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?
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.
LOL!!

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.
Thanks, folks. It was my first show in Argentina and I enjoyed it a lot. The crowd was very enthusiastic and Paul got excited by that. In fact, he sang along to the "ole ole ole ole" chant started by the fans a few times throughout the evening, also providing guitar and piano backing to the crowd and even improvising a song about Cordoba. It was also the first time I saw him doing a concert in jeans and jacket, which he changed to from Yesterday onwards, due to the cold weather. It looked like the kind of outfit he wears at soundchecks. Loved the experience, looking forward to the next ones!

Paul should play Grace Jones' "I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect for You)" for the critics. Isn't it funny that 50 years ago no one could even hear his voice at concerts and nobody even cared... There's a lot more to the show than just the vocals.

Clearly we have gone full circle. There see to be many today that can't hear his voice and don't care.

Funny. He put his jacket back on? Glad that you had a good time! I think I saw Javi singing in a news clip that I watched earlier.

He came out for the encore in one of the tour merchandise hoodies I think, must have been chilly!

Apparently the big buzz is about his jeans. We've moved on from what colour jacket he's wearing.

That's right. The weather was so cold in La Plata that I bought that hoodie and then realized Paul had worn one of those onstage in Cordoba. https://scontent-gru2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e15/13258942_238898006479872_2002368792_n.jpg

According to local media reports today, there were around 145,000 people at the 3 concerts in Argentina. The tour is being considered a success by fans and critics and all reviews are positive. Cordoba received a large amount of fans from many parts of Argentina, as well as from other countries. Paul's visit gave quite a boost to the local economy.
