Paul To Livestream Special New York Concert

H1

Over the last days, Paul has been teasing fans and hinting at something coming this week in New York City. Today he confirms he will be joining forces with YouTube Originals to livestream a secret concert via his channel this coming Friday 7th September to celebrate the release of his new album Egypt Station.

Fans will be able to tune in to watch Paul perform tracks from Egypt Station along with Beatles, Wings and solo classics from 8:00pm (ET). The venue is still to be confirmed.

Terrific, too bad that means 2AM in Europe ! Now to look for a way to time the recording of the stream ;-)

Thanks Christiano, will tune in to that.
5PM my time... perfect.

I've reviewed Egypt Station for The Arts Desk - where I published the Twickenham Stones review in the summer (#bestgigoftheyear) - here is the link for Macca heads. I really really liked a bunch of songs, though I reckon it's 57 minuts could have been cut to 45 or so... But it's just great stuff, catchy as hell, some good riffery and a lean feel to it, except for the melodic fecundity... Only had a stream, and a day before I had to write, so it is a very instant review, more or less on one listen.

Don't want to sway opinions but on first play I'm not in love with the new CD. But yeah there are some catchy parts,just not enough to save it in my opinion. Maybe it will grow on me. On the more positive side I really like all these special events he's been doing lately. Can't wait to see him in December.

Thanks for the great review, I can't wait to hear the new album tomorrow!

Paul guests on Marc Maron's latest WTF podcast:




Sir Paul McCartney

Marc talks with Paul McCartney about, well, a lot: The Beatles and Stones rivalry that wasn’t, his current relationship with Ringo, the influence of Little Richard, The Who, The Beach Boys, how he needs to have an out-of-body experience to really examine the Beatles legacy, the reception of his solo work after the Beatles, recording Band on the Run in Nigeria, what messages are in his songs, which songs still make him emotional when he performs them, and what he brought to the table for his latest album, Egypt Station.

McCartney on Maron? I definitely need to check that out.

Great, thank you bye bye johnny!

Can't wait to listen to it...

~"Love is Strong"~

In setting up that podcast interview, Maron's comment "one of two Beatles left" still hurts, even after all this time...

Fantastic podcast interview with Maron!

Paul McCartney and Jimmy Fallon Surprise Fans in 30 Rock Elevators

Nice...Paul is here, there, and everywhere.

Paul's hair seems to be getting lighter and lighter/more natural looking - Mick should do the same.

Cute sketch. Paul has always been a pretty good sport. Definitely lookin older but hey, still a legend. Amazing what he's still able to do.

Loved the Maron interview. Thanks for the link! Still have to listen to his Stern one.

Ha, that was great. I would LOSE MY MIND if that had been me.

Egypt Station can be listened on Spotify and on YouTube.

Regarding Macca's willingness to "go natural" with hair color...

...it seems he's got a very skilled stylist...

...sort of, to ease fans into the transition...

...because he's got a lot more color at 76 than he should have.

Look at a snap from his 1986 promo vid for the Press single...



...Already strikingly silvery on top and sides -- and that was 32 years ago...

...he may now have a few strands with [dull] color left, but not as many as he's been seen with lately...



No, it's very skillful and calculated...

...the same way that Jack Klugman's toupee was...

Mick would never do it. Because he'd look like Don Knotts in Three's Company:

Would you let your grandmother marry a Rolling Stone if he looked like Don Knotts?

I'm having my first spin of it now. We are lucky having Mick sounding as good as he does, regarding his age. Paul does not, imo.

That said, he wears his aging voice with pride, and the songs I've heard so far are pretty good/okay. Happy With You sounds promising.

Hi Dandy, I too like the sound of "happy with you" but I kind of lose it when I think of the dippy lyrics. Seems kind of ordinary, I smoked pot now I don't because I found you kind of stuff. Maybe I'm being too critical. I'm going to step back a little and re-evaluate later. In the meantime I hope the live feed today/tonight on YouTube will be great.

I don't think we talk enough about how amazing it is that Mick can still sing the way he does at his age.

Part of it is that his physical fitness and stage performance tends to overshadow his actual singing, but he really is a freak of nature in more ways than one. There are so many aging singers in the rock genre that give cringeworthy performances.

Here's another podcast. Hope its not the same already posted.
