21st Century Paul:
Exhibit C Yesterday 1965 or 1966 live, same story than the previous video...
If the Internet would have existed back then we would have had the same discussion, it's funny but it's true. Maybe this was discussed in the 60s, but I don't think so, people didn't have access to every little live performance. Now it's like every performance is in front of the whole world.You are so correct! BTW, I think that is definitely a less-than-stellar performance of Yesterday! This one is much better:
Which reminds me: Is there a reason Paul sang "Yesterday" in the key of G (the studio track is in F) in their '66 Japan shows?
probably because it's easier to play the chords in G and John had to play them with the electric

If the Internet would have existed back then we would have had the same discussion, it's funny but it's true. 1966... "Paul can't sing like he sang" "You critize every thing Paul does" "Paul sings different depending on the day" I don't know if it's true with Paul, Freddie said that he could sing higher or not and better or not depending on his mood. Maybe this was discussed in the 60s, but I don't think so, people didn't have access to every little live performance. Now it's like every performance is in front of the whole world. We could start a new thread, THE WORST LIVE VOCALS OF MACCA EVER Old Siam Sir live 1979I think you have some valid points here...Thanks for posting those vocals...

It's all personal preference.

Well if we keep in sight the fact that yes we do pretty much all agree that Paul is the greatest artist out there, then we should also be able to discuss the ups and downs of his career and accept that not everyone has the same perception of them and no one is right about any aspect of it. His career encompasses a lot of things. Some of us like most of it, some like some of it and some might only really like one particular phase of it. And all of it should be allowed. The only thing I believe is a given is that only one person can decide what is best for him and what he should or shouldn't do in the future and that is Paul himself. We don't have to agree with him, but it is his right and he's earned it the hard way.
GREAT POST!!!! His life, His choices,

Paul almost always plays it as if he played it in G but using a guitar tuned different than the most used tuning, so it sounds in F.

Macca Mad:
Unconditional love for Macca in everything he does, no matter what !!?? Thats hard enough to achieve with your nearest loved ones & kids, not a bloke you don' know No wonder he thinks they way he does if this is the line he's fed on a regular basis . And you can hear for yourself how un-fine he sounded, no need to rely on reports.
Exactly my point earlier, Macca Mad. I love Paul so much that I am honest about his shortcomings. He doesn't sound the same as he used to. He can't hit all of the high notes, or some notes consistently. This doesn't mean I don't like seeing him in concert, as I do. I know what I'm paying for, though, and I have an absolute blast when I see him. However, I don't want him doing more than a handful of shows a year, as he needs to save his voice for the studio where he makes the real magic. If someone if going to tell me that I'm not a real fan, or a good fan, because I'm being honest in expressing what I feel... :
I prefer him to touring in 2013 or 2014 if it helps him to make a new cd.
I'm only for him touring for as long as he's up for it. He loves doing it, that's obvious, and some folks still want to see him, that's also obvious. I don't like the idea of depriving a 70-year old of joy but I also don't want him putting his health at risk.
I'm one of these folks and yes he's happy touring. It would be perfect if he makes a new cd and starts touring again.
I'm with you. If he does the very low number of concerts per year he's been doing the past few years, and he spreads them out like he's been doing, I think he can still handle it.

Things are fine on here, people don't always agree , so what ? ! I love Press To Play but I know most Macca fans don't rate it highly at all, do I care? No. I love it & thats good enough for me. But I'm not gonna get up a height if people say its crap & say it's no where near as good as Ram for example, an album I find quite average. For me Macca should quit the live shows the way things stand, so I won't go & see him if he continues, some on here think he's as good as he ever was, they will see him, were all happy.

If people wouldn't get so upset about others being critical things would be fine!
