Former Beatle Paul McCartney gave a real lesson in vigor on stage Allianz Park on the night of this Thursday (7) a St. Paul. It doesn’t matter yours 81 years old well lived, Macca he brought into his repertoire the greatest hits of his solo career, as well as the classics of Wings and the Beatles, including a “duet” with the late John Lennon, where his death is completed 43 years old this Friday (8).
For an audience of 48 thousand peopleMcCartney was accompanied by his faithful band, formed by Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (Bass), Rusty Anderson (guitar) e Abe Laboriel Jr (drums). The brass trio Horns of the hot cityformed by Paolo Burtone (trombone); Kenji Fenton (saxophone) e Mike Davis (trumpet), was a show in itself, when at the beginning of the show they accompanied the musicians onto the stage directly from the stands.
The former Beatle took the stage Allianz Park to the 8.30pm and opened the tour’s show Got back I greet everyone present: “Goodnight brother” after starting his repertoire with Can’t Buy Love, Juniors Farm, Letting Go and She’s A Woman. One of the nice surprises among the audience was a significant presence of young people and children, accompanied by their parents, who have already conveyed to us their musical references and passion for the Beatles.
Then the arena “burned” with I have to let you into my life with a unison refrain that would be repeated later in other classics such as Let me roll (from Ali), Let them in also romantic My Valentine’s DayWhat Paul McCartney composed in honor of his wife Nancy Shewell.
At that moment, the sky enters Allianz Park They indicated that a huge storm could occur at any time during the show, with its endless lightning, but what we saw were other visual scenarios, with laser beam projections all over the arena.
McCartney he left his famous bass to go to the piano Yamaha and the first chords of Maybe I’m surprised, the number of emotional people in the audience was evident. This situation also occurred when the singer picked up his guitar to perform classics such as Black bird AND Here today– this, in honor of John Lennon – positioning himself on his famous mobile stage which, at a certain height, allowed the legendary British singer and songwriter to be seen, without any visual restrictions, across the entire arena.
Love Me Do, Dance Tonight, Lady Madonna AND Jet It was a killer sequence Paul McCartneywhich always works very well in a long-running show and has turned Allianz into a festive celebration of good rock, but Macca would like to once again “attack” with timeless classics such as Obla Di Obla Da, Band on the run, Returnthe explosive Live and let dieuntil the public used their cell phones for a visual and emotional celebration Let it be AND Hey Jude.
The keyboard player Paul “Wix” WickenIt was a show apart with its arrangements and we must remember that it is the only band member to be part of McCartney’s team since the former Beatle’s first world tour in 1989. Yep Abel Laboriel Jr. he gave his air of grace while performing Dance tonightt, with his dances and his peculiar charisma.
Yes, after more than 2 hours of showPaul McCartney doesn’t even want to drink water or take a break and there’s too much energy for electricity Helter Skelter/Sgt. The Peppers band Lonely Hearts Club until the moment his Brazilian fans are called by the singer who asks them if anyone is celebrating a birthday that evening, paving the way for birthday and the grand finale with Golden sleeps/Carry that burden/The end.
Fans were also delighted by the duet between Paul McCartney AND John Lennon In I got a feelingwhere the tricks of technology managed to bring the late former Beatle into this century.
Despite the impeccable show, the tour is ongoing McCartney seems to be showing signs of being the last from the legendary British musician and we are witnessing, perhaps, his last series of shows in Brazil.
I hope not.
