In another Triple M gig review, the spotlight turns to Sir Paul McCartney, the man who needs no introduction in the world of iconic music. This musical genius recently graced Sydney with performances that were nothing short of extraordinary. Whether a Beatles aficionado, a Wings enthusiast, or a general lover of legendary tunes, this was a weekend in Sydney to remember.
At 81, most individuals might be slowing down, but not McCartney. He defied both time and age to deliver nearly three-hour concerts on back-to-back nights. This is not just an accomplishment for an octogenarian; it’s a remarkable feat for any musician. What’s more, he bears the look of a man twenty years his junior—a testament to his undying vitality.
To commence the concerts, McCartney chose two quintessential tracks: “Can’t Buy Me Love” for the Friday show and “A Hard Day’s Night” for Saturday. These opening numbers set the mood for an evening replete with classics from both the Beatles and Wings, as well as some new tunes from his recent albums. McCartney’s carefree attitude was summed up perfectly when he announced, “We’re playin’ them anyway because we don’t care.” A rock ‘n’ roll statement for the ages.
The setlist was a spectacular journey through time. McCartney delivered classics like “Love Me Do,” “Maybe I’m Amazed,” and “Jet,” among a whopping total of 39 tracks. Particularly notable was a captivating rendition of “Blackbird,” where the stage ascended, lifting McCartney high above the captivated crowd. With the inclusion of a pyrotechnic display during “Live & Let Die” and the timeless “Hey Jude,” the evening offered a truly eclectic musical experience.
Encore:
Beyond the auditory delight, the concert was a feast for the eyes. From lasers and lighting to a band that matched McCartney’s own level of artistry, the event was a visual spectacle. If this turns out to be the legendary musician’s final visit to Australia, he will certainly be exiting on the highest of notes.
The encore was a treasure in its own right, featuring an additional seven songs, including “Birthday” and “Helter Skelter.” The performance fittingly concluded with “The End,” offering a perfect finale to an unforgettable experience.
For those in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the anticipation is palpable. Anyone without tickets should consider securing them promptly. This is a musical event no one will want to miss.
