I lost my sister to cancer this year. It's been the worst year of my life, but it was music that kept me going, especially Beatles-related stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Macca this year, but I have seen him 3 times before. I hope you have a better year ahead & keep on rocking. Take care Andrew, thanks for sharing your continuing love of The Beatles music & have a wonderful Christmas time. 🎄
Weirdly, I was listening to George Formby's song Hindoo Man on the weekend, with its East Indian chanting at either end of the song, and wondering if George heard that as a kid...
Hi Andrew, thanks for the review. I saw some of it on TH-cam. He’s great for 82! There’s no doubt about that. I watched Paul’s concert tour ‘The space between US’ the other day and as much as I worship Paul it was hugely different compared to him today. His mic for starters I was not turned down…His voice was so much more powerful. He was still singing the sweet songs like Here there and everywhere, I will, the long and winging road and yesterday which hasn’t done in years. Having said that I hope he comes to Dublin again soon and it’s great to hear he’s hoping to finish an all in soon. He’s still fantastic and long may he continue!
I was at the O2 for the last night Andrew. I’ve been to 4 of his gigs now. I find that his voice has obviously deteriorated, but as the evening progresses, he seems to get younger. You may also be pleased to hear, as I was, his final words last night were ‘there’s nothing left to say now but… see you next time’! How pleased I was to hear that.
Great review Andrew! I was lucky to be at the O2 on Thursday and there are no words for seeing Paul and Ringo together ( even from my seat away up in the gods). He is an absolute legend (as if we didn’t already know). All the best for a wonderful Christmastime!
Andrew, I'm sorry to hear that you've had a tough year. Things will be OK in the end. Remember that each trial we have to face is all part of life's journey. I've struggled with rubbish times myself but one phrase has seen me through - "there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be". Sending love
Yeah there are some phrases that just mean, oh... Just so much in life and come cume up at the most unexpected times in and stay with you a life time I'll never forget what my mum said to me on her death bed, she said "remember you're a womble". And you know no matter where I am.. overground? underground? Or indeed just out and about being free I still carry that with me. I can hear her now.. Words to live by. Thanks mum 😢💓💓
Sorry to hear this year has been tough, Andrew. Here's to brighter days in 2025. I attended the 19th December show. Absolutely amazing night. I was sobbing by the end!
Saw him on the Sunday and got the same tee and programme! Great concert first time seeing either Beatle. Great great show, cried at wonderful Christmastime, never thought I'd see that song live. Great show, long live Macca
Andrew, I enjoyed your review of the Manchester concert. It made me smile as, at a concert some years ago, I too caught a single piece of the confetti released at the end of the show and have it tucked away inside a programme. I also felt the heat of the pyrotechnics during Live and Let Die. Merry Christmas and I hope 2025 will be a better year for you.
Saw him on the first Paris date. The place was packed and just the sheer age range of the fans in the audience was incredible. There was a little girl probably no more than about 7 or 8 having the absolute time of her life dancing at the front of our section for the majority of the show - it put a little tear in my eye I can't lie! His voice was fantastic as well - and the change in his voice was the main reason I'd not purchased tickets for any of his tours over the past decade. To my ears he sounded even better than he did at Glastonbury.
I was at the 1st night at the O2 London, I've seen Paul on most of his tours and he never disappoints, great that he has finally added a brass section, his band are amazing, Rusty's guitar solos are spot on, perfect, too many highlights to mention but like you 'Maybe I'm amazed' if my favourite 'solo Paul' song and at the end the Golden Slumbers' medley, beautiful. I was lucky enough to go to the 'soundcheck'in the afternoon, what a treat, Flaming Pie, Let 'em in, Everyday, Queenie Eye and a few old rockers, that was my Xmas present to myself !! A day I will always remember.
Merry Christmas Andrew 🌲, Great review of Paul McCartney Live in Manchester 👍 flew down from San Francisco to Mexico City to see Paul live in concert, and the same thing you have said about his performance was exactly the same on November 14th, The man at 82 is nothing short of amazing and I cant help but think this may be the last time, but knowing Paul he just doesnt know when to stop, and you can clearly see that he loves performing live so I wouldnt be suprised if I see him once again live in concert.
Hey man, I'm sorry your 2024 was not good. I will tell you that your videos do bring me joy and I hope that can counteract whatever kept you down in 2024. Like the man says, it's getting better all the time. Here in the states, like a lot of the world, there is fear and loathing, but I know things will get better. Thank you again for your videos. Plus I love the Jaco Pastorius album in your background. As a bassist, he along with Paul McCartney, Marcus Miller, James Jamerson and Larry Graham are my main bass influences. Peace to you and a wonderful 2025 to you and your loved ones.
@@AndrewDixonMusic same here - and i know that many of us enjoy your videos simply because you are sincere, kind, intelligent and a definite positive force. It will get better.
Hey Andrew I was there 15/12 at Manchester was an awesome gig what a performer what a voice and his band were superb …I didn’t want it to end .. live and let die was amazing maybe my fav of the night with now and then .. once in a lifetime experience and I have seen the best performer and songwriter EVER .. take care Andrew keep doing what you do best that’s why I subscribed best Beatles and Paul info from you 🎸👍
Mate I was there too. Flew in from Germany on 10th of December for a trip to Liverpool and crowned it with the concert! It was mindblowing. My first time ever seeing him! Wished I had met you! Event of a lifetime!
Your video is lovely . I didn’t know things had been bad for you this year . Your remarks over how Paul can make you feel really resonated with me and made me feel a little tearful . Liked and subscribed . Have a merry Christmas Andrew ❤
Andreww great show! Paul is the one and only! The London show yesterday Ringo and Ronnie Wood showed up that was great! Especially seeing Ringo best part of the show! Paul says shall we rock. Ringo i always rock Ringo says! Your right Andrew Paul's voice was good and the band!!! So Glad everyone had a great time Andrew!!!
Love your enthusiasm and emotion, Andrew. Glad you had a great time. Sorry to hear about your troubles this year. Here's hoping for a better year in 2025.
I saw it twice. Once in Madrid and once in London. The best nights of my life. I cannot stop thinking about it. Absolutely incredible. I'm 19 and words cannot express how much Sir Paul means to me. Was crying for maybe I'm amazed, blackbird, here today and something. Blessed to have seen Wonderful Christmastime. My life is complete 😅. His voice live was so much better than I was expecting. I understand criticisms - it took him a few times to start Hey Jude in London as his voice broke the first couple of times! But he managed to turn it into a joke - but I thought he sounded amazng, and it was an honour to see the legend in person. Currently on a massive comedown from it 😂.
I thought it was absolutely amazing, 82 years old, the man is a machine. Sadly I lost my niece at the age of 18 2 months ago so this gig did make me smile and emotional. First time I've been on front row and I would have paid a grand for that show. My girlfriend isn't a big Beatles fan but she loved the concert. Highlight for me was Helter Skelter.
Hey Andrew, the very same songs got me too. I was crying like a baby. I saw Wonderful Christmas time in Glasgow, I believe in 2018 so I was expecting it so close to Christmas. It didn't disappoint either, it was brilliant that the brass section dressed up. They were amazing btw. I loved how the stage lifted up for Backbird, just amazing. Nearly 3 hours of the best, I don't know how he does it at 82, but boy can he still rock. Yes his voice has deteriorated over the years, no wonder and so what! You can see just how much he loves doing it, he always did and that rubs off on the audience. He has us like putty in his hands. I'm delighted to have got to Manchester on the first night. Thanks, as per, for your reviews Andrew. Wish I'd bumped into you. All the best and it will be ok, I get it 🎉❤
Great review Andrew and I couldn't agree more about the way the man makes us feel. I was at the O2 last night and during Band on the Run I was thinking about all the times I've screamed along to it in the car in my own little world, or put Paul on the headphones for the train home after a shit day at work. Because he always makes us feel better.
Thank you Andrew for your great review. Always a joy to hear you talk about all things Beatles. Your definitely for myself the go-to person in the UK. Cheers and than you again.
My wife & I were so lucky to see Paul in Adelaide last year, where he re-started his “Got Back” tour Down Under. So lucky to have seen a “live” Beatle! Incredible performance for an 81 yr old. (Lucky to have seen Ringo & his All Star Band in 2013 also). Feel very privileged to have been born in the late 60’s and lived through the Beatles era. Many of my friends would have loved to have been there too, but probably couldn’t afford to. Yes, I’ve seen the “Love Cirque de Soleil “ in Las Vegas too, and really hope that a Blu-ray will be released so I can show all my Beatles friends how wonderful that performance was, especially as many could not afford the ticket let alone the accommodation & flight from Adelaide. 🙏🤞🎶🎸😎 Thanks from your review Andrew, it brought back many fond memories. 👍😎
Seeing Paul McCartney Live is a wonderful experience and so is the power of music Andrew..I've seen Paul 3 times live since 2003 ...unfortunately couldn't get tickets, which killed me tbh being a massive fan since childhood...maybe I'm amazed, here today and golden slumbers all massive songs for me. And I get really emotional listening to them and live is unbelievable...I can see you were emotional Andrew and I really do hope as a long term subscriber you have a better 2025 !!! Great review I needed that since I wasn't there!
My and i took my son(massive McCartney fan) on the Saturday at Manchester for his 13th birthday and then popped over to Liverpool in the morning to do all the "beatle stuff" around the city. Best weekend ever. Merry Christmas.
Fantastic review. I didn’t see the show but I did see him together with Wixx in 1989 in Rotterdam with ofcourse Linda aswell. Happy Holidays and greetings from 🇪🇸
Was there on same night as you Andrew. 2nd time seeing Paul. It was an incredible night. Crowd were electric. My wife - more of a Lennon fan - could not believe how good he was. It's the fact he could put together another 2 set lists of classics of similar quality. An incredible artist. The best. Sorry to hear 2024 has been rough. Sending love ❤️
I was able to see him for the first time yesterday and wow I couldn't have had a better first time. A perfect experience and seeing Ringo was a feeling I have never felt!! So glad the Manchester show was all up on their feet for the whole show like in the O2. So so electric!! I hope to catch Paul again take care Andrew!
A great evening you must have had. Also love the t-shirt. Thanks for the story, a memory that will last forever.😉 Whatever it was that made 2024 a heard year, i felt it. Take good care and love to hear more from you. Regards from the Netherlands.
There’s no way EVER to sit during a MACCA concert!….Unless you’re on the last row! I love your amazing comment about when Paul wasn’t singing! I last saw him 2019 Dodgers Stadium❤️❤️❤️ I want your shirt! I’ve loved him from day one!
managed to see him a couple of times this tour and I'll be forever grateful - last night was the first night for me, though, where I cried at golden slumbers for obvious reasons! other than that, now and then as well as something simply can't not make me cry, it seems (it's the fantastic visuals that send me over the edge). I'm so, so glad you've managed to see him as well! as always, thank you for the great content - wishing you all the best, hope 2025 is going to treat you well! :)
Hi Andrew, great review. I was lucky to have been the O2 last night and knowing that Ringo had been in London last week I was hoping that he would appear but when Paul and the band played ‘Now And Then’ without him I thought that Ringo must have gone back in the US. The crowd reaction when he did come on was absolutely amazing and I will never ever forget seeing 2 Beatles playing together, Wow, amazing! Have great Christmas!
Im 21 years old & that 1st night at the o2 was my first ever concert, I am so unbelievably grateful I got to see the living legend/an actual Beatle, I thank God for the wonderful experience, the kind people I met such as Callum & Taichi to name a few, such a pleasant experience and something that will stick with me for the rest of my life! THANK YOU SIR PAUL
Andrew , fantastic review of Pauls concert, wish I could say have seen it. But all the clips it was so awesome Thank you Andrew, Paul will Forever be the best, I’ve seen Paul many times Everyone Amazing, Fantastic, and was in one second row and saw him upclose that I will remember forever. Andrew I want to wish a Very Merry Christmas, A Blessed and Happy for you and your family, A Happy New Year, 25 will be a great year for you, My Friend, Steve 🎄💥
Junior's Farm as the second song? My head would have exploded and I'd have missed the rest of the show, I need to be worked up to that! Great review, I've only seen Paul play once here in Halifax, but at least we got Mull of Kintyre, with friends of mine playing bagpipes on stage, so that was my show to remember (and I got to hear the soundcheck too, with some Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins and Coming Up thrown in).
Hi, Andrew is was there and i agree ditto with every appreciative comment it was an unforgettable experience to see the maestro at the top of his game 🥰
Brilliant review Andrew. I was at the O2 last night and I had the time of my life. I can't see any future gigs I go to being able to top seeing Ringo on the stage with Paul. Two Beatles for the price of one😃. I loved seeing Paul in 2003 but this gig was on an even higher level. The setlist was everything I could have dreamed of. Wonderful Christmas time was a highlight for me too. Great to see Ronnie Wood join the band for Get Back. As you say the brass section was superb especially on Letting Go and Got to get you into my life.
The tour program in Australia was free with entry. It's cool but in truth mostly an advert to make people aware of what Paul has done so you can buy the huge number of items available. Mostly a puff piece but that's fair enough at 82 years of age. What a wonderful review and one Paul fans for decades do understand how his positivity is such a huge part of the joy of his existence. I understand how his music can choke you up. Of course, like any human Paul has made big mistakes but unlike most of us he has been such a positive, generous and uplifting spirit. Without that the Beatles wouldn't have had that joy as well as all their musical brilliance. Thank you, Andrew. You too shine a very positive light on the world including when you and others might need it most. P.S. A girl in my coffee shop has just commenced work there and is a mammoth McCartney-Beatles fan. Isn't that brilliant to know a 15-year-old can be an obsessed Beatles fan (with Paul as her favourite). She did not know that I was one too. She now will get all my McCartney and Beatles items when I die as all I have ever wanted was to know someone who would treasure it as I do. Both of us are wrapped with joy over this and her father who I spoke to who largely put her onto the Beatles. Coffees are so much more pleasurable when Beatles and McCartney music is being played over the speakers.
Thanks for another brilliant video, Andrew. Yours is my go-to channel for anything Beatles related and I was particularly interested to hear your thoughts, given that I was at the O2 on Wednesday. It still hasn't really sunk in and it probably won't for a long time. It's impossible to explain what Macca and his music means to me and so many people but your content has really helped me to understand my own feelings and thoughts about it all. I'm sorry 2024 has been a horrible year for you - a wise man once said 'soon we'll be away from here, step on the gas and wipe that tear away'
What a great review! I have seen Paul 11 times since 1989. I didn’t go the last few times as I wanted to keep the memory of the great voice of 2015. That said it looks like he is coming around again and I will go now (Denny!) 2024 not a good year here either but ❤ for 2025! You are like my British family Andrew! God Bless and have a great Christmas 🎄 with your family ❤!
Beautiful review, Andrew! Yes, he does that for us. He gives us those moments that bring tears, inspire, and bring us to a place of pure love. I always cry-happy, flowing tears. How do you thank someone who gave the soundtrack for your life? Whose music was always there? Who consciously made the choice to offer positive, uplifting music his entire life? There aren't words enough for it. The last time Paul played MSG in New York City, I took my goddaughter, who was 20 at the time. She was thrilled but when he started Elenor Rigby, she began streaming tears and hugged me so tight. Paul gives us life moments that we will treasure forever. We've been blessed to be alive for the career of one of the greatest musical geniuses the world has ever seen. When I was 12, at the Wings Over America Concert in 1976, I knew, just knew, that Paul was forever, and The Beatles were, too. How lucky we all are! May 2025 be a much better, happier year for you, dear Andrew! Thank you so much for your live streams and videos. They bring so much joy!
Great review Andrew, especially how it affected your emotions. That's what great music can do. I hope you have a happy Christmas and best wishes to you and your family. All the best for a better 2025.
I got that T Shirt too!. First night at O2 for me. Fantastic show. Bit gutted I missed the Ringo spot the 2nd night but those the breaks. Also everyone stood up at O2 first song as well!
I went both nights, A Hard Day’s Night, Now And Then, Let Me Roll It, Jet and Get Back were my highlights. He sounded absolutely phenomenal! Roll on his 2025 album and hopefully a tour too!
Andrew. Thank you for the review. Great you got to see the Cute One again. Brilliant. I’d to join your other followers in wishing you a Wonderful Christmas Time and a much much better 2025. Thanks Andrew.
Nice review Andrew, I saw Paul (and Ringo!) at the O2 on Thursday, was a wonderful show. I first saw him in 1990 and never dreamed he would still be going in 2024. For me, his voice sounded decent, particularly on songs like Maybe I'm Amazed. Hope you have a happy and peaceful Christmas. Best wishes for a better 2025.
Fantastic video! Been on TH-cam watching the videos of the concerts. When you mentioned Maybe I'm Amazed, I even started tearing up. I was thinking about that song a few days ago. I bought the album when I was in college. A long time ago. If I find that tour book on eBay, I'm buying it. Thank you for the concert review. McCartney is #1. Makes me happy!
I went on the 14th too and it was amazing, my 11th time seeing him. I first saw him in 1990 that was my first time seeing a Beatle in 1990 then in 1992 I was so lucky to be at George’s Royal Albert Hall concert and I only found out the night before it happened.
Great review of the McCartney show you went to, Andrew. I must say I am a little surprised you have only seen McCartney 6 times. I lived in the Los Angeles area most of my life and have seen every show on every tour McCartney has played. I guess me being 72 I can easily have seen him back when Wings in '76, their first tour came through and throughout. I don't know what it is that can do that, but I am glad you got a little emotional. It's happened to me as well, but only at McCartney shows. I saw McCartney's last tour of the States in Seattle Washington, but I don't expect I will be able to afford to see him again as ticket prices are very expensive now-a-days and that is if he tours over here tours again. That was his first show he had played in a while and his voice was not very good, but it still was a McCartney show and was great. Anyway, I do hope you will get to enjoy McCartney one more time. To you and yours, have a merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.
Great review, Andrew. You conveyed what it felt like to be there, moment by moment, song by song brilliantly. I hope I get the chance to see McCartney live. It would be an emotional experience like no other. As you rightly point out, who else has that catalogue of songs. They echo through people's memories and lodge there as soul comforters. Take care and hope things will be better for you next year.
I was there and I agree with your review. It was a special night. 2024 has been tricky for me too and this gig just lifted me right up. I'm still buzzing off it and all the great reviews. Sad we didn't get Ringo but hey ho. A fab night. Have a great Christmas. Onwards✊️
Hello Andrew, what a great concert and evening, thanks for sharing the experience! Agree with you that "Hey Jude" and some other songs could have been swopped. The list is long. Imagine hearing i.e.: "Getting Closer", "Take it away" or " Once upon a long ago" live...But we have got so much from Paul through the years and the fact that he still is standing there doing great concerts is just fantastic! I hope he and Ringo will continue for many more years.
Thanks for the review, Andrew. Unfortunately here in the states we haven’t seen Paul in a while. I am hoping 2025. He comes back. I’ve seen him now numerous times and everything you were talking about as far as when you get choked up is when I get choked up. Whatever he does, Maybe I’m Amazed, I lose my mind. I think his band is amazing and I thought so since they started in oh one. Also, thanks for the info about the archive collection article because I was wondering if it actually mentioned you know keep watching. I hope 2025 is better for youand whatever you need you get
Amused to hear you also caught a peice of paper from Wonderful Christmastime! I did the same, and glued it between a couple of glass microscope slides and labelled it 'Wonderful Christmastime - McCartney 2024'. My new lucky charm 😂 In Madrid I queued up for 10 hours and managed to just get the row - so felt the heat of Live and Let die. I saw videos of the 2nd night at London and saw there was a malfunction, so the explosions went off at the wrong time during the peaceful 'you used to say live and let live' part - which made Paul jump - but he seemed to take it in good humour! Gutted to have missed Ringo and Ronnie Wood by 1 day though.
Andrew. Thank you for a brilliant review. I didn't get the chance to see Paul this time. Not being nosey. But you got to me feeling emotional. It brought it all back to me to actually meet John and Yoko at the Dakota. And very much later hearing the dreadful news. I'm sure you've got a lot going on around you in your personal life. But rest assured we're all he for you. I once some years ago you to drink in a pub. Called The Cow Shed. In Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill. Got to know the manage and family quite well. Imagine years later I heard that's where Paul's Original Bass was found up in the loft. That's all I know about. Anyway Make sure you have a Great Christmas, see you on here in the New Year. 2025.
Wonderful review of the show in Manchester. In addition, love the concert tee! ( I have many Paul/Wings tees- at some point have to get that one). Glad you had a lovely time. I suspect many people have emotional experiences at each Macca concert experience. Sir Paul is a treasure to the World
Nice review, so glad you got a chance to see Paul !! Been awhile for me but I saw him in 1976 and about 8 other times after that . I got a wonderful 2 Cd set of Paul in Buenos Aires and in soundboard stereo and loving it and mainly because of Now and Then on it. Happy Christmas to you Andrew. Lets hope 2025 will be a better year for you and everyone here.
Hey Andrew, the last time I saw Sir Paul was 30 years ago at Arco arena in Sacramento California U.S.A. I won tickets where I worked at and it was the first and probably the only time I would see Paul in concert. The best part of the concert was where we were seated. We were literally just 10 feet from the stage. It was awesome to see him live. When they opened the Golden one center in Sacramento where the Sacramento Kings play Paul McCartney was the first artist to open up the area. I couldn't afford to see him then let alone now. Glad you had a good time, and your right at 82 we might not see him live God willing in the future. Take care Andrew
I was at night 2 and the first song they played was Can't Buy Me Love, amazing show, glad I went! The best concert I've been to just on the basis of it being Paul McCartney!
Wow what a great review Andrew I’m sure it was a rollercoaster of a night what a lasting memory I’m sure. Keep up your great reviews hear you in the new year , all the best.
Really good video Andrew. I went to Madrid to see Paul for the first time and was very surprised by how good his voice was. The Spanish crowd were excellent too on the night, great show all round.
Fantastic. Thanks for the review Andrew. Firstly hope your 2025 is better for you than this year and sending you all the best. I took my two teenage boys to last night’s O2 gig and it was as amazing as you described. Particularly poignant for me as both my Grandfather and Mum and Dad saw the Beatles in ‘64 (although didn’t hear much!!) - Mum and Dad in Leeds… so to take my boys was really special. Amazing how the generations have taken to him- one of my son’s friends cancelled his ski trip so he could go with his grandfather. Anyway it was a fantastic evening. Thank you again for all your great videos - always so enjoyable and informative. Cheers and Merry Xmas Simon
I consider myself so fortunate to have been at the second night at the o2. To see Paul and Ringo on stage together was beyond my wildest dreams. I last saw him 20 years ago and this concert felt Ike a celebration of his life's work. I kept reminding myself that this is the same guy who played in the cavern with the boys, played on the roof top, the same guy who I watched a few weeks ago at the cinema at the peak of his powers with Wings. What an incredible man. I also found myself choking up at the usual places, Maybe I'm Amazed, Here Today, Something...and the one that unexpectedly made me blubber like a baby was Let It Be. It's been a tough year personally and it just hit so hard.
This is such a great video (as always!), thank you for your reflections. A great review of a great night, I love the detail you give and your passion for the music and the honest impact it has on you (massively relatable). Cheers! Gary Crimble and Merry Rudolph to you and yours Andrew, here's to a happy 2025👍✌️
Was there on Saturday night as well, 6th time seeing Paul (3x 2003, 2011 & 2015). Absolutely agree with every word of your review, except it was Maybe I'm Amazed that got me, it was our first dance at our wedding. 17yo son who can barely remember seeing Paul in Liverpool in 2015 had an absolute ball, conceding that his old man had cause to buy all those boxsets. Also worth mentioning that once you actually go into the Co-op Live, aside from the teeny tiny seats, that the sighlines and sound was fantastic. We were up in block 314 (we could see the horns behind you for Letting Go) and the sound was impeccable. Finally a shout out to the rest of the audience - respectfully quiet during the acoustic numbers, on their feet and singing for the up tempo ones. No bad behaviour and the people around me drowned Paul out (in a good way) during Something. A night for the ages and on par with seeing Paul for the first time in 2003.
Great review! I went on Sunday for my first time seeing Paul live. And I was blown away! I expected something similar to Glastonbury so was made up that he did Drive My Car, Now and Then & Wonderful Christmastime. In Spite of All The Danger/Love Me Do really impressed me, the audience absolutely loved it. I couldn't believe the heat coming off the Live And Let Die pyro! There was some shouldering equipment and I was briefly worried about an evacuation! His voice sounds great all things considered, and he's still got absolutely commanding stage presence. I hope I get another chance to see him, but if that's it, I will consider myself very fortunate.
Great review Andrew thank you and thanks for your incredibly valuable and informative content all through the year. Got to the 2nd night in Manchester (with soundcheck!) and the first night in London. Both nights just amazing. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas. Des
Thank you for that very heartfelt review Andrew. I have only seen Paul twice, one in 1990 and once in 2019. While I loved that last concert I told myself that would be my last concert as I wanted to remember him while he was performing great, now after all these wonderful reviews I am hearing I hope he does return to the U.S. for another go round, I will definitely be there. Would love to see Now and Then and I've Got a Feeling if he continues with those songs. Hope you have a happy holidays and new year, take care !
I've been to the 3rd and 4th show of this tour, in Buenos Aires. His voice was magnificent and then crowd was in top form. I've seen him four times, but this tour was special, really really good.
I lost my sister to cancer this year. It's been the worst year of my life, but it was music that kept me going, especially Beatles-related stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Macca this year, but I have seen him 3 times before. I hope you have a better year ahead & keep on rocking. Take care Andrew, thanks for sharing your continuing love of The Beatles music & have a wonderful Christmas time. 🎄
As a member of the George Formby Society, it was nice to hear Paul mention George and his involvement with the society and the ukulele!
There's a great video of George playing the Ukulele at home look for "George Harrison plays the Ukulele at home"
@@beatlebrian4404and a video of himself and Jeff Lynne playing banjoleles.
Weirdly, I was listening to George Formby's song Hindoo Man on the weekend, with its East Indian chanting at either end of the song, and wondering if George heard that as a kid...
Hi Andrew, thanks for the review. I saw some of it on TH-cam. He’s great for 82! There’s no doubt about that. I watched Paul’s concert tour ‘The space between US’ the other day and as much as I worship Paul it was hugely different compared to him today. His mic for starters I was not turned down…His voice was so much more powerful. He was still singing the sweet songs like Here there and everywhere, I will, the long and winging road and yesterday which hasn’t done in years. Having said that I hope he comes to Dublin again soon and it’s great to hear he’s hoping to finish an all in soon. He’s still fantastic and long may he continue!
I was at the O2 for the last night Andrew. I’ve been to 4 of his gigs now. I find that his voice has obviously deteriorated, but as the evening progresses, he seems to get younger.
You may also be pleased to hear, as I was, his final words last night were ‘there’s nothing left to say now but… see you next time’! How pleased I was to hear that.
Great review Andrew! I was lucky to be at the O2 on Thursday and there are no words for seeing Paul and Ringo together ( even from my seat away up in the gods). He is an absolute legend (as if we didn’t already know). All the best for a wonderful Christmastime!
Merry Christmas, Andrew! Glad you enjoyed yourself at the Macca concert, he’s the main man!
Thanks very much, much appreciated! Have a very merry Smithsmas 🎅⛄🎄🍾
Andrew, I'm sorry to hear that you've had a tough year. Things will be OK in the end. Remember that each trial we have to face is all part of life's journey. I've struggled with rubbish times myself but one phrase has seen me through - "there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be".
Sending love
Yeah there are some phrases that just mean, oh... Just so much in life and come cume up at the most unexpected times in and stay with you a life time
I'll never forget what my mum said to me on her death bed, she said "remember you're a womble". And you know no matter where I am.. overground? underground? Or indeed just out and about being free I still carry that with me. I can hear her now.. Words to live by. Thanks mum 😢💓💓
Sorry to hear this year has been tough, Andrew. Here's to brighter days in 2025. I attended the 19th December show. Absolutely amazing night. I was sobbing by the end!
Saw him on the Sunday and got the same tee and programme! Great concert first time seeing either Beatle. Great great show, cried at wonderful Christmastime, never thought I'd see that song live. Great show, long live Macca
Andrew, I enjoyed your review of the Manchester concert. It made me smile as, at a concert some years ago, I too caught a single piece of the confetti released at the end of the show and have it tucked away inside a programme. I also felt the heat of the pyrotechnics during Live and Let Die.
Merry Christmas and I hope 2025 will be a better year for you.
Sounds like an amazing show. Let’s hope he continues at some point in 2025 behind a new album.
Hope 2025 will be better for you, Andrew. Always love watching your videos, you bring a lot of joy to TH-cam. 🙂
Saw him on the first Paris date. The place was packed and just the sheer age range of the fans in the audience was incredible. There was a little girl probably no more than about 7 or 8 having the absolute time of her life dancing at the front of our section for the majority of the show - it put a little tear in my eye I can't lie!
His voice was fantastic as well - and the change in his voice was the main reason I'd not purchased tickets for any of his tours over the past decade. To my ears he sounded even better than he did at Glastonbury.
I was at the 1st night at the O2 London, I've seen Paul on most of his tours and he never disappoints, great that he has finally added a brass section, his band are amazing, Rusty's guitar solos are spot on, perfect, too many highlights to mention but like you 'Maybe I'm amazed' if my favourite 'solo Paul' song and at the end the Golden Slumbers' medley, beautiful. I was lucky enough to go to the 'soundcheck'in the afternoon, what a treat, Flaming Pie, Let 'em in, Everyday, Queenie Eye and a few old rockers, that was my Xmas present to myself !! A day I will always remember.
Merry Christmas Andrew 🌲, Great review of Paul McCartney Live in Manchester 👍 flew down from San Francisco to Mexico City to see Paul live in concert, and the same thing you have said about his performance was exactly the same on November 14th, The man at 82 is nothing short of amazing and I cant help but think this may be the last time, but knowing Paul he just doesnt know when to stop, and you can clearly see that he loves performing live so I wouldnt be suprised if I see him once again live in concert.
Hey man, I'm sorry your 2024 was not good. I will tell you that your videos do bring me joy and I hope that can counteract whatever kept you down in 2024. Like the man says, it's getting better all the time. Here in the states, like a lot of the world, there is fear and loathing, but I know things will get better. Thank you again for your videos. Plus I love the Jaco Pastorius album in your background. As a bassist, he along with Paul McCartney, Marcus Miller, James Jamerson and Larry Graham are my main bass influences. Peace to you and a wonderful 2025 to you and your loved ones.
Thanks Gregory, much appreciated, have a great Christmas!
@@AndrewDixonMusic same here - and i know that many of us enjoy your videos simply because you are sincere, kind, intelligent and a definite positive force. It will get better.
Hey Andrew I was there 15/12 at Manchester was an awesome gig what a performer what a voice and his band were superb …I didn’t want it to end .. live and let die was amazing maybe my fav of the night with now and then .. once in a lifetime experience and I have seen the best performer and songwriter EVER .. take care Andrew keep doing what you do best that’s why I subscribed best Beatles and Paul info from you 🎸👍
Mate I was there too. Flew in from Germany on 10th of December for a trip to Liverpool and crowned it with the concert! It was mindblowing. My first time ever seeing him! Wished I had met you! Event of a lifetime!
Your video is lovely . I didn’t know things had been bad for you this year . Your remarks over how Paul can make you feel really resonated with me and made me feel a little tearful .
Liked and subscribed .
Have a merry Christmas Andrew ❤
Thanks Stuart, merry Christmas 🎄⛄
Andreww great show! Paul is the one and only! The London show yesterday Ringo and Ronnie Wood showed up that was great! Especially seeing Ringo best part of the show! Paul says shall we rock. Ringo i always rock Ringo says! Your right Andrew Paul's voice was good and the band!!! So Glad everyone had a great time Andrew!!!
Thanks Andrew When you got emotional discussing Golden Slumbers, you almost got me going too! All the best!
Love your enthusiasm and emotion, Andrew. Glad you had a great time. Sorry to hear about your troubles this year. Here's hoping for a better year in 2025.
I saw it twice. Once in Madrid and once in London. The best nights of my life. I cannot stop thinking about it. Absolutely incredible. I'm 19 and words cannot express how much Sir Paul means to me. Was crying for maybe I'm amazed, blackbird, here today and something. Blessed to have seen Wonderful Christmastime. My life is complete 😅. His voice live was so much better than I was expecting. I understand criticisms - it took him a few times to start Hey Jude in London as his voice broke the first couple of times! But he managed to turn it into a joke - but I thought he sounded amazng, and it was an honour to see the legend in person. Currently on a massive comedown from it 😂.
I thought it was absolutely amazing, 82 years old, the man is a machine. Sadly I lost my niece at the age of 18 2 months ago so this gig did make me smile and emotional. First time I've been on front row and I would have paid a grand for that show. My girlfriend isn't a big Beatles fan but she loved the concert. Highlight for me was Helter Skelter.
Excellent review and good to hear the possibility of more archive editions in the near future!
Cheers Larry, have a great Christmas!
Hey Andrew, the very same songs got me too. I was crying like a baby. I saw Wonderful Christmas time in Glasgow, I believe in 2018 so I was expecting it so close to Christmas. It didn't disappoint either, it was brilliant that the brass section dressed up. They were amazing btw. I loved how the stage lifted up for Backbird, just amazing. Nearly 3 hours of the best, I don't know how he does it at 82, but boy can he still rock. Yes his voice has deteriorated over the years, no wonder and so what! You can see just how much he loves doing it, he always did and that rubs off on the audience. He has us like putty in his hands. I'm delighted to have got to Manchester on the first night. Thanks, as per, for your reviews Andrew. Wish I'd bumped into you. All the best and it will be ok, I get it 🎉❤
Great review Andrew and I couldn't agree more about the way the man makes us feel. I was at the O2 last night and during Band on the Run I was thinking about all the times I've screamed along to it in the car in my own little world, or put Paul on the headphones for the train home after a shit day at work. Because he always makes us feel better.
I bought the same t-shirt!! I saw Paul in Paris. It was lovely to hear Paul speak French.
I saw him back in 2017 and it was great. Crazy that he’s still going at his age.
Thank you Andrew for your great review. Always a joy to hear you talk about all things Beatles. Your definitely for myself the go-to person in the UK. Cheers and than you again.
@@barrystagg5479 Thanks Barry, much appreciated 🙂👍
My wife & I were so lucky to see Paul in Adelaide last year, where he re-started his “Got Back” tour Down Under. So lucky to have seen a “live” Beatle! Incredible performance for an 81 yr old. (Lucky to have seen Ringo & his All Star Band in 2013 also). Feel very privileged to have been born in the late 60’s and lived through the Beatles era. Many of my friends would have loved to have been there too, but probably couldn’t afford to. Yes, I’ve seen the “Love Cirque de Soleil “ in Las Vegas too, and really hope that a Blu-ray will be released so I can show all my Beatles friends how wonderful that performance was, especially as many could not afford the ticket let alone the accommodation & flight from Adelaide. 🙏🤞🎶🎸😎 Thanks from your review Andrew, it brought back many fond memories. 👍😎
Seeing Paul McCartney Live is a wonderful experience and so is the power of music Andrew..I've seen Paul 3 times live since 2003 ...unfortunately couldn't get tickets, which killed me tbh being a massive fan since childhood...maybe I'm amazed, here today and golden slumbers all massive songs for me. And I get really emotional listening to them and live is unbelievable...I can see you were emotional Andrew and I really do hope as a long term subscriber you have a better 2025 !!! Great review I needed that since I wasn't there!
So glad to hear you had a blast!
i cant stop staring at Bryter Layter in the background :)
It's a beautiful album!
Thanks for the mice video. Andrew. I'm sorry your 2024 wasn't as good as you would have liked. Wishing you a great 2025! - Dave
Thanks Andrew. Glad that you enjoyed it. I was at O2 last night and it was a great show. I agree that his voice was much stronger than I expected.
My and i took my son(massive McCartney fan) on the Saturday at Manchester for his 13th birthday and then popped over to Liverpool in the morning to do all the "beatle stuff" around the city. Best weekend ever. Merry Christmas.
Fantastic review. I didn’t see the show but I did see him together with Wixx in 1989 in Rotterdam with ofcourse Linda aswell. Happy Holidays and greetings from 🇪🇸
Was there on same night as you Andrew. 2nd time seeing Paul. It was an incredible night. Crowd were electric. My wife - more of a Lennon fan - could not believe how good he was. It's the fact he could put together another 2 set lists of classics of similar quality. An incredible artist. The best. Sorry to hear 2024 has been rough. Sending love ❤️
I was able to see him for the first time yesterday and wow I couldn't have had a better first time.
A perfect experience and seeing Ringo was a feeling I have never felt!!
So glad the Manchester show was all up on their feet for the whole show like in the O2. So so electric!! I hope to catch Paul again take care Andrew!
A great evening you must have had. Also love the t-shirt.
Thanks for the story, a memory that will last forever.😉
Whatever it was that made 2024 a heard year, i felt it. Take good care and love to hear more from you.
Regards from the Netherlands.
Hi
A great review. Macca is back.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Take care.
Thanks, and a merry Christmas to you! 🎄⛄
There’s no way EVER to sit during a MACCA concert!….Unless you’re on the last row! I love your amazing comment about when Paul wasn’t singing! I last saw him 2019 Dodgers Stadium❤️❤️❤️ I want your shirt! I’ve loved him from day one!
I was there. Lovede it. Both Paul and the audience were on fire.
managed to see him a couple of times this tour and I'll be forever grateful - last night was the first night for me, though, where I cried at golden slumbers for obvious reasons! other than that, now and then as well as something simply can't not make me cry, it seems (it's the fantastic visuals that send me over the edge). I'm so, so glad you've managed to see him as well! as always, thank you for the great content - wishing you all the best, hope 2025 is going to treat you well! :)
Hi Andrew, great review. I was lucky to have been the O2 last night and knowing that Ringo had been in London last week I was hoping that he would appear but when Paul and the band played ‘Now And Then’ without him I thought that Ringo must have gone back in the US. The crowd reaction when he did come on was absolutely amazing and I will never ever forget seeing 2 Beatles playing together, Wow, amazing! Have great Christmas!
You chose a great night to be there! 👍 Happy Christmas ⛄
Wonderful review of what appears to have been a wonderful show; I very much appreciate your emotional response - that's what it's all about!
Im 21 years old & that 1st night at the o2 was my first ever concert, I am so unbelievably grateful I got to see the living legend/an actual Beatle, I thank God for the wonderful experience, the kind people I met such as Callum & Taichi to name a few, such a pleasant experience and something that will stick with me for the rest of my life! THANK YOU SIR PAUL
Andrew , fantastic review of Pauls concert, wish I could say have seen it. But all the clips it was so awesome Thank you Andrew, Paul will Forever be the best, I’ve seen Paul many times Everyone Amazing, Fantastic, and was in one second row and saw him upclose that I will remember forever. Andrew I want to wish a Very Merry Christmas, A Blessed and Happy for you and your family, A Happy New Year, 25 will be a great year for you, My Friend, Steve 🎄💥
@@stevebiesiadabada6669 Thank you Steve, merry Christmas to you 🎄⛄
Junior's Farm as the second song? My head would have exploded and I'd have missed the rest of the show, I need to be worked up to that! Great review, I've only seen Paul play once here in Halifax, but at least we got Mull of Kintyre, with friends of mine playing bagpipes on stage, so that was my show to remember (and I got to hear the soundcheck too, with some Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins and Coming Up thrown in).
Hi, Andrew is was there and i agree ditto with every appreciative comment it was an unforgettable experience to see the maestro at the top of his game 🥰
Brilliant review Andrew. I was at the O2 last night and I had the time of my life.
I can't see any future gigs I go to being able to top seeing Ringo on the stage with Paul. Two Beatles for the price of one😃.
I loved seeing Paul in 2003 but this gig was on an even higher level. The setlist was everything I could have dreamed of. Wonderful Christmas time was a highlight for me too. Great to see Ronnie Wood join the band for Get Back. As you say the brass section was superb especially on Letting Go and Got to get you into my life.
The tour program in Australia was free with entry. It's cool but in truth mostly an advert to make people aware of what Paul has done so you can buy the huge number of items available. Mostly a puff piece but that's fair enough at 82 years of age. What a wonderful review and one Paul fans for decades do understand how his positivity is such a huge part of the joy of his existence. I understand how his music can choke you up. Of course, like any human Paul has made big mistakes but unlike most of us he has been such a positive, generous and uplifting spirit. Without that the Beatles wouldn't have had that joy as well as all their musical brilliance. Thank you, Andrew. You too shine a very positive light on the world including when you and others might need it most.
P.S. A girl in my coffee shop has just commenced work there and is a mammoth McCartney-Beatles fan. Isn't that brilliant to know a 15-year-old can be an obsessed Beatles fan (with Paul as her favourite). She did not know that I was one too. She now will get all my McCartney and Beatles items when I die as all I have ever wanted was to know someone who would treasure it as I do. Both of us are wrapped with joy over this and her father who I spoke to who largely put her onto the Beatles. Coffees are so much more pleasurable when Beatles and McCartney music is being played over the speakers.
Thanks for another brilliant video, Andrew. Yours is my go-to channel for anything Beatles related and I was particularly interested to hear your thoughts, given that I was at the O2 on Wednesday. It still hasn't really sunk in and it probably won't for a long time. It's impossible to explain what Macca and his music means to me and so many people but your content has really helped me to understand my own feelings and thoughts about it all.
I'm sorry 2024 has been a horrible year for you - a wise man once said 'soon we'll be away from here, step on the gas and wipe that tear away'
I saw him on the 9th in Madrid. Absolutely amazing. I hope I get a chance to see him again someday . A true artist.
What a great review! I have seen Paul 11 times since 1989. I didn’t go the last few times as I wanted to keep the memory of the great voice of 2015. That said it looks like he is coming around again and I will go now (Denny!) 2024 not a good year here either but ❤ for 2025! You are like my British family Andrew! God Bless and have a great Christmas 🎄 with your family ❤!
Beautiful review, Andrew! Yes, he does that for us. He gives us those moments that bring tears, inspire, and bring us to a place of pure love. I always cry-happy, flowing tears. How do you thank someone who gave the soundtrack for your life? Whose music was always there? Who consciously made the choice to offer positive, uplifting music his entire life? There aren't words enough for it.
The last time Paul played MSG in New York City, I took my goddaughter, who was 20 at the time. She was thrilled but when he started Elenor Rigby, she began streaming tears and hugged me so tight. Paul gives us life moments that we will treasure forever.
We've been blessed to be alive for the career of one of the greatest musical geniuses the world has ever seen. When I was 12, at the Wings Over America Concert in 1976, I knew, just knew, that Paul was forever, and The Beatles were, too. How lucky we all are!
May 2025 be a much better, happier year for you, dear Andrew! Thank you so much for your live streams and videos. They bring so much joy!
Thank you Paula for your continued support, have a great Christmas!
Great review Andrew, especially how it affected your emotions. That's what great music can do. I hope you have a happy Christmas and best wishes to you and your family. All the best for a better 2025.
I got that T Shirt too!. First night at O2 for me. Fantastic show. Bit gutted I missed the Ringo spot the 2nd night but those the breaks. Also everyone stood up at O2 first song as well!
I went both nights, A Hard Day’s Night, Now And Then, Let Me Roll It, Jet and Get Back were my highlights. He sounded absolutely phenomenal! Roll on his 2025 album and hopefully a tour too!
Hope your ok Andrew, love your passion don’t lose it ever.
Andrew. Thank you for the review. Great you got to see the Cute One again. Brilliant. I’d to join your other followers in wishing you a Wonderful Christmas Time and a much much better 2025. Thanks Andrew.
Nice review Andrew, I saw Paul (and Ringo!) at the O2 on Thursday, was a wonderful show. I first saw him in 1990 and never dreamed he would still be going in 2024. For me, his voice sounded decent, particularly on songs like Maybe I'm Amazed. Hope you have a happy and peaceful Christmas. Best wishes for a better 2025.
Fantastic video! Been on TH-cam watching the videos of the concerts. When you mentioned Maybe I'm Amazed, I even started tearing up. I was thinking about that song a few days ago. I bought the album when I was in college. A long time ago. If I find that tour book on eBay, I'm buying it. Thank you for the concert review. McCartney is #1. Makes me happy!
Hello Andrew merry Christmas snd Happy new year
I went on the 14th too and it was amazing, my 11th time seeing him.
I first saw him in 1990 that was my first time seeing a Beatle in 1990 then in 1992 I was so lucky to be at George’s Royal Albert Hall concert and I only found out the night before it happened.
I went to the O2 on Wednesday. Truly a dream come true. Went with my dad who last saw Paul live 61 years ago. It was fantastic!
Great review, I tried to get tickets for Manchester...would loved to have gone. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 🎄
Great review of the McCartney show you went to, Andrew. I must say I am a little surprised you have only seen McCartney 6 times. I lived in the Los Angeles area most of my life and have seen every show on every tour McCartney has played. I guess me being 72 I can easily have seen him back when Wings in '76, their first tour came through and throughout. I don't know what it is that can do that, but I am glad you got a little emotional. It's happened to me as well, but only at McCartney shows. I saw McCartney's last tour of the States in Seattle Washington, but I don't expect I will be able to afford to see him again as ticket prices are very expensive now-a-days and that is if he tours over here tours again. That was his first show he had played in a while and his voice was not very good, but it still was a McCartney show and was great. Anyway, I do hope you will get to enjoy McCartney one more time. To you and yours, have a merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.
Great review, Andrew. You conveyed what it felt like to be there, moment by moment, song by song brilliantly. I hope I get the chance to see McCartney live. It would be an emotional experience like no other. As you rightly point out, who else has that catalogue of songs. They echo through people's memories and lodge there as soul comforters. Take care and hope things will be better for you next year.
I was there and I agree with your review. It was a special night. 2024 has been tricky for me too and this gig just lifted me right up. I'm still buzzing off it and all the great reviews. Sad we didn't get Ringo but hey ho. A fab night. Have a great Christmas. Onwards✊️
Hello Andrew, what a great concert and evening, thanks for sharing the experience! Agree with you that "Hey Jude" and some other songs could have been swopped. The list is long. Imagine hearing i.e.: "Getting Closer", "Take it away" or " Once upon a long ago" live...But we have got so much from Paul through the years and the fact that he still is standing there doing great concerts is just fantastic! I hope he and Ringo will continue for many more years.
Thanks for the review, Andrew. Unfortunately here in the states we haven’t seen Paul in a while. I am hoping 2025. He comes back. I’ve seen him now numerous times and everything you were talking about as far as when you get choked up is when I get choked up. Whatever he does, Maybe I’m Amazed, I lose my mind. I think his band is amazing and I thought so since they started in oh one. Also, thanks for the info about the archive collection article because I was wondering if it actually mentioned you know keep watching. I hope 2025 is better for youand whatever you need you get
Amused to hear you also caught a peice of paper from Wonderful Christmastime! I did the same, and glued it between a couple of glass microscope slides and labelled it 'Wonderful Christmastime - McCartney 2024'. My new lucky charm 😂
In Madrid I queued up for 10 hours and managed to just get the row - so felt the heat of Live and Let die. I saw videos of the 2nd night at London and saw there was a malfunction, so the explosions went off at the wrong time during the peaceful 'you used to say live and let live' part - which made Paul jump - but he seemed to take it in good humour! Gutted to have missed Ringo and Ronnie Wood by 1 day though.
Andrew. Thank you for a brilliant review. I didn't get the chance to see Paul this time. Not being nosey. But you got to me feeling emotional. It brought it all back to me to actually meet John and Yoko at the Dakota. And very much later hearing the dreadful news. I'm sure you've got a lot going on around you in your personal life. But rest assured we're all he for you.
I once some years ago you to drink in a pub. Called The Cow Shed. In Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill. Got to know the manage and family quite well. Imagine years later I heard that's where Paul's Original Bass was found up in the loft. That's all I know about.
Anyway Make sure you have a Great Christmas, see you on here in the New Year. 2025.
Thanks Graham, have a great Christmas
Thanks for the rundown, Andrew. I love it when musicians keep it going. I've seen a few fun clips. Happy Christmas and New Year to you!!
Same to you Mazzy, have a great one!
Wonderful review of the show in Manchester. In addition, love the concert tee! ( I have many Paul/Wings tees- at some point have to get that one). Glad you had a lovely time. I suspect many people have emotional experiences at each Macca concert experience. Sir Paul is a treasure to the World
Nice review, so glad you got a chance to see Paul !! Been awhile for me but I saw him in 1976 and about 8 other times after that . I got a wonderful 2 Cd set of Paul in Buenos Aires and in soundboard stereo and loving it and mainly because of Now and Then on it. Happy Christmas to you Andrew. Lets hope 2025 will be a better year for you and everyone here.
Fantastic Andrew! Ob-La-Di,-Ob-La-Da & In Spite of All The Danger = double fantastic! Cheers!
Hey Andrew, the last time I saw Sir Paul was 30 years ago at Arco arena in Sacramento California U.S.A. I won tickets where I worked at and it was the first and probably the only time I would see Paul in concert. The best part of the concert was where we were seated. We were literally just 10 feet from the stage. It was awesome to see him live. When they opened the Golden one center in Sacramento where the Sacramento Kings play Paul McCartney was the first artist to open up the area. I couldn't afford to see him then let alone now. Glad you had a good time, and your right at 82 we might not see him live God willing in the future. Take care Andrew
I was at night 2 and the first song they played was Can't Buy Me Love, amazing show, glad I went! The best concert I've been to just on the basis of it being Paul McCartney!
Also bought the same shirt you're wearing here at the venue!
Wow what a great review Andrew I’m sure it was a rollercoaster of a night what a lasting memory I’m sure. Keep up your great reviews hear you in the new year , all the best.
Really good video Andrew. I went to Madrid to see Paul for the first time and was very surprised by how good his voice was. The Spanish crowd were excellent too on the night, great show all round.
Fantastic. Thanks for the review Andrew. Firstly hope your 2025 is better for you than this year and sending you all the best. I took my two teenage boys to last night’s O2 gig and it was as amazing as you described. Particularly poignant for me as both my Grandfather and Mum and Dad saw the Beatles in ‘64 (although didn’t hear much!!) - Mum and Dad in Leeds… so to take my boys was really special. Amazing how the generations have taken to him- one of my son’s friends cancelled his ski trip so he could go with his grandfather. Anyway it was a fantastic evening. Thank you again for all your great videos - always so enjoyable and informative. Cheers and Merry Xmas Simon
I consider myself so fortunate to have been at the second night at the o2. To see Paul and Ringo on stage together was beyond my wildest dreams.
I last saw him 20 years ago and this concert felt Ike a celebration of his life's work. I kept reminding myself that this is the same guy who played in the cavern with the boys, played on the roof top, the same guy who I watched a few weeks ago at the cinema at the peak of his powers with Wings. What an incredible man.
I also found myself choking up at the usual places, Maybe I'm Amazed, Here Today, Something...and the one that unexpectedly made me blubber like a baby was Let It Be. It's been a tough year personally and it just hit so hard.
He’s years passed he’s sell bye date
This is such a great video (as always!), thank you for your reflections. A great review of a great night, I love the detail you give and your passion for the music and the honest impact it has on you (massively relatable). Cheers! Gary Crimble and Merry Rudolph to you and yours Andrew, here's to a happy 2025👍✌️
Merry Christmas ☃️🎄and Happy New Year, Andrew!🎉🥂🍾
@@jltbass56 Thank you, and the same to you! 🎄⛄
Thanks for the great review. Have a wonderful Xmas too🤘🏻
Great video Andrew, an inspiring watch/ listen, all the best for 2025
Was there on Saturday night as well, 6th time seeing Paul (3x 2003, 2011 & 2015). Absolutely agree with every word of your review, except it was Maybe I'm Amazed that got me, it was our first dance at our wedding. 17yo son who can barely remember seeing Paul in Liverpool in 2015 had an absolute ball, conceding that his old man had cause to buy all those boxsets. Also worth mentioning that once you actually go into the Co-op Live, aside from the teeny tiny seats, that the sighlines and sound was fantastic. We were up in block 314 (we could see the horns behind you for Letting Go) and the sound was impeccable. Finally a shout out to the rest of the audience - respectfully quiet during the acoustic numbers, on their feet and singing for the up tempo ones. No bad behaviour and the people around me drowned Paul out (in a good way) during Something. A night for the ages and on par with seeing Paul for the first time in 2003.
Great review. Thanks, Andrew. Best Wishes for 2025.
Same to you!
Thank you for your detailed and heartfelt description of the show. Wishing you the best for 2025. And long live Macca.
Great review! I went on Sunday for my first time seeing Paul live. And I was blown away!
I expected something similar to Glastonbury so was made up that he did Drive My Car, Now and Then & Wonderful Christmastime. In Spite of All The Danger/Love Me Do really impressed me, the audience absolutely loved it. I couldn't believe the heat coming off the Live And Let Die pyro! There was some shouldering equipment and I was briefly worried about an evacuation!
His voice sounds great all things considered, and he's still got absolutely commanding stage presence.
I hope I get another chance to see him, but if that's it, I will consider myself very fortunate.
Great review Andrew thank you and thanks for your incredibly valuable and informative content all through the year. Got to the 2nd night in Manchester (with soundcheck!) and the first night in London. Both nights just amazing. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas. Des
I was there at the second Manchester gig. A super special night!
Awesome concert, loved every second! I'm actually right behind you, I can see myself in the picture of the brass band 😂
Excellent, was wondering if someone in that picture would make themselves known!
Thank you for that very heartfelt review Andrew. I have only seen Paul twice, one in 1990 and once in 2019. While I loved that last concert I told myself that would be my last concert as I wanted to remember him while he was performing great, now after all these wonderful reviews I am hearing I hope he does return to the U.S. for another go round, I will definitely be there. Would love to see Now and Then and I've Got a Feeling if he continues with those songs. Hope you have a happy holidays and new year, take care !
Thanks Sharon, have a great Christmas!
It was absolutely incredible. Such a great set list. Such a great band and wow McCartney is the greatest ever! So so so many incredible songs
Wonderful review of the concert, thanks for sharing your thoughts - great video as ever. Happy xmas
Great review Andrew.... lovely to share emotions I do it on my radio show . It's real and personal. 👍🏻🎙️🎼🎶🙏
I've been to the 3rd and 4th show of this tour, in Buenos Aires. His voice was magnificent and then crowd was in top form. I've seen him four times, but this tour was special, really really good.
Beautiful review, Andrew!
