Paul's voice is REALLY awful tonight, oh man! Plus the crowd not so good for a Latin audience, even Paul said a few songs ago: "you're very quiet"
I was just thinking as I'm watching that the crowd is very quiet compared to normal! Regarding his voice, it's been like that for the entire tour. If anything it sounds a little better on periscope. You're at the gig?
Read the local newspaper review and there is no mention of the quality of his voice and they made it sound like it was very enthusiastic crowd.
And the tour goes on and on!

This crowd is quiet by any standards never mind South American standards!
So different from the crowd here in Brazil, who received more shows than Argentina but is ''WOW'' in every song
Wait until Tuesday, meu amigo... Concert started very early, perhaps due to some kind of curfew. Stadium looked pretty full to me. Paul's voice was on the same level as on previous gigs, failing here, there and everywhere (pardon the pun) but when you're there singing along, it doesn't sound as bad as on periscope or youtube videos. Fool on the hill was pretty bad. Setlist was exactly the same as previous gigs with less banter between songs (no Hendrix story for example). Crowd was seated in front of the stage (unlike shows in Brazil) but once Paul hit the stage, everybody got up and rushed to the fence. It was a bit quiet at first, perhaps because of the cold, but then there'd be chanting between songs and the band would jam to those chantings and it was super cool. My pretty face was shown on TV singing along to songs I was told. The concerts on Tuesday and Thursday here in La Plata will be standing admission only in front of the stage so it should be a very noisy typical Argentinian crowd. Questions?

Sounds like a pretty standard 2016 show. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

Yes, I always do! When I got back to the hotel in Cordoba last night there was Charlie the camera mal having dinner at the bar and jokingly I told him "Great filming, Charlie!" and he replied "Great cheering!" He filmed me several times going crazy singing along during the concert. Even during Temporary Secretary, the song I hate the most I must say

Javi...glad to hear you had a great time...looking forward to see this tour in August. Surprised to hear your dislike of "Temporary Secretary"...I never really cared for the studio version on McCartney 2...however I REALLY ENJOYED it live!!

Good to hear from you, Javilu! Glad to hear you had a good time. Watching on periscope, I found the crowd chanting a bit distracting and it seemed like Paul had to force himself to wait to start a song until the chanting slowed down. Noticed it especially before Here Today. On to the next gig(s)?? Are you doing both Tues & Thurs?

Thank you, sweetie! Argentinian crowds chanting means approval and having a good time. When Paul said "Let's hear it for John!" the crowd erupted into a loud singing of "OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE... LENNON... LENNON" I am doing both Tuesday and Thursday gigs. A splendid time is guaranteed for all

Just got settled in La Plata, too tired to post a full review of the Cordoba concert, so I'll just say it was a great show. I loved every minute of it, especially the "new" songs.

I am sure you are "happy tired', 5th Beatle! Rest up for the next big show. Enjoy and have good time! When looking at footage from the concerts, it is so satisfying to see the smiles and enthusiasm of the audience. Thousands and thousands of fans can't be wrong!! Love the experience that only PAUL can provide us.

Paul must keep touring and must keep this set list structure. Yes, including Hey Jude, Let Me Roll It, Yesterday, Let It Be, Blackbird, Back In The USSR, Live And Let Die, Band On The Run, Here Today, Something and all those supposedly worn-out songs. I've been at this show yesterday and being there is the only way to understand why these songs remain in the set list. It all makes sense and works like a charm. And the new changes in the set list work PERFECTLY, specially 'Here There And Everywhere', 'Love Me Do', 'You Won't See Me' and 'In Spite Of All The Danger'. The only two songs that I wasn't really fond on were 'Elanor Rigby' and 'My Valentine', but I have never really liked them. Glad that 'Long And Winding Road' and 'Get Back' have been cut off too. The show is simply outstanding, the man is something out of this world and his performances give shivers down the spine to everyone in the audience. IMHO he has been, is and will always be the best musican that has ever lived and I feel blessed that after this tour I will have seen him seven times. If you have the chance to attend a current show just don't miss it - in the worst of the cases it's better to regret having attended it (won't happen even in a million years!) than missing it.

You are correct. He must NEVER stop touring.

OK I get it. So if you pay money to see Paul McCartney and you sing loudly so you can't hear his shot voice, it's a great concert. Righto.
