Me too. Great show. He is in very good health as we saw him jogging up and down the stairs to his piano stage. Hopefully he has many more birthdays ahead!

You won’t see people packing the house to see Tupac when he’s 80
But much more sophisticated musicians like Sonny Rollins , Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Hancock, etc..... have already done this without singing 60 year old teeny bopper tunes.

Quit acting as if Rock is high art.

The voice isn't what it used to be but that's understandable. He has a great backing band and they crank out close to 40 songs each show. Pretty unbelievable energy from an 80 year old. Music keeps you young.

The highlight of the show is always when he brings out the ukulele and plays the first half of Something on it then the band comes in for the second half. George Harrison was the best songwriter on the Beatles by the end of 1968.

Just saw him in Orlando. Best show I have ever been to. There is a reason he is the richest musician ever.

Did you take the combined amount of every drug all the Beatles ever took before you had this thought?

I saw him perform at Fenway in Boston last week.

2.5 hours of playing. Over 25 songs performed. No opener.

He’s a goddamn world treasure and natural wonder.

I never got confirmation from my mother, but it is likely I was named after him.

When he came out for the encore, I was like "I can make it one more song!" Paul played an entire set of 5+ songs. At 80, totally remarkable. Amazing show.

Never taken drugs in my life.

Nice gotcha attempt, though.

Had also noted Sir Paul's birthday. The Beatles had 25 number 1 hits and other songs that would have been had it not been for the fact that Beatles' tunes were occupying the top spots.

Having heard the originals countless times, I find it refreshing to hear the younger generation's quality covers that sometimes give a slightly different take on the songs. Sir Paul could also play some drums, and this most recent cover by Emily and Sina with their usual supporting cast shows off the awesome percussion on this one:

Live And Let Die

Also, speaking of ukelele, Avonlea and Sina on this one, with nice bass work by Sina's dad, who toured with the Silver Beetles tribute band:

Something

Quality sound system or headphones recommended.

I'm assuming this is just a troll. McCartney's ability to churn out so many hit songs over such an extended time period is pretty damn remarkable.

King of rock?

Uh, no.

He is talented though.

But music is subjective. Don’t tell us to all suck his cock. Thanks
