Paul McCartney Was Worth Every Penny

I am glad you had such a good experience, Bella. With tickets being so pricey these days, it's satisfying to get every cent out of it. I always loved Paul, more so than John or George - Ringo was just an add on.

Paul was the cute one but time has shown that he was nowhere near the songwriter that Lennon was. Most of McCartney's stuff since the Beatles is crap.

Where was he playing?


You're entitled to your opinion, but that's all it is - an opinion.

There are very many that will very much disagree with you.

And, as far as Lennon is concerned, he had talent as a song writer, but as a human being, he failed miserably. One only needs to see how he treated his first wife and son.

I would love to see Sir Paul.
I always thought he was better with melody and John had a way with words.

you haven't listened to most of his post-beatles stuff or are tone deaf. ram, red rose speedway, venus and mars, band on the run are all right up there with all his beatles stuff. mrs. vandebilt and 1985 were two of the best numbers from yankee stadium.

yankee stadium. it was out of this world.

His former wife, Heather, must have thought he was worth every penny as she tried to take all of his in the divorce settlement.

Thanks! Would have been nice to hear!

How much were seats, out of curiousity?

I'm glad you had a good time. How's your little girl and the doggies? Pictures?

I'd still pay to hear Lennon play...

He'd be a bit out of practice...

Yes; but with better material...

Saw him in Detroit and we paid $100 a ticket. We were not on the floor but it didn't matter.

I actually thought his newer stuff was pretty good. The band was great. I was actually impressed. They rocked with their coc....er, guitars out. LOL

I just heard a re-run of an interview of McCartney, and one of the things he said is that they try to give you the best concert experience of your life.

Elton John is playing locally in little while, i'd love to see him if the venue had a time machine that took you back to 1974 to see the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road era concert

for Sir Paul one would only need to go back to 1976 for the Wings Over America tour

Good for you. There's nothing like a great concert.

Paul was my favorite Beatle and he really is a showman, but I have to agree (koff!) with JTT that his post-Beatles music, with rare exception, never matched the stuff he wrote and performed as a Beatle.

Just goes to show that the whole is not necessarily equal to the sum of the parts.

The only Beatle who actually grew after leaving tha band was George, but I think that was because John and Paul never really allowed him to contribute to his full potential.
