Paul McCartney @ AT&T 7/10/2010
Sir Paul lives up to his legend. What a great showman. What a great show. Predictable, yet satisfying. He does all the hits and played a decently long set. Sold out - 43K was it? Floor started at $250, nosebleed was like $50, next tier was already 3 digits.
The intro was rather annoying - a long (like 30+ min) video montage set to a rave mix of McCartney hits. The stage was fairly unimpressive, just two large banner-like TV screens on either side and another central TV screen behind the stage. He was backed by a 5-piece that could replicate the Beatles & Wings well enough. What more do you want from Sir Paul?
I totally called Jet as an opener (even tho it was second). Paperback Writer made me laugh. Helter Skelter was extremely enjoyable. My fav part was my fav Bond song, Live and Let Die. There was massive pyro during the musical charge, and even a red, green and gold strobe effect for that bridge of reggae before the "give the other fella hell" lyric.
