Review by StaticBlog: “Beginning with ‘Drive My Car,’ McCartney tirelessly powered through 34 songs with Beatles classics outnumbering solo tracks roughly two to one, but he delivered all his songs at full-tilt energy, whether it was last year’s ‘Highway’ or ‘Eleanor Rigby’ from 43 years ago. After recalling his recent driving tour of Route 66, which took him through Oklahoma, he paused in front of the 20,000-strong crowd ‘to take a moment to drink it all in.’ Then, as he performed ‘The Long and Winding Road,’ photos taken on ‘the mother road’ flashed on the fiber-optic screen behind his band.
McCartney filled the set with historical grace notes, talking about how he wrote ‘Blackbird’ during the Civil Rights Movement, ‘imagining a black girl going through all that,’ and offering poignant tributes to his late wife Linda (‘My Love’ from 1972′s ‘Red Rose Speedway’) and fellow Beatles John Lennon and George Harrison. He began Harrison’s ‘Something’ on ukelele, an instrument both men loved, then expandedthe song to its full ‘Abbey Road’ arrangement as rare photos of Harrison flashed on the screen. When he played Lennon’s ‘A Day in the Life,’ he effortlessly segued into his former songwriting partner’s protest hit, ‘Give Peace a Chance’ …
While McCartney left out some key classics he played during his 2002 show in Oklahoma City, it was hard to be disappointed by the massive set list as his band, featuring guitarists Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray, keyboardist Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., masterfully recreated the classic arrangements on ‘Paperback Writer,’ ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘Live and Let Die,’ which was accompanied by massive flames and fireworks rising from the stage …”
Great story, I agree with you. Thank for sharing.
