Paul McCartney Concert Review: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville Oct.16, 2015

At 72, McCartney appeared ageless at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Oct. 16. Really fun setlist here, all 2hrs+45min of it. The light show was psychedelic and the LED light mapping was mind blowing, especially during opener "Magical Mystery Tour" and "Helter Skelter" (which ripped!). McCartney's vocal range may have shrunk slightly, but tonally, he's on point and through 39 songs didn't flub one word that I noticed. He mixed it up a lot, from acoustic solo acoustic guitar to bass, piano, and electric guitar, and his band followed suit. Stories of Hendrix, Harrison, Clapton and Lennon were timeless and the obscure tunes ("I've Just Seen a Face," "All Together Now") were a surprise. What a treasure. Thanks to Paul for the "Blackbird," and thanks to my brother for the ticket!
