Just home from the concert. Incredible show. His vocals were excellent. Good energy throughout. Me and the Mrs. had a fantastic time. Good seats. Easy in and out in the parking garage. Just a great time from the moment we left the house till we left.

Incredible show. His vocals were excellent. Good energy throughout.
Guess that messes up the musings of those here who say he's a washed-up has been who can't sing anymore.

Just got back from the show, and MY GOD!! Beatle Paul is back! I have seen him twice before, and I have NEVER heard him sing this good. The croakiness has gone - his vocals had that sweet top edge back, and amazing on the rockers. He even has his "GET BACK voice back. Stunned by the quality of the show - he hit EVERY note - even the top C in Band On The Run. STUNNING!

OMG!!!!!! I just got back from Paul McCartney in Orlando concert and I am blown away totally! Went to the 2005 concert in Miami and thought he sounded good but THIS CONCERT, he was in PERFECT voice and OMG...it was SO AMAZING!!!! I'm speechless which is probably a good thing as I've about lost my voice!!!! PAUL ROCKS!!!!!

I agree! What was on your sign?

It said, "Peradventure an autograph?" It had red flashing lights so he picked up on it during soundcheck and during the show right after the first encore it wasn't loud, but loud enough for me to hear him say, "Oh! Peradventure!"

A very enjoyable show. My favorite show? No. But still memorable. The bad: Vocals on Maybe I'm Amazed. Oof. Really, really rough. The huge gap caused by the platform. It is as bad as everyone feared, and then some. More distracting than the huge gap, were huge camera cranes on both sides of the stage.... constantly flying around and blocking us. (i can only guess the show was being filmed, because nothing from those camera was being projected up on the onstage screens...) The good: Most of the setlist additions for this tour, I found quite pleasing. I didnt play any new samples in advance, so these were fresh to me. I actually liked the new version of LTWTMS. And one of my favorite moments was All Together Now, a song that most people on this site have criticized, but I thought it was a cool moment in the show. And Mr. Kite sounded really great, despite it being played for seemingly no reason. I was surprised he kept Hope Of Deliverance in, for the US. I really expected him to drop it, but I was wrong. I am hoping for maybe a couple of song swaps tomorrow, since he is known to do that for multi-night stands in the same city.

That's what ol' Audi likes to hear!!!

He definitely did not hit every note. Maybe I'm Amazed, his voice was particularly rough. And I'm not the biggest critic of his live voice. But MIA was difficult to defend. It seemed like halfway thru the song, they lowered his mic volume and buried it in the mix, so it wasnt so obvious. Also he had trouble holding certain longer notes. The long harmonized Paperback Writer parts, he fell out early... And he had a couple other bad cracks here and there..... like on "Bra!' in Obladi.... I'm sure there were other examples, but those stood out for me.... But in the overall big picture, he's still doing okay. A lot of other songs i was worried about, he nailed without any problems.

Can't wait for the next shew!

MaccaGirl90:
Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow!! I'll get a review and pics/video for tonight ASAP. Might just do both shows at once. LOVED EVERY MOMENT.

That sounds consistent with his voice for the past few years. He sounded better than he had been sounding in St. Louis in November and at the 12/12/12 Concert in December, but some songs, like MIA and PW, seem difficult for him these days. Just a fact of life. Still, though, not as bad as other musicians his age, and many much younger.

Yeah, Paul sounds fine for a 71 year old. He certainly does not sound as good as he did when he was 50, and it is unrealistic to expect that. And people who say he sounds as good are not facing the music. He looks great, I like the black jacket much better than the pink or blue on, and the basic white shirt looks better than the one with the black edges he wore in Brazil. IMO.

Very true. He can still hit some of those notes he nailed consistently back in the day, but he's not quite able to do that and do it every night these days. It's not a knock on Paul to say he doesn't always sound fantastic, it's just admitting reality.
