[atlantaprog] Paul McCartney

Well, Certainly NOT prog but my wife and I were stunned at how excellent Paul 
McCartney was last night at Phillips Arena. After enduring 25+ minutes of this 
absolutely terrible DJ/remix-master, Paul's band hit the stage opening with 
Magical Mystery Tour, and essentially "letting-it-rip" for 2+ hours. Highlights 
for me were: The Long and Winding Road, Elenor Rigby, Live and Let Die, 
BlackBird, and a medley that included a portion of Hendrix's Foxy Lady with 
Paul doing a pretty decent guitar solo on a Gibson Les Paul!!!!. Song from his 
new CD were really nice too. I was particularly impressed with how well the 
Wings material sounded. Those songs really ROCKED. For being 63 years old, 
Paul's voice was in EXCELLENT shape. He hit every note spot-on. (well, there 
may have been one or two notes that were stretched, but otherwise his singing 
was wonderful). All-in-all, we had a fantastic time. Even though it was touted 
as being sold-out, I saw many empty seats.........Harold
