How much is Paul's booking fee?
-
I wonder what 20,000 Paul McCartney fans want to hear cranked through the speakers before he takes the stage, Silly Love Songs or Sucker For Love. Ouch. No further questions your honor.

Well, they're important enough for Paul to mention their tenth anniversary of playing with him. I'll take it a step further and insist that they've all earned the right to open the show with a handful of their original songs.
I'd much prefer this than the DJ, why would anybody not want to see this? I'd take live music as the support act any day.
I'd prefer the DJ with Paul's music rather than unfamiliar music from the 'band'.
Going to a show and seeing a new artist play a half hour set that makes you go "wow, those guys are really good" can be a real highlight. Like I said, not necessarily the band but some up an coming talent.
And what if they are crap?

I'd rather hear good live music versus sloppy remixes of good songs that are then made to sound bad. As Audi pointed out, the DJ just isn't cutting it.

That is a possibility but they gotta have their chance IMO.

I don't want to hear any sloppy music either But all I want to hear is Paul. He doesn't need an opening act. IMO.

He seems to want something, though, and that DJ is not cutting it. Much prefer to get a chance to hear some other music, and with Brian, Rusty, and now Abe releasing their own stuff, I'd love to get a chance to hear them.

So sit in silence while we're waiting for Paul? How would The Beatles have ever made it if nobody ever let them work their way up?

The Beatles would also have 3-4 opening bands before they went on. Often the combined time the opening acts played was longer than The Beatles. Now THAT would tick me off.

way different times & way different level of fame (maybe) and way different price of tickets.

And yet opening acts still exist, and again, Paul seems to want something.

Brian lives in Santa Monica in a bueatiful house by the beach....and to live in Santa Monica you have to have a little bit of money. So I guess they are making at least 6 figures a year?

They are involved in the best band in the world. They are all multimillionaires.

None of you are giving the band enough credit. They are the BESTEST band in the world and they are BILLIONAIRES!!

I assume you have proof that they're this rich?

Unless they have a gambling addiction, it's kinda obvious they would be millionaires playing around the world with Paul McCartney for 10 years.

Right? No, Paul McCartney pays his band in gummy bears and gift certificates. "Here Abe, it's a $50 gift certificate to Hooters, love the drumming." *walks away*

Ah...assumptions. So helpful. Thanks for the solid facts.

I seriously doubt any member of this band are millionaires, let alone multi-millionaires. Paul has never been known to pay his bands well. Ask Stella about her dad and his money. As for an opening act, I don't mind the DJ and film. I would actually like Paul to get on stage sooner than he does. If I knew Brian, Rusty and Abe were playing their songs before the show, that would be my bathroom break. Sorry folks. I'm paying my money to see Paul, not the band.
