Wix Wickens!!!
-
Now my goal for my next Paul concert is to meet Wix!!! or at least Brian since things got messed up this time!
-
I've also met Wix three times--first time in 1990 at the hotel where our tour group and the band were staying in Liverpool, 2nd time at the Concert for George and 3rd time at the premier of Ecce Cor Meum. He is one nice man.

Wow! I wonder if knows I' m on here?? Everyone has met him except his biggest fan!!

We met all of the Lumpy Trousers band at the hotel the morning after Liverpool 1990 as they were waiting for their bus while we waited for ours. At Concert for George, my friend and I just went up to Wix and started talking to him. I told him I had met him in 1990. He was nice enough to play along and act like he remembered. Same thing at Ecce Cor Meum--only this time I reminded him of our two previous encounters. I'm sure he didn't really remember, but he said he did.

Yeah, I doubt he remembered '90 But maybe from Ecce- concert for george! Still so cool!!!

He didn't laugh or anything. Just acted like he remembered both times. We laughed as we returned to our seats at the Concert for George as we knew Wix didn't remember, but that made the man even nicer in our books.

I agree- Wix deserves some credit for all the cool sound effects he does on keyboard. He's also been in the band the longest (since 1989) which is cool. I like how on the performance at the white house on 1 song where theres a big drum part i think penny lane Wix stood up to imitate Abe's arm movement for the drum part- it was funny and wshows how cgood of friends they are I guess

Yeah, if you pay close attention, it seems that abe and wix joke around quite a bit back there

I met Wix briefly in 2009, he seems like a very nice guy. When Paul used to do Maybe I'm Amazed in the shows, it was fun to watch Paul and Wix interact from their opposite ends of the stage.

Yeah, when Paul's up on the grand piano they look back and forth a lot...especially on C Moon!

Isn't it about time* that we dedicate a thread to the longest-tenured band-member that Paul McCartney has ever had? *=correction: long-overdue
-
For me, this was the first song/solo where Wix really shined: Paul McCartney - We Got Married (live @ Rio 1990):
-
And here's Wix officially introducing himself in the 1994 documentary Movin' On. He's a man of few (actually spoken) words (skip to 0:13:13)

oops. And the most embarrassing thing is that I'd previously made posts in this thread.

Time for Paul to ditch Wix and his squeeze box.
-
No way should Paul ditch Wix. He's been there for Paul for many, many years. He even has a title now: musical director. I'd love to hear some live strings on some songs, but please don't ditch Wix.
-
As mentioned on the "Back in the US" DVD by Paul..."Wix is the glue that holds us all together"

Oh, yeah! And it would take 21 years for Paul to return to play there in Rio de Janeiro again, in 2011!
