Quote:Paul McCartney did not play "When I'm Sixty-Four" at a sold out Miller Park Tuesday night.

He's 71 now. He's already been there, done that.

Some may wonder why he still keeps working at this point in his life and career. If any man has any right to phone it in, to simply call it a day, certainly it's McCartney, one of the greatest musical contributors of all time.

But he keeps going, probably because, like the ancient electric guitar he strummed Tuesday night during "Paperback Writer," the very same one he said he used to record that song in 1966, he still rocks.

For his fifth Milwaukee concert in five decades (including a lone Beatles gig in '64, and a rainy Milwaukee County Stadium show two decades ago this year), McCartney treated the crowd of 43,000 to 44,000, the largest attendance for a non-baseball event in Miller Park history, to 38 songs and nearly three hours of material. Songs spanned from those Beatles gems like "Eight Days a Week" to high-flying Wings tunes like "Hi, Hi, Hi" to a lovely new original, "My Valentine," released last year.

Quote:I have always dreamed of Haley perform the medley at the end of Abbey Road:

I knew it was unlikely they could do it, but like I told him, I thought I'd ask anyway

Quote:The show became legendary one song into the first encore when the remaining members of Nirvana — Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Pat Smear — came onstage for “Cut Me Some Slack.” They wrote this tune together, and played it once before at this year’s Grammy Awards, in a lineup the press dubbed “Sir-Vana

Ughhhhh..... I thought about going to this show, but the only tickets available were the nose bleeds, I hate Seattle traffic even during non event commutes, and $300 for Suite seats was prohibitive seeing as I would rather spend it on seeing Haley (forgive me, John, Paul, George and Ringo )

Might have been my only chance to see Paul perform live

(I've seen Ringo perform twice at the Gorge, once with Joe Walsh)

Quote:Paul urged the Nirvana guys to stay, so they joined his band for most of the encores. Their version of “Helter Skelter,” with a sharp punk edge, would have made John Lennon, or Kurt Cobain, proud.
