Paul McCartney review: As close to a Beatles gig as we'll ever get
Nice review! If you can see through all the junk on the Daily Mail webpage. The DM is so hard to read!

Relative to the smaller, 2 CD sets of Wildlife and RRS, does anyone know what TARGET is offering. They usually have great "sale" prices especially in the first days of official release. Thanks
Target did not carry Wild Life apparently. I guess it still has the stigma as McCartney's worst album. They only had RRS. Boo.
The real bonus is the "Reconstructed" 2-record set that it was originally going to be. Amazing melodies thoughout. It could arguably be the best album Wings ever made!

Get anything good?
The LA show offerings through the album presale were pretty awful.
Section TI209 which will be fine for me. I can't afford $700 for Soundcheck, though it would be awesome.

Anyone have trouble accessing the link to redeem the RRS double album mp3s? I just went back to my local record store to buy it, and even though I got the codes from yesterdays purchases to work last night, the link paulmccartney.com/redeem/rrs-double isn't working for me.
My RRS double album link and download codes also do NOT work. I couldn't find anyone to contact regarding it and don't even know who I should reach out to.
Mine did not work either. I sent an email to the paulmccartney.com webmaster to ask them to fix this. Hopefully they will get it fixed.
The link and the download is working today.

Has it really been 38 years?! Seems like yesterday. I was 25 and cried for 2 weeks.
It was a terrible time for me as well. That day seemed that all the Light and good had gone from the world. Yeah, it was beyond grief. I will never understand why there aren't stricter gun laws in the United States.

Drums are great, but who's on guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals?
The band's lineup includes Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp, Lee Harris of the Blockheads, Guy Pratt – who took over bass playing from Roger Waters on Floyd tours after Waters left– and Dom Beken, a collaborator of late Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright.
Wanted to update this to post that Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets will be doing a full blown North American Tour next Spring. As well as more U.K. dates!
The link to www.paulmccartney.com/redeem/rrs-double is not working. Several of us are unable to download our purchases.
Mods! Can you please contact someone about the Downloads problems on the Main website?

If they do fix it, please let me know. This is just really frustrating. I've never had a problem before.
It has not been fixed as of today.

I went back to my old Pizza Parlour and they had an old menu where a large Cheese pie was $2.00! Wasn't Woodstock tickets around $20.00?
Woodstock was $24.00 for all 3 Days (or $8.00 for a Single Day ticket)! I paid $8.50 to see Pink Floyd play Dark Side of the Moon, most of Wish You Were Here and more at L.A. Sports Arena in 1975, seated. Wings Over America tickets were $7.50 for General Admission (no seats on the floor) at Cow Palace in 1976. All those prices seemed high at the time. RIP George.

Can't you just get double cds for Red Rose Speedway and Wings Wildlife instead of the big box sets if you can't shell out that much? Those are two of my all time fave albums by him
SusyLuvsPaul, I just picked up RRS Reconstructed for under $30.00 at amazon.com. Double vinyl!
Double CD for $16.00 too! https://www.amazon.com/Red-Rose-Speedway-2-CD/dp/B07J3691L6/ref=tmm_acd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1544062768&sr=1-2

I see that No.10 best solo is George's live guitar solo on "Sweet Little Sixteen" from Hamburg 1962. Excellent sound. Is there a proper recording of the Hamburg days??? They really rocked out. Would love to hear all of it. (Not sure I agree with the top 10 in this particul list, but hey,....)
If by “proper” you mean in the studio, the answer is no. The only studio work they did was with Tony Sheridan (billed as The Beat Brothers because Beatles sounded too much like Peedles which in German is the plural of penis!)
The Live At the Star Club album was recorded on a home tape machine in 1962 and bootlegged in 1977.

Although the studio recording they did of My Bonnie with Sheridan has a killer guitar solo too! Not sure if that was Harrison though. Sheridan was a great guitar player himself.
It is on Anthology 1. Check in the album notes and see if they list who plays lead.
Good idea. It says Sheridan sang and plays lead, and Harrison played the opening lead guitar passage. With Paul on Bass and background shouts, with John Lennon and Pete Best also.

I wish he'd bring back some of the Beatles songs he only played for a short time like The Night Before, Another Girl, Your Mother Should Know, Things We Said Today, Here There and Everywhere, I'm Looking Through You, etc. He could really "freshen up" the set with some of these.
When did he ever play Your Mother Should Know live? I guess I missed that. I wish he would add Mother Nature's Son from the White Album for this tour.
I did notice that he seems to have listened to those who wanted more solo and less Beatles. I noticed the setlist is closer to 50/50 Beatles and Solo/Wings now. Solo fans here must be happy!
OK...it's more like 60/40...but still!
