Ah yes, that Neil Young track was on his first EP and it is pretty enjoyable. Well it doesn't sound like anyone was embarrassed to be viewing a train crash so that's a plus and as you say it must have been a bit special being in a small place with the Macca clan and Ronnie...and a lot of Stones' diehards in the first row!

It turns out Macca Jr will be playing in SF too on April 9th, minus Ronnie and Macca Sr, unfortunately that's 3 days before I'm due to get there :-( Anyway here is his US tour schedule : [www.allgoodseats.com]

This must have been embarrassing.

Simon Cowell was there.

I love and respect Paul McCartney and have done since my teens but this persistence in trying to establish his sons career it is clear that he has no talent does him discredit both as a musician and as a father. Without the McCartney name James wouldn't get beyond the initial audition on the X Factor. Paul should be brave and compassionate and have a word.

Saw him on Letterman and I was likewise impressed.

I'm pretty sure this would be agonizing for PM. How do you crush your sons dream?

It's not as if he'd be wanting for money I'm sure...James probably does it for the love of music and hates that he'll never get out of the shadow. He's no youngster any more and has probably resolved it in his head though.

It's just one of those things.

I saw him at Ronnie's Bluesfest last year in Hammersmith - his spot in that show was the low point of the evening by miles. Can't sing and no stage presence whatsoever, as noted by quite a few others here!

Give the kid a break. He was raised by 2 animal rights/vegan nutjobs. He's bound to have an issue or 3 to work through.

Can't be doing with all this celeb s**t, I think I was already getting my chops round a glass of red wine in the Cambridge pub by the time this scrum was occurring outside the theatre. But hey .... each to their own

Even more embarrassing - SC the most overrated stupid.

Yes indeed, what on earth was Simon Cowell doing there ? Dear o dear !

Another clip from Wednesday:

This clip is okay, and why should McCartney not support his son. The X-Factor has nothing to do with music by the way.

Not bad indeed even with this low sound quality, hopefully there will e more to come!

Hope not!!!

Here's a third clip from the gig. Don't know its title though.

Oh, just like Ronnie Wood said in the introduction, the song above is called Thinking About Rock'n Roll.
Here's a review and the complete setlist from a James McCartney fanclub-site:

Concert review: James McCartney at The Ambassadors Theatre



On Wednesday 27th March in the beautiful setting of the Ambassadors Theatre, James McCartney gave a blissful rendition of the material for his forthcoming 47-date U.S. tour.

Sharing the stage with him and helping to make the night an unforgettable one, Rolling Stones legend, Ronnie Wood accompanied him on guitar for new songs, notably Mexico and Snow, making the sold-out theatre go wild with deafening cheers.

With his shyness and delicate stage presence, James presented his soon-to-be-released first album Me (out on 21st May on ECR Music Group) in an aura of shimmering beauty, enchanting everybody with his profound voice: “For my first album I wanted to make a record that would be intimate, deeply personal, and honest. An album that would say, ‘This is who I am…both musically and personally. This is me.’” And that is exactly what he did.

Alongside this he played some of his previously released singles, including Angel and My Friend (from his debut EP Available Light) and it was then, during his dedication of one song to “Mum and Dad”, that Sir Paul surreptitiously left his seat in the audience to take the stage and, almost unnoticed, made his way behind the piano, playing backing vocals and piano to his son’s last songs, As Strong As You and It’s All About Rock ‘n’ Roll. Seeing the three on the same stage, sharing the radiant vibe fluttering around them, was a truly magical experience.

And the most striking thing was that although two of the world’s greatest music legends were there, James’ talent was not at all obscured. He made his own way through their blinding light and, better yet, he shone with them.

Verdict: ••••

From the eyes down to his chin he looks uncannily like his dad.

When I see this embrace I feel happy for Ronnie!

James looks the bartender at the restaurant down the street. No offense. I have no idea what his music is good or bad
