I know it's hard to tell from Youtube clips but Paul's voice seems to be in really bad shape at the moment. It has been for a few years now if we're being honest but things seem particularly bad at the moment. Hopefully it's just a rough patch.

I was there last night and for the first time in recent memory he did not tell the Jimi Hendrix story! The usual set list but Four Five Seconds was the full song althoughhe croaked his way through it. Sounded and worked much better a LOLLA as a snippet. Everyone says he croaks his way through Maybe I'm Amazed and last night was no exception but now hearing it on Band On The Run and Live and Let Die. Hope last night was an off night voice wise. Next stop for me Buffalo
UNBELIEVABLE about NO Jimi Hendrix story. Here's Four Five Seconds.

That actually worries me quite a lot.....Paul would NEVER forget a piece of the show. Could you imagine the panic if he had actually skipped a song?!

Have read glowing, ecstatic accounts of concert goers to this show, on other sites, they really loved the show
Gee! Imagine that!

Another great show. I loved when he did the "We are". We are so spoiled to have such a showman and legend still performing at this level. Might I add that I love when its the girls turn to sing "Nah nah nah, Hey Jude". There is something so sweet about it. Evidently Penn State loved him too. Here is an article written by someone with fresh ears who hasn't seen him a bunch of times . http://www.statecollege.com/news/local-news/paul-mccartney-fires-up-the-bjc-crowd,1465768/
Spoiled?? I paid to see him every time I have attended his concert. He did deliver though!

It was a little rough at times but other times WOW

"UNBELIEVABLE about NO Jimi Hendrix story" Yeah, about time. Now if he can forget the bit about George loving the ukulele - lol.

He did the Kanye-verse?! That's amazing. That one time he does something daring in his sets... Classic how it took us - well, at least me - a few days to realise he did more than just a verse in a 'medley' with 'We Can Work It Out', that's how unrewarding it is to follow the tours from the sideline.

I was so fortunate to have had a front row seat at Bryce Jordan and do the sound check. It was an awesome night. Paul saw my bright pink sign that said "Only Thing Missing on My Arm is Paul McCartney". In between songs - off mic - he looked right at me and said "Do you want me to sign you?" off course I nodded yes. I kept waiting for Brian to come get me with the other two lucky fans. But it never happened. I know in the big scheme of life, this certainly isn't a tragedy - but I gotta say, my heart is still sunken. I keep looking at the youtube videos but of course most of them cut off right after the end of songs - I figure if I didn't get signed, as least I could have the exchange on video. It was so awesome to have had that seat - makes me want to make the drive to Buffalo!

My second time seeing Paul live and it was, as expected, absolutely fantastic. Different set list from the first Out There gig I saw in Brooklyn. I loved the mix of songs...really did a great job of "covering all the bases". The band was just fantastic, as always and really seemed to be having a great time. While the show was truly in the middle of nowhere, I am so happy that I made the trip. Already looking forward to 2016 and my third show. A friend of mine works for the Prudential Center in Newark (10 miles from where I live) and told me that he heard a rumour of a May show. Hopefully that will turn out to be more than a rumour.

I failed to mention as well as not telling the Jimi Hendrix story he did not do the back story to PaperBack Writer either. All he said was "you might be wondering why we are changing all these guitars between songs-because we like to show them off" Then started Paperback. I noticed too he was looking at the teleprompter quite often; more so than any of the other shows I have seen him. Based on Toronto reviews I am reading-going to chalk this up to an off night

Just thought I'd share my photos from this show. They aren't as sharp as my previous ones, since I was in the 18th row and did not want to ruin anyone else's show by holding the camera up ... just waited until all the heads in front of me moved the right way. I got a few fun shots anyway! https://www.flickr.com/photos/31264961@N02/albums/72157660215423985 Loved this show and the whole day ... it was great to be back in my once-but-brief-hometown. I continued on to the show in Toronto and home for around 1,200 miles on the road. Both shows were a joy, couldn't have been a nicer trip.

Could be because he flew in right before the concert. I'm sure that throws off a person quite a bit! Different mindset being "on the run"!
