Paul McCartney?Anfield Liverpool Sound Concert (Running commentary while listening on the radio) 1. Hippy Hippy Shake: What an interesting choice for a concert opener. A nod to the Live at the BBC shows! Wow, we might get a ?new? show. 2. Jet: This one is NOT a surprise. This always been the 2nd or 3rd song to open a Macca show. My wife thinks he has always sung the line ?Jet? a bit off-key. No difference here, but always good to hear. 3. Drive My Car: Gosh, I?m sick of this one, but I guess it keeps up the show?s energy better than ?Flaming Pie.? 4. Flaming Pie: Oops, spoke to soon. A little different than previous concert versions, with harmony vocal in response to the lead vocals at the end of the song (but pretty standard take, nonetheless). 5. Got to Get You Into My Life: OK, let try to get the crowd pumped. 6. Let Me Roll It/Foxy Lady: Arghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, he says everyone wants to hear the hits. When, exactly, was this a hit? What is wrong with him? If you think the show needs this kind of groove, bring back ?Letting Go? or something else like it. 7. My Love: Shaky vocals. At this point, the number of Wings/solo songs are greater than Beatles tunes. Shocking. 8. CMoon: And now he?s telling the stupid story behind this lame song. Talk about just sucking the air out of the place. With his catalog, he pulls this out for this type of big show???? 9. The Long and Winding Road: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 10. Dance Tonight: Nice version of this song. Thus begins the acoustic section of the show 11. Blackbird: He really struggles with this one. Doesn?t anyone have the guts to tell him he can?t pull this off anymore? 12. Calico Skies: This is a good ?un, that he sings well. 13. Spent my early life in Liverpool (Not sure if this is the title??): New song, primarily driven by acoustic guitar and accordion. Ringo?s ode to Liverpool was much better. 14. I?ll Follow the Sun: Does the same false ending, three times (the last one sung in a kinda boozy voice. Kinda inspiring me to start drinking heavily as well) 15. Eleanor Rigby: He?s going through the motions now. 16. Something: Did you know that George was a really good Ukulele player? Does he really think anyone in the crowd hasn?t heard this story before? Unbelievable. 17. Penny Lane: Stops the song after the first line, so he can start over and ?get it right.? Wow. How original! Wait, the song is over and now he?s inviting a special guest to the stage. Could it be Elvis Costello? Ringo? No, it?s Mr. Dave Grohl. Now, that is worth the price of admission. 18. Band on the Run: This is for the Wings fans out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 19. Back in the U.S.S.R.: So much for the Wings fans out there. 20. Live and Let Die: Please, bring Olivia and Yoko on stage to sing backup vocals. Do something different?. anything. The sheep are cheering though. 21. Let it Be: At this point, I think I?d like to go watch Hillary Clinton?s Puerto Rico victory speech. I expect more surprises there. 22. Hey Jude: Great, the bathroom break song. Seriously. OK, he?s left the stage, but I?d like to predict the encore. ?I saw here standing there? and ?Yesterday.? No reason to go out on the limb here. The BBC commentators are praising the show as spectacular. The guy is saying he has never seen anything like the pyrotechnics that accompanied ?Live and Let Die?. OK, so there was someone there tonight that has never seen a Paul McCartney show. 23. Yesterday: He still sings this one well. 24. A Day in the Life/Give Peace a Chance: Well, I guess that?s what he meant by ?a few surprises.? Oh my God..he screwed up the words in the bridge. He caught the bus in seconds flat twice (and mumbles a couple of unrecognizable words as well)!!! No wonder he never does anything new. He?s so shaken by that screw up that he?s not even going to finish the song, rather he?s now made a clumsy transition into ?Give Peace a Chance.? 25. Lady Madonna: Mentions the screw up to the song?s lyrics for a Day in the Life before launching into Lady Madonna. How embarrassing. Dave Grohl is back. How exciting. 26. I saw her standing there: Goodnight!
Oh dear God in heaven, that exact show would be the crowning moment of my life. No problem there whatsoever. Indeed, whatever he wants to play, is a-ok with me.
