experienced concert-goers: if the official time on the concert is 8:00 PM, when is the first note of the first song most likely to be played?
I want to get to the Winnipeg show but it's 6 hours away and I don't know if this is feasible.

I took a quick look at the track list, and it looks like there are no recordings I wouldn't already own on CD, with the exception of Hope For the Future. Would someone please kindly confirm this is correct? (I own all the albums including either the bonus track or bonus disc version where applicable)
Saskatoon Winnipeg Calgary Edmonton Minneapolis Denver Vancouver Boise Seattle Portland Those are my preferences, in order. I'll settle for any of these ten.
I held off thinking that there would be another show in either Winnipeg, Minneapolis, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton or Calgary. Anyone want to take a stab at the odds that I am right?

Very tempted for this one but I wish I knew where else he was heading before tickets go on sale monday!
Exactly. I'm way over in Regina. I'd consider going that far to see him but I'd feel pretty silly buying tickets only to find out a week later he's going to Winnipeg too. And to those wondering... Yes, he definitely played mull in Edmonton, I was there.
Christ, I thought you said "18 month old daughter" and I would have cried myself! It's a good thing I re-read it.
The BOTR bonus disc is redundant to me. Worth a separate listen from time to time, but not something you'd play along with the album usually. Ram and McCartney 2... those bonus discs are awesome. They essentially turn those into cohesive double albums, and I've always listened to them that way.

Maybe not threadworthy on its own, but I thought it was worth mentioning that when Paul came to Regina back in August, my little brother was the personal bartender to Paul and his entourage after the show up in their room at the Hotel Saskatchewan.
And........details man!
I asked him again since it had been a while since we talked about it. I guess he didn't really get much chance to interact with anyone, just mix drinks. He mentioned that Paul was drinking "these big martinis that couldn't have possibly tasted good, there was nothing but alcohol in them".

looks like the ones I don't have that are mentioned in this thread are: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother Tropic Island Hum All Of Me Blue Sway [Richard Niles orchestration] (is this not the one from Macca II?) The Voice where should I look for these songs?
Found these on amazon; some of them are quite expensive now! He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother Tropic Island Hum Blue Sway is indeed from the remastered McCartney II album. All Of Me The Voice
found them on amazon, as in, found the discs from which the songs originate?
Just click on the links in my post!
I got "He Ain't Heavy" and "All Of Me" from iTunes, but it depends if you want physical media or not!
typically I do, but not just for one song.
oh, thanks. I thought this review was funny:
You know how sometimes you do something for your wife becuase she's your wife and you really don't want to? Like going to see a girl movie or clothes shopping? But you do it anyway because you love her? That's Paul and this CD.

I don't think anyone really thinks vegetarianism will "save the world" but it can make a difference. Considering the resources needed to produce meat, I'd like to see a real analysis of the difference in "carbon footprint" or whatever other metric of impact between a local steak and a foreign fruit. I don't think it is as simple as "one is foreign, one is local", anymore than it can be broken down as "one is meat, one is not". A few other things I noticed: - "A vegetarian diet ? and especially a vegan diet ? does not provide for the long-term maintenance and repair of the human body. So vegetarians are on drawdown of their biological reserves. " - then why are there lifelong vegans who are doing just fine? How are there vegan bodybuilders? - "Specifically, agriculture is biotic cleansing. It requires taking over entire living communities and clearing them away, then planting the land for just humans. All of that is a long way of saying ?extinction.? None of us can live without a place to live, without habitat. An activity that has destroyed 98% of most animals? habitat can hardly be claimed to be animal-friendly." I don't dispute this. No one can claim that agriculture hasn't hurt the earth. however, we NEED to do it or we'll die, so there's not really a debate to be had in this area. It is not frivolous or a luxury, it's a necessity. Meat production is much more environmeltally impactful and it is also unnecessary. - "You take a piece of land and you clear every living thing off it?and I mean down to the bacteria. That?s what agriculture is. " - again, this is technically true, however, equating the displacement of animals who are basically never born because their ancestors were displaced by agriculture and eventually died off, to ACTUAL enslavement suffering of LIVING animals is ridiculous. Who could think they are the same thing? It also goes back to, what is necessary and what isn't? We take land from nature and make it into a wheat field because we NEED to. We enslave and kill animals because we WANT to. - "There is no death-free option. The only options we have are the death that?s a part of the cycle of life and the death that?s destroying the cycle of life." - well DUH. But some organisms have central nervous systems and are self aware, and some people who employ a greater (or let's say different) degree of empathy choose not to participate in their killing.

$2 million per show, that's hard to turn down!
Most are lucky to retire with $2 Million, after 30+ years of work! Paul's shows are truly one of a kind. It is amazing to watch. I also get the feeling Paul is the kind of person who needs constant attention and support and love. He feeds really well with the audience. I just hope he knows when to stop.
I'm afraid he won't stop until he drops dead on stage! (I'm serious)
You might be right. I've always thought Paul just wants to milk his appeal as long as possible and build up as large a fortune as he can, then donate a gigantic chunk of it to benefit animals. It will be his legacy. thoughts?
simplyrahil:
those '2 meals' you claim to have per day makes no difference because you still pay for the death of animals everyday with the rest of meals you consume which has flesh in it.
Yes, of course those two meals make a difference. This isn't a black and white question, "DO YOU EAT MEAT YES OR NO", quantity is an important part of the question.
are you trying somehow to say that the burger-eaters (like yourself) are helping the planet and animals in spite of all the destruction they caused, 'just because they have lettuce inside the bread with the burger'?
Uh, no, that's not what she said at all. Look, I sympathize with the arguments you, in general, are trying to make, but you are just a terrible debater. brutal. You make it so easy for Kathryn.
simplyrahil:
HAHAHAHA 2 'vegan' meals a day while eating meat the rest of the time is 1 step forward and 10 steps back! you very well know that you eat burgers, and animals in various forms.
So should someone be completely vegan, or not make any difference at all? Are those the only two choices? Why can't someone make whatever difference they are able to? It sounds like Kathryn consumes less animal than probably 90% of people in the developed world, so does she really deserve this?
simplyrahil:
killing means you have to also stuff it in your stomachs? why be a corpse-carrier even if the 'killing' is somehow justified environmentally? that is the part i don't get why would any sane person want to ingest what was just eating off all that other stuff, why would any sane person want to kill that and then put it inside themselves?
As a vegetarian, I can at least see that it's a multi-faceted argument with no easy answer. It really depends on why a particular person doesn't eat animals. Environmental is one reason for me. I'm more about the cruelty. I could go either way on this. Catching and killing these carp isn't any less cruel than any other fish at any other time, it's just merciful to the other animals and ecosystem around them. It's not the carp's fault though, they're just doing what they do and now they are being punished for it. I'm more of a "greater good" person. So yeah, catch them and kill them if we have to. If it serves a greater purpose. Killing animals rarely does, but in this case it would. As far as whether it's "ok" to eat them? I wouldn't. I would prefer not to. The fact that they were killed for a good reason doesn't change that. I would hate to see them go to waste when they can feed people, though. But that's not my problem, and to be honest, it's not a problem at all, because MANY people eat wish and many would be lining up for cheap carp.
You know, wishing harm upon someone gruesome enough to kill a beautiful, innocent endangered animal so that they can no longer continue to do that, could be argued to come from an altrustic desire to serve the greater good...
