Paul McCartney at The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. 26th June 2010
It had been 35 years since the last time Macca performed in Wales. Certainly everyone from the multigenerational audience of nearly sixty thousand people who gathered at the Millennium Stadium last Saturday’s evening can tell you it was worth to wait. The show was simply amazing…
Followed by two supporting acts – The Joy Formidable and Manic Street Preachers, Paul and his band entered the stage. Luckily, the stadium’s roof closed just before the main act of the night, giving all gathered music fans relief from the sun and getting them into the right mood for the show.
He opened with The Wings’ ‘Venus and Mars’ and ‘Rock Show’… And it was only getting better from that moment on. During a nearly 3 hours long concert McCartney performed 37 songs from the repertoire of: The Beatles, The Wings, The Firemen (his experimental electronic music project) and his and his fellow fabs – Lennon’s and Harrison’s solo catalog. Forty years-old songs sounded as fresh as never and the newer pieces as great as the old ones. He got the crowd moving with such hits as: ‘All My Loving’, ‘Ob-la-di, ob-la-da’, ‘Back in The U.S.S.R’ or ‘Jet’ and touched their hearts with ‘Here Today’ (tribute to John Lennon), ‘Blackbird’, ‘My Love’ (tribute to his wife Linda), ‘Something’ (tribute to George Harrison) or ‘Let it Be’. What happened in Cardiff during the final songs: ‘Live and Let Die’ (with flames and fireworks coming out of the stage) and ‘Hey Jude’ together with two encores is impossible to describe – no one at the stadium was siting during the last 30 minutes of the show.
Paul was smiling, telling anecdotes, running around as a 20-years-old (and, believe it or not, he’s already 68!), speaking Welsh and waving Welsh flag. Everyone from the audience could feel the positive energy emanating from the stage. People didn’t want him to finish and he didn’t seem keen on doing that either. All good things come to an end…and so did the concert. ‘We’re Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, we hope to see you once again…’ Paul sang just before finishing with Abbey Road’s ‘The End’…Well…Sir Paul, we hope to see you once again too!
