Macca's voice is weaker now but he works hard. Still amazing to watch!

Seems difficult to sing out there in the desert, but Paul sure gives all he got

^ The funny thing about Paul is that he is a great songwriter but lousy storyteller.
I believe he says the same things at every gig, and everything is dripping in bathos. You wait for a mind-blowing anecdote about Jimi or John, and all he says is that they were great guys. On Saturday he talked about Jimi's guitar being out of tune at some gig attended by Eric - and the story just went nowhere. He can drop names like a Vanity Fair writer, but can't do anything with them.
Contrast with Townshend, who is hilarious - and on Sunday he called Keith Moon a w@nker, and laughed about Entwistle's death. His comment about Bowie babysitting his younger brother was more interesting than anything that Paul said.
I hope the Stones bring out Ringo (or Yoko!) - that would be a great FU.

As I'm sure you know- not possible. Ringo is scheduled to do shows in Washington state this weekend. Yoko is busy with her Iceland project and at age 83, finally past any urge to "get back" at Paul.

Ringo Shmingo...
As I've never bothered to see him live, it would be great if he made an appearance very much.
With that said, I don't think he could help the overall monotony of Paul's set.

I'll tell ya what's monotonous- pointless bashing of McCartney.

Lol...great to see this old thread again and your delayed reply...."pointless bashing"?
I've stated on record here several times that the Beatles are my all time favorite #1 band.
What might seem a 'pointless bash' to you, is actually steeped in knowledge, experience, peace, love, and understanding.
To sum up and condense my previous review earlier in this thread (Oct. 9), Paul was the weakest link at Desert Trip - both weekends.

Really I thought Dylan and the Stones (gasp) weren't all that stellar on the first weekend...2nd weekend the Stones were much better.

Merely your opinion. He's getting older, no doubt and his voice isn't anything like it was even five years ago. However, anyone who champions a set list by a group of 70 year old plus musicians that hasn't essentially changed since 1972 is a full blown hypocrite.
