Something I don't get about Knebworth 1990
-
Before 'Can't Buy Me Love' Paul greets the audience with a 'Good Morning!', and when 'Hey Jude' is played, it's nearly night. Did Paul do two sets during that charity concert (IMO the best ever of this kind).

I'm wondering if you are viewing a different performance of Can't Buy Me Love? At Knebworth, CBML was performed several songs after Hey Jude and at the end of the show, with HJ performed at dusk and CBML in darkness. The two songs have been spliced together here but if you scroll forward to 7:30, you'll hear Paul's intro to CBML and he doesn't say 'good morning' at all !!!

You are so right! I mixed my mind with 'Coming Up', still my question goes the same. He says 'Good Morning' at 0:28.
Thanks! -

Very strange, as its clearly in the evening. Maybe Paul was trying to be funny, in the same way as he and Hamish did their little 'Morecombe & Wise' routine onstage?

Very strange indeed. I've always wondered how long was the concert overall. There were a lot of artist performings and most of them did long sets (such as Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Tears For Fears, Plant & Page, Collins / Genesis and of course, Paul). It must have started very early until very late.

I think it would have ran from around mid-day to about 11pm.

I think it was shown on MTV , SO it wasnt live here in the US , So maybe Paul was kidding

I was there. It was all day.

A little something called humour?

I remember listening to the complete set on earphones on the bus. BBC Radio One were covering his whole set as a live broadcast. The thing I'll always remember is Paul hitting the high note on 'We Got Married' ('living for') as he did on the album. It was a hair on the back of the neck moment!! (On many performances he'd dodge attempting to sing it that way)

We had that broadcast here too. Live or taped I can't remember but it was a damn big deal back then. It was the first time I'd heard Hey Jude sung live. Blew me away...that and Birthday.

Please could one of the Mods fix the title of this thread? It's Knebworth 1990. And btw, it is available on DVD (I have it)

Perhaps this thread was started by an Italian?
