Paul McCartney tribute concert coming March 15 at Carnegie Hall.

https://kslx.com/graham-nash-b…..e-concert/

Since none of us will be around to verify this…I say that the world will still be having tribute concerts for the music of McCartney and all the Beatles in the year 2323. Little kids will still be growing up singing Yellow Submarine and will progress into the Beatles canon. paul-mccartney-thumb_gif

I could not agree more @Ahhh Girl. By coincidence, my Grandson’s high school school band placed first in a festival at Disneyland last year. The prize is taking part in a Carnegie Hall concert, which is also scheduled for this March. a-hard-days-night-paul-5

Cool to see bassist Will Lee (from “Paul Shaffer and the World’s Most Dangerous Band”, house band for the David Letterman show) on the Band On The Run video.

Now today I find, you have changed your mind

I was fortunate to be there. My favorite – by far- was Sammy Rae’s rendition of Heart Of The Country . Her voice is fabulous. Alas, you can’t really tell from the video posted above. I’d never heard of her before

I listened to McCartney, Ram , and part of Wild Life while filling a raised garden bed with leaves and soil the other day. I must say, Paul’s early post-Beatles music is hands down the BEST yardwork/farm larping accompaniments. a-hard-days-night-paul-7paul-mccartney-thumb_gif

Everybody was talking about Taylor Swift and her boyfriend at the Superbowl 2024. But the true living legend who was was there wasnt mentioned much: Sir Paul McCartney . Looking healthy and fit! Its great how good he looks!

I have to say I really admire Paul’s strength and personal leadership after the breakup, doing the legal action against the other three because of Klein. Massive balls for Paul to do this in the face of that criticism. He wasn’t the bad guy and he did have their best interests at heart. John and Ringo admitted he was right. George didn’t comment about it, but I suspect he agreed too.

I’m seeing Paul and Ringo in the AARP Bulletin so often, maybe I should start a thread for it. LOL.

part of Jon Bon Jovi’s interview with the Bulletin…

Keep on inspiring others, Paul!

Lessons from a F—ing Beatle

Along with his vocal struggles, Bon Jovi has faced teh conundrum of how to age gracefully in a young person’s game. In this, he has some help…Another is Paul McCartney , who has, to Bon Jovi’s delight and astonishment, become a close friend. The rocker shows me a recent photo of the two of them eating and talking animatedly at a picnic table on Bon Jovi’s property in East Hampton, New York. “We do this all summer,” he says, his tone tinged with disbelief. “I’m sitting there with a f—ing Beatle. He comes to my house often. I go to his beach house often, and our wives are very close.” What most impresses him about Paul is the enthusiasm and love of songwriting that the Beatle still possesses. He slips into an imitation of McCartney’s Liverpool accent and childlike enthusiasm: ” ‘Oh, I’ve got new stuff!’ he tells me. At 81. Crazy.”

Being a pretty big fan of Phish and other jam bands who play a different setlist each night, I often hear comparisons to other bands that keep the same setlist for an entire tour. Particularly people will bring up the Baker’s Dozen, where Phish played 13 nights at MSG with no repeat songs. While thats wildly impressive and I’m not sure any other band could pull that off, I don’t hear anybody talking about Paul doing 50 years of shows, with repeats. Nearly 50 years of consistent solo touring – Let It Be , Hey Jude Yesterday , Maybe I’m Amazed , Band On The Run , played at virtually every show. That is almost more impressive to me. He is such a pro, not only playing them for so many years so many times, but delivering great performances, one after another into his 80s, particularly songs like Maybe I’m Amazed and Band On The Run which have insanely difficult vocal parts.
