And that girls is why the fella is a LEGEND, 160 mins of greatness. LuS1fer said:
Amazing! McCartney sounds like an 80 year old. Thank the lord the crowd knows the songs. Well, some do.
Still, should stimulate sales of the back catalogue which are brilliant. I do love Venus and Mars.

Listen to What The Man said merging into Lonely Old People - Brilliant

McCartney is a bit better than expected, for a cadaver. Better and less embarrassing than Jagger anyway. Ditch the chit chat though please it's not working.
I'm with you bro.He's bang average.
Do you mean it's OK to accept poor quality singing because the vocalist is old? Why? Extra thick rose tinted specs? I've seen a lot of older performers over the years and some still sing very well, some not so. I'm not in denial some performances are sub-par due to age though.

Hopefully the I-Player content will be up for a few weeks so I can catch a bit more of Glasto, need to see if Sleaford Mods are on there.
I’m 99% certain I saw them on there when I was having a shufty round yesterday. popeyewhite said:

He's 80 and I think it's generally widely accepted his voice isn't what it once was. Last night's performance, however, was truly one for the ages.Do you mean it's OK to accept poor quality singing because the vocalist is old? Why? Extra thick rose tinted specs?

Upon learning of the existence of a Pistonheads McCartney thread, you responded with a 'laughing out loud' emoji. Perhaps, for whatever reason, you have some kind of personal issue with McCartney that is affecting your judgment.
The review in The Independent said 'It’s a historic privilege just to be alive at the same time as him'. Not everyone is going to feel that strongly, but not at least appreciating him is missing out, really.
I have criticised McCartney in the past - voice shot etc - particularly following the 2012 Olympic embarrassment.
However, last night was a great set by a legend. You cannot take away his place in musical history, his back catalogue and for me the songwriting talent of he and Lennon.
At 80, his willingness to put in one hell of a shift is remarkable.
The voice is not there, but so much else is; what a man, what a performance.

Care to expand on what 'issue' I might have? No? Thought not. It's not really an 'issue' not particularly liking a musician.paulguitar said:

Utter nonsense. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's old and the set wasn't very good IMO.Why do people on PH take criticism of something they hold dear so personally? Why go on a forum if you can't take alternate opinions? Beats me.
I can't agree more popeyewhite.
I'm not denying McCartney and Lennon were a force of nature back in the 60s. The fact they did so much in just seven years is incredible. However, he was not a headliner and those that are gushing uncontrollably about last night need to understand that not everyone thought it was as good as all that.

You are allowed to be completely wrong! It was a brilliant set , I don’t even like live and let die but it was spectacular.
