When will he play in the states again?

He's 66 years old but looking at some of those pics of him on stage he seems to have alot of energy still. Sure would love to see him live.

I read that the Radical Islamists made death threats to him if he comes to Israel. He told 'em in the press to #$@$ off and said he's coming anyway. Good for him!!!!

Excellant.. People need to stop living in fear of these 'holy' people... Bullies are bullies no matter what they claim to be otherwise.. Way to go Sir Paul..

I saw the opening and close to the closing shows of the 89-90 tour, they were the best live shows I've ever seen, bar none. That includes decades of concerts and the Fillmore East (I've been going to concerts since 1970).

Somehow I've missed the tours since then, but will try for the last one.

except fo WINGS and that other band he had in the 60's , this is the best touring band he has had. i thought the flowers in the dirt and off the ground tours were just ok.

I completely agree with you. His current band is really great (Laboriel is a monster). But the Flowers in the Dirt tour was the first time I'd seen him. I had seen GH at Madison Square Garden in the seventies.....

And I'd been dreaming for two decades about seeing the Abbey Road medley played live (and suffered through Lennon's absence)...when he came out for the encore and I heard the keyboard play the intro to "Carry that Weight" it just melted me down into slag......I couldn't even stand up with everyone else....I was literally in tears....greatest live music moment for me ever.

And there you have it....my musical soul.
