McCartney In Boston

I had the opportunity to catch the McCartney concert in Boston on the 26th. Aside from the currently published set list, he did "Live and Let Die" toward the end of the night. He had some lame *** DJ playing some McCartneyesque music (if you want to call it that) as a warm up. I thought it was totally inappropriate for the show. The brief bio at the beginning was a real good idea. We tried to catch him as he stepped off the bus but was only able to catch Abe, Rusty, Wix, and Brian. They walked to fast to get any autographs. I think Paul might have been on the bus and they took him in through a different door. Concerts would be OK if it wasn't for the people. One woman almost got thrown out because she was harassing the staff. One of the arena staff told this little girl to get down off the seat she was standing on. I didn't see anything wrong with her standing on the chair but obviously the staff member did. The woman was up one side of the staff member and down the other. It's a wonder they let her drunken *** stay in the arena.
The show was great. Paul is showing his age and his voice was raspy at the beginning but became fine tuned during the second half. He screwed up "I Will" and had to stop and start again. I think "Penny Lane" was the highlight song of the night even though they were all very good. The new tunes are better in concert than on the CD, although the new CD is the best ever.
