My front row was the best of my life too , musically speakingQuote
MisterDDDD
Showed up early again and enjoyed Pails show from the front rail in the pit and was blown away. Great show (much cooler and breezy) and Pauls show was as good as I could have hoped for.
But.. The Stomes show from the front row was the better show.. Not just my fanboy opinion either.. It created a lot more post show buzz and excitement and remains best of DT2 (so far )

Anybody have Neil's set list? Did he sit in with Sir Paul again?
Rockin in the Free World... it was worth it... but then the scopes were gone for the night, no encore... nothing but a lingering Neil Young jones to go with my Stones jones.

Neil Young played two intimate shows at the Fox Theater in Pomona in between his Desert Trip weekends, and while they may not have been 'pop-up' gigs at a hole in the wall, they were certainly unique and out of the norm.
As for super hero collaborations at Desert Trip, gotta give Paul credit for having Neil on stage with him. Dylan joining the Stones (or vice versa) would have been good, but other than that can't think of any scenario which might have been one for the ages and/or truly memorable or worthwhile. But who knows, lots of missed opportunities perhaps. Someone had previously mentioned the opportunity of a grand finale featuring all the bands on stage for a giant sing along ala We Are the World, and all I could envision was a stirring version of Kumbaya.

Paul also gave a fantastic show on October 13th at Pappy & Harriet's Palace in Pioneertown Ca. In that show he also played songs not in his regular rotation:
1. Juniors Farm
2. Hi Hi Hi
3. Birthday
4. I Saw Her Standing There
BTW, the 22 songs he laid down in the very small club still surpassed the Stones 20.

Yes, my post was in response to HankM who stated Paul was the only one "who took the chance chance to play some pop up shows out at some hole-in-the wall".
As for Paul's show and setlists at Pappy and Harriets, or both Desert Trips, or wherever he's been playing for the last 10 years...yawn.
With that said, I know people love and enjoy Paul McCartney and his type of show, so am happy for all of those that do.
One things certain, even his best shows will never match the Rolling Stones LIVE.

I was able to attend the Neil show Oct 12 at The Fox in Pomona. The show was loud and angry with amazingly rockin guitar from him and Promise of the Real. Great small venue for him. Started with a half hour version of Like an Inca and finished with an encore of Roll Another Number and Piece of Crap (not sure who he was referring to but I can guess).
In between a great bluesy Cortez the Killer, I am a Child, Powderfinger, Cowgirl in the Sand. All the songs were great as he is really playing with a chip on his shoulder. Overall mostly loud rock and roll without much banter.
He is truly a rock n roll legend.
