He struggled in the beginning, but after the first verse he was singing quite good, imo.
Yes
It's less dramatic when they are playing huge venues, necessary some would say. Mick is the king of dramatic postures, they're just taking cues from the greats. That band is smokin'. peace
LOL..Now I see we have some Macca fans overreaching to try and use Macca to knock the Stones..
How long was Mick going to sing when he cancelled? Macca sang one song..
How many songs each plays is meaningless. How long doe Macca play and how long does the Stones play.
And how many times does Paul sit at a stool and act like he is pouring tea? That's the most important stat.
OK good point. But I wasn't really trying to knock the Stones, just praising McCartney for not cancelling even though he obviously was a bit worn, likely from his long performance the night before. peace
I thought the same thing, but I assumed he had a cold or a little scratchy from the previous nights show.
Actually it is very meaningful. 39 Songs compared to 19 is two Stones shows but with different songs. At least with McCartney, the effort is there. The Stones have a vast catalog of short 2 to 3 minute numbers they could roll out themselves but refuse to satisfy their audience as a whole. That is sad.
Who cares how many songs you play, its how long you play. All you are saying is you prefer shorter songs. Others may not...
Oh, now I know it. Then my memory wasn't as foggy as I thought:
How are you, Beatle-basher MICHAEL SAVAGE!
Yes, Mick is the king of dramatic postures, but that doesn't mean these guys are masters at it,
or that I have to like being distracted by a whole band of fellows each going all out with the overcooked drama
in ways that didn't really suit a small stage, or fit well with what was going on with the frontman.
I did note (above) that the band is good, but I still say Paul would've been better off
going with a "Plan B" song when he woke up to find his voice had gone south.

I totally agree. At least, the posing should make a good fit with the music. The guitar player here was raising his arms and pointing at himself in the middle of a rather quiet part of the track. That looks silly, imo, but each to their own, I guess...
Talk about your favorite band.

It's in the Village, NYC, I believe.
No, it's in an area called Union Plaza.
It's a little north of the Village, around 14th St.

Dear lord, I just watched Macca's SNL performance. I love the man and most of his music, but his voice is GONE! Watch it. When he begins singing Maybe I'm Amazed it is painful, embarrassing.

I wonder why he didn't opt for a less taxing number, since his voice was off on sick leave.
It seemed like an odd choice anyway to celebrate a comedy show, but with the audible strain in his voice
it came across as more harrowing than entertaining, as in "ohh that poor man, what pain he's in"
which I reckon isn't the effect he wanted. I hope not anyway.
His band is good but do they always go so way overboard with the dramatic postures?

Yes, he was having a hard time. I suspect and hope he's just having a temporary problem and unlike Mick with his cancellation in Australia, he's such a pro that he decided to do the show anyway. I saw him this summer and he had no such problems. Besides he sure puts a lot of heart and feeling into it, amazingly so.
Here is the performance with Keith's introduction:

Actually it is very meaningful. 39 Songs compared to 19 is two Stones shows but with different songs. At least with McCartney, the effort is there. The Stones have a vast catalog of short 2 to 3 minute numbers they could roll out themselves but refuse to satisfy their audience as a whole. That is sad.

That was a pretty solid set-list from Macca - very Beatle heavy! Saw him play Yankee Stadium a few years back, and he was indeed one hell of a concert!!

Makes even more sense now why Mick is singing every three nights on average,
I felt sorry for Paulie, after his concert the night before,
He probably thought he could pull it off and then do the one number on SNL too,
the night after. Maybe the enthuiasm of the crowd at Irving Plaza had him pushing
his voice very hard, and I'd guess the weather didn't help.
~"Love is Strong"~

Yes, Mick is the king of dramatic postures, but that doesn't mean these guys are masters at it,
or that I have to like being distracted by a whole band of fellows each going all out with the overcooked drama
in ways that didn't really suit a small stage, or fit well with what was going on with the frontman.
I did note (above) that the band is good, but I still say Paul would've been better off
going with a "Plan B" song when he woke up to find his voice had gone south.
