Great show! But I have to include this comment in response to the Boston Herald review. And I agree 100%.
“Sir Paul did a great show no question. The staging was huge and LALD fireworks impressive. I just don’t understand the sound guys who continually over modulate those speakers. The show was so much better during the more quiet passages. The loud was extraordinarily and unnecessarily loud and detracted from the quality of the presentation, IMO. McCartney’s book is so huge he could probably play for 8 days straight and still have enough material for another 8 months.”
