Paul McCartney Pays Tribute to Beatles Bandmates at Hollywood Bowl Gig

Went and saw Paul at our new Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh,Pa on Aug 18th,I've been to quite a few concerts but i can't imagine anyone putting on a show like these guys did not just Paul his band too,at 68 years young to perform at that level shows how much he loves what he does because there is no way it is just for the money if anyone has to complain about what Paul does or doesn't do they should go see the Rolling Stones or some other band. Give the guy the credit due him.

We, as rock and roll children, are BLESSED to have been part of the BEATLES. Of course they went beyond rnr into pure creativity and experimentation, especially in the studio having to record on tapes. The Beatles, as with the Stones and Michael Jackson (I believe) are truly a once in a lifetime happening. The music and LYRICS will survive long after us and will be a true marker in history. What other band has influenced the world at large and changed consciousness as much as the BEATLES and the 60's they represent? As for the comment that Mac is a bad lyricist...well you must be very young with very little emotional experience or simply a dim bulb. Anyone who has lived and loved and has heard "For No One" will know what I mean. And "And I Love Her" is so simply beautiful and poignant, no more needs to be said. Paul was my least fav of the four, but without his contribution the Beatles would not have been. Rock on Mr. McCartney and they were the BEST!

Though John Lennon was no slouch, and George Harrison had his moments, Paul McCartney was and is in a class by himself when it comes to songwriting. Knew it a long time ago.

It's always the people who don't do anything memorable who are the biggest critics. Mention Paul McCartney or The Beatles and you get instant recognition, memories and No. 1 songs to sing. Mention MC, Cat or csi and what comes to mind? Absolutely NOTHING!
Beatle fans are legion. Those who don't like them can go worship whatever second-best band they can come up with. It won't matter. JPGR rule!

OK, how stupid are some of you.
Maybe, just maybe he did the same set for those who HAD NOT HEARD him yet!!
And if you're a true Beatles fan, you would'nt care anyway. So stop the ridicule and just enjoy that half of
the Beatles are still around to take us back to that wonderul time of music.

I, too, saw this concert last year, back to back shows at Fenway Park. And while it's true that it was essentially the same show two nights in a row (and was virtually identical to the Hollywood Bowl concert), I left both times totally satisfied by the legendary performances! I mean, what do people expect? The lighting, fireworks, and all the rest has to be timed and rehearsed along with the set list so there's little room for improvisation here. It's not a Grateful Dead jam after all. Also, when you've got a killer show that's working perfectly, why change it? Other bands do the same thing all the time (like YES, for instance). I've seen Paul on various tours in the past. This one was truly amazing and never before has he played so many Beatles songs in one night, even with the Beatles, who's concerts were considerably shorter.

What are the names of the other musicians playing with Paul on this tour? Why didn't he introduce them and why is it so impossible to find this out on the internet? I was at the concert last night (April 3rd).

Paul is the zen master. I dare any of you to attempt to recreate the genius that is the Beatles, or any song created by Lennon, McCartney, or Harrison.

mccartney's bass playing is pretty lame these days.

If one goes to a concert in Los Angles and then goes to see the same performer in New York or London or where ever chances are your going to hear the same material. You know the saying: Same stuff, different day!
