Paris, France - Accor Hotels Arena - May 30th - ARCHIVE
-
Look at the fun they are having... Same with the brand new and brilliant acoustic in the middle. It can be done. Fully rehearsed. Being fine-tuned during soundchecks. Gold in Germany. Not played in regular sets.

Just listened to a sample of 'Birthday' from one of the tapes, and I realised that after Abe Jr. ghosting more and more vocally, they now just decided to push his vocals all the way back in the mix...?!
I noticed the same thing and could have posted what you did verbatim.

Love watching the band teach him his own song! He seems quite reluctant to believe that the error was his but shrugs his shoulders at the end as if to say "well ok if you say so!"
I cannot believe he would ever say "sorry." And in public! But there it is...recorded. It is now on a loop so I can play it non-believers on my phone.

"Hope of deliverance", from the soundcheck !
Ok, here is a song he sounds great on, is upbeat and a hit for him. But he won't play it live in the main set.
However, he plays Four Five Seconds, an inferior song he sounds horrible on. Is anybody guiding this ship?? Thanks for posting that, it was fun!
Why not play to his own strengths? I'm just as puzzled.

Closer than close

They are re-re-rehearsing the song, going through it once again and are fine-tuning it! For what?
It would've been as easy as slotting soundcheck song 'Letting Go' back into the show. The new acoustic block is almost made for this setting. #13 in France, #9 in The Netherlands, #7 in Belgium, #5 in Switzerland, #4 in Austria, #4 in Norway, #3 in Germany, #1 in Spain. His last huge (and year end list making) hit single in The Netherlands (and surely elsewhere in Europe), his only and last top 10-hit since 'We All Stand Together' as well. Gold (250,000 copies) in Germany!

They went through the same rehearsal fine tuning as you call it at the Birmingham soundcheck from last year. Check it out on youtube. It's bloody mind boggling!

Possibly the song is played to please the people who pay $$$ for the soundcheck....

I know! If it's a brand new song they are trying to figure out to perform soon in a live setting, fair enough. But this I won't ever understand.

Do you think that "imprompru" conference after HOD is orchestrated to show the soundcheckers they are a working band? Could it be purely for show? (Serious question)

I'm pretty cynical these days, but I really can't believe that. If they wanted to act like that, McCartney would have countless of genuine options to do something like that. From a run-through of a yet unreleased song - 'Demons Dance', open-air Bonnaroo rehearsal - to a quick intro of a never performed song - 'Martha My Dear', private Budokan rehearsal - and everything in between.

One On One in Paris

My upload of the Paris Concert ( audio only ) :

He's sounding better.

He is. Dusseldorf and Paris found him in best voice so far on this tour. Hopefully that trend continues. Reality dictates he'll be up and down like newlywed's blinds.

Hasn't anybody remarked on Paul's, his band and his crew being very brave to play in Paris, after the unspeakable which occurred at a Paris concert and around the city just months ago? Which reminds one of the Orlando music club mass atrocities, with innocent youths being targeted, just out to enjoy themselves, have fun. Paul demonstrated similar courage in that big gig in Israel that time after receiving some terrorist threats--went right on and played anyway. I hadn't wanted him to, that time, was nervous. Anyways huge kudos to them for playing Paris. They helped the French feel better too and aided in their healing from the horrendous trauma.

There are more bands who did play Paris in the months after the attacks than bands who avoided the city. Can (and probably will) happen anywhere in Europe anyway, and not only in the months after, so the other option would have been not touring Europe ever again at all, anyway... But fair enough, there are quite a few acts (even someone very close to him) who did avoid Europe for that reason, and McCartney did the opposite and finally booked a full-blown European tour instead.

I deeply respect everyone that didn't let what happened stop them from touring, fear being one of their goals. The bigger acts unfortunately are more of a prized target so in my opinion are at even a bigger risk .
