Review by BBC News: „Sir Paul rolls back the years. For years, Sir Paul has been lamenting the loss of the Cavern and now he accepts that the new building at the same address is the Cavern and that this was his 281st gig at the venue.
In that sense, it was a pity that he chose to play in the larger back room rather than in the arched area which so closely resembles the original.
The stage was too small for the band’s hi-tech equipment and the modern lighting effects. Not to worry as Sir Paul was in brilliant form playing 12 songs in 40 minutes, mostly from Run Devil Run.
In any other circumstance, it would be a major boost for Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour to be playing Liverpool. Here he was one of the twin electric lead guitarists with Mick Green from the Pirates …
Sir Paul limited himself to short, pertinent introductions. He said that „Lonesome Town“ was „for lovers, past, present and future“, – make what you will of that.
He told us that John Lennon was impressed that he knew the words of „Twenty Flight Rock“, then he stuck to Chuck Berry’s original lyric for „Brown Eyed Handsome Man“ – repeating Chuck’s reference to the „Milo de Venus“ (sic).
He contorted his face like Gene Vincent when he sang „Bluejean Bop“, or maybe that’s the only way to sing the song.
Sir Paul’s current single revives the skiffle song, „No Other Baby“. I thought that this song was inconsequential but it sounded so much better live and it was good to hear him slow down the tempo and the volume for one number.
Sir Paul reeled off a couple of new songs – „What It Is“ and „Try Not To Cry“, but the biggest applause was for „I Saw Her Standing There“… quintessential Beatles, quintessential Paul McCartney and total magic. Although the large man in front of me did his best to obscure my view by waving his hands, this was the best moment I have ever seen on stage anywhere. No doubt about it, Sir Paul got back to where he once belonged.“
