Just saw Paul McCartney on Sunday night in Toronto. He and the Beatles then Wings were my first fav band and idol. At 68 I thought a 2 hour show would be amazing. Well he pulled a Pearl Jam and banged out for 3 hours. 68 and played 3 hours!!! Was one of the most amazing shows I ever saw. He played bass, lead(playing a ton of different guitars) and piano. Still blown away.

    I'd say he pulled a McCartney. PJ never plays for 3 hours.

    Yeah, I also had an opportunity to go see him this year in Los Angeles. I chose not to go because the tix were $130 or so a pop. Oh well...I'd love to see him play, but that much dough just hurts to think about.

    You do. It was an unbelievably good show. It was the first show I've seen that I feel truly fortunate to have seen it (and I've seen lots of bands).
