Paul McCartney gave a message to the audience applauded at Wrigley Field on Sunday, July 31:
This is the way to the rock.
Visiting Chicago for the first time since 2005, Paul McCartney showed the fans that age is just a number, having played over 30 songs uncut. Supported by his excellent band drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., guitarist Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray and keyboardist Paul "Wix" Wickens charged hard through songs spanning his Beatles, Wings and solo careers, supporting the uptempo numbers signature ballads. Burning guitars ruled the night with Paul McCartney's voice to reach notes as high as those of the original recordings.
Dressed in a blue jacket (which is rapidly eliminated due to extreme humidity) and a wide smile, McCartney acknowledged the crowd excited, appropriately, "Hello Goodbye" immediately segueing Farm "Junior", one of a handful of songs played for the hardcore fans. Live, the song rocks harder than the original. Against a background of night scenes a day's work, McCartney went on through "All My Loving" with the energy of a 20 year old. As usual, a concert-friendly "Jet", shaking his fist in the air with the public. Another highlight was "The Night Before", a jewel buried Help

Enthusiasm s' continues with Band on the Run" Let Me Roll It ", which sounds even blusier live than on record. growling voice really conveys the passion McCartney song, and showed his love for blues and rock. In another nod to their influences, the band played a segment of Jimi Hendrix Foxy Lady, "with McCartney treated the audience to a searing guitar solo. The hits kept coming: "Paperback Writer", which fit perfectly into the overall tone of the most difficult night, followed by "The Long and Winding Road" rings with clear voice of McCartney.
A pleasant surprise for fans of the wings was "Ten-nine hundred eighty-five" which played very well live. The piano riff sounds instantly recognizable as McCartney sang "Oh, no one left alive / In 1985, to participate," apparently enjoying the band playing at the launch pad. He sought another Beatles classic, "I've Just Seen a Face", a relic of the 1976 Wings tour North America. The lovely "I Will", which received a more complete version than the White Album (a little heavier percussion, plus acoustic guitar), McCartney introduced straightfoward delivery. "Blackbird" won a thunderous ovation, which seemed McCartney surprising. As in previous trips, paying homage to his bandmates went to sing. "Here Today", written shortly after the death of John Lennon continues to inspire tears with his simple message that do not wait until it's too late to say "I love you" to someone. George Harrison also received his own with a ukulele McCartney did "something" in contrast with the tour of 2005, however, followed with a full band arrangement of the beautiful ballad.
Sweat through his shirt, but not slow at all, Paul McCartney has revealed his love for the roots of rock and roll with "Back in the USSR" and "I Got a Feeling," with Anderson and take parts of the song Laboriel John Lennon. As if this were not enough, the band roared into a jam with McCartney performs an extended guitar solo scorching. Another surprise, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," has inspired a lively sing McCartney away from the microphone to the audience take over.
Of course, the legend is expected that the songs "Let It Be," "Hey Jude" and the explosive, literally, "Live and Let Die" (with the usual explosions on stage, fireworks shot up from the table Wrigley board). However, McCartney was far from over, having played two encores, with subjects mostly uptempo, "Lady Madonna", where he hit the piano like Fats Domino, "Daytripper", which featured Paul McCartney on bass and guitar Anderson, in perfect sync, and "Get Back", where Ray has a guitar solo on fire.
Although the duration of the concert, McCartney has remained in good voice for the second encore, which included an exquisite version of "Yesterday." Finish the evening with a bang with the double whammy of "Helter Skelter" and the final mix of Abbey Road ("golden dream / Carry That Weight / The End"), who eventually answered the question: Can we rock from 30 years? The answer is definitely. "Helter Skelter" came to the territory of metal guitars drums Laboriel, tight and voices shouting McCartney.
McCartney saw at least five times, and this show rocked more than any other concert I attended. Celebrated its past, but the guitar and singing aggressively injected new energy into familiar songs. Clearly, McCartney has "removed", but is progressing.
This is the way to the rock.
