Oh, and wasn't there an article posted here earlier that said Paul was on the roof of El Capitan for the concert? WTF?

Wow. Paul really rocked last night!! I think the background with the multicolored lines from the album's cover was totally awesome. I hope this becomes a regular feature on the upcoming "Out There" shows. The interview was also pretty good. He was funny, casual, and natural, which is always fun to see. The only rough patch for me was that the sound quality for the two songs aired on tv was terrible, but on the stream everything sounded fine. Paul was even better last night than he was on Saturday's iHeartRadio performance! I already liked the new songs before, but now I'm dying to buy them and have to deal with the frustration that they're not available yet... (Is it even possible to get withdraw before an album even drops? :lol Initially, I liked both a lot, but found "Save Us" to be leaps and bounds better than "Everybody Out There," but recently - and especially after last night's performance - "Everybody" has been really growing on me. After a bit, something about it reminds me of "Hope of Deliverance" (though the parallel with "Mrs. Vanderbilt" seems much more prevalent). While "Save Us" is more instantly appealing and direct, "EOT" seems to be hypnotically addictive and creeps up on you, much like the atmosphere that night. For some reason, when Paul finally climbed the stairs on the stage to play "Let it Be" on the piano, he seemed less like a mere mortal and more like a powerful icon sitting on a thrown. Maybe it was the story that he shared in the interview about the time he got emotional singing the song which, in turn, made me more conscious of the moment. He just seemed so powerful up there, literally looking across a sea of people who blocked off traffic and put their lives on pause - with short notice - to hear him play for an hour. He wasn't just some wealthy musician singing a familiar classic: he was a legend singing the songs he wrote himself. The songs were more like spells and the seemed to have everyone mesmerized. It felt truly like (modern) McCartney mania! (I feel like such a fanboy saying this stuff :lol This was so worth getting only three and a half hours sleep! Can't wait for the 15th!!!
Mr. Spock, That was one of the best reviews of a Paul show I've ever read. I'm happy that you were there. Watching the entire set on the stream, you could see that Paul was on the top of his game. You could almost feel that the audience was mesmerized. Playing right on a street is right down Paul's alley. He seemed so relaxed talking and waving to the crowd. I loved it when he told the audience what was to go down....that 2 of the songs were going to be on TV but you (the audience) are going to hear many more songs (something like that). I loved it when he was waving to the fans in the back and in the hotels etc. He just seemed like he was at home. He is so much better when he plays a real concert and interacts with the fans as opposed to doing one of these big events and plays a song or two. He needs to get warmed up for a song or two and then he gets better and better. By the way, I loved the rockers especially...Juniors Farm, Jet, Birthday, Band on the Run, Back in the USSR etc. His vocals were great. Also loved the new songs.

I've been going over the interview in my mind, and remembering how Paul mentioned "Carnival of Light" as being an unreleased track the "deep" fans would like to have released. And the "hmmm....maybe; we'll see" type of look he gave after Kimmel said yes, he'd like to hear the "20 minutes of weirdness." Maybe he's thinking about it? Was great to hear him bring it up at all.
I could be wrong, but I thought it was Paul that wanted to release it but some of the other decision makers (mainly Olivia/George) didn't want it to be released.

Correct. It has to be a four-way decision. It was surprising to hear it come up in an interview. Jimmy really asked the right questions.

Granted, 95% of his questions were Beatle-related.

Kimsey:
The whole concert is on youtube at last!
thanks for the link
-
Watching the Dime version right now, excellent show, voice is a lot higher in the mix than on the iHeart recording. New songs sound better as a result...or I'm getting used to them, hehe... Macca is pretty mind blowing on Birthday, how the heck does he play that intricate bass line and sing at the same time, and the guy is 71, just wow...
-
T hanks for the link Just watched it through....a great great show....and bless him having to read the "teleprompter" throughout Let It Be.....loved it!!

Question. Is part of this McCartney's fault? I always thought that a host would ask a in a pre-interview what the guest would like to talk about in the interview. I am sure if the McCartney team asked Kimmel to concentrate mostly on the upcoming record he would have obliged.

Good question.

A good interviewer would never "rehearse" an interview. That just makes it phony. I'm sure Kimmel asked the questions he thought people would want to know. Besides, Paul's been at this for 50 years. He doesn't need coaching from his "team".

I actually do think there is at least a list of subjects that are ok to discuss & ones that are off limits. (divorce, family, etc)

Paul walked out on a press-conference in '06 or '07 when a reporter refused to oblige the stipulations of what topics could be discussed. Paul said, "OK -- I see we're not going to stick to the script." And abruptly left. Homie don't play 'dat.

Yes of course there are limits and a good interviewer knows that. A press conference is a different matter than a TV interview anyway, and there's a difference between a good interviewer and a reporter. Reporters are often idiots. Those were personal, private matters and the reporter should have known better than to make Paul mad.
