Paul is Live

[EddieV]

Released 1993

Paul used the same formula as he did on his previous tour. Releasing Off The Ground and then go touring. Maybe this tour came too soon after his big tour 1989-90. Also the songs chosen for the tour wasn´t so great. He chose to play a few songs from OTG, but they didn´t go very well. Also he chose to have a acoustic set in the nmiddle of the show. He also dug some Beatles songs he didn´t play on the last tour.

His opening song was Drive My Car, all though it was a Beatles song, it wasn´t as strong a opener as Figure Of Eight...

Other Beatles songs performed were Paperback Writer, Magical Mytery Tour and the ones which worked Hey Jude, Let It Be.
The only change in the line-up was Chris Witton had left and Blair Cunningham played drums instead.

i was fortunate to have seen this show live. as well as the 89 flowers tour. and i think this set was even better. you may have a point about the songs not being as strong. maybe...just maybe you are right. but the construction of the set was...more wings over america like. he did an obvious acoustic set. then he did an obvious piano set. it was more of what i was expecting (or hoping for) when i saw him in 89.

he did have a few suprises on this tour, though. i recall being shocked he did another day. and there was this...acoustic interlude...played by robbie, alone...on stage, while the others were getting ready...or changing instuments...or whatever thet were doing...off stage. it gave me the impression it was a band effort (time may have proven otherwise...but it was the feeling i got at the show) that the flowers tour did not have.

it doesn't hurt at all that my wife and i managed to worm our way down front and center, about ten rows back, to see that last third of the show. funny how memories (and the times they represented) manage to allow nostalgia to affect the way we recall things that have happened.

This was the first Paul show I ever attended...I had ok seats and was completely awed by the fact Macca was in the same building as I. It was also the first time my eyes broke out in a sweat at a show, and not the last. Afterwards, as I took stock of the evening, I wished that Paul had booked a smaller venue...the Georgia Dome seats 82,000 for football, more for concerts. It;s a fine place to watch football, but not so much for a Macca show....Pink Floyd, yes....not Macca. I got my wish the next time around.
