I don't like swinging at these pitches in the dirt because nobody wins, but I've got to ask, if you think Paul is a washed up milquetoast who is past his prime and nothing he does now or in the future will meet with your approval, why are you posting this garbage? Ignore it. Write him a letter and set him straight, you've got all the answers apparantly. I don't understand the vitriol. He is brilliant, his voice was stronger today than I have heard it in a long time, he had to jam as much material into a tight time slot, the band was tight. It was a good performance. Try to imagine your father up there doing what he is at 62, in the mean time, let it go. Since Paul is a known quantity at this stage of his career, you have two choices: Ignore it altogether, or if you decide to listen to or watch it--shut up. Its not Paul's problem, its yours.
Thank You JF. Now this is the preaching that i'll be following.
I'm amazed at some of the comments here. Maybe his voice isn't as good as it was, maybe the muscicianship isn't as kick a** as it was forty (i repeat FORTY years ago), but my god, that was a great set. What do some of you expect of this guy. How can you moan that he's pretending to be a "vigourous young rockstar". he's not pretending anything, he's being Paul McCartney, doing what Paul McCartney does. I have the utmost respect for him after seeing that. I'd planned a longer diatribe than this, but words escape me. f*** the reviews. it was exactly what was needed for the occassion, and he delivered beyond all my expectations. aaaaargh.........
Paul is in a class all by himself as a rock legend & it was a great Super Bowl halftime performance safe as milk but his time has come & gone as an influential artist.
I thought it was kind of tame, but it was still nice to see Paul performing. I was extremely disappointed at the lack of wardrobe malfunctions, however.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
It was decent.........it wasn't too exciting, but "Hey Jude" was kind of cool......I wouldn't see Paul in concert though unless I got a free ticket.....

anyone else think the "na na na naaas" were obviously tapes? How did the audience know what the final one wwas gonna be? he cut the song short and all the shouts ended on the perfect hold of the note. seems suspicious
I don't think the 'Nahs' were taped, he was out there directing the audience and you heard the crowd noise. He went back to the piano and finished the song. The audience wasn't miked, the band was, that's why you didn't hear anymore of the audience. I can't get over how everyone is so quick to judge and is nay-saying stuff, even people that post as often as you. Maybe you run out of ideas and need to downshift into minutae that doesn't exist.

I don't think it's a criticism as much as an observation. And asking other peoples opinions is part of the reason we come to a forum like this. Obviously though the fans DID know that he was going to do that song as they were given big signs that said Na Na Na Na. I'm sure they were given a heads up.
