Ginger Baker at the Band on the Run sessions
I've just been reading the book of the Deluxe Band on the Run edition. Ginger Baker was at some of the sessions,yet only shook a bucket of gravel! I can't quite understand why seeing Paul had just lost a drummer,why he didn't ask Ginger to play.Paul did a good enough job,but it almost seems criminal to under use a talented drummer who was actually AT the sessions. Anybody Know more about this or care to speculate?

Also elvis didnt record hey jude for a release he was just messing around in the studio
It's Get Back that he messed about with, Hey Jude was recorded.
Oh dear - that makes it worse.I think Elvis' version of Hey Jude is awful.He sounds like he struggles to make the high notes.

RE: Worst McCartney album?
I would say thats a decent assessment TBH - although I quite like Pretty Little Head.I prefer the single mix with the "warmer" Macca vocals to the album mix that sounds like his mike wasn't switched on but his voice was picked up by the drum mikes.

Also don't understand the universal panning Press to Play gets. Stranglehold is a cracking song, as is Footprints and Only Love Remains.

Posibbly Wings at the Speed of Sound or Wildlife.But it's relative, because its better than most other artists best stuff.

RE: Paul, Hampden Park, Glasgow, 20th June - ARCHIVE
Been reading through the last few pages,re how good is Pauls voice now.I will readily concede that Paul can't sing as good as when he was 22.Thats a no brainer really - but I do believe he is still a great singer . Hampden was for me the best I've heard Paul for a good while.Lazy dynamite,I don't say this to contradict you - you are clearly a major fan,but I DID think the long and winding road sounded great - honestly.My wife was with me - she is a musician too, and uber critical,but she was WELL impressed.

I saw Paul in Glasgow in 1990,and he nailed the high notes a lot more convincingly on some of his more challenging songs better at Hampden last Sunday.

A wonderful gig.The fourth time I have seen him,and probably the best I have seen him.A fanatastic varied set. If anyone tries to tell you that Paul can't sing very well any more,feel free to tell them on my behalf that they are talking utter rubbish.His singing for the ENTIRE gig was excellent tonight - better than Glasgow SECC 20 years ago. The scaremongers who talked about thousands of empty seats were also talking through a hole in their you know where.Apart from a couple of tiny patches of empty seats the gig was more or less full. I was so happy to at last take my wife, my 72 year old dad and 68 year old mum and my three young boys to see Paul live in Glasgow.They all enjoyed it so much. Paul actually genuinley seemed taken aback at the reception he was getting.He used much of the usual speil - but thats cool.Many people would have been seeing this for the first time.It's just that when,he kept on thanking the crowd,there was something simple and heartfelt about it - as if he really sensed how glad we were that he came back.I haven't noticed that at any other of his gigs I've been to. ...and the fireworks - WOW
On behalf of my family,thank you SO much Paul Mccartney.

killieboy:
im sure some folk will turn up and sing along im sure macca wont take it as a personal slight if there are a few empty seats
Even so - look how much America flocks to see him - good on them too.We take him for granted.

Cheers. I just hope the newspaper reports are not to believed.If they are,shame on my fellow countrymen. I was a bit resentful when Paul missed out Scotland in 2003.Now if the papers are to be believed,he is vindicated for earlier Scottish snub.I'll await to see what the crowd is like before I say anymore.

Kind of surprising that there are so many good seats on open sale with barely a month and a half left
Of course I had to see for myself
You can't get 10 tickets for most seatings anymore though. They mention it but when you click '10', almost every time it says there are no 10 seats available anymore. Hope that makes you feel better
I'm not surprised there are seats left in sections like AA9 (sorry for the people who have their seats there); I rather have a center tiered seat with good view on the stage than a seat on the far right or left. But that might be just me. Esp for the fireworks effects during LALD I'd like to have a good view on the stage. I'm soooooo ready for my tickets to arrive. Just 5 more weeks. Or whenever they get here.
I've now spoke to two people over the last week or so who can't get tickets AT ALL for Macca at Hampden
Is this gig sold out or not ?

RE: Paul, Come To Australia
For someone who's waited 20 years to get an anouncement that Pauls coming to their country - I just want to add my support to your campaign

RE: Paul, Hampden Park, Glasgow, 20th June - ARCHIVE
My tickets for AA11 were £70.I don't think thats too much for Paul Mccartney - especially if the likes of Pink are £55.Relativley speaking thats value for me.Also there's no way Hampden is too big for Macca - bizzare comment.
This will sell out no problem.I've heard rumours of another date.

RE: Paul, Hampden Park, Glasgow, 20th June - ARCHIVE
Hope it's true - is it 20th june (a sunday?!) or as origionally rumored the 1st july? I've blocked out the 19th,20th of june and the 1st july from my band callender just in case!
