So it's a sign of anti-Paul bias when a critic makes the exact same complaints that lots of us on this board make all the time? :
__________________________________________________________ Bruce, It is true that here on this board I have often complained about the lack of creativity and variety in Paul's setlist. But I'm talking about me, a huge fan who has seen Paul 12 times from 1989 to about 2011 (my last time). Over the last few years however I have stated that I won't pay those kinds of ticket prices until there are significant changes in the setlist. I could have seen him in the Philadelphia and New York areas this year but declined. Not knocking Paul because I understand that the large majority of people seeing Paul these days are first or 2nd timers who want to hear a Beatle heavy setlist. I, however, have seen him do those songs many times. I'm still a big fan but this is just the way I feel. Conversely, this "review" is a whole different thing from my "personal" feeling about Paul's recent setlist or shows. The critic from Pitchfork right at the beginning began criticizing Paul's performance at the festival due to Paul's tired repetition of the same stories about various songs over his last few tours. His "routine" as the critic sarcastically puts it. This critic however is "assuming" that the majority in the audience have seen Paul multiple times over that time span. Since this was a unique festival with the likes of the Stones, Dylan, Neil Young, the Who, Roger Waters etc, I would bet that the majority of the audience may have never seen McCartney before. And many more maybe have only seen him once. For those people, these stories are not "tired" at all but indeed are very interesting and informative. It is one of the things that makes a McCartney show so special. He is very personal at his shows unlike a Mick Jagger that primarily plays the "rock God". Not knocking Mick or the Stones, but the stories does make Paul's shows unique. I don't criticize this critic for saying that Paul's voice isn't what it use to be because it isn't. That is fact. But he can't base ranking Paul's show dead "last" because the the audience is tired of Paul's same stories when he has no idea of just how many people in the audience have never heard most of them. Pretty lame in my opinion. Again I would bet that many in the audience have not heard most of these stories. I could also tell from his review that he isn't objective about Paul when he sarcastically says that Paul's set didn't even outperform Dylan. First of all, I like Bob Dylan a lot and secondly, I can bet that thousands in the audience loved Paul's performance. It is obvious to me that he doesn't like Paul. This doesn't bother me in the least however because the last time I will remember this reviewer is about the time I finish writing this reply.
Thanks! Enjoyed and agree with your response!!
Me too!
Me too! Forget that reviewer... It is obvious he has something against Paul...

You can watch later but not a lot later. I don't think they stay available for that long.
