I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by this. I was expecting more from him, I guess.

What did everyone else think about it?

I Really liked it. Shorter than I hoped but he sounded better than the dvd at MSG. Plus the crowd singing on hey jude was cool.

I thought it was pretty uneventful, but I'm guessing that's exactly what they wanted after last year's shenanigans. I think New England fans are the only people that are going to remember the winners of the 2004 SB, but everyone'll remember what happened during Half-Time. They don't want to be overshadowed again.

I liked it in comparison to all the other performances.

I went to the store....

Which were by whom (for halftime).

*tries to figure out of this is a compliment*

I thought it was fine. Performances at large-scale events like this almost always seem a little awkard and stilted, and this wasn't any different. However I thought he played well, and for a 63 year old he still has a fine, rich, melodic voice.

He's a classic...couldn't really go wrong with him...

Oh, I saw the beginging and just woke up...because it was so boring!



It wasn't that bad but wasn't great either. I would have taken Janet in a heatbeat.

VoicesCarry said:

Yes, that was a compliment. No fireworks, an average performance from Sir Paul.

I saw live and let die and Hey Jude, did he do any before those?

SquirrelMeat said:

Yeah, he did Baby You Can Drive My Car, which I dug.

boring, very boring....until he sung "live and let die". Boy, i'm telling you, i was ready to cut my wrists with those first few songs, but slowly came alive when he sung "live and let die" but overall the show was still boring. I went in the kitchen and got some ham biscuits...

not to disrespect Mr. McCartney, but i think a high school band marching around in formations would've been more interesting; plus, i kinda felt sorry for our younger generation -- i doubt they enjoyed it much either, "Paul who?" Where were the dancing girls?

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Wow. Glad I didn't watch.


TAKE THAT BACK, I've been seeing clips this morning of "Live And Let Die" and I'm mad I missed it!

I'm not sayin this cause he's one of my favorite artist...

but you can debate or bitch about what songs he sang, that really doesnt concern me, what was the biggest suprise for me is how great his vocals sounded, and how tight his band is.. they were dead on it.. if u would.

well good for you cuz for the rest of us it was...

I thought he did a great job. If you are a Beatles/McCartney fan, you couldn't ask for more. Everyone at the party I was at loved it.

Pagey said:

I guess you could say that this years SB performance up against last years.. is about musicianship.. regardless if u liked it or not.. this year was real music..


that crap last year only settled arguments about the current state of music that lies in our charts today... it fuckin sucks..

I hope when your wife's forty, you'll still want to seeher tits, sd.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

Yeah, I will cause she's my wife.. this is janet JACKSON we're talking about.


this is some (JACKSON if I might add) that needs to keep her clothes on.. sing a song like she's paid to do.. not to strip

I owe Paul McCartney an apology.
When I heard that he was going to be the half-time act my initial thought was...

But while watching it I was pleasantly surprised. I was glad there weren't 1000 useless dancers twitching around the stage and no crotch-grabbing guest rapper. I guess if you grew up on MTV (which I didn't) you expect every act to put on some heavily choreographed Busby Berkeley type production (generally to mask their lack of talent). Outside of the fireworks, what I saw was a guy that wrote some cool tunes having a good time performing them.

Oh, and not once did the thought, "Is this live or is it *MEMOREX.", ever cross my mind.

*(maybe Seagate, Western Digital or Maxtor would have been a more contemporary reference)

I was expecting a SNOOZEFEST from Sir Paul McCartney and he delivered.

I did enjoy the Black Eyed Peas (with EWF) during the pre-game concert. They have so much energy and their songs are so fun. You cant help but shake your ass!

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

I saw him in concert about in '93, and he opened the show with Drive My Car. I guess I was completely overwhelmed by seeing somebody whose music I grew up on - friggin' Drive My Car made me cry!

I glad he sounded so good. Hope I get to see him during his tour this year. But it'll prolly be too expensive

waw2002 said:

honestly, he sounds better now than he did 3 years back.. im bein real here. I saw him twice in '02.. and the man was straight on his game 2night..


Looking forward to his new album. (Nigel Godrich produced it also (btw))

did anyone else think during Hey Jude, that the crowd gave an unbeleivable visual from all those lighters?


that was excellent.
