Paul McCartney 2012 Rumours
-
silly me,i thought we where talking about 'maybe im amazed'. :

This is ridiculous. For starts, this is the rumours thread, and it's being clogged up with this argument. But the bigger picture is...why are you even IN the Rock Show section, if you don't like what Paul does at his Rock Shows? :
surely a fan who has been to many concerts would still have a right to his opinion on pauls 'rock show'? unless you change the title of the topic to... '#for people who still think pauls rock shows are amazing only'

sorry folks 'maybe im amazed' was amazing e.t.c it actually worries me that anyone on here could think that.... p.s i actually find it hard to believe that the same person who sung those sublime vocals in 1969/70 is the same person who kids himself into think he can still sing it today. very sad.
I suspect you are the only one who is sad about this particular issue.
sorry to burst your bubble again but believe me the handfull of people on here that think paul can still sing this song are POSSIBLY the only few people in the whole world[macca fans or not] who would think this. be my guest,do your own market research and play a recent live version of paul singing 'maybe im amazed' to your family or friends. perhaps once you have gathered your results you could come back on this thread and offer me a slight apology ........[only joking about the apology!] well i fear my dear that its elementry clear that you cant see the trees for the forest
I remember you really liking Paul's vocal on "Letting Go" two summers ago at the Hard Rock Calling stream-cast. Do you think Paul is still capable of doing that?
apart from the crappy hofner bass i thought it was incredible..i really enjoyed it and it was easily my highlight at my last macca gig. shame he soon dropped it,but no real surprise.if he had written it 3/4 years earlier it would be a permanent fixture

I thought maybe i'm amazed in Liverpool last December was frankly spell binding,it was raw and hell even a little rough but the sheer feeling being pumped out from the stage was fantastic. We all know he'll never sound as good as he did back in the '70's,we're all experts on this and that but the brutal truth is this a McCartney on half power still blows most of the modern day "stars" out of the water. I thought he sucked big time at the jubilee and i have grave doubts over the Olympics too (not from a Macca standpoint,i just have a bad feeling its going to be woeful)i do hope there's a few Christmas gigs this years here in the UK but my gut is telling me we wont see him on tour till next year
It's always amazing when YOU ARE THERE in person. That is a given.
Yeah!!! you got that right!! Amazing!!
Yes when you are there in person, you get all caught up. But then when you listen back...to parts...

Gotta agree about the bass. While the Hofner CERTAINLY looks the part it doesn't have that heaviness that the Rick does and that Letting Go needed. Still, I'd MUCH rather have Letting Go with the Hofner than no Letting Go at all

My market research has already been done. McCartney played to sold out stadiums and arenas in Europe and Latin America this very year, with McCartney singing in "that" voice. So you lose. Yes, a few people out there agree with you. But 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999% do not. I'll make a wager with you. When McCartney retires because of some ridiculous comment you make on this forum about how he "kids himself" about how good or bad he sings, I'll apologize to you then. Until then, the numbers are on my side, not yours. In fact, I count about three people here who share your smug views, and a LOT more who share mine. There's some market research for you, mate!

Do you guys have Eric Clapton's 24 Nights live-album from '91? Its liner notes make it abundantly clear that what you hear is what was actually played on the stage -- no "overdubs or fixes," I believe is what it read.
-
I definitely agree that at the time, in the concert, your caught up in the magic that surrounds Paul and seeing him live. But listening back, you pick up more unfortunately. That's certainly not to say his vocals are shot, its just at his age it seems to suit a lot more of the rockier ones. Hence why Letting Go rocked
-
Can anyone here name other performers who at 70 years old do what Paul does live? Of course not. His voice is not what it used to be but it's darn good for his age and show lenght.

Your post says it better than I could ever say it!

We'll get it back on track. In fact, this is a good time to speculate that Paul will definitely be at Bonnaroo in 2013 -- performing not as Paul McCartney... ...but as The Fireman. Let's see if that catches on.
I'm quoting myself because I want this rumor to grow legs. Maybe it could become reality?

Exactly...it's not as if Paul has degenerated into this:

Does everyone actually think what that article said is true? That Paul is taking time out to "work on a new tour"(among other things) ? I really hope it's true, but it's creating too much suspense on something that could just turn out as a new tour name and virtually the same old setlist. If he's working on it, then he could at least revamp the setlist and also figure out where he hasn't been to play in a while.
If he hadn't cancelled Denmark, I would feel the way you describe. But I really do believe we are going to see a big change. Not just an "Up and Coming" to "On The Run"...I changed ten songs, change either.
I remember reading on the Steve Hoffman forums that Paul knows he has to revamp the setlist before he tours America again..

Not just the US, Europe too! He's toured that tired set as much in the UK as he has the US!! Long time no see Kisha, hope all is well!
