2013 Rehearsals
-
Anyone heard any confirmation that the band is rehearsing magneto and titanium man? I dont see this being a soundcheck song at all. If it is being rehearsed im sure its for the main show. I think it would be a fantastic addition.

Perhaps Paul needs them. At any rate, a new selection of tribute songs wouldn't be a bad idea.
Please don't quote just part of what I said, without including the other half! It's a bit of taking my overall statement out of context, and I don't like it.

Personally, I don't need anymore tributes, period. The fact that he continues to perform Beatles' music is already tribute enough. If he wants, he can dedicate a song, ala '89-'90: "I want to dedicate this to three mates of mine, George, Ringo & John...." and then promptly went into Fool On The Hill. I promise, nobody will take offense.
Secondly, I don't think he "needs" to do tributes. He managed his shows just fine without tribute songs in 1989-90, and again in 1993. John's been gone over 32 years now, and it's been over 11 years for George. We've healed. Those tributes take up valuable setlist space that could be used for something else. Like I said before (although you decided to omit from my earlier quoting, which makes me seen insensitive!), there's nothing wrong with a few brief words to acknowledge John and George.... but in my personal opinion, we don't really need two full tribute songs anymore.... Feel free to disagree..

I like the tributes. Personally I think they are needed.

No but I would LOVE it! I'd also love to hear this early Beatles number...

With this setup, I kinda feel bad for those who paid $2,000 per ticket, for the Front Row package.... since those seats are typically front row, but off to the sides.... That leaves a HUGE gap between their seats and the stage, based on this setup.
This had better not be the configuration for Memphis!!! We were told sections 1, 2, and 3 are in the front. I paid $1500 for Sec. 2, row D-WTF is going on?!!

No, that's Orlando. This is the floor in Memphis! Chill!

ops: Sorry, I just freaked out a little bit there. Been under a lot of stress lately (Dad broke his hip and it's been one thing after another since then, medical-wise.)

Sorry to hear that, hope things start to look up for you guys.

It seems Hope Of Deliverance will make it into the setlist of at least one of the concerts in Brazil. If he adds some songs from Wings Over America (Silly Love Songs, Listen To What The Man Said, Soily, Letting Go, Venus And Mars) and the other ones previously mentioned (All Things Must Pass, With A Little Luck, Cut Me Some Slack), this will be a truly unforgettable tour!

My thoughts is that he does these tributes mostly for himself. Yes, I also think in some way he does also do it for the fans, but I think the tributes to John and George are more for him than us. So while we all may "have healed" they were still his very dear friends.

I have been told that MJ Kim is upset about his pictures being shown without his permission.

I agree with you about the tributes. McCartney has paid respect to his late friends and does not need to do it every concert he performs. I don't hear him mentioning Linda McCartney at every show although everybody knows when he plays "Maybe I'm Amazed" or "My Love" it is about Linda.

I'm guessing that is why the pictures have disappeared from most places, but they are out now. I am a bit concerned about the platform part of the stage and being on the floor in Memphis. I hope it will be used like the hydraulic arm was used in 1993. I must be in the minority. I like the tribute songs. John, George and Linda were a major part of Paul's life. They tear me up and usually, at least one of the songs tears Paul up. While Paul may no longer mention Linda's name, the videos include their children and photos taken by her. It's definitely a tribute.

This is going to be Paul's best tour since he returned to the road in 2002!
Depends on his set list and the condition of his voice.
-
All this tour and rehearsal discussion is really exciting just a shame there's not a new album to go along with it (unless i missed the announcement about a release date somewhere). But still exciting stuff.
-
I think if there aren't some pretty good set list changes this time round the number of people left disappointed will be more than usual, there is a real buzz surrounding this tour and I do hope it isn't simply more of the same. I'm surprised that MJ Kim's pictures are still up in this thread considering they've been removed everywhere else!

I think it is exciting. Even though I am not attending any shows, I will be following the tour here and on other sites.

I have read that an interview with Paul will be broadcast tomorrow evening on Brazilian TV. It will last 10 minutes, during which Paul will discuss his upcoming tour, his next studio album and his memories of previous concerts in Brazil. That TV channel usually uploads their videos on their official website shortly after being broadcast. If that happens, I'll share the link, so that you can all watch it. http://g1.globo.com/fantastico/noticia/2013/04/paul-mccartney-lembra-da-ultima-passagem-pelo-brasil-em-entrevista.html

Oh not dissing the tour at all i just wish that there'd have been an album to go with it that's all,been far too long since a proper album but i suspect this tour will roll on for a good while so maybe when it comes to seeing him the new material is near
-
I'd prefer to have a new album ahead of the tour, but I won't mind at all, if he debuts a new song or two during the show, ahead of the album's release.... Didn't he play Follow Me in concert, prior to the C&C release?
