oh yus.. there's some very good stuff from his Wings and solo output awell. The idea that because the general consensus is that the frog song is rubbish therefore paul solo is crap is just ridiculous.

I like the frog song. LOVED it when i was a kid

You could be right. Perhaps Paul listened to the the rest of the Manics set in a VIP executive suite

Think people should see Paul McCartney live before they judge or knock him.
I saw Macca at Hyde Park, the day after this gig. I'd waited for years to see him and was not disappointed. After performing for 2 and a half hours, he could have easily gone on for longer. Considering he had just turned 68, that's incredible. I'd like to see how many of today's so called greats will be around at that age and see if they can pull off a 2 and a half hour set.

I agree Paul Mccartney was amazing, i went looking forward to the Manics and they were great but i also ended up really really enjoying Macca, especially his wings material which was epic...

So true Paul's energy for 68 was incredible. Also his connection with the crowd and enthusiasm for his music was amazing. Plus his professionalism and quality when singing, playing piano, guitar, ukulele etc. was so wonderful.
