Ex-Beatle Still Rockin' Them: Paul McCartney-- Part 1

From the July 21, 2013, Chicago Tribune "Deconstructing Paul" by Mark Caro.

Mark Caro obviously knows his Beatles. He went to Paul McCartney's concert in Milwaukee and said he got to enjoy a marathon show from the 71-year-old Sir Paul. He kept a list of the songs and made comments. Of interest, McCartney played five songs which neither he or the Beatles have ever performed live.

My comments in parentheses.

1. EIGHT DAYS A WEEK-- Opener and never sung live before
2. JUNIOR'S FARM 3. ALL MY LOVING-- His voice still great, especially the falsettos. (I had heard him a few years back and his voice wasn't good.)
4. LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN SAID-- New-Orleans flavored. (I'd never thought of it as New Orleans before so will have to give it a listen.)

5. LET ME ROLL IT (with a Jimi Hendrix ""Foxy Lady" instrumental coda) "Band on the Run" track and McCartney concert staple keeps getting harder and heavier. (Perhaps Paul should have gotten that first Grammy for Heavy Metal.)

6. PAPERBACK WRITER.
