Last night's Macca set was excellent, as were the surprise guests and the ending was wonderful...80 years and a 2 1/2 hour set in front of over 100,000 people and TV cameras. Well done Sir, I loved it!!
Yeah the voice was wobbly, but from time to time we could still detect the old McCartney twang. But feck me the back catalogue! And he could very likely have done another set of the same length from amazing songs he left out. Nothing wrong with aspiring to rock and roll at an advanced age, even I have been known to jig around the living room to DigDat, and nobody is more of and old git than me.
One of the most enjoyable gigs I have ever been to. I have seen Macca before but the set was longer, well thought through, touching and full of surprises. A real 5* affair! Love and peace to the man ❤️
Expect some negative comments later from everyone else that doesn't get hip hop.
I used to think that, its just a difference of taste mate. For people getting fuzzy in the gusset about Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Kendrick Lamarr will be like reading a book af Arabic scripture
I'll watch, I thought his performance at the brit awards a few years ago was shite but I can blame that on ITV censoring pretty much every lyric but clearly there is something about him. In truth Paul McCartney doesn't mean much to me personally, I was born waaaay after the Beatles and as much as I can appreciate what they did for popular music and their songs on their own merit it doesn't hit me as much as say Noel Gallagher. I'll give it a spin though and get judgie after that.
What I will say is Yungblub were different class. The frontman was insane, guitarist a legitimate guitar hero and they had plenty bangers
Sleaford Mods, Wet Leg, the always excellent Wolf Alice and HAIM all caught my eye and in the case of HAIM I didnt realise how much talent they had in their collective locker. Thought it was just bassy pop with a hilarious bass player

I was unimpressed by Noelle Gallagher but clearly he is popular with others. I got the impression that he was dismissive and cynical about performing in what ostensibly is supposed to be an uplifting experience for everybody, I found that alienating personally. Should a performer take the stance that he or she is doing the audience a favour, or should a performer be glad there is an audience?

He was interviewed by Jo Whiley after & he came across well. His stage persona is totally different. He had a ball & was off to rock out with his Manc mates for the rest of the festival.

The difference is no one would call Paul McCartney/another band 'not real music'.
But those kind of comments will be out in force tonight. Difference between saying something isn't to your taste and slagging off the genre altogether.

They were way before my time but I got into the Beatles over lockdown and I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner.
There were kids there younger than mine singing all the words. Timeless. So glad I watched that.
That was the ultimate headline act.
And in the end……....................
Sir Paul forever.♥️
More energy than me thats for sure...
Well done Sir, I loved it!!

Judging from this setlist it's going to be greatest hits from start to finish.
