For us who love Back seat of my car....

[eggman1979]

Hello everybody over here, I was at Paul's concert last night at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City. I'll upload my pics and videos later but right now, the news are these: Last night's show started half an hour late cause Paul was being interviewed by mexican media and they say Paul declared that HE'S GONNA SING BACK SEAT OF MY CAR TOMORROW ON THE FREE SHOW AT THE ZOCALO SQUARE IN MEXICO CITY!!! This show will be bROadcasted live on internet only for Mexico but If you guys love this song the way I do, I recommend you to look the video of it on youtube since next Friday.

This is a video of mine, it's the beginning of the show: Magical mistery tour/Junior's farm and at the end he says "Hola México!!!" Hope you like it, sorry for the screams though, I was too excited.

hope you enjoyed the show as much as it sounded like you did

i don't remember, are you gonna be able to make the free show ?

either way...thanks for the info, though...we'll all be on the lookout for that one, i'm sure

I was watching the internet transmision of the show at the Zócalo, just finished a few minutes ago and....nothing, no Back seat of my car. I'm so disappointed. I saw the comment on Twitter that Paul himself declared that he was going to sing it. I think I owe everyone an apology. Anyway...the show was spectacular, wonderful, they say there were 400 000 people. Paul struggled through some songs at the beginning but the rest was great, as usual. He opened with Hello goodbye and Junior's farm, he wore a red jacket. He performed the same set list that he always does. He sang Birthday, I've just seen a face, Hope of deliverance, Helter skelter....Ahh but I'm sad, I was hoping to hear Back seat of my car and now I'm sure he will never sing it.

What a big concert. What a shame he didn´t play Back Seat Of My Car, maybe here in Denmark

This is a bit of what happened last night:

This is the beginning:

He wore a red jacket with a pink shirt and black braces. Saw an amazing video on YouTube of 4 songs by iloveB4death or something like that. It was I've Just Seen a Face, Hope of Deliverance, And I Love Her and Blackbird. Most of the other videos, I saw, I didn't think were very good. None have been this leg of the tour. No pix posted anywhere either. Gee! Fans. Share.

no apologies needed, eggs...we all know PAUL LIED to trick all you great fans into showing up for the free concert...

just as we all know the only way he can possibly make it up to us is to do a free concert in May, to coincide with the release of the 'ram' remaster, where he and the band do the entire 'ram' album...and 20 other songs they've never, ever performed live before !!

Thanks H! You're so kind and funny ah ah.

I wanna upload my personal review of the shows in Mexico but, again, I don't know how to get pictures and videos to appear in here as you guys do. I try to copy/paste my pics but it doesn't work and for the videos I just can post the link of it. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

The whole concert



His voice isn´t good. He needs to rest before coming to Denmark.

y'know...the voice was not in the best shape, but, for the most part, it seemed a fine performance by all...almost like they knew they had to put a little extra oomph behind it all to overcome the raggedness, all while not overshadowing...bringing attention to it.

and there were plenty of moments were the voice did just fine..small moments, to be sure, but there nonetheless...

you gotta think they probably realized, at that last moment, that it might not have been the best conditions under which to go on with the show...but that they did so...they soldiered on, and gave a great performance, despite the voice, so as not to disappoint the fans...

and that crowd was far more into this than most crowds i've seen in a long time !

what a great crowd atmosphere it seemed to be...they loved every moment of it..sang along with all the songs, even the lesser known ones people like to complain about being in the set list...cool stuff...real music fans...

and there were wickedly cool moments that show these guys are really getting comfortable together

as an aside (and, maybe, completely in satirical jest...i'm not sure yet...) he did the song for nancy 'my valentine'...and the crowd loved it...he did the song for linda 'maybe i'm amazed'...

wouldn't it have been hilarious (NOT that he'd ever do it... ) if he said '...and...this is for.. you know who..."

...and broke out into 'you never give me your money' for about a line or two...and then stopped it with a 'oh, no...didn't mean that...heh-heh-heh, wrong song ! "

for a free show ? i would've been pretty darn happy...

true, i hope he gets the voice the rest it needs...let's hope that this is not some harbinger of doom...maybe just a case of either one show too many, or he gave a little too much the time before

either way, we'll all know soon, right ?

thanks for the posting, eddie
