For McCartney fans, it was the Magic, the mystery, the tour By Rachel Leibrock -- Bee Staff Writer Although Arco Arena opened its doors at 7 p.m. to a crush of noisy, eager concertgoers, it would be two hours before Sir Paul McCartney took the stage Wednesday night, more than hour after the scheduled start time. Not that anyone seemed to mind. After all, with McCartney, it may be about the music, man, but it's also about the buzz. (And the $95 soccer-styled jersey to prove you were there.) For Dave Chappel, 49, and his son Phil, 10, this experience was about getting to see and hear an incomparable great. Chappel, of Penryn, hoped McCartney would bust out some of his newer songs, but added, "He can do whatever he wants." Whatever McCartney wanted included video screens that flashed images of his darkly provocative art and a 10-minute film about McCartney's life. A bit much? Perhaps. But even if there was a moment - or two or three - when one wanted the show to just start already, all was forgiven once the red curtain finally raised and McCartney, flanked by a young band, broke into a raucous rendition of "Magical Mystery Tour." The crowd stood and sang along with a remarkably fresh McCartney, and it was clear that for those caught up in the moment, the long and winding musical road had finally reached its destination.

Years gain on Sir Paul, but it matters not a bit By Cathalena E. Burch ARIZONA DAILY STAR Tucson, Arizona | Published: 11.25.2005 After almost every song he sang Wednesday night, Paul McCartney did this little victory dance of sorts. He jabbed his guitar - or fist if he had been playing his baby grand piano - in the air, then did this little twisty move that involved his hips and legs. Or he would twist a few steps in either direction. He mixed it up a bit; twist, jab, jog a few steps in place. It was unabashedly dorky, and no doubt the aging rock legend knew it. But it didn't matter; he's Paul McCartney. He represents an era in music that's gone forever, except when he packs his tour bus every few years and graces a stage to remind us of those good ol' days. He reminded us plenty on Wednesday, delivering a feast of music that we were oh-so-thankful for. And we gobbled it up as if we were famished, 18,000 of us packed tightly into the sold-out Glendale Arena. We were thankful that Sir Paul stood on that stage and didn't let a little thing like age stop him. He turned 63 in June and he's starting to look his age: His jowls are starting to sag, and wrinkles gently crease his eyes. His voice isn't as virile as it used to be; you could hear him strain to make vocal sense of "Jenny Wren" off his new album, "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard," arguably his best record in years. His voice was bare and thin, and there was nothing he could do to disguise it, even though he tried to write it off as being distracted by folks waving signs trying to get his attention. But none of that mattered when he sang his Wings-era song "Let Me Roll It" in a bluesy voice that erased all signs of weakness. It was magical in a way that's hard to put into words; there was a sense that the legend of the man was far bigger than the man. Perhaps that comes from the many hats McCartney wears: solo artist, band leader (Wings) and Beatle. He spent the 3 1/2-hour show trying to do justice to all of those roles, and succeeded beyond expectations. His set list dips judiciously into his Beatles repertoire, his solo career and the decade he spent fronting Wings with his late wife, Linda. He performed such classics as "Magical Mystery Tour," "Eleanor Rigby," "Good Day Sunshine," "Band on the Run" and "Follow Me." Hues of blue and green lights sparkled in the darkened arena during several songs as audience members whipped out cell phones and waved them in the air when he sang "Yesterday," "Maybe I'm Amazed," "The Long and Winding Road" and "Hey Jude." They wanted to share the experience with friends who couldn't make it. Hearing McCartney sing on a cell phone pales in comparison to experiencing him live. When the fans weren't screaming themselves hoarse, they were singing along. The chorus of their voices echoed eerily on "Penny Lane"; those same voices created a blanket of harmony on "Let It Be," making the song oddly surreal and comforting. McCartney did two encores - six songs in all including "Get Back," "Helter Skelter" and "Please Please Me". When he was about to do the final song, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)"/ "The End," McCartney had to beg the audience to leave. "There does come a time when we actually have got to go," he said, his voice sounding tired. Then Sir Paul did a well-deserved little victory dance and took his final bow

McCARTNEY ON XM RADIO - 23.11.2005 www.paulmccartney.com PAUL MCCARTNEY TO BE FEATURED ON XM SATELLITE RADIO'S "ARTIST CONFIDENTIAL" XM Satellite Radio, the US's largest satellite radio service with more than 5 million subscribers, recently hosted music icon Paul McCartney in their Washington D.C. studios for the taping of "Artist Confidential," XM's groundbreaking interview and performance program, hosted by XM's George Taylor Morris. The Paul McCartney "Artist Confidential" will premiere on Monday, November 21 at 7 pm ET on XM Live (XM Channel 200), The 60s (XM Channel 6), The 70s (XM Channel 7), Deep Tracks (XM Channel 40), Top Tracks (XM Channel 46) and The Blend (XM Channel 25). Recorded before a live studio audience at XM's state-of-the-art Performance Theater in D.C., just three blocks from the site of the Washington Coliseum where the Beatles played their first live U.S. show more than 40 years ago, McCartney talks about the creative process, his new album "Chaos and Creation," and shares some unique insights on his life and work. Throughout the hour-long performance, McCartney also treats the audience to live acoustic renditions of songs from the new album, including "How Kind of You," "Fine Line," and "Follow Me." During the show, McCartney describes his passion for writing songs as a "compulsion," guiding audience members through a brief example of how he typically takes a few notes in his head and works them into a larger melody. There are a few exceptions, of course; the melody for the Beatles' classic "Yesterday" came to McCartney in a dream. "That was a pretty good dream," jokes McCartney. While not a classically trained musician, McCartney remarks that he does enjoy classical music and says classical music has influenced his songwriting. For example, McCartney notes that a Bach piece directly inspired the melody to the song "Blackbird," of which he plays a few bars for the audience McCartney also shares with the audience that "Here, There and Everywhere" is among his favorites out of all the songs he has written during his long career. Paul McCartney "Artist Confidential" will air throughout this week and during December. Complete programming schedules and information are available at www.xmradio.com

Pre-show Report by Mike Kovacich (macca-central) Hi to all. We are here in Las Vegas eager for the two concerts. It's very exciting in the days leading up to tonight's first show. Paul tour posters all over the MGM Grand, and video screens all around including the large outdoor screens showing a minute or so promo for the concert. It's a video clip of Paul in the studio apparently working on the Band on the Run extra he did in the 2004 Summer tour. Also setting the mood is that every other song being played throughout the whole complex is a Paul McCartney song. Not Beatles, but songs from his entire solo career. Report by Susan Kovacich: with a little help from Mike Hi, we arrived here at the MGM Thursday afternoon and when we checked in, the guy at the front desk thought Mike was part of the Paul tour group and gave us directions to a Thanksgiving party for Paul tour crew. We were suppose to be directed to the Fan Astylum Thanksgiving party so we thought that is where we were going. As it turns out, this was a private party put on by Clear Channel for the tour crew. After a very short while it became obvious that it was not where we were suppose to be. Mike said he recognized some key tour people and we then realized we party crashers. Struck up a few conversation as it was the crew's day off and where definately having a good time. Many were kicking back in bean bag chairs and sofas watching the football game on the big screen, there was another room that was more a games room. Others were standing around chatting having fun. After having some champagne (a few) we thought it we should get going but were put at ease after someone who oraganized the event very politely asked who we were. After the explanation we all had a laugh and we stayed a while longer until it was time for us to leave to find the real Thanksgiving dinner party with FAN Asylum that we actually had an invite for.

Columnist John Katsilometes: Paul McCartney's rare approach to song selection at the MGM Grand Fabulous Las Vegas runs Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in the Las Vegas Sun. Reach John Katsilometes at kats@lasvegassun.com or at (702) 259-2327 or (702) 812-9812. ??? Paul McCartney periodically embarks on "get back" adventures. He did it in the late-'60s with the Beatles, he did it early in his solo career, and again in 1999 with "Run Devil Run," an album populated with oldies McCartney grew up with. The 2005 version of McCartney's road show stopped at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday for the first of two performances. For the sellout crowd of 14,500 it was another "get back" project, as the characteristically strong-voiced McCartney and his quartet of backing musicians dipped as deep as possible into Sir Paul's seemingly limitless Beatles, Wings and solo catalog. Yes, he played "Yesterday." But he also fastened the jumper cables to "I'll Get You," a 1963 off track from the earliest days of the Beatles that has never been considered a McCartney song (it was originally sung by John Lennon). Other rare gems in the 2 1/2-hour show included: "Flaming Pie": The title track off his 1996 album, which followed the Beatles "Anthology" CDs. That was the night's second song, after "Magical Mystery Tour." "In Spite of all the Danger": The first recording by the Quarry Men (who would become the Beatles), in the summer of 1958. The then five-piece band of teenagers recorded two songs in a makeshift recording studio in Liverpool (the other song recorded that day was Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day"). It's the only song credited to McCartney and George Harrison, but oddly most of the crowd was familiar enough with this long-lost rarity to follow along with the lyrics. "'Til There Was You": A "smoochy" song picked from the "Music Man," avid fans will know that this 1963 cover was performed by the Beatles that year at the Royal Command Performance. "Too Many People/She Came in Through the Bathroom Window": Where "Ram" meets "Abbey Road." The front end of this curious medley is from the 1971 Wings album, the latter on Side 2 of the Beatles' great final (recorded) album. "Helter Skelter": I had read that McCartney had been playing this White Album noisefest on the current tour but I didn't believe it until it crashed in during the first of two encores (following "Yesterday" and "Get Back"). Not my favorite, but give McCartney credit for pulling off the song's excruciating vocals. What was missing? A lot. No room for favorites from past tours, "Here, There and Everywhere," "I Saw Her Standing There," "Can't By Me Love," or "All My Loving." And a suggestion to anyone who has a hand in the next tour's set list: Pull out "Biker Like an Icon" from 1993's "Off The Ground" to test fans' McCartney acumen. Or patience. NoteMart: All McCartney, all day: No Grand illusion: The McCartney shows capped a monthlong rock 'n' roll festival at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. November saw U2, the Rolling Stones and McCartney roll through the Emerald City. Synopsis: U2 brought the most electrifying show -- more revival than rock concert (I needed 14 hours of sleep after that one). The Stones were great, as usual, but are toeing the line of becoming a parody of themselves (blocking Keith Richards from the microphone stand would help solve that problem). As for McCartney, who takes a backseat to no one, he brought a casual humility to the stage that was absent from the superstars who preceded him in Vegas ("humble" is not the first word to describe Bono or Mick Jagger). He relayed several self-effacing anecdotes, and after the new song "Jenny Wren," off of "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard," explained his difficulty staying on task onstage. "I see these signs fans bring to the show and I don't want to look, especially with a new song. I'm concentrating on the chords, on the lyrics ... focus, focus, focus. But there's a little voice that says, 'Go ahead! Look at the sign!' So I look at the sign and it says, 'My Mom Saw You At Candlestick Park in 1966.' Aargh!" ... Signs of age: One well-crafted message from the audience: "Sir Paul: We Still Love You And We'll Still Need You When You're 64." McCartney turns 64 in June; he has said in interviews that his kids have advised him to "leave the planet" when that happens ... Whither celebs? Past McCartney shows in Vegas attracted assorted celebrities -- I crossed paths with Ozzy Osbourne in '02 -- but there were scant sightings Friday. But I did spot Tropicana afternoon illusionist Rick Thomas doing the hippy-hippy shake on floor level ... Adventurous lyrics: The new song "English Tea" features the line "peradventure we might play." McCartney said he wrote the line, then checked a dictionary to be sure "peradventure" is actually a word. It is -- meaning possibly, maybe, perhaps. "So impress your friends!" McCartney said. "Go out to the casino -- peradventure red, peradventure black ..."
