Anyone who's been by the "Gas! (gasoline") thread knows I'm a big electric vehicle fan. But I think it's time to say that if you value civil rights, the climate and your LGBTQ friends and neighbors, please do not buy a Tesla. There are plenty of alternatives! And yes, I wrote a few words about this recently.
My brother got me this set as an early Christmas present. I haven't listened to the Sessions CDs yet, just the main album and the Paperback Writer/Rain single. I have a decent stereo, though definitely not state of the art, and I can certainly hear the difference. Sometimes it's a little jarring, actually, but you can definitely hear specific instruments way more clearly. I'm about halfway through the book that comes with it, which is really fascinating.
What this does overall is remind me what a jaw-droppingly great album "Revolver" is. The artistic distance they traveled in just 3 years is mind-boggling. Oh, and the U.S. version that Capitol first gave us is an abomination.
@njr I'm not leaving, but I confess I don't look forward to visiting as much as I used to. While this version of the site has some good features, the overall interface is just dreadful. Paul should just send his team over to Steve Hoffman's message boards and say, "Copy this!"
I must say I hate the new interface so much I'm visiting the board less. Even as I get more used to it I still hate it.
@oobu24 I'm a dissenter re: "Beware My Love." Yeah, it rocks, but it's just such a generic jealous-boyfriend song I find it utterly boring. Paul's done so many rockers that are way more fun and interesting.
Paul's current band is at least as good as any incarnation of Wings ever was, so ... no.
@njr Thanks, Nancy. That's so not intuitive. I still think Paul needs a new web team.
So am I missing something? One can order the posts in a thread from oldest to newest or vice versa, but is there a way to read them from oldest to newest but skip to the end, or to the first new post since you last visited? If so, I haven't figured out how.
@yankeefan2 said in A Completely Impossible Set List:
@bruce-m We could all come up with a great set list we would have loved to see him do when his voice was much stronger. Sadly, Paul had no desire to ever try most of the excellent songs you mentioned. As for "Oh Darling", it was done only because Chrissie Hynde requested it and thankfully, she did most of the singing. Paul is 80 now and any further performances will follow his same pattern. It is nice though to still have dreams of what he could have done live, oh well -lol
For sure, he could never pull off Oh! Darling! solo now. The duet worked because Hynde did the heavy lifting. But it's fun to dream.
