Great Day was rehearsed yesterday in Cordoba, in 5:40 https://www.periscope.tv/w/1OwxWbldYXRJQ
It's nice but it's sounds awful, unfortunately he can't handle these high notes anymore
The link says 'expired' now...is this the same recording? If so, I think this is several years old
No, why would that be, haha. That's from a benefit gig in 2002. The stream was live from the (open-air) rehearsal in Argentina this weekend:
Feat. chatty commentary on lead vocals... This is one of those songs he fell back on at many points through the decades since the 70's, and the band just jams along, doesn't say much about a potential new addition. -

I know I'll be steering clear of any pro shot footage from this tour. It's guaranteed to sound absolutely horrendous. No doubt whatsoever.
I don't know about that. They pitch-corrected the hell outta' his vocals for the Tokyo 2013 HD thing. And he wasn't sounding too great then, either. Of course, Autotune can do only so much, especially considering the current condition of his voice. It broke my heart to hear McCartney struggle through yesterday's soundcheck of "Great Day."

What about "pro-audio"? Is there any good recording of the new additions on this tour?
The recording of the first night of Vancouver is great.
Can you please post a link? Thanks!

Don't think that's appreciated over here. Google what you think you should Google and add "FLAC/AUD".

I beg to differ. I was at each of the 3 Tokyo shows (and 2 soundchecks) in 2013 and he sounded sensational. Definitely among my top 10 McCartney concerts.

Well, I can definitely agree with ya' on that Cordoba pro-shot sampler. Ouch.

I would be surprised if there will be a lot of pro-shot material from this tour indeed: http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2687212728/

No problem! I still got the idea. Wow!

Sounds like he's in awful form in Cordoba. And by some accounts the audience is bored stiff.
Check my post on the Cordoba concert thread, which I've attended last night.

What happened to the Paul McCartney who refused to play Beatles songs on his 1972 UK Tour? The real fans want that live Paul back. Instead, he looks like Elton up there on stage rehashing the past singing the oldies...

That bloke is long gone. This one is touring a Vegas lounge act. And he'll keep doingit until his voice is a whisper.

Dont' hate me, I love the man, but the setlist is a bit of a snoozer. I dont know why he has these rules it seems where he wont change things up a bit. Maybe I'm in the minority but I dont like the NEW album with the exception of a couple of songs. Definitely his weakest output IMHO since Off the Ground. But I understand he needs to promote it. Here's what I'd like to see: Eight Days a Week -Doesnt sound right without John. I Saw Her Standing There would be a perfect opener Save Us -Awful, but it aint going anywhere. All My Loving -Beaten to death, but acceptable Listen to What the Man Said -ZZZZZZZ- replace with Silly Love Songs Let Me Roll It/Foxy Lady -Needs to go bye bye. How about the forgotten Cant Buy Me Love?!?!? Paperback Writer -Adios. Bring back Jet My Valentine -ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ- Anything but thos Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five -KEEP! The Long And Winding Road -ZZZZZZZZZZZZ- How about C'moon or Let em In, even. Maybe I'm Amazed -He's had trouble with this since 89. How about Hold Me Tight?? I've Just Seen a Face -Ok, but I'd prefer Hop of Deliverance We Can Work It Out-Ok Another Day -OK And I Love Her -Meh. How about Mother Natures son or Rocky Racoon Blackbird -Keep Here Today -Adios! NO MORE TRIBUTES! Put It There would be great! New -Keep Queenie Eye -Not my fave, but it aint going anywhere Lady Madonna -C ya. You Never Give ME Your $$ would be better All Together Now -Sayonara- Bring back Getting Better Lovely Rita --Fair at best Everybody Out There -Keep Eleanor Rigby -Time to dump it. Ever Present Past shoud take its spot! One After 909 -Nope. Two of US would be better Something -Sorry Georgie, but its gotta go. Replace with Follow Me Obladi Oblada -OK Band on the Run -OK Back in the U.S.S.R. -OK Let It Be -OK Live and Let Die -OK Hey Jude -duh Day Tripper. -OK Hi Hi Hi -OK -two girls on stage- Get Back -NO!! Throw a curve and stick in Lonely Road from the UNDERappreciated Driving Rain Yesterday. -OK Helter Skelter -Doesnt sound good live. Bring back Pepper Golden/Carry/The End-Cool What do you think. It would still be a VERY hit friendly show! Oh yeah, replace Mr Kite with Penny Lane.
After more than two years and many posts, I will submit my final one of this subject. All the wishing and hoping is over and unfortunately many wonderful songs from 1982 to the present will never be heard live. I will remember fondly tours like 1989 when Mr. McCartney showcased six songs from his latest CD at the time called "Flowers In The Dirt". He even opened with "Figure of Eight" and stated in interview that it was done because he wanted to show the world he was still a relevant artist. Sadly, that type of attitude disappeared as we entered the new century. I can only guess as to why his concerts started to become more of an oldies show year by year. Maybe it was the death of Linda, maybe it was just he just enjoyed playing Beatle songs, maybe his ego needed to be stroked after every song or maybe it was all about money.

I think you nailed it with your last sentence.

Speaks volumes that so far what's generated the most buzz was the one off Let's Go Crazy surprise. If he even did the following, it would engender so much more genuine intetest and buzz... Remove Save Us and replace it with Junior's Farm. Scrap Here, There and Everywhere, Fool On The Hill and Maybe I'm Amazed, all of which he cannot sing, and replace them with Wings or Solo. In the back end rotate songs through the Back In The USSR slot. These are not impossible to do. I say again, too much same from the last tour and even the new additions are pretty pedestrian. In Spite Of All The Danger again? I mean...seriously, come on. That's either seriouslylazy or he's taking the piss.
