My pleasure MAE, I still enjoy the heck out of that Tyler performance, so cool to see how genuinely proud and joyous he was to perform for his Idol. As you say, it was palpable....
.... Another thing, how cool was it at the end of that video tribute @ 7:05 they show Paul with his arms outstretched EXACTLY like that photo of Haley during the AI tour
Gave me chills and goosebumps
I'm gonna give Dave Grohl a pass, as the former drummer of Nirvana, and one of the last standing, IMO, true rockers around, I really feel he is in it for the love of music every time I see him, I dig the grit he brings. I have learned to be very fond of him, and it looked like Paul was digging his performance, especially the guitar work.
In fact, I know McCartney recognizes and likes Grohl.... Here Paul joins the remaining members of Nirvana
Grohl has performed for Paul before, "Band On the Run"
And here Grohl plays drums behind McCartney for "Back in the USSR"
Sure Grohl isn't about being pitch perfect and clarity, he comes from grunge and down and dirty rock and roll which rarely has room for crystal clear clarity (fun with alliteration

) .... There's a part of me that really appreciates the grit and testosterone. I, after all, was a metal head for a few years, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio etc ..., I still listen to the stuff now and then when I need a shot of adrenaline
No doubt, though... completely out of their league
