Albany, NY - Times Union Center - July 5, 2014 - ARCHIVE

Great show from Paul tonight. Fairly passing by the numbers Paul show, with the exception of adding "On My Way To Work." Will post a few shots on instagram tomorrow. Not a lot of great shots, but decent shots from the side. The average concert goer doesn't realize how much Paul plays in the encores. Some steamed out after Hey Jude, and even more after Get Back. Just shook my head. Went to a dinner after the show, and heard 2 different tables talking about how they were SURE Paul was done when they tried to sneak out ahead of the crowd, only to hear he was playing again. The other funny thing was several people in front of us who were on they're phones and cameras the whole show. I get wanting to post assume stuff, but they regularly spent entire songs scrolling, tagging, typing, etc. One lady took hundreds of pics (not very good), and then would flip through them sing, after adding. She watched her camera way more than Paul. Paul sounded energetic, and pretty good vocally tonight. Loved hearing the "New" sings live. My gf and I were rocking to those way more than anybody else around us.

I know it's not the place to gripe but he's been doing Something and Here Today as the tributes for 12 years now. Time to change them!
I hate to be crude but after 12 yrs why does he still need to do tributes.

Here's the full "On My Way To Work":
Just love the way he says "Albany"! Guess no one told him the first syllable is more like "all" than "Al". -
And another, during the "Let Me Roll It/Foxy Lady" jam... http://instagram.com/p/qHFcWonr_H/

Nice video. Brian Ray is playing a new bass, to my eyes at least. A black SG bass, either a Gibson or an Epiphone. I like it!

1 NEW SONG FOR THE SHOW! I hope a few new additions creep in as the tour progresses.
Maybe Appreciate by Wednesday? Please?

proposal onstage...the way to have Paul & Band as your back up.

Looks like a great setlist with the NEW additions (very similar to the Out There setlists from 2013 with a few variations). The decision to make the drive to Jacksonville is becoming harder and harder (or maybe easier and easier).

Just returned from what I thought was an AMAZING show in Albany last night. To start off, Paul looks and sounds FANTASTIC! The soundcheck which included "On My Way To Work" (one of my favorites on the NEW cd, and requested by yours truly on a sign) was also added to the main set list that evening! The set list was (I believe) carried over from the May S.A. leg and it was nice to hear now 5 NEW songs from the latest cd. All the NEW songs sound great "live"! The Albany crowd, which included many forum members, gave Paul an unbelievable welcome back to the stage which made this concert something "real special". I would definately say this was one of the best McCartney shows I've seen....going back to 1976! For those going to see him on this tour, you're in for a real treat...ENJOY!!
-
"Albanians" ...lol! I love it when he does that.
-
I've seen Paul 9 times now and it amazes me that he and the band continue to top themselves. The Albany show was the GREATEST show EVER!!!! The show was perfect - from getting to see Paul arrive at the Times Union Center to hearing him yell, "See you next time" at the end - it was simply AMAZING! Thank you Paul, Rusty, Brian, Wix and Abe for the never ending thrills!
-
I got two feet away from Paul. Surreal!!

Glad to know you enjoyed yourselves. Happy to see Paul in great shape!
