Just got home...fantastic concert. Paul was in GREAT voice! Many highlights. This may have been the best show I've seen from Paul over the years. Crowd was excellent. Paul brought a 14 year old girl up on stage near the end and autographed a Sgt. Pepper album for her. Thanks, Paul - you are the Master
-
I ran into her walking out & saw the personal autograph! She was adorable. Another perfect show! Loved the Mardi Gras story.
never heard that one before!

Was looking over a New Orleans (newspaper) concert review, and it has "Birthday" replacing "Hi Hi Hi"...interesting!

I think it might have been spontaneous, check out the gestures from the 5 minute mark on, especially at 5:17:

Thanks for the links! Nice review, I like that he singled out the band members and mentioned some of their musical contributions to the concert.
-
Great show. Well worth the 4 month wait. So glad Paul was able to reschedule this concert. I plan to write more when I have more time. Need to check out od hotel soon.

Very nice review but got to admit I cringe every time I read about McCartney telling the same old stories (Hendrix - Sgt. Pepper).
-
Yeah, the stories are the same, but when you're actually *out there* listening to them in person, it's fine - the way he tells a story is so very charming, isn't it? Something that only the locals will appreciate, but I must mention: Paul's sprinkling of terms from the local vernacular were too funny. To hear an Englishman greet his audience with, "How's your Mama and "dem?" - the crowd loved it
He also managed to work in "lagniappe", "where y'at, dahlin'?", Mardi Gras, and, at the very end, a cheerily-received "Who Dat!". It was just so amusing to hear these expressions coming from a Brit

"Yeah, the stories are the same, but when you're actually *out there* listening to them in person, it's fine - the way he tells a story is so very charming, isn't it" Yes, he is very good at telling a story and is charming. It would be nice to hear some of that same charm with new material - lol.
