Erg omslachtig werkt dit messageboard. Steeds moet ik zoeken naar deze thread en dan staan de oudste posten vooraan. We zijn denk ik verwend door het werken met Facebook.
Nadat we in 2017 moesten wennen aan een nieuwe MaccaBoard, hebben ze nu in 2022 dus weer een nieuwe versie ervan gemaakt. Is iemand van de oude garde hier nog actief? Of is iedereen overgeschakeld op FB en Instagram?

RE: Pinkpop, The Netherlands - Sunday 12 June - ARCHIVE

And while the Dutch forums are by now thinking he should've gotten an hour long spot during the afternoon and the social media bullshitters are still going off, a spot-on **** review by a newspaper with knowledgable music journalists: http://www.volkskrant.nl/muziek/paul-mccartney-op-pinkpop-onvergetelijk-en-ontroerend~a4319280/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shared%20content&utm_content=paid&hash=6f606ae9fc0bdcaabf619e209b092dd1edc4387e
Huh? Background singers who helped Paul singing the difficult songparts? Abe is singing along with Paul, there were no other backgroundsingers. "verklaart zijn liefde nog even aan zijn huidige vrouw ?n een paar exen" Don't know what the journalist knows about Paul's life. I know that Paul was married to Linda, his ex Heather and now to Nancy. So why writing about a few ex-wifes?

Thanks...I'll stop with the requests for translations now! Seems the Twitter translator struggles with Dutch much more than Spanish and French. I hate to see Paul getting a rough time on social media.
This Tweets are from people that are not Pauls' fans. His faithful fans know he can do better. Also: Dutch people are known for being honest and maybe rude on Twitter. ops:

In 'In Spite Of All The Danger' his voice is sounding better than at the start of the concert.

He's almost 74 and its LATE at night, outside in the humidity....I dare any of you to live that old and try to sing under those conditions.....I'm going on 71, so I sure understand!!!
If that's the problem than he wouldn't have accepted this gig. There are people in de audience that are not his regular fans. They are critical on his performance and voice. His fans, who has seen him in concert before know that he can do better. These people don't know this and expect a great concert as Paul is the head liner of this festival.

Just broadcast: the entrance, 90 seconds of AHDN', the Dutch addressing of the crowd and 90 seconds 'Can't Buy Me Love'.
How did he sound on the broadcast?
His voice was not good, the rest was OK.

Just got a paper copy of the newspaper. It's a very good interview IMO, the first part is really interesting in general, especially where Paul speaks about his children and grandchildren. Quite a gesture imo that he allows a regional newspaper an interview for half an hour (remember this is not a national newspaper and readership is limited). One of the interviewers is a long time fan, which may have helped with the quality of the interview and the fact that the interview was longer than planned. Honestly, I don't understand the negativity around here. Pinkpop is a BIG happening in Holland, tenthousands of people a looking forward to it, newspapers and local TV can't stop talking about it, yet here on the forum we have two grumpy members trying to spoil the party by boring everybody with "ticket sales are poor", "heard his story before", "silly idea of All you need is love", etc. etc. etc. What have you done for the world yourselves, boys ?? Whose party are you trying to spoil ? Or is it the fact that you are not able to go to Pinkpop yourselves ? One thing I know for sure, which is that it is gonna be big fun, even if his voice is not optimal, even he plays the same songs. The fact is that many people are looking forward to seeing a legend playing live at Europe's oldest festival. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.....really, this is getting silly and VERY predictable (even more predictable than Paul's stories on stage )

RE: Dusseldorf, Germany- Esprit Arena- May 28th - ARCHIVE

I agree that it's nitpicking if people complain about things which are part of the game: a concert hall being crammed up with people, or nosebleed seats not having a perfect view or sound, or a rock and roll concert being loud, or having to wait a few minutes for a beer for a mass event. But this are complaints about the most crucial part of what people are paying for. If they can't get the part of the sound of a concert together, then they shouldn't have picked that place/that equipment. For me personally, a 200 euro ticket for an almost 3 hour long concert has to guarantee you of the main thing you are paying for and want to enjoy: at least proper sound. If that's not possible in this stadium, then it shouldn't have been organised at the place. It must have been particularly bad, because I can't remember one McCartney gig with awful sound, not even at the places famous for it. They have their own rig, and they fix things. I wonder what happened.
I bought my tickets through the presale on PaulMcCartney.com. As soon as I entered the presale they offered tickets that I accepted, not knowing that I was in a section that was that far away from the stage and were it wasn't possible to watch the backscreens of the stage. IMO seats like these shouldn't be offered just to get as many people as possible inside the venue.

? That's reality. Folks with no agenda offering objective opinions. The cloying fawning, gushing and swooning around here is called nostalgia. Some folks look at Paul today and still see the poster on their bedroom wall from their teenage days. Others are overcome by being in the presence of their hero; or see an elderly man still sounding great "for 74." Being caught up in the afterglow is why fans still went to latter day Judy, Elvis and Sinatra and insisting they were still great and probably why that delusional bunch thought Wacko was a normal, beautiful, faultless human being. Fandom alters the reality.
de gustibus non est disputandum. Art and music are not objective. It's all just opinions. And opinions are like arses: everyone has got one. 90% of the fun for me is seeing Paul and his enthusiasm and charisma. Nothing wrong with that. I had one of the best evenings of my life (despite the sound and the fact that I have had much better seats at other concerts). I know the songs, heard them thousands of times. Can even play them on expensive equipment if I want. That's not the point. Even if sound and singing were completely perfect, there are artists I never would want to see live. It's all in the mind, y'know, just like the rest of your life... So people drive for hours to go to a concert at a football stadium (which Esprit Arena is), and then in retrospective start complaining about the sound ???? Really, that's quite unbelievable.... Why are we going to a museum to see a bowl or a ring or a knife that is 500 years old ? I have better ones and newer ones at home. On the other hand: anyone is entitled to give their opinion, but don't spoil the party with negativity. Don't condemn or ridicule fans because they enjoy theirselves. I fawn, gush, swoon or whatever when I feel like it,.. Still, the big acts are commercialised, seats are terribly expensive, as are drinks at the venue and merchandise. But if you see through that, you can have a wonderful experience imo.
But the sound was much more better in the case of the two amsterdam gig's last year (we both visited) Isn't it : IMO the disappointment of some fans is perspicuous.
NO the sound in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam was perfect. In the Esprit Arena was the sound a mess. It started with the dj mixing Paul's songs, terrible to listen to. I hoped the sound would be better during the show but it wasn't. This was my 8th gig of Paul and the worst comparing the sound.

Yea, I remember when I saw him in K?ln in 2011, he spoke quite a bit of German too. At the end of the show, he took LP covers from two people in the first row to sign those and said: "Schnellimbiss." During each show Paul speaks a bit of the language of the country he is in, but since he really speaks a little bit of German, the German shows get more of it. I am really looking forward to hearing his German in Berlin in two weeks.
True, the Schnellimbiss thing in Cologne was great. This time it was "Zwei Frikadelle" (a kind of sausage). He also quoted "Jakob der Rabe war der frechste aller Voegeln der ich jeh gesehen habe", some German sentence he learned at school ("Jakob the Raven was the cheekiest of all birds that I've ever seen"). He told this one in Cologne as well, and in a recent interview for German radio. He also said he knows more German words that he learned in Hamburg, but that can not be said ("Slechtes Deutsch", "I know the words and you know the words").
Thanks for "Jakob der Rabe"! It didn't make any sense to me neither to my German neighbour.

Love is Paul:
Wow, what a wonderful evening, what a wonderful experience! Before the concert I was starting to get worried because of all the critical comments about Paul's voice here on the forum. However, luckily, there was no need to worry at all! Paul was in fantastic shape, his singing was fantastic! Paul should definitely keep performing - he is absolutely incredible. I noticed that the sound at the Arena was not really fine - there was some kind of echo, but they adjusted it in the course of the evening. At my seat (10th row) the sound was good. I really would like to thank the people in D?sseldorf - they were all in a party mood: as soon as Paul arrived on the stage, everyone around me got up - and we all danced, clapped and sang along for the whole concert. It was my eighth McCartney-concert in 23 years, and there were some "concert moments" in D?sseldorf that I will treasure forever: *) Paul arriving on stage and the standing ovation *) The intro of "Here, There and Everywhere" (I thought he was going to Play "The Long and Winding Road", but then he accompanied HT&E on piano!) *) His acoustic guitar solo on "In Spite of All the Danger"and the "Oh-oh-oh-oh"-part *) Paul's wonderful vocal performance of "Queenie Eye", "New", "Blackbird", "I've Got a Feeling" and "We Can Work It Out" (which sounded much better than e.g. three/five/six years ago) *) Paul's jokes and German language bits (ordering food: "Gem?seplatte"!) *) The extended jam of "Foxy Lady" *) Meeting Rusty (at the Restaurant "Zum Schiffchen") and Wix (on the street) the day after the concert. Both were incredibly friendly and gave us autographs. THANK YOU! WOW!! ...and there were many more fantastic moments Here are some links to News articles, etc. THANK YOU PAUL!

Can you explain the "ordering food" story? Thanks! (I understand it means "vegetable plate" but what was the joke/story?)
Sure! Instead of the "Did you know that George was a great ukulele player..."-story before playing "Something" Paul explained (in English) that he had learned a little bit of German at school and that only he and George knew some words in German and were able to order food for the Beatles during the early Hamburg days. And then he imitated the way they would order food: "Zwei Frikadellen (meat balls), bitte. Gem?seplatte!"It was not really a joke, but it was a nice little anecdote - and people enjoyed it and laughed. After the song "Something" he said something like: "Thank you, George, for writing this wonderful song!" - and the crowd reacted enthusiastically. I thought it was a really fantastic performance of the song - with harmony vocals and all. I had heard him play the song several times before - but this time it seemed really special - and one of the final pictures on the screen was a photo of George, Paul and Ringo in 1995 which I had not seen before (Paul without sunglasses). Anyway, sorry for digressing.
He told about learning German in school and had a little poem. I didn't understand what a said. Did you? :
