Addictedtoclassic Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I thought it was one of the greatest half time shows I've ever seen. Paul McCartney did great and the added theatrics during "Live and Let Die" was wonderful. But the best was when the entire stadium sang "Hey Jude" when Paul got off the piano and away from the microphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I agree totally. Fantastic show. The best one yet. Next year it's gotta be some Motown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Paul is still in good voice. I heard an interview with him on the radio. He was told that a recent show of his put him at 8,000,000 fans he has performed for over his career. He said he doesn't track that sort of thing, but it is amazing. I agree. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 That number seems extremely low. I would think it would be closer to 80 million. I mean, he's been playing music for over 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. . . I'm wondering if they're counting his time with the Beatles or just his career after them. The Beatles played their butts off in the early 60s all around Europe - especially Germany and the Cavern, places like that. But then again they completely stopped touring in '66. Paul didn't start touring again until about 1972 and I don't think he toured at all in the 80s. . . :: Like your new avatar, Daniel - Surfing With the Alien, huh?

I think everybody thought this one out well. MACCA TO PLAY HIS 3000TH CONCERT SIR Paul McCartney will play his 3000th gig next month on his world tour. The former Beatle will play the historic concert in St Petersburg on June 20. Macca, 62, said: 'I never keep count so I was amazed when people told me I'll do my 3000th gig. That's an awful lot of late nights. 'I guess I must just like the live life. But, as I've said before, it's what I do.' Although exact records of early Quarrymen and Beatles gigs were not kept, a new count indicates Sir Paul has done 3000 performances. Counting pub gigs, Shea Stadium, radio and TV appearances and the four, five and eight sets a night The Beatles played over three years in Hamburg clubs, Beatles performances total 2523. Adding Wings' 140 appearances, Paul's 285 solo gigs and 40 post-Beatles performances from Live Aid to Adopt A Minefield and the Super Bowl Macca's pre-tour tally is 2988. The summer tour will also set another landmark someone will be the 8,000,000th person to see Macca perform since he turned solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictedtoclassic Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Aah, so the 8 million does not include The Beatles. Now that makes sense. Silver Surfer...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I can only venture to guess the total when playing as a Beatle. There were those 1000's of Hamburg, Cavern club shows. But how many people fit in those venues?? 200?? the stadiums etc. Maybe another 2-3 million tops??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzr Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Total U.S. attendance for all Beatles live dates: 1,158,623. Their largest venue was 55,000+, most quite a bit smaller. They played four venues on their first trip of 1964,(counting Ed Sullivan), and came back between late August and mid-September. Their 65 and 66 tours were limited to the second half of August. If the Beatles played a club gig -every day- from the -moment- George joined until their first US trip, and we allow each venue a 200 capacity,(generous for the situation), and assume each show to be sold out, we get 402,000 attendance for a total of 1,560,623..and of course it's probably more like 1,350,000. Whatever sparse international dates I'm leaving out are very unlikely to get the total attendance anywhere near 2 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea about other international performances (Did they play Japan, Australia, etc??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy11173 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I enjoyed Sir Paul's performance at the Superbowl. In my opinion it was too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
