I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think he's still got it.

Really? I may be wrong but I think his last sort-of-half-decent album was "Band on the Run" and his last half-decent song was "Live and Let Die".

Can you name anything else he's done since he left the Beatles that's not horrbibly dated, horribly kitsch or just plain horrible?

I like Macca, saw him live at Knebworth and he was totaly awesome

It's a live concert. So it's mainly Wings and Beatles hits.

No need to worry about the mediocre stuff!

If he's doing the Wings back catalogue then it will be chocka full of mediocre stuff.


But seriously - can you really say he's still got it if he's peddling stuff that he wrote nearly 50 years ago? It'll be like every other Paul McCartney concert anyone's ever been to - him getting rocky to "Get Back" and "Live and Let Die", him getting schmalzy to "Let it Be" and repeat.

Excellent link as well, shame no Linda these days

All good tracks that have stood the test of time.

Wings are the band The Beatles could have been.

When does this end ?

 

[Buzzer]

When does this end ?

When he dies.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

I f***ing hated the Beatles, loathed Wings and think Macca is a sad old has been. So I wont be watching.

 

[Beach Hut]

When he dies.

Come on that is a bit harsh to say the least.

You may not like his music but to say that...........

I think Macca's piss-poor output since the Beatles is testament to who really was the creative engine in that band. Completely agree with "sad old has-been".

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Have you listened to the Steve Mason album?

What? I'm not wishing the bloke an early death or anything.

 

[Buzzer]

Have you listened to the Steve Mason album?

Oh, yes. That is a lovely album. I went back and listened to a lot of the Beta Band stuff on the back of it. I've been listening to John Grant album too. Also very good.

Now if it was Sting......

I'll give it a go.

Good call.

Far be it for me to wish the demise of tired old has-beens but if I did then Sting, Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Bono, Elton John, Tina Turner and Cher would be on my list.

I hate with a passion when these boring farts do the festival circuit. Even worse when they do ironic cover albums.
