This is not news, but I’m listening to the vinyl and it really is just so amazing, it’s so intricate and his lyrics are just beyond incredible.

Styx, tomorrow night.  Outdoor gig.  REO and Loverboy opening up.

Lol, Came on here to post that very thing.  two weeks from today. Little interest in REO and loverboy tho I liked both of them back in the day and I’m sure I’ll end up singing at the top of my lungs anyway. But of course just going to see Styx. Front row Tommy side, as usual!

And now Bubba. I didn't think he'd go.

I bought it for my dad's bday so have to give it to him before I hear the rest of it (cd). He knew about APP before I did.  (Back in 80s)

This seems to be a trend.

Happy bday!!

Finally got my Mark Tremonti Sinatra album. Sooooo good. He's amazing. And the record and packaging is really nice too.

Volunteering at this today and tomorrow.

I figured if Geddy and Alex play it would be a Foo Fighters song.

I tend to agree.

So Paul was great, he did a lot of Wings songs. Apparently it's a similar setlist, but having not seen him in 30 or so years, it was new to me. He seems to be in good shape, he moves well for a now 80 yr old. He struggled on a few songs, which is natural too. He's still a great showman though! Singing Hey Jude with 60K people was awesome. It started raining towards the end. But only for Live and Let Die and Hey Jude. 

Then Bruce came out and they did Glory Days and Bruce sang I wanna be your man. He sounds great and is clearly ready to tour.

Then Bon Jovi came out in the encore to wish him happy bday. And both came out to sing the last song, the medley and The End.

Paul said "what else is there to say but see you next time!"

I hope so!

So, yeah. Presently in parking lot waiting to leave from the Paul McCartney concert tonight. not only did Bruce Springsteen show up but Jon Bon Jovi did as well and Paul himself was pretty darned good.

I think perhaps if they DO play, it would just be in some kind of giant jam at the end.

ohhh, you know, I just immediately assumed they would play, but yeah, they might just get up there and talk about him.

I was hoping opposite, that Ringo would come to Paul's show on Thursday.

I was supposed to see Ringo's All Starr Band this Friday, but it's been postponed to September due to COVID.  So much for my hope that Paul would show up at Ringo's concert since they were in the same general area (last week my hope that Ringo would show up at Paul's was dashed).  

You know, I usually do not read setlist but I did glance at it. But I didn't go down song by song by song.

And I don't really remember what I saw on now so I'm not going to look at it again!

But once I get to my seat, I do not leave!

I saw him last night at Fenway Park.  He was awesome as always.  I had the same rationale; how much longer can he keep doing it?

I have a friend who drove up there for the show, too. He had invited me but work interfered (darn work, lol). Anyway, waiting to hear from him how it was.

I always wonder the same thing.

Well, I added a show in between, lol. Going to see Sir Paul next week at Met life Stadium, feeling like I need to see him one more time! He's going to be 80!

so this FINALLY arrived today, it was shipped with another one that was just released (Joe Jackson and Todd live, sorry I had missed that one) - anyway, it's red. So far I love it! Their music totally lends itself to this kind of thing. And for me, it's the perfect ambient music while I'm working, though I am still somewhat filling in the lyrics in my head, lol.

I saw Paul McCartney last night in Syracuse. It was an incredible show. The performance was top notch. Paul and his band are great. He also had a three-piece horn section, which was a nice touch. I thought it was really cool that he had live horns. The setlist was pretty good overall. He played quite a few songs that I'd never seen him play before. My only complaints would be that he didn't do Yesterday, and while he played Mrs. Vandebilt during the VIP soundcheck (which I didn't attend), he did not play it at the show.

Here's the setlist:

Where were your seats? Was it a straight-forward setup, I mean, just the main stage and nothing else? Getting tickets for here next week and trying to figure out what's best.
