Sir Paul kicks off world tour in Miami BY HOWARD COHEN hcohen@herald.com Paul McCartney's opens his Us Tour at Miami's AmericanAirlines Arena. With oldies galore, a splendid time was guaranteed for all. In concert Friday night at Miami's sold-out AmericanAirlines Arena on the opening night of a trek he simply dubs the Us Tour (``It's all about us, we're all in this together''), it was classic Paul McCartney fans came to hear and classic Paul McCartney is what they got -- all the way back to the earliest Beatles songs and before. That meant a lot of good day sunshine songs, heaping doses of silly love songs and plenty of she loves you yeah, yeah, YEAH!. The man dug out a pre-Beatles song -- the 1958 Quarrymen tune In Spite of All the Danger -- for heaven's sake! Quite the contrast from McCartney's critically-hailed new CD, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, which came out this week and contains some of his most somber reflections to date. For a man known for, and criticized for, optimistic pop much of the CD has come as a surprise -- and perhaps accounts for the overboard praise it has received. He performed a smattering of tunes from the disc to, at best, polite reaction. The CD's opening Fine Line, with Paul on piano, proved to be fan's cue to head to the bathroom, window. Acclaimed, though it may be by besotted critics, most of this new music will probably be forgotten by the time his next mega tour rolls around, although the sweet acoustic numbers Jenny Wren and English Tea proved appealing. This was a night when one-quarter of the Beatles, the Cute One, came to reclaim his legend as one of pop music's most popular composers. A point he needn't have made with a self-aggrandizing 10-minute pre-concert videoclip of his history. We paid $250 bucks a pop to see you, Paul, we know you're important. It wasn't always McCartney's modus operandi, of course. At one point in the '70s McCartney was so gung-ho on establishing an identity post-Fab Four he buried himself in his band Wings and eschewed Beatles material in concert. It wasn't until his successful Wings Over America Tour in 1976 that McCartney finally gave in and folded some Beatles tunes into the mix -- and even then he avoided the most popular anthems he ladled freely Friday: the opening Magical Mystery Tour, a snippet of the Ringo-popularized Yellow Submarine, Penny Lane et al. Now, it could be argued, he's gone full-tilt crazy on the stuff, stockpiling his show with one Beatles number after another, ignoring most of his solo material at its expense. Granted, most fans came to hear stuff like Back in the USSR. Not Back to the Egg. The gimmick, as on his previous tours in 1990 and 2002 was in dusting off favorites he has never performed live and, given that the Beatles retired from touring in 1966, this left plenty of material to unearth. Stuff like I'll Follow the Sun, The Music Man's 'Til There Was You, the late-period Beatles I've Got a Feeling. So much so he could still be out there on the Miami stage playing by the time you read this and someone out there may still gripe, ''Where the hell's Helen Wheels?'' (At 42, weaned on Wings, count me as one.) No prob, mate. We got Wings' Band on the Run, which brought fans to their feet even more than for some of the Beatles hits, and a punchy Too Many People, which McCartney misidentified as a Wings song. (The 1971 record was credited to Paul and late wife Linda McCartney.) Wings' Jet was done with an arrangement just the way you remember it 31 years ago. McCartney is not big on reinvention. This, naturally, seemed fine for most fans gone giddy in Paul's presence. ''I'm a big Beatles fan for life,'' said Fort Lauderdale fan Russell Rand, 55, who has a hand-painted, 25-year-old classic of his own: a multi-colored, satin Sgt Pepper coat he was hoping Sir Paul would wear. It would make up for Rand's big mistake. ``As a kid, 40 years ago, I could have seen the Beatles in Hartford, but I thought they were a girl's band. I learned better.'' McCartney's new band is for everyone. Fine musicians, the four-piece, including drummer Abe Laboriel, keyboardist Paul ''Wix'' Wickens and guitarist Rusty Anderson, lent muscle to AM radio hits like Maybe I'm Amazed and Let Me Roll It. McCartney, ever the professional, started this tour off with numbers tailored not to tax his voice, saving rockers like Got to Get You Into My Life for later in the set. The staging was simple and the off-the-cuff flavor was endearing. McCartney flubbed the lyrics to the 1968 Beatles tune, Blackbird, and quipped, ``How long have I been singing this? At least you know it's not on tape!'' Will you still need him, will you still feed him at 64, as he asked in song all those years ago? He's nine months short of that milestone and judging by the quicksilver sales of those $252 concert tickets and $37 concert T-shirts and $11 Corona beers, plus the genuine good time he delivers on stage, it's safe to assume we'll be feeding and needing this man even when he's 84.

Paul McCartney By Nick Marino | Wednesday, September 21, 2005, 10:34 AM The Atlanta Journal-Constitution This reviewer is not an especially big Beatles fan. He knows, he knows, he knows ? it?s a terrible sin for a music critic to feel ambivalence toward this band, and he will be punished severely in the afterlife. But lying about it would only make matters worse. And so it was with some trepidation Tuesday night that he trudged into a sold-out Philips Arena, notebook in hand, thinking he might have to write something unpleasant about Paul McCartney?s concert, in the interest of telling the truth. He is happy to report, however, that the show was a tour-de-force. The career-spanning 160-minute performance not only testified to McCartney?s artistic stamina, it reanimated a catalog of songs so overexposed that they?ve been systematically bled of their life force. Against the odds, Sir Paul made them matter again. His voice, while not much worse than in his prime, is certainly not better. And his concert arrangements were generally straightforward, leaving the Beatles? vintage studio work untouched. But he didn?t need a perfect voice, or a revisionist approach. He just needed to be himself, a 63-year-old boy. McCartney came out wearing a goofy mismatched outfit and a bad haircut, and throughout the night he tugged at his jeans as though they were sliding down his Underoos. Along with all of that, however, came an infectious innocence, the innocence of someone still dazzled by his own powers of creation, someone who can?t dance but can write a pretty love song, someone who wants to hold your hand. McCartney played a few tunes from his new album, ?Chaos And Creation In The Backyard,? then joked about plugging the record, as though he were self-conscious about it, as though the billionaire singer-songwriter for the world?s most famous band has anything to be self-conscious about ever again. He introduced ?Too Many People? by exclaiming ?This is for the Wings fans!? with no discernable irony. He dealt as gracefully as he could with the audience members who insisted on talking ? and in some cases screaming ? while he was trying to communicate. (Incidentally, the crowd?s behavior almost spoiled this reviewer?s mood. He found himself wondering how fans could spend $252 on a ticket, then gab through the show. And he wondered why the fans? innermost thoughts couldn?t wait to be revealed at a time when they weren?t in the same room with a Beatle.) In any case, McCartney carried on, playing his songs as though they were written yesterday. The parade of Beatles songs was enough to make ticketless fans stuck at home weep: ?Eleanor Rigby,? ?Penny Lane,? ?Fixing A Hole,? ?Please Please Me,? ?Magical Mystery Tour,? ?Yesterday? and a batch from ?The White Album? including a noisy ?Helter Skelter,? a sweet ?I Will? and a gorgeous ?Blackbird.? Late in the main set came ?Hey Jude,? a singular experience. McCartney has a special gift for making ?na na na na? sound profound. For this song the audience stopped talking and joined in a colossal chorus of na?s. Around this time, Sir Paul noticed a fan hoisting up a baby. The kid looked too young to feed himself, much less sing along. But one got the feeling that he?d grow up to learn the words, and that he?d be reminded, emphatically, that one day long ago Paul McCartney came to town, and that he was there. McCartney?s two encores were loaded with Beatles songs, and the most powerful came near the very end when McCartney, seated at an upright piano, played and sang ?Let It Be.? Ever the master of the simple gesture, he provided ambiance by lighting a solitary candle. ?When I find myself in times of trouble,? he sang, ?Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.? At a moment in history when humankind is at war not only with itself, but also with nature, it?s plain that we have found ourselves in times of trouble. We have too few voices of universal reassurance, too few words of wisdom, too much pain to let anything be. ?And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,? Paul McCartney sang, ?There will be an answer. Let it be.? This reviewer is not too proud to confess that, as the song unfolded, he felt a single tear slide down his cheek. Permalink | Comments (10) | Post your comment | Categories: Pop Music Comments By Tyler Smith September 21, 2005 11:36 AM | Link to this dear ajc, i am an avid beatles fan. my dad got me into the music and i only regret that i cant see them all play. What i will say is that paul?s show was a spectacle i will never forget, though the show had a weak start. it started with a parade of computer drum machine music, which is the type of ?music? that causes me to enjoy classic rock and blues so much. followed by what can only be described as an A&E biography of pauls life, very unecessary, as im already very familiar with it. those two details got both me and my father in a rather sour mood. but then paul came out, and all bitterness was soon forgotten in the barage of classic beatles and solo songs being played. we both especially enjoyed how paul managed to mix it up, playing songs from his new album(far from being bad)and older pre-beatle material (ex.?in spite of all the danger). he also impressed me by giving some background into how the songs were written, personal experiences, and interaction with the audience, something not many people in that position do. he smiled and joked a lot as well, which as a fellow musician i can say is good for putting the audience at ease, which he did very well. yes it is fair to say that i walked away that night feeling that it was well worth the risk of missing school the next day, also a risk many parents felt was worth taking. i left the concert feeling very satisfied, and more than a little deaf. well done paul, it was an experience i will never forget. i only wish he would teach me how to play ?yesterday.? i just cant get it right. By Marc September 21, 2005 12:15 PM | Link to this Wow. As a former Atlantan now living in Savannah, I was not able to make it to the show. I am sure it was wonderful. Moreso, I am so impressed by Nick Marino?s positive review that I see that there is one voice that can unite people of many different backgrounds and tastes, and it happens to be the ?63 year old boy? named Paul McCartney. Also, to Tyler, great writing. Good luck with your music. By Eric S September 21, 2005 12:25 PM | Link to this There are so few popular artists who have done so much and yet remain relevant in their later years. If a song can truly heal a broken spirit, and it can, then Paul is a miracle worker. His sincerity and energy are real and palpable?his contribution to the modern pop culture of the world cannot be overstated. By aching4aiken September 21, 2005 12:30 PM | Link to this I?m impressed, Nick, with your ability to shed the cynical trappings of a reporter and let the music and the moment carry you to another place and review. Bravo. I?ve now seen Sir Paul in every Atlanta concert he?s given, save one, and can report that like wine, he gets better with age. Last night was not just a nostalgia trip for me, as I originally expected, but a reminder of what good songwriting is all about and that too few good songs are being written today. I also was forced to listen to too many rude idiots who must have thought they were at Chastain. They did not mar my evening though as I chose to immerse myself in Sir Paul and the music. It was a good effort for my powers of focus. They are the losers. By Lee Robinson September 21, 2005 01:11 PM | Link to this I can especially relate to the part about people shelling out $200 bucks for a ticket and not shutting their mouths long enough to hear the music. This is exactly why I did not go to this concert. Those people always seem to sit next to me. I remember a few years ago, when U2 came to town, it was the worst concert experience of my life. I was a teenager in the 80?s so I grew up with U2 and looked forward to seeing one of the legendary bands of my time, but this was ruined by a bunch of 40-somethings that insisted on screaming and yelling and being totally oblivious to anyone sitting around them?-and they were not the exception, but the rule. So, I just want to thank all of you arrogant, snobby, upper middle class suburbanites in retrospect for ruining what would have otherwise been an enjoyable evening many years ago. Yes, I am bitter about it still to this day. And I?ve been to over 100 concerts in my life. Nick, I?m glad you were able to halfway enjoy the show. By fred September 21, 2005 01:17 PM | Link to this I have seen paul three times and could not go last night due to work commitments. relax, I?ve got tickets to see him in vegas in november. they are truly one of a kind and we won?t see there kind again. we should all just be glad that he still enjoys doing what we love and be happy that we still get to see him. btw, I?ve seen ringo once (at chastain) and I agree that they only get better with age. By Mather68 September 21, 2005 01:46 PM | Link to this I looked at the photos from the concert and have one question: How long did the photographer stay for? One song? Two? What a BORING set of shots! By sid September 21, 2005 01:49 PM | Link to this I would be curious to know if the reviewer (& others) saw him in ?02. last night was was good but personally I thought the set list was far better last time. I had read it was going to be different (which is fine) and was encouraged when he opened with Majical Mystery Tour but there were quite a few songs I just did not know. the stage was really cool (the whole thing was a modular display like the ramps at the superbowl) but that is the only thing I would say was better than ?02 (which was the greatest concert I have ever seen). just my 2c? others? By Andisheh Nouraee September 21, 2005 01:55 PM | Link to this A great review. Thanks, Nick. As a longtime McCartney, one of the things that really moved me was the song selection. It meant a lot to me that about 1/3 of the show was dedicated to obscurities (obscure by Beatles/McCartney standards, that is). You mentioned a few, but I?m also still giddy about hearing him perform ?I?ll Get You? (the UK B-side to ?She Loves You?), ?I?ll Follow The Sun,? and ?In Spite Of All The Danger,? a McCartney/Harrison composition that appeared on Anthology Vol. 1. Happy surprises, all of them. By harry fitch September 21, 2005 02:28 PM | Link to this Thank you, Paul. I wish more artists from our aging rock n roll generation would sing songs we knew solely from their albums or (a sign of those times) nearly commercial-free FM radio. Sure, he played some ?usuals? but to do the first song he, John, and George ever recorded (with two others, paying a pound each to get it done)and rarities like ?For No One? from the Revolver album delighted this Beatles and McCartney fan. There were more than the big AM hits to his lifetime of artistry, and he showed it last night.

Mexicans Living on Texas Gulf Hurry Home By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ, Associated Press Writer NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico - Hundreds of Mexicans living on the Texas Gulf Coast were rushing home Thursday to avoid Hurricane Rita, while authorities in northern Mexico readied shelters and prepared for heavy rains. Nuevo Leon state tourism director Jorge Cantu said Monterrey hotels are lowering rates 20 to 30 percent for people fleeing the Texas Gulf Coast. In Nuevo Laredo, across from Laredo, Texas, Mexican families coming from Houston, Galveston, South Padre Island, Corpus Christi and Pasadena, Texas, waited in long lines to get temporary import permits for their cars. Thousands of Mexicans live and work in Texas, but still have family ? or even second homes ? in Mexico. With Rita bearing down on the Gulf coast, many felt it was time to go home, at least for a week or so. Moises Ramirez was one of hundreds crossing into Mexico on Thursday. A carpenter and home owner from Pasadena, Texas, he left behind his job and house to stay with his parents in Monclova, 440 miles southwest of Pasadena. Traveling with six relatives, Ramirez said he worried about what he would have to come back to, but he wasn't ready to risk staying in the storm's path. "What happened in New Orleans could also happen there," he said, referring to Texas. Nuevo Laredo authorities said families crossing from Texas started coming to the border city late Wednesday, and by Thursday morning more than 1,000 people had crossed into Mexico. "Hearing Rita was one of the most powerful hurricanes in the history of the Gulf was enough for me to leave," said Roberto Garcia, who left his home in Corpus Christi and was heading to a suburb of Monterrey, where his family lives. The influx of Mexicans fleeing the Texas Gulf Coast was expected to increase, and authorities were adding customs agents and personnel at the border. Many families in northern Mexico have relatives in Texas, and South Padre Island is a popular vacation spot for people from Monterrey. In Nuevo Leon state, which includes Monterrey, Gov. Natividad Gonzalez sent a letter to Texas Gov. Rick Perry offering to send in medical and rescue crews. Gonzalez also said Nuevo Leon was prepared to set up shelters near the border in case they are needed. "Just like you have helped the victims of Katrina, we in Nuevo Leon are ready to offer help to our friends in Texas," Gonzalez wrote. Salvador Trevino, public safety director for Tamaulipas state, which borders the Texas Rio Grande Valley, said no evacuations have been ordered because Rita is expected to make landfall in Galveston, Texas. ___ Associated Press reporter Jorge Vargas contributed to this story from Nuevo Laredo. ___ Nuevo Leon Tourism's toll-free number, 1-800-554-5123, for information on Monterrey lodging for evacuees.
