....the Beatles were playing 20 minute concerts. Now McCartney (just a couple months shy of his 70th birthday in this video) plays 3 hour concerts! And doesn't he look good? And what's really fun is that with a single note or two the huge crowd knows exactly what song he's going to play. And many of these songs are nearly 50 years old! Ya just gotta love it. Check out the drummer (Abe)....he seems to have such a ball. Yes, Paul's voice is getting a little rough but he can still hit those falsetto notes.
So if you have 3 hours to spare over the holidays check out this complete concert (attendance was estimated at 200,000+)....
Imagine almost 50 years ago.....

And he is a lefty!!!!!!!!!!!! B) B) B)
Thank you Daryl, he is such a performer. I had a chance to see Sir Paul in Dublin Ireland about 10 years ago and in Quebec City a few years ago. He is always making an effort to speak the local language , more than just "Welcome" in the local language and the the city name. In Dublin he spoke a lot in Gaelic, people were hysterical, and he had not started the show yet and the same with French (400,000 fans). This is not something you can appreciate when your language is English as you do not get those littler extra efforts when he makes a show in a an English community. He has this teenager energy that seem to keep drive his shows.
Good find Daryl
