Which is kinda amazing when you think that 99.9999999% of songwriters would kill to be responsible for a setlist like that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steantval Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Macca has some special big gun surprise guests on stage tonight, Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 There will be those who knock him, but I hope I'm able to do a +2hr set to that standard when I'm 80...having done a gig the night before. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Well Mr McCartney there were a few early strange song choices and the sound wasn’t always brilliant but what a great headlining performance and the cameos from Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen were pure genius as was Live And Let Die. 80 years old !! Bloody amazing performance and worth waiting three years for 👏👏👏 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddly Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 That was a fantastic show from Sir Paul and a bloody fine band. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His band are just so good, and Springsteen & Dave Grohl looked to be enjoying it too. Held my complete attention for over 2.5 hours ( despite the dodgy vocal mix etc). Brilliant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merello Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Macca, working at 80, something many will experience inThe near future…..😇 Personally thought the band and performance was excellent. No miming, odd wee wobble, but just magical. Noel Gallagher said something profound earlier along the likes of, “I’m just blown away seeing kids sing and rock out to songs I wrote years before they were born. Try being McCartney….. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 My eldest wanted to stay up and watch McCartney. She hadn't heard Here Today before, but she was in tears afterwards. Such a heartbreaking song, and we can forgive the vocal wobbles as his heart breaks every time he sings it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Sam Fender, First Aid Kit, and Blossoms the highlights for me so far. Paul was excellent, as expected. A true pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Watched a couple of sets last night and still need to check out some of the headliners. TLC had a slick band but there was something weird going on with the vocals that was distracting me, maybe a vocal effect or something on the backing track? Skunk Anansie are always worth a look, there’s a few songs of theirs I will always love as they drag out memories of being a teenager. Pretty good, wasn’t blown away. Watched a few other bits I can’t recall but highlight for me so far was Sigrid. Her band were superb, her bass player was great, some nice lines and flicking back and forth between synth and great vocalist on top. Guitarist held it down nicely and let rip on a couple of occasions in a classy way. I just love Sigrid, she writes some great catchy song, great singer, and huge energy. I will check some more out today and this evening. Really want to check out Olivia Rodrigo and Jessie Ware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have incredible but I’m sure he has had a hell of a lot of stress in his life: the death of the love of his life Linda, divorce from the one legged, gold digger Heather Mills and I would have said Yoko Ono but after watching Get Back I’m not so sure now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ern500evo Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I certainly didn’t expect a 2.5hr set, hats off to him. Really nice to see Dave Grohl back on a stage too. Really enjoyed the set, and I just love the energy of his drummer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) I'm surprised that no-one so far seems to have mentioned Gabriels, I really enjoyed their set and thought they were outstanding. Apologies if I've misssed a prior mention. 3/10 to the BBC so far. Terrible sound mixes for Macca and Alison Krause, no coverage of the Acoustic tent whatsoever. Delaying the Macca set by a whole hour to fit in an extra episode of Casualty - what's all that about?

ubit Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I can’t understand how when I watched the highlights years ago there was never anything I liked. It’s still like that. I’m doomed to never enjoy a lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpace Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I missed McCartney last night, was watching Mitski (I still think she was great, each to their own 😃). Annoyingly, I can't find Macca on iPlayer this morning. Does anyone else have the same problem? Maybe it's just my TV (LG)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
