A long time ago, in a Hammersmith Odeon far, far away, I saw Wings on the first
night of their RED ROSE SPEEDWAY tour. A bass player mate had promised me that
I was going to see one of the great rock bass players, and he wasn't wrong.
Even better was seeing Denny Laine performing GO NOW with one of the best live
bands it has been my pleasure to see - and I have seen more than I can
remember. And I had never been a big fan of The Beatles in the early days.
When I get off this treadle computer I will go visit the link. Thanks, David!

Subject: [MOPO] OT: Surprise rooftop concert attracts thousands in NYC.
.hmmessage P{margin:0px;padding:0px}body.hmmessage{font-size:
10pt;font-family:Verdana}** Just finished watching an astounding web-only video
of a true legend -- former Beatle Paul McCartney performing a seven-song,
35-minute set late yesterday afternoon/evening on top of the marquee of the Ed
Sullivan Theater in NYC, attracting thousands on the streets near Broadway and
52nd.
** Two songs NOT in the streaming video below (Get Back and Sing the Changes)
-- were integrated into the Letterman show itself, where he was last night's
solo guest. What's striking about the video: 1) the crowd reaction, filled with
a mix of young and old, many watching from the windows of nearby high-rises
and, 2) at age 67, Sir Paul still has a vigorous ability to churn out "lesser
tunes" from his legendary songbook in a way that's entertainingly RAW, away
from the antiseptic effects of a recording studio. Full circle with the Beatles
in 1964 at the Ed Sullivan Theater -- and back to the same theater in 2009; I
think it's pretty amazing.
