No, can't break away from work. And the way he's making these announcements, if I juggled some jobs & made plans, then you know he'd come to Chicago. Might as well wait...

Well, that wish came true! So will you be there then? If so you should wave at Wix and the band for the rest of us!

Did you get to go to the soundcheck? I heard Paul was late & Wix was posing for photos & signing autographs! Very cool!

I love Wix, but on stage I'd rather he just play piano only. And keyboards for the songs that require it (like the solos on Jet, and Band On The Run.) But for stuff like Got To Get You Into My Life, bring out a real brass band. Or a real string quartet for Yesterday. It makes a huge difference, and Paul can afford it. I'm not knocking Wix. I think he's great. But some of Wix' keyboards replicating real instruments, irritates me. Even the Fab Faux, (at 1/4 of Paul's ticket price), use a real brass and string section.

No I'm here in philly now, going to tonight's show. I'd love to meet Wix, but I'm most likely meeting Brian at the Camp McCartney thingy in about 2 hrs

well then complain to Paul. Wix is just an employee! I agree...Paul CAN afford it. He can also bring his own bagpippers around the world so that we all can hear Mull.

It would be nice to have live orchestration, I think Wix does just fine with his keyboards..if Paul wanted, he could do a tour and play with each town's Symphony Orchestra?

Since I play piano, I admire "Wix" Wickens very much. He does a great job on songs like "Got to Get You Into My Life" and 'Eleanor Rigby." Who needs a brass and string section? Wix covers it all.

Thats how I feel as well, being a keyboardsit myself, I personally think the orchestra would like nicer live than a stack of keyboards. But, Hey, I do exactly what Wix does in my band can't knock the leader

Yeah, Paul was also held up in San Francisco as well, and Wix actually did that, but he was behind me, and by the time I realized that he was there, it was too late to say "Hello", as he was walking away...but it was nice that he was being friendly with everyone.
-
I was at sound check in Philadelphia on Aug 14th and he came out walked around, gave some high fives and took pictures. I think that was great of him!!
-
He prolly gets a kick outta everyone whilst waiting for his boss to show up!
