LIVE ROCK CRITIC 37 PAUL McCARTNEY
Paul McCartney played the Sandy Relief Concert on 12 12 12 and Saturday Night Live i5 12 12
.
goes on, he makes no mistakes. He does not slow down or sing off key. Right on Paul.McCartney is
venturing into new musical art in " Valentine ". I am not fond of string heavy slow romantic tunes but
Paul can pull it off. I thought he had done a two minute performance and I thought that is how he
kept my interest, short. The song was more like four minutes that seemed like two .
McCartney has the resources to play two songs with two separate and striking ensembles. The second
ensemble is a very nice three piece rock band, the " surviving Nirvana members". Paul calls the
performances with Nirvana jams and he jams using an electrified hillbilly cigar box ukulele with
plates and a slide. Grohl is a bit over the top for how good his drums are, not he high point of the jam
for sure. The ensemble sounds a bit disorganized to me but the Saturday Night Live Crowd is wildly
enthusiastic. McCartney is right on with his vocal, whooping successfully where so many fail,
screaming and roaring and he looks small beside the Nirvana bassist , but Paul is loud.
Paul is joined by the Nirvana survivors again at the Sandy Relief Concert. Another very energetic jam
with high points created by McCartney, some very fact staccato vocal work with a helter skelter
tone. McCartney signals he will reach out from the wildest Beatles creations , harder, more Rock. I
do agree, time for more hard rock! Wipe away the faux and posed geeks who permeate music today.
McCartney continued with smooth perfect rehearsed performances "Live and Let Die" was
spectacular. Once again the resources spent on McCartney's multiple ensembles and pyrotechnics and
light show is staggering and amazingly effective. Paul is trying to make a new name for himself once
again. "Let Me Rock It" features a nice Beatles style Les Paul and it is well played by Sir
McCartney. Simple tasteful and direct and accurately on key.
"Helter Skelter was electric, beyond Beatles. Paul sings on key and I think that the failure to be on
key makes so many bands unenjoyable, off key grates on my nerves. On key makes me feel like we
are flying, synchronized, connected, together. " Blackbird featured some acoustic guitar by
McCartney that was better than good.
