Well, just got back home to BC after seeing the concert in Spokane on Thursday. We were on the floor/middle/row Y and was pretty good seats. Spokane is a quiet city tho!
Interesting to see the comments from the past few days. Some different perspectives! Have seen Paul 13 times and I did not have a ton of high expectations about the voice/setlist. I was just happy I could see him again;perhaps for the last time( or maybe not...lol) I noticed the voice was a bit weaker since I saw him in 2019, but it honestly did not bother me. I admire he is still putting it out there, but overall did not have a negative impact on me. I have seen shows of other artists like Lightfoot in the past where it was too noticeable on too many songs. The Band did a good job supporting him plus I thought the horns were involved in more of the songs this time around?
There was a coiuple of times where notes were missed by the band and they just smiled; it happens!
Setlist! I actually like Fuh You and Come on to me, but was surprised he played them. Overall, my preference would be to drop those 2 plus In Spite of the Danger, Queenie Eye, Mr Kite, Dance tonight. Also perhaps Letting Go and Let me Roll it. I liked Women and Wives and really liked You never give me your money and Bathroom Window..never seen that performed. My big take away was I've Got a Feeling. I thought that was outstanding and probably best time of the night. Not surprisingly, I have seen that clip on social media the most since then. My Valentine and Amazed is staying as they are for Linda and Nancy IMO.
Some of the same stories being told (lol) but he had a new one about being in a taxi and got the idea for "quit the police department" line..I think it is new? Also, he asked the women to scream like it is 1964..Loud! hadnt seen that before. Several of the people around us had not seen Paul before and blown away by playing that long. Live and Let Die was a showstopper. Guy next to me said he just texted a buddy saying Paul is 79 years old and playing this long??
I see some of the comments talk a lot about his voice and setlist and thats fine. Different opinion is ok!
2 hours and 40 minutes...36 songs..Saw Paul..sang along..had a couple of cold ones. Thumbs up!
