Crikey, that's one hell of a set!

He seemed to be really enjoying the whole AD thing from the few words I picked up on during the F1.

Jesus christ, that's some list of songs.
He must still be pretty fit and active to bang out a whole long list like that.

i saw him at glasto one year - 2004? he has a lot of energy, but also comes across like your dad at karaoke.

[Asterix]

he did a bit, however, he's earnt the right to in my book.

For anyone, let alone a 69 year old, he looked in great shape. I guess his new wife is keeping him active.

What I liked about it as well that it was very much a band playing. Nice and simple.

He was excellent.
I'm not a huge McCartney fan and would never have paid to go and see him in concert, but he was the consumate professional last night, from the dedication to George in Arabic to the non-stop show, I really enjoyed the night and it capped off a great weekend.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and I've seen him in concert and going to again next month and he really puts on a excellent show. I recommend it to anyone, almost 3 hours worth of brilliant live music.

He's easily the most significant musician/writer of the 20th century.

No forgetting Lennon - the two of them were an excellent combination.

Writing wise, of the two, I prefer Lennon's stuff, he was nowhere near the musician that McCartney is, though.

Saw him at Hampden the other year, whilst I like a lot of The Beatles stuff, I'm not a great fan of his solo stuff, he did put on one of the best shows I've seen and was worth the price of the tickts. Wouuld reccomend seeing his gigs ro anyone.

No Mull of Kintyre?

more importantly, no frog chorus!

We were there for a fantastic weekend and although i have respected sir paul i have never seen him in concert , but i would certainly see him again.

It was simply so enjoyable to watch , and a million miles from the rubbish on the friday , although i loved incubus , fantastic voice.

Still in Dubai now , heading back friday night after watching the sundance festival on nissimi.

[traffman]
