how he sounds and what he's doing, and when he can't do it he'll stop.
Great news about Concert for Bangladesh. Intriguing about John, maybe it will be Mind Games on Claret & Blue vinyl!! Keep us both happy. I woukd Macca to write a new album, but...of duets, working with his contacts like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Chris Martin, Ringo, the list goes on. I imagine he could come up with some great songs and knowing others could handle harder vocal parts, he could write without restriction, I think he has of late. I am probably in an audience of one here, but I imagine something bloody amazing. Great work Tone, as always.
Great win for the Villa the other night. Claret and blue vinyl, to quote the man himself - that would be something. Interesting idea of duets album - I wouldn't put it past him. Thanks very much Rich - glad you enjoyed the video
Enjoy your show in December, Tone. I've retired from concerts, so I'm fine with my 1976 Seattle Kingdome memories and the Rockshow Blu-ray (and really, could I do better than that anyway?).
No Stephen, I guess not. That is the Rock Show gig right?. I would have loved to have seen one of the gigs on that tour but I was a tad too young. What a set list though !
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Some of the Rockshow footage is from Seattle. I think the rest is from Los Angeles and NYC. I know one of the shots at the end where Paul throws a green frisbee into the audience is from Seattle. BTW, my first rock concert was George Harrison in Seattle as well. Those are my only two Beatle concerts though.
I am a hard core Paul fan but still haven’t seen him play Yesterday because my only chance to see him was 2018 and he didn’t have it in the setlist back then. Beatles are just Beatles, but I agree I would love some Wings and Silo songs especially
Yes probably a bit presumptuous of me to suggest that all hard-core fans have been going to gigs for decades - sorry about that. I think we all share your wish for more Wings and Solo stuff to be included
TONE!!! Lovely to see back on schedule with new videos. You’re looking great! As I watched Andy and Tom, with Joan, I asked about the Archive Edition page in the official program book. They said it would be addressed later, but I guess I got distracted or they didn’t get to it. So, my friend, has anyone said anything to you about whether or not that Archive page was removed, or updated, or whatever? I need to know 😢 As for the tour; honestly, I’ve never seen Paul in concert in my life. Even this trust fund girl just won’t spend $1000 to see anyone in concert. I’d rather see the concert film or concert vinyl. But I’m very happy you and “the gang” experienced MACCA tours. Stay well Tone. ❤ - Julia
Hi Julia, I didnt manage to catch 'the legs' live but I saw it on catch up and saw your question and was also looking forward to hearing Joan's answer but hey, we'll have to wait. I have no further news on that. Oh Julia you have to go if he comes to the States next year. You can get tickets for much less that $1k if you're quick. I hope you manage it - you'll love it. thanks very much, Im feeling very well right now.
Hi Julia, Tom has confirmed that the Archive page is still in the tour book but he couldnt confirm whether anything else in the new tour book had changed. Without that info we cant be sure that the current tour book isnt simply a reprint of the Leg 2 tour book and therefore we have no further clues . Hopefully some one will confirm that something new is also in the new book which gives us hope that the archives are still alive
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I heard Joan mention something like a new badge, or card, something, I don’t know. We can assume that merch and other things were updated, as well as a new print run for the tour programs, so I’m going to think positive about new archive boxes since it’s still part of the tour program. 🤞😉 Thanks for the info Tone!
At glastonbury something was on with his voice. He sounded insane and I don't think he's going to be able to do a better concert any time soon. Latest concert was good though
Hi Tone's Hope you are well I will see him in 2 weeks here in Brazil. For sure this will be very emotional even that I think Paul could change the set list but that's OK. He is the man. Let's enjoy All the best
Hiya Tone, there's a clip of Paul doing now and then on RUclips,not sure if you have seen it or not, it will be great if Peter Jackson is doing something with the concert for Bangladesh, as for John, well who knows what comes out around his birthday, well done Tone, keep up the good work, cheers, Dave 😊
Hi Dave, yeah Ive seen it - great isnt it. Well according to Dhani Harrison on the radio this morning , Bangla Desh is nailed on happening. Have a great weekend buddy (hope you're not working)
Thanks for the indepth setlist review. I was waiting for the mrs knock on the door with love from yoko and sean...playing mind games again. BTW although we disagree about piggies we are in lockstep about ohblah di...hahaha indeed We are blessed to see both living members still playing live...if only the other 2 made it
You're welcome Russ, glad you enjoyed the video. We are blessed indeed and long may it continue - although Ive never been to a Ringo gig as he never plays here. I did see him play with George though in 1992 - George's only full solo gig in the UK - Ringo came on for the encore and did While my Guitar and Roll Over Beethoven
Hi Tony how are you getting a long mate!!!! LOL I am doing the same thing as you are doing . Watching it on Line!!!! I did enjoy you talking about Paul live and I did see him win he was here in the US :)!!!! mmm John ?? :). Wow a now BD one $$$ lol right.. Great one mate cheers!!!!
Im doing good thanks Brad, feeling good right now. Glad you enjoyed the video. BD I think is just the film so hopefully not too expensive if it gets a blu-ray release. I think it will be streamed too. have a great weekend buddy and hope you're drying out
Time will tell it all :). + this weekend there is a big Beatles fest and I am going to go to it !!! And yes lots of video lol too!!!! See you soooooon :). Cheers mate!!!!!
His tour it's got three legs and it looks like a splendid time is guaranteed for all who are going to see him. Fair play to his Fabness, he along with his peers like Jagger and Dylan are still up there wowing the fans from the stage, respect to them all, and sure his voice is not what it once was, whose would at that age. I'd hate for him to do Long Tall Sally in a lower key now which would probably make him sound like Pat Boone. But he's still out there and for that he has my respect. All good news from the John and George camps. I'll be in Central Park on oct 9th, if I hear anything Tone whilst I'm there I'll let you know, look upon me as your New York correspondent. Guess I'd best "Get Back" to my packing......
Yeah spot on Terry. Looking forward to hearing about your trip mate. Dont forget to end your news report with ‘This is Terry Mann for Beatley Tone News in New York City’ 😂
I totally agree Stuart. The BBC own the rights to Glastonbury gigs. When I did my own review of the gig , they blocked me using clips in my video that I had just recorded by filming what was on my TV ! Bowie's 2000 Glastonbury show got released a few years ago so there is hope but I hope we dont have to wait that long
You could do without "In Spite of All the Danger"? What's next - are you going to dismiss "Three Cool Cats" as fluff?😂. Loved this secondhand review Tone, you made the show come alive for us... To all the knockers, it's Paul Bloody McCartney so get over yourselves; to be there is to be in the presence of true genius.
Haha Rob. It’s like those who on the 10 Questions video said they would get rid of Piggies from the White Album - what they need is a damn good whacking!😂 glad you enjoyed the video mate and yes , spot on , when you’re in presence of genius, nothing else matters
Hey, i resemble that remark. I never really liked piggies from first deep listens in 1976/77. Georges 3 others are stellar! Love ya, Tone!@beatleytonesbeatleschannel
Tone i hope mccartney is going to release a dvd of his ..got back tour.. i know I've got Glastonbury on my hard drive, but it will nice to buy one from the shops for those who can't attend the gigs. I know watching the concert on RUclips is second best, but us beatle people would love a decent copy its been a while sinc macca released a live dvd b,f,n, Charles
I dont know if it's for an official release but the gig last night was definitely filmed - I saw the camera boom in a few videos I watched. Seems hopeful Charles
I share your disdain for “Come on to Me.” “Fuh You” is even worse. Did he finally drop that one at least? I’m bloody tired of “Let Me Roll” which I don’t care for as much as most people seem to. On a more positive note… “I’m glad he’s doing “Now and Then.” Fab!
There might be a documentary coming out I don’t know when I was watching the vinyl rewind with the vinyl geek and he was mentioning that there would be a documentary from Elton John called never too late which talks about his friendship with John Lennon I’m not sure if that is the announcement but whatever it is I think it’s going to be very exciting nonetheless. I can’t believe it’s almost his birthday October 9.
I'm going to the Paris show. It would be marvellous if he would play "Cafe on the left bank"... but I guess that would even happen in a thousands of blue moons... "London town" in London and "Left bank" in Paris.... maybe in a parallel universe. 😊
I'm seeing Paul at the first London show on December 18th and it will be my 14th time. I was due to see the European tour in Lille, France in 2020 but of course we all know what happened then. :) Once I'm at the show I will have a good time, despite the stale setlist, but the question in my head will be "will this be the last time seeing him?" I have promised myself, and Andy Nicholes said the same, any big Liverpool show and I will be up for that as it's likely to be Paul's last hurrah live!
I agree the set list is a bit stale in places but when you look at the list of songs - what a list ! We have both seen him play these songs many times which is what gets frustrating but it's still a Steller set list. I also really want to see him Liverpool. I nearly did a few years back. I found great seats at Anfield at a reasonable price on a tout site. I put them in my basket and at the check out the tout added £100 admin fee per ticket !! That was taking the piss as far as I was concerned especially as there was no admin involved - I'd done everything ! On reflection I should have got off my high horse and taken them. Enjoy the gig on the 18th James
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I had good tickets for Anfield in 2008 but they were downgraded so VIP's could sit in that area, celebs etc. I returned my tickets because I so was angry they moved me from the side to the back because of famous people.
Hi Terry, I have a feeling this will be mind games related but I have no idea what it will be. Im just guessing because Sean said there will be more to come from Mind games later in the year so maybe this is it. If I could have a wishlist, I'd vote for Some Time in New York City ultimate mixes box set top of the pile, but I think that is unrealistic . More realistic would be a remix album of the one to one concerts and I'd be happy with that. What's on your wishlist?
That would be a great development if the went down that Some time in NYC route. We'll to the best of my knowledge and I remember it well, but Walls and Bridges is 50 this month. Whether they would recreate the original paper flaps on the cover I don't know. 😊 All the best Tone...a fantastic channel.
@@Terry-i7q Im pretty sure if Walls & Bridges was re-released they would do their best to re-create the original artwork. I dont think the will be it for the same reason it wont be STINYC - I doing think its realistic to get 2 box sets in 3 months - I guess you probably means just the LP but I think the LP version will come out when the W&B box set is ready - hopefully next year. Thanks very much Terry, Im glad you enjoy the channel
Hi Tone, thanks for the review, i have watched a few of the videos from South American and agree he sounds and looks great, if you're good enough age doesn't really matter i reckon. I tried to get tickets for the 02 in London but they were way too expensive, would it be wise to turn up at the 02 and buy a ticket off a tout, is that too risky, also if I did go to the 02 would i get close enough to maybe buy a progaramme or some merch, please advise
Hi Im not sure im going to much use here but I would be wary about buying a ticket from a tout. Obviously they will be really expensive but you can never be sure if you are buying the real thing or a fake. Mostly these will be real tickets but it's a risk to beware of just in case. Better to see if there are any fans selling tickets that have a spare (fans will have one maybe 2 tickets for sale rather than a wedge of tickets) or just have a look at the online tout sites and look at reviews to see if they are trustworthy and buy from then. Its been a while since I went to the )2 but from memory, the merch stall is in the foyer so if this hasnt changed you should be able to buy merch from the stall without having a ticket as tickets wont be checked until you approach the actual arena hall. I hope this helps a bit
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Thanks Tone, i share your concerns and I'd be nervous about buying a ticket tbh, when i tried to buy a ticket it was close to £400, can't justify that at Christmas time, might just pop down there for a t-shirt and a progarmme, one last question whilst you're here, do you think there will ever be the opportunity for Double Fantasy to get the deluxe box set treatment, i did read that the entire sessions were filmed but were possibly destroyed, would love to see them
@@Beatleray Yes I believe there will be double Fantasy Ultimate miix box set but not for a few years. it will probably include the Milk and honey songs as they were from the same sessions
Saw him at the o2 in 2011 and have VIP tickets for the Manchester 13th December gig.. don't know what the benefit of VIP tickets are to be honest, my brother bought them... anyone enlighten me on is? thanks
Also went to the O2 in 2011. Im doing VIP package this time. Main benefit is you will be somewhere in the first 8 rows for rhe show. You also get to go to the soundcheck where he and the band will play about an hour of songs that are not in the set for the main show. You’ll also get a bag of exclusive merch . Enjoy the show Paul
Why Im not going to his concerts anymore is not bc of the voice, but bc of the set list and the same jokes and stories being told. If you go to a concert you don’t want to know what the next song is gonna be, you want that exitement. But with Paul, all is arranged and directed. I don’t like it.
Well if there was no internet you probably would know exactly what the set list was going to be I guess. I also like that surprise but it's impossible these days. in the old days I never used to read the reviews in the music papers for gigs that I was going to go to. Im not sure what you mean by arranged and directed ? In what way?
Blows my mind that he'll do a second-rate Beatles B-side like She's a Woman but will never do one of his best songs ever, Daytime Nighttime Suffering or even an A-side like Take It Away. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
No you shouldn't Christopher. As I explained in the video the majority of the audience will not be hard core fans. How many of them would know an obscure b-side like Daytime Nighttime Suffering? You have to remember that the songs that we, the hard-core fans want, are not the same songs that the majority of the audience want to hear. trust me, Macca knows what he's doing...mostly
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I agree that most people who go to his concerts are utter philistines: "Ooo, I've never heard this song, therefore it must not be any good!" I agree that there are about five Beatles songs and about three Wings songs he HAS to play. My point is that the "fan" who is there for Hey Jude and the beer, probably would more likely recognize With a Little Luck, Silly Love Songs or Spies Like Us more than he would She's a Woman. I know Paul is not going to be Richard Thompson, always playing half of his new album at each tour, but I think he could find a better way of pleasing both the true fans and the casual fans.
@@christopherhahn6728 I never said they were philistines but if they are not hard core then the are paying their money to hear the big hitters and Paul will always play the percentage game with his set lists these days. he used to play half an album when he toured right up to 1993 with the Off the Ground stuff but not since. Personally I would 100% prefer to hear She's a Woman rather than Spies like Us 😂
Perhaps the Lennon announcement will be the wall and bridges box set is coming out same week as the Capitol album set and the Living in the material world set. 😉 Couldn’t agree more about the nonsense of the Paul should retire crowd. Give it a rest. He’s 82. We all hope he has plenty of years left but even if he lives to be 100, the touring will probably stop sooner than later. I am surprised he’s leaving come on to me in. I don’t even mind the song so much on the album but there are so so so many other songs he could do. We know one of his favorites is daytime nighttime suffering. He could substitute that and maybe people who don’t know that one would want to seek it out later. Like for you, now and then was a total surprise to me. And from the clip I saw, he added some unseen videos to the screen. I saw the she’s a woman clip and was surprised how good he sounded on it. It’s a hard vocal. He still does some tough vocal songs that he doesn’t have to. And back to back with got to get you into my life no less. I wouldn’t mind him dropping my Valentine but I guess he wants a song in there for Nancy since he’s singing maybe I’m amazed. Anyway…. Take care
I agree with everything you say here Michael, spot on mate. I think we could all come up with a different set list - which sounds like an idea for a video lol. Not sure what the Lennon announcement will be but not long to wait
Unfortunately when young, The Beatles, particularly PAUL, would take songs that require a strong yet loud vocals, similar to American Black performers of the day such as their idol Little Richard, and when you're in your 20s you can sing them probably into your 40s, but in Paul;s case, 60 years of singing at the top of his lungs is not something he can continue to do. Of the 4, the one that always sang at a comfortable pitch was Ringo, which is why he can still sing "Yellow Submarine" without much effort, plus with the All Starr Band, he only has to front maybe 25% of the show, and not 50% with The Beatles, or 95% when solo or with Wings, as Paul did. Same thing happened to Paul Stanley of KISS, in which he sang 70% of the songs, and Gene Simmons sang 20% and the other 2 the remaining 10%. Today Paul Stanley can't sing at all and Paul McCartney's ability has been seriously hampered. I think in a way this happens because no band ever thinks they're going to be recording and touring for the next 50 years. They all think (most are correct) that they'll last at most 10. So they compose and sing these songs in such a way that they demand a strong voice.
He's got a few good years of touring left in him yet. People should be calling for Frankie Valli to retire from live performances. That guy has absolutely been overtaken by his age sadly and is making a mockery of himself.
Paul should have retired from live performances around 2010. I still enjoy his studio albums though. But I really wish he had done what he had originally talked about and switched to writing for and producing others.
Well Im glad he hasnt retired and I guess the other couple of million people who bought tickets for all these stadium and arena shows that sold out in a hour are also glad. :-)
i saw a video of him singing Maybe i'm Amazed it sounded horrendous he really needs to drop that song its embarrasing now , there is a point where his stubborn refusal to accept he cant sing alot of the wings songs. i choose to remember him in his prime why you choose to spend hundreds of pounds of tickets to be in the moment nah!!
dont think you're listening properly mate. If you've ever been to one of his gigs (or any gig for that matter) you would understand what being in the moment means
Ive been a McCartney fan for 48 years, Ive all his albums (Solo & Beatles), I saw him live on his Back On The World & Good Evening tours but Im not going to delude myself into believing his voice is anything but terrible now. Ill remember him as he was thank you. I think he is ruining his legacy with these shows. Just because he is putting in the effort doesnt make it any better.
That's fine Gerard however when you see 2 million (or whatever it is) tickets sell out in under and hour for an entire tour of stadium gigs, I think we can safely say that no legacy has been ruined. there is a greater thirst to see him now, than there has ever been
Oh leave it out pal. Not 100% Lennon anyway, Ringo came up with title for a kick off. But generally your sillyness is irrelevant - he didnt write Something either or 20 flight rock. Like i said in the video people who can’t accept it for what is should stay at home and listen to the records and in your case you can skip all the McCartney tracks as you’re clearly a hater.
That was a fine review, Tone! Your enthusiasm came across as if you actually were there! I've done a 180 degree turnaround on Paul live. I now agree that it's all about celebrating a pretty remarkable life, both creatively and historically and not about the quality of his voice. All I've had the chance to hear so far is Now And Then, and was definitely pleased with it. His voice has been much better since Glastonbury and yes, usually it takes him several gigs at the beginning of a tour to get his voice strong enough to not get slammed by the average person. Great that he came out of the gate mostly strong. You definitely hit on something that some people just don't understand: Linda was his life mate and was taken from him way too early. He is now singing these songs that she inspired and contributed to all these years down the road. It's got to be an emotional experience for Paul to have to basically be the last one standing and doing a 3 hour show basically paying tribute to so many loved ones and former band mates that are no longer here, especially when the rear projection videos are there as a constant reminder. Fingers crossed for a Lennon One To One set and a nicely refurbished Concert For Bangla Desh. Maybe Peter Jackson can use AI to get Ringo to remember the words to It Don't Come Easy 😉
Thanks very much Pete, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes his voice is definitely holding up better since Glastonbury. I honestly cant believe that at 82 years old he flying half way across the world and plays 3 hours singing and playing is heart out. Im 21 years younger and doubt I could even stand up straight for 3 hours ! It must be a toll on him physically and emotionally. haha re Ringo comment , imagine how many words he forgot in the performance that they didnt use !
Paul never gave up hope on Now And Then and for him to do it live must be very rewarding, paying respect to his dear friend, he sounded great to my ears at least.
Yes spot on mate
Hi Tone, as I told you I was there, on the Estadio Centenario, where the first World Cup was played in 1930, on sound check and concert, with my wife, after cancer operation this was a great "happy day" for me and I'll never forget. The sound was amazing, some sound people said it was one of the finest gigs the way it sounded. Paul was in great mood, very happy, very emotional with the crowd, and he sang for the first time ever "Now and There", here in Montevideo, the reviews were super positive. It's true the voice is not the same as on "One hand clapping" but 50 years passed, and he still give us the feeling, the emotion, all that he always gave to all of us. This was the "last dance" for me seeing him, and he gave me a lot of hope for the future when at the end he said as always "till the next time". Thanks Paul you're family to me, I love you.
Yes I do remember Daniel, and I was hoping you pop up on this video and tell us about it. The sound really did seem to be exceptional on the videos Ive seen. So great that after your ordeal you got see this and the soundcheck. I did wonder if this was the same venue as the 1930 World Cup final Uruguay v Argentina, right. It seemed like a real special night and I'm glad you had such a fantastic night. I hope he comes back to Uruguay soon my friend
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Hi Tone, thank you for your very kind answer. It was a special night for me and for all the people that was here, you did a great review just watching videos, but it was like you were here. The feeling as you said, to be in the same venue, breathing the same air as Paul is breathtaking, thanks for feeling the same and it's a pleasure to watch your videos.
@@danielfascioli7180 You're welcome Daniel and thank very much for your kind words too. Im glad my words resonated with you. I guess essentially, we all feel the same
We were there with my daughter, for the third time for us the stadium was plentiful with around 60.000 people. No words to describe what Paul is on stage, his energy, his charisma, his love for the public, it's all a fantastic blend that makes you feel magic is real. And of course, that special gift he gave us singing Now and then for the very first time and having chosen Montevideo for that memorable occasion. Excellent review, it seems like if you were 👌🙏
Yes it looked like a brilliant gig from what I've seen and a fantastic crowd too. I'm glad you had a great night my friend
That was a great review I loved it. I’m glad the song now and then was added to his Setlist. and I love Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da it’s one of my favorite songs from my number one favorite album ever the white album actually gonna pick the white album is my number one favorite album ever not just the Beatles album either and I remember me and everyone else sang it back in 2016. I felt like I wasn’t Beatlemania in the way because when Paul McCartney did songs like love me do and all those early Beatles songs there was one girl that was screaming in which was great back in 2016 and when Paul McCartney asked us how many of you are from Portland Oregon and we all screamed that was before he did love me do and I remember back in 2002 when I first saw Paul McCartney live well actually I heard him live back in 2002 he did maybe I’m amazed that his voice was really good his voice was fantastic throughout the whole show and also the 2016 show as well and one of the songs I remember he did he did a really good acoustic version of you won’t see me although he sang it in a different key the original songs in the key of A major but he sang it a few steps down in the key of G major which worked. And that’s interesting that I’m looking Through You was not in the Setlist but I think he might struggle through that one now. my feeling is being a huge Beatles fan that I am I will be so glad to see Paul McCartney again it wouldn’t matter to me whether he could hit those notes are not his whole band is really amazing what an amazing band they are in Paul McCartney’s musicianship is wonderful. I think for those who like to pick on artist to lose their voice don’t quite understand what the artists are going through when you’ve sung many different songs live and you’re trying to hit all those notes. for those who have a problem with Paul McCartney‘s voice because he’s struggling they shouldn’t go you are absolutely right on that one.
great memories shared there Jesse. I must be honest, I dont remember ever seeing him do you Wont See Me. Great song
Excellent review, Tony! Paul is the best!!
Thanks very much Larry. He really is
Hi Tone. Nice video on Pauls recent South American appearances.Its terrific a man of his vintage continues to travel the world playing to many thousands. His energy levels are indeed remarkable. Yes his voice isnt what it once was. Im 65 and cant do a lotta things i could when i was 45. So, to anyone attending...go along and enjoy a genius...legend...a man of our times doing his thing for you. I've seen him 3 times...1979, 2008 and 2018 and shared those memorable evenings with people who mean so much to me. I saw earlier Matthew Streets latest and he too urges folk to go and enjoy being in the presence of a very special man.
Thanks very much Jim, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes agree with all that - you got it absolutely spot on too
Love the jumper Tone! I bought the exact same one second hand off ebay and it arrived the other day, bought it with the intention to wear it to the gig in December, we might end up matching! It'll be your 23rd gig and my 3rd, I'm coming for your record!
Totally agree with you about people complaining about his voice. It didn't cross my mind for a second when I saw him last year whether or not his voice was spot on because for those 3 or so hours you're in the same room as him, it certainly sounds pretty perfect.
Loved watching some clips from the first gig on this third leg of the tour, even got all teary during Now And Then which I didn't expect, just seeing the footage on the back screen was very emotional, and the timing to have him singing at the exact same time as himself on the screen was phenomenal!
As per your question in the video, I am going to the 19th of December gig (😉) - although I am trying to see if any are going for the 18th as well! Just 77 days until the 19th, getting very excited!
It's a great hoodie Boyan isnt it. I love that it's got the flags on it.Im not sure if I'll be wearing it in December - it gets pretty hot in the 02 but might take it for after. No you dont really notice if he hits a couple of bum notes - in the words of the man himself - who cares !
Now and then was special but also really loved Maybe Im Amazed and Helter Skelter. See you in December buddy and good luck trying to get tickets for the 18th
All good stuff Tone Paul's concert sounds like it was a success thanks for all the updates on John and George and Now and Then sung by Sir Paul hopefully some news on Ringo as well soon his country album he sings country songs really good!!! Glad Paul's voice is pretty good ! Your looking great Tone and sounding energized! Glad you get to see Paul in London December! Thanks Tone for all the great information!
Hi John, you're welcome and yes a big success for Paul. Not heard anything yet on Ringo's album. Thnaks very much John, Im doing well and feel great
The man is 82 so that said he sounds good . i agree better than last part of the tour . I would love to hear “ No More Lonely Nights”. I think Paul could still handle that vocal . Great job ❤!
I'd love to hear him do that too. Im not sure if he could manage it now though. He never even did it on the 89/90 tour where he certainly could have done it. Great song though
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel One of his best ever vocals - a big ask , and I still love his voice
There is absolutely no way on earth Paul could manage that song now. It would completely finish him off .😂
Great update on the concert playlist - I agree, when you’re there and the volume of those songs and tracks are being pumped out by everyone in that band, you’re lost in the moment of enjoying the songs and the ‘live’ energy more than any serious critiquing of the actual performance.
Yes exactly this harry
Hi Tone! I hope I have 1/2 that energy when I get to Paul's age. I consider him doing concerts as pure amazement. He's 82 and does all this year after year- it's amazing. Cool news about the Concert for Bangla Desh. Nice and fun video. You and the Two Legs streams are my GO-TO for Beatles/Solo related info- thanks for posting!
You're welcome Jeff. I'd just be glad to make it to 82 and sod the energy lol. The man is an amazing freak of nature and it's so great that he is. Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and the channel my friend
Thanks for another great video Tone. Wow, I can’t believe it’s a year since the Australian tour. This review brought back great memories. There were rumours he would play Now and Then in Sydney but of course he didn’t so I’m a bit jealous that you will likely get to see it in December.
Can’t believe he’s persisting with Come On To Me over anything from McCartney III.
I agree with everything you said about his voice, and how little the loss of power matters in the moment. That said, sitting in a cinema last weekend watching One Hand Clapping, the contrast in performances of Maybe I’m Amazed and 1985 do became starkly evident.
I wonder what the Lennon news will be. Something One To One related maybe?
Have terrific weekend mate. Must be cooling down over there now cos the sun is starting to shine here .
You're welcome Jason. Yes a year already - unbelievable! The set list - I would like to have seen a few changes but it is what it is I guess and we should just be grateful that he is still out there able to do 3 hours. I have a feeling the Lennon news might something else Mind Games related as I remember Sean saying there would be more to come later in the year but im just guessing as I cant think what MG release could possibly be left to put out. You have a great weekend too, yes it's getting pretty cold here already, but dont worry , you enjoy the sunshine mate :-)
It was a pleasant surprise for me to see Paul sing Now and Then! I have seen Paul McCartney 7 times more or less but I am slightly jealous that you have seen him so many times. I am glad to hear there is a hint of the concert for Bangladesh being remastered by Peter Jackson! Let’s hope it involves both shows.
Well i’ve been going since 1979 James so the number of shows racks up but 7 times is not be sniffed at is it. Also hoping for both shows for Bangla desh but im guessing tjis will only be the case if there’s a physical media release
Hello Tone, loved hearing about Paul's concert. Have not seen any of the videos except the Now and Then clip. So surprised they he chose to include that and it certainly brings a tear when I hear it, glad he did not cut the I've Got a Feeling one, that's fantastic as well. Know you will be counting down the days until you can see him once again. So long overdue for the UK shows. Looking forward to the John birthday surprise, we need to keep things rolling. You are looking good Tone, enjoyed the video. Take care!
Hi Sharon, yes it must have been an amazing moment at the gig when they played Now & Then. Yes it seems like ages since he was last here 2018, I think, and I'm pretty sure I didnt go to any of the gigs that year. So yes I cant wait - we have great seats. Also looking forward to John's surprise although I have no idea what it is. Thanks Sharon, Im feeling really well right now - glad you enjoyed the video and have a great weekend my friend.
Another great video Tone! The excitement is really building now for the live shows. I’m going to the O2 on 19th December and can’t wait for ‘Now and Then’ and I’ve Got a Feeling’ , it’s going to be emotional! All the best!
Thanks Paul glad you enjoyed the video. It seems there are a few of us going to the 02 on the 19th. I might try and organise a meet up
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel That’s a great idea, it would be great to meet up!
@@paulcassidy953 will try and arrange something nearer the time
Thank you Tone, very nice review. I haven’t seen Paul once and you have been to see him many times, so thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of Paul and the Beatles with us, really appreciate it! 19th, Yay!
You are very welcome Gail and glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you get to see him some day as it's always such an amazing event
Ive never had a problem with an older Paul voice . For me though since Glastonbury onwards his voice has sounded a lot stronger . he sounds superb on Now and Then . So glad he's doing it :) Hope you doing well Tone.
I'm doing well thanks Stuart. Agree his voice has really got stronger since Glastonbury.
You're right and done a great review. On a Paul show now, if you stick to the technique you'll miss the most importsnt thing - the magic. I'm eager to enjoy the October 15 show at São Paulo - my second Got Back show!
Yes you're absolutely right. Glad you enjoyed the video and enjoy the São Paulo show. Only 11 days to go !
i went to that concert and it was really amazing
Fantastic. The bits i’ve looked and sounded utterly brilliant. Glad you had a great night
I’m really happy to see he’s doing Now and Then, I thought maybe he wouldn’t perform it as he didn’t do it last year after it came out and hasn’t done Free as a Bird and Real Love live before.
I’d like to see some Back To The Egg in his set, perhaps Arrow Through Me…
Got my fingers crossed I get to see him one day 🤞
Yes Now and Then was a real surprise Ronnie. I was lucky enough to see him do the BTTE stuff including Arrow Thru Me 4 times on the 1979 UK tour
Hi Tone... Totally agree with your take on Paul's concert voice. In the magic of the actual moment, just seeing and hearing the legend himself perform these songs, his voice is fine. He may not have the range that he had 60 years ago, but he still sounds like Paul McCartney, and the band recreate the songs brilliantly. And yes, there are tons of songs in Paul's catalog better than "Come On To Me" -- I can think of at least a dozen on just Egypt Station and McCartney III that I'd rather hear. ("Deep Down" with a live horn section and Abe on drums would absolutely kill.)
Enjoy the show in December. I'm sure it'll be fantastic.
Yes spot on mate well said. Will definitely enjoy the show thanks
Thanks Tone. I wonder if the JL news is a CD of the One On One concert to accompany the documentary. Great to have you back!!!
Thank you my friend , great to be back. No idea what the news will be but you could be right. At the moment it's just a very strong rumour that there will news on the 9th. I will be all over it when it comes no worries
Thanks Tone for the concert review, amazing to think of an 82 year old man putting on a concert like he does for three hours. Great that he did Now and Then. Take care mate.
You're welcome James, glad you enjoyed the video. I think Paul is a freak of nature mate. I'd just like to be around when Im 82, let alone play a series of 3 hour gigs :-)
Great review❤
Thank you
Great review, Tone. I wish I could have been there. Cheers 😎
You’re welcome buddy. Glad you enjoyed the video
What a fantastic video have a great weekend also happy first week of October ❤😊
@@aminahmed2220 thank you amin, same to you
Now And Then would be good live.
it will and it was :-)
Great review Tone!
Paul's voice is what it is these days and there's no getting away from it. Sometimes he still sounds great, but gradually and increasingly, more and more songs are becoming a struggle.
But his charisma, stage presence and musicianship are as great as they have always been!
I'm surprised that there was no John vocal/duet in 'Now And Then' though, but Paul seemed to handle it pretty well on his own.
I'm looking forward to the Concert For Bangladesh. Like everyone else I have 2005 DVD edition with the brilliant documentary, but I'm very intrigued as to what Peter Jackson will do ...
Hi James , I actually think his voice has improved since the US leg of Got back - he was very shaky on that tour. Maybe because of the covid enforced long break. Also looking forward to the PJ version of Bangla Desh - should be great
Great content! Very good coverage of Pauls tour set list, I must see some more of that on RUclips. Very exited to hear about the restored Concert for Bangla Desh, and also the rumor from Lennon camp although we don't know what it is - it could be something good.
I would love to go see Paul again, but to be realistic: it probably won't happen
Thanks very much Lars, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes we are being really spoilt this year with stuff coming out. I hope you do get to see Paul sometime. I cant remember which part of Scandinavia you are from, but I saw him in Stockholm in 2015
Great review Tone,
I'll be seeing him (3rd time) in Manchester this December (14th).. really looking forward to it..
Never heard him do In Spite of All the Danger live before, so that'll be a first..
(Hope your treatment is going well, you're looking great)
Fantastic . Have a fantastic 3rd gig in Manchester
Tone , you are my favourite Beatles RUclipsr - Love your thoughts on the gig . Please keep on doing what you're doing :)
Thanks very much Stuart - appreciate that comment very much. keep watching buddy - lots more to come from me. I have a list of videos to make that will take me up to xmas at the moment and it seems to be ever growing
I am going to both nights at the O2 and will be over 30 shows i have been to since first time i saw him in 1989!
Fantastic effort Frank, you're 7 (soon to be 8) ahead of me and I started in 1979, You've done that in double quick time. Seems there's a lot of us gonna be at the 02 on the the 19th - I might organise a meet up
Great video Tone, excellent review. Agree with songs you would have included, Yesterday in particular.
Looking forward to Manchester, December 15th, 45 years and one day since I first saw him at Newcastle City Hall, please release this tour on vinyl by the way.
Keep up the good work Tone and good to see you looking well.
Thanks very much Steve, glad you enjoyed the video and Im doing very well thanks . Enjoy the Manchester gig my friend
All the comments on videos from the last few years about how sad it is to hear his shot voice are quite comical and a tired old cliché. He's 82 years old and can still sell out large venues and have the audience rocking and weeping with emotion in equal measure. Even the younger audience (some look like teenagers) are absolutely transfixed. He's not living on past glory. He knows exactly who he is, how he sounds and what he's doing, and when he can't do it he'll stop.
Absolutely spot on mate . great comment
Great news about Concert for Bangladesh. Intriguing about John, maybe it will be Mind Games on Claret & Blue vinyl!! Keep us both happy.
I woukd Macca to write a new album, but...of duets, working with his contacts like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Chris Martin, Ringo, the list goes on. I imagine he could come up with some great songs and knowing others could handle harder vocal parts, he could write without restriction, I think he has of late. I am probably in an audience of one here, but I imagine something bloody amazing.
Great work Tone, as always.
Great win for the Villa the other night. Claret and blue vinyl, to quote the man himself - that would be something. Interesting idea of duets album - I wouldn't put it past him. Thanks very much Rich - glad you enjoyed the video
Never used to like Ob La Di - love it now ! Goes down well when I play it at gigs too !
Yes I think Im being a Beatles snob. Its a great song live for sure - everyone loves it
Enjoy your show in December, Tone. I've retired from concerts, so I'm fine with my 1976 Seattle Kingdome memories and the Rockshow Blu-ray (and really, could I do better than that anyway?).
No Stephen, I guess not. That is the Rock Show gig right?. I would have loved to have seen one of the gigs on that tour but I was a tad too young. What a set list though !
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Some of the Rockshow footage is from Seattle. I think the rest is from Los Angeles and NYC. I know one of the shots at the end where Paul throws a green frisbee into the audience is from Seattle. BTW, my first rock concert was George Harrison in Seattle as well. Those are my only two Beatle concerts though.
@@stephenrostkoski837 not a bad two to have under your belt Stephen !
Hi there, i see the 2 legs podcast has released a pic from the tour program, the archive set is still on lol, great review Tone take care.
yes Tom told me. thanks. Great news I think as long as its not just a reprint of the 2nd leg tour book - if its that, we're no closer to knowing
I am a hard core Paul fan but still haven’t seen him play Yesterday because my only chance to see him was 2018 and he didn’t have it in the setlist back then. Beatles are just Beatles, but I agree I would love some Wings and Silo songs especially
Yes probably a bit presumptuous of me to suggest that all hard-core fans have been going to gigs for decades - sorry about that. I think we all share your wish for more Wings and Solo stuff to be included
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Yes, I just wanted to mention it, no problem:)
TONE!!! Lovely to see back on schedule with new videos. You’re looking great!
As I watched Andy and Tom, with Joan, I asked about the Archive Edition page in the official program book. They said it would be addressed later, but I guess I got distracted or they didn’t get to it.
So, my friend, has anyone said anything to you about whether or not that Archive page was removed, or updated, or whatever? I need to know 😢
As for the tour; honestly, I’ve never seen Paul in concert in my life. Even this trust fund girl just won’t spend $1000 to see anyone in concert. I’d rather see the concert film or concert vinyl. But I’m very happy you and “the gang” experienced MACCA tours.
Stay well Tone. ❤ - Julia
Hi Julia, I didnt manage to catch 'the legs' live but I saw it on catch up and saw your question and was also looking forward to hearing Joan's answer but hey, we'll have to wait. I have no further news on that.
Oh Julia you have to go if he comes to the States next year. You can get tickets for much less that $1k if you're quick. I hope you manage it - you'll love it.
thanks very much, Im feeling very well right now.
Hi Julia, Tom has confirmed that the Archive page is still in the tour book but he couldnt confirm whether anything else in the new tour book had changed. Without that info we cant be sure that the current tour book isnt simply a reprint of the Leg 2 tour book and therefore we have no further clues . Hopefully some one will confirm that something new is also in the new book which gives us hope that the archives are still alive
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I heard Joan mention something like a new badge, or card, something, I don’t know. We can assume that merch and other things were updated, as well as a new print run for the tour programs, so I’m going to think positive about new archive boxes since it’s still part of the tour program. 🤞😉 Thanks for the info Tone!
@@juliahartley-barnes975 You're welcome Julia . yes let's say positive. Have a great weekend my friend
I thought his voice sounded better than most recent clips except for Glastonbury.
At glastonbury something was on with his voice. He sounded insane and I don't think he's going to be able to do a better concert any time soon. Latest concert was good though
yeah I would agree with that . Glastonbury was exceptional
We could do with 4K releases of the Beatles films. I believe the ‘Hard Day’s Night’ 4K is only available on American import.
Thanks for sharing
Very entertaining
Personally looking forward to the Beatles 2 singles being released Record Store Day Black Friday.
Cheers
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video
Hi Tone's
Hope you are well
I will see him in 2 weeks here in Brazil.
For sure this will be very emotional even that I think Paul could change the set list but that's OK. He is the man. Let's enjoy
All the best
Im doing well thanks Marcelo. Have a fantastic gig in Brazil. Which city are you seeing him in ?
Hiya Tone, there's a clip of Paul doing now and then on RUclips,not sure if you have seen it or not, it will be great if Peter Jackson is doing something with the concert for Bangladesh, as for John, well who knows what comes out around his birthday, well done Tone, keep up the good work, cheers, Dave 😊
Hi Dave, yeah Ive seen it - great isnt it. Well according to Dhani Harrison on the radio this morning , Bangla Desh is nailed on happening. Have a great weekend buddy (hope you're not working)
Thanks for the indepth setlist review. I was waiting for the mrs knock on the door with love from yoko and sean...playing mind games again.
BTW although we disagree about piggies we are in lockstep about ohblah di...hahaha indeed
We are blessed to see both living members still playing live...if only the other 2 made it
You're welcome Russ, glad you enjoyed the video. We are blessed indeed and long may it continue - although Ive never been to a Ringo gig as he never plays here. I did see him play with George though in 1992 - George's only full solo gig in the UK - Ringo came on for the encore and did While my Guitar and Roll Over Beethoven
Hi Tony how are you getting a long mate!!!! LOL I am doing the same thing as you are doing . Watching it on Line!!!! I did enjoy you talking about Paul live and I did see him win he was here in the US :)!!!! mmm John ?? :). Wow a now BD one $$$ lol right.. Great one mate cheers!!!!
Im doing good thanks Brad, feeling good right now. Glad you enjoyed the video. BD I think is just the film so hopefully not too expensive if it gets a blu-ray release. I think it will be streamed too. have a great weekend buddy and hope you're drying out
Time will tell it all :). + this weekend there is a big Beatles fest and I am going to go to it !!! And yes lots of video lol too!!!! See you soooooon :). Cheers mate!!!!!
@@beatlebrad5339 Enjoy mate
Thanks :). My video will be out this week!!!!
@@beatlebrad5339 look forward to it
His tour it's got three legs and it looks like a splendid time is guaranteed for all who are going to see him. Fair play to his Fabness, he along with his peers like Jagger and Dylan are still up there wowing the fans from the stage, respect to them all, and sure his voice is not what it once was, whose would at that age. I'd hate for him to do Long Tall Sally in a lower key now which would probably make him sound like Pat Boone. But he's still out there and for that he has my respect. All good news from the John and George camps. I'll be in Central Park on oct 9th, if I hear anything Tone whilst I'm there I'll let you know, look upon me as your New York correspondent. Guess I'd best "Get Back" to my packing......
Yeah spot on Terry. Looking forward to hearing about your trip mate. Dont forget to end your news report with ‘This is Terry Mann for Beatley Tone News in New York City’ 😂
Not sure why Glasto wasn't officially released . It's superb . I think a live album / Bluray is long overdue.
I totally agree Stuart. The BBC own the rights to Glastonbury gigs. When I did my own review of the gig , they blocked me using clips in my video that I had just recorded by filming what was on my TV ! Bowie's 2000 Glastonbury show got released a few years ago so there is hope but I hope we dont have to wait that long
You could do without "In Spite of All the Danger"? What's next - are you going to dismiss "Three Cool Cats" as fluff?😂. Loved this secondhand review Tone, you made the show come alive for us... To all the knockers, it's Paul Bloody McCartney so get over yourselves; to be there is to be in the presence of true genius.
Haha Rob. It’s like those who on the 10 Questions video said they would get rid of Piggies from the White Album - what they need is a damn good whacking!😂 glad you enjoyed the video mate and yes , spot on , when you’re in presence of genius, nothing else matters
Hey, i resemble that remark. I never really liked piggies from first deep listens in 1976/77. Georges 3 others are stellar! Love ya, Tone!@beatleytonesbeatleschannel

Tone i hope mccartney is going to release a dvd of his ..got back tour.. i know I've got Glastonbury on my hard drive, but it will nice to buy one from the shops for those who can't attend the gigs. I know watching the concert on RUclips is second best, but us beatle people would love a decent copy its been a while sinc macca released a live dvd b,f,n, Charles
I dont know if it's for an official release but the gig last night was definitely filmed - I saw the camera boom in a few videos I watched. Seems hopeful Charles
I share your disdain for “Come on to Me.” “Fuh You” is even worse. Did he finally drop that one at least? I’m bloody tired of “Let Me Roll” which I don’t care for as much as most people seem to. On a more positive note… “I’m glad he’s doing “Now and Then.” Fab!
yes Fuh you has gone and thank fuh for that
There might be a documentary coming out I don’t know when I was watching the vinyl rewind with the vinyl geek and he was mentioning that there would be a documentary from Elton John called never too late which talks about his friendship with John Lennon I’m not sure if that is the announcement but whatever it is I think it’s going to be very exciting nonetheless. I can’t believe it’s almost his birthday October 9.
Could be Jesse although Im guessing it will be something more from Mind Games
I'm going to the Paris show. It would be marvellous if he would play "Cafe on the left bank"... but I guess that would even happen in a thousands of blue moons... "London town" in London and "Left bank" in Paris.... maybe in a parallel universe. 😊
Oh man i love that song too. What a one/two hit for London Town. Like you say , no chance but enjoy the Paris show
Roll on 9th October.
I'm seeing Paul at the first London show on December 18th and it will be my 14th time. I was due to see the European tour in Lille, France in 2020 but of course we all know what happened then. :) Once I'm at the show I will have a good time, despite the stale setlist, but the question in my head will be "will this be the last time seeing him?" I have promised myself, and Andy Nicholes said the same, any big Liverpool show and I will be up for that as it's likely to be Paul's last hurrah live!
I agree the set list is a bit stale in places but when you look at the list of songs - what a list ! We have both seen him play these songs many times which is what gets frustrating but it's still a Steller set list. I also really want to see him Liverpool. I nearly did a few years back. I found great seats at Anfield at a reasonable price on a tout site. I put them in my basket and at the check out the tout added £100 admin fee per ticket !! That was taking the piss as far as I was concerned especially as there was no admin involved - I'd done everything ! On reflection I should have got off my high horse and taken them. Enjoy the gig on the 18th James
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I had good tickets for Anfield in 2008 but they were downgraded so VIP's could sit in that area, celebs etc. I returned my tickets because I so was angry they moved me from the side to the back because of famous people.
@@jamesboyce4000 How irritating. How can they even do that ?
I'm at the 19th December show too. I'll give you a wave and introduce myself if I see you!
Yes do, remind me nearer the time and we can have an arranged wave :-)
Bangladesh already looks / sounds pretty good I think ..
Should look even better after PJ has worked his magic
Tone, what would you like the Lennon announcement on Oct 9 to be about, if it comes to pass? Any wishlist?
Hi Terry, I have a feeling this will be mind games related but I have no idea what it will be. Im just guessing because Sean said there will be more to come from Mind games later in the year so maybe this is it. If I could have a wishlist, I'd vote for Some Time in New York City ultimate mixes box set top of the pile, but I think that is unrealistic . More realistic would be a remix album of the one to one concerts and I'd be happy with that. What's on your wishlist?
That would be a great development if the went down that Some time in NYC route. We'll to the best of my knowledge and I remember it well, but Walls and Bridges is 50 this month. Whether they would recreate the original paper flaps on the cover I don't know. 😊 All the best Tone...a fantastic channel.
@@Terry-i7q Im pretty sure if Walls & Bridges was re-released they would do their best to re-create the original artwork. I dont think the will be it for the same reason it wont be STINYC - I doing think its realistic to get 2 box sets in 3 months - I guess you probably means just the LP but I think the LP version will come out when the W&B box set is ready - hopefully next year. Thanks very much Terry, Im glad you enjoy the channel
Hi Tone, thanks for the review, i have watched a few of the videos from South American and agree he sounds and looks great, if you're good enough age doesn't really matter i reckon. I tried to get tickets for the 02 in London but they were way too expensive, would it be wise to turn up at the 02 and buy a ticket off a tout, is that too risky, also if I did go to the 02 would i get close enough to maybe buy a progaramme or some merch, please advise
Hi Im not sure im going to much use here but I would be wary about buying a ticket from a tout. Obviously they will be really expensive but you can never be sure if you are buying the real thing or a fake. Mostly these will be real tickets but it's a risk to beware of just in case. Better to see if there are any fans selling tickets that have a spare (fans will have one maybe 2 tickets for sale rather than a wedge of tickets) or just have a look at the online tout sites and look at reviews to see if they are trustworthy and buy from then.
Its been a while since I went to the )2 but from memory, the merch stall is in the foyer so if this hasnt changed you should be able to buy merch from the stall without having a ticket as tickets wont be checked until you approach the actual arena hall. I hope this helps a bit
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Thanks Tone, i share your concerns and I'd be nervous about buying a ticket tbh, when i tried to buy a ticket it was close to £400, can't justify that at Christmas time, might just pop down there for a t-shirt and a progarmme, one last question whilst you're here, do you think there will ever be the opportunity for Double Fantasy to get the deluxe box set treatment, i did read that the entire sessions were filmed but were possibly destroyed, would love to see them
@@Beatleray Yes I believe there will be double Fantasy Ultimate miix box set but not for a few years. it will probably include the Milk and honey songs as they were from the same sessions
I went to the one in Brazil the only thing wrong .yes he did 37 songs but he leaves out the second verse u have to pay attention or you'll miss it
of Now and Then?
I'm pretty certain you'll be getting Wonderful Christmas Time in December
Im pretty sure too
Saw him at the o2 in 2011 and have VIP tickets for the Manchester 13th December gig.. don't know what the benefit of VIP tickets are to be honest, my brother bought them... anyone enlighten me on is? thanks
Also went to the O2 in 2011. Im doing VIP package this time. Main benefit is you will be somewhere in the first 8 rows for rhe show. You also get to go to the soundcheck where he and the band will play about an hour of songs that are not in the set for the main show. You’ll also get a bag of exclusive merch . Enjoy the show Paul
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel Thanks for letting me know... Just to say your channel stands out from a lot of the others, good stuff, cheers
@@paulg2733 Yopu're welcome and thanks very much Paul
Why Im not going to his concerts anymore is not bc of the voice, but bc of the set list and the same jokes and stories being told. If you go to a concert you don’t want to know what the next song is gonna be, you want that exitement. But with Paul, all is arranged and directed. I don’t like it.
Well if there was no internet you probably would know exactly what the set list was going to be I guess. I also like that surprise but it's impossible these days. in the old days I never used to read the reviews in the music papers for gigs that I was going to go to. Im not sure what you mean by arranged and directed ? In what way?
Blows my mind that he'll do a second-rate Beatles B-side like She's a Woman but will never do one of his best songs ever, Daytime Nighttime Suffering or even an A-side like Take It Away. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
No you shouldn't Christopher. As I explained in the video the majority of the audience will not be hard core fans. How many of them would know an obscure b-side like Daytime Nighttime Suffering? You have to remember that the songs that we, the hard-core fans want, are not the same songs that the majority of the audience want to hear. trust me, Macca knows what he's doing...mostly
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I agree that most people who go to his concerts are utter philistines: "Ooo, I've never heard this song, therefore it must not be any good!" I agree that there are about five Beatles songs and about three Wings songs he HAS to play. My point is that the "fan" who is there for Hey Jude and the beer, probably would more likely recognize With a Little Luck, Silly Love Songs or Spies Like Us more than he would She's a Woman. I know Paul is not going to be Richard Thompson, always playing half of his new album at each tour, but I think he could find a better way of pleasing both the true fans and the casual fans.
@@christopherhahn6728 I never said they were philistines but if they are not hard core then the are paying their money to hear the big hitters and Paul will always play the percentage game with his set lists these days. he used to play half an album when he toured right up to 1993 with the Off the Ground stuff but not since. Personally I would 100% prefer to hear She's a Woman rather than Spies like Us 😂
Perhaps the Lennon announcement will be the wall and bridges box set is coming out same week as the Capitol album set and the Living in the material world set. 😉
Couldn’t agree more about the nonsense of the Paul should retire crowd. Give it a rest. He’s 82. We all hope he has plenty of years left but even if he lives to be 100, the touring will probably stop sooner than later. I am surprised he’s leaving come on to me in. I don’t even mind the song so much on the album but there are so so so many other songs he could do. We know one of his favorites is daytime nighttime suffering. He could substitute that and maybe people who don’t know that one would want to seek it out later. Like for you, now and then was a total surprise to me. And from the clip I saw, he added some unseen videos to the screen. I saw the she’s a woman clip and was surprised how good he sounded on it. It’s a hard vocal. He still does some tough vocal songs that he doesn’t have to. And back to back with got to get you into my life no less. I wouldn’t mind him dropping my Valentine but I guess he wants a song in there for Nancy since he’s singing maybe I’m amazed. Anyway…. Take care
I agree with everything you say here Michael, spot on mate. I think we could all come up with a different set list - which sounds like an idea for a video lol. Not sure what the Lennon announcement will be but not long to wait
Unfortunately when young, The Beatles, particularly PAUL, would take songs that require a strong yet loud vocals, similar to American Black performers of the day such as their idol Little Richard, and when you're in your 20s you can sing them probably into your 40s, but in Paul;s case, 60 years of singing at the top of his lungs is not something he can continue to do. Of the 4, the one that always sang at a comfortable pitch was Ringo, which is why he can still sing "Yellow Submarine" without much effort, plus with the All Starr Band, he only has to front maybe 25% of the show, and not 50% with The Beatles, or 95% when solo or with Wings, as Paul did. Same thing happened to Paul Stanley of KISS, in which he sang 70% of the songs, and Gene Simmons sang 20% and the other 2 the remaining 10%. Today Paul Stanley can't sing at all and Paul McCartney's ability has been seriously hampered. I think in a way this happens because no band ever thinks they're going to be recording and touring for the next 50 years. They all think (most are correct) that they'll last at most 10. So they compose and sing these songs in such a way that they demand a strong voice.
Yes and of course Ringo hasnt sung anywhere near the number of songs Paul has over the years so his voice is still in decent shape
He's got a few good years of touring left in him yet. People should be calling for Frankie Valli to retire from live performances. That guy has absolutely been overtaken by his age sadly and is making a mockery of himself.
Not seen anything of Frankie Valli to be honest. I doubt Paul will ever officially retire - there's no need for any kind of announcement
Paul should have retired from live performances around 2010. I still enjoy his studio albums though. But I really wish he had done what he had originally talked about and switched to writing for and producing others.
Well Im glad he hasnt retired and I guess the other couple of million people who bought tickets for all these stadium and arena shows that sold out in a hour are also glad. :-)
never again Peter Jackson this lunatic who spoliled the Get Back film the Beatles look there like plastic models not humans
Get a better TV
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel I have 75 OLED Samsung probably the best
i saw a video of him singing Maybe i'm Amazed it sounded horrendous he really needs to drop that song its embarrasing now , there is a point where his stubborn refusal to accept he cant sing alot of the wings songs. i choose to remember him in his prime why you choose to spend hundreds of pounds of tickets to be in the moment nah!!
dont think you're listening properly mate. If you've ever been to one of his gigs (or any gig for that matter) you would understand what being in the moment means
my opinion that he should retire simple as that and what about those ticket prices for manchester and london 300 plus pounds
Worth every penny Roy. This is the cost these days for any artist of this stature
Why ruin for all of us that want to go to his concerts . Don't be selfish .
Ive been a McCartney fan for 48 years, Ive all his albums (Solo & Beatles), I saw him live on his Back On The World & Good Evening tours but Im not going to delude myself into believing his voice is anything but terrible now. Ill remember him as he was thank you. I think he is ruining his legacy with these shows. Just because he is putting in the effort doesnt make it any better.
That's fine Gerard however when you see 2 million (or whatever it is) tickets sell out in under and hour for an entire tour of stadium gigs, I think we can safely say that no legacy has been ruined. there is a greater thirst to see him now, than there has ever been
A Hard Day's Night was 100% written by Lennon. WhyTF is he singing that? 'Let It Go'...yeah right, he needs to let it go.
Oh leave it out pal. Not 100% Lennon anyway, Ringo came up with title for a kick off. But generally your sillyness is irrelevant - he didnt write Something either or 20 flight rock. Like i said in the video people who can’t accept it for what is should stay at home and listen to the records and in your case you can skip all the McCartney tracks as you’re clearly a hater.
Why shouldn't he ?! If he wants to do a John song he can do it if he likes .
@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel well said
