Hux Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 So I was in the barber's chair the other day (same barber shop where our Charter equality rights defending Prime Minister gets his hair cut by the way ) and the barber mentions he's heard McCartney will play in Ottawa on his next tour! Wow, I think I would bite the bullet and pay many hundreds to catch Macca in my backyard....Bouche, you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hux: A friend of mine who would easily lay down his life for Neil Young or any member of the Dead described his experience at a McCartney show as the greatest concert he has ever seen by far. Those are no small words from this particular guy. If you get the chance, spend the hundreds. I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Nice! (I did catch him in '93 and it was awesome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I caught him during the "Flowers in the Dirt" tour. It was a great experience. However, I don't think I'd pay huge bucks for any concert at the Corel Center or any other stadium/arena. I'd pay 300 bucks for a Macartney show at a more intimate venue like the NAC, but that'll never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I'm in regardless of cost. StnMtn, I assume you speak of Ed, and if so they are words to heed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 "I'd pay 300 bucks for a Macartney show at a more intimate venue like the NAC, but that'll never happen." What about a hip-hop band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balogna pogna Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hey Hux, this McCartney you speak of, I think I've heard of him somewhere. Is he any good? I bet he couldn't even tie Bobby's shoelaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I'm glad you all want me to come up and play in Ottawa, but I didn't really have any plans to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I saw Ringo and it was a fun show. I'd go again if he was in Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyBanks Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I'd pay more money to hear him tell stories, then to hear him play the cheese rock he's been pushing as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and Phil would refuse to do Bobby tunes...at all...because Bobby would have...his own band...that people would pay...money...to see... You're right, Hux, let's get back to reality.

bradm Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 If I've heard correctly, Phil & Friends (and/or the Phil Lesh Quintet, which is the name I saw them under) won't do tunes that are closely associated with Bobby because Bobby's out doing them with RatDog. Booche may be able to give more info (I checked, and couldn't find any statement from Phil about this). Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I've only seen Paul McCartney once live (his "Back in the U.S. tour in 2002 at the ACC) and it was one of the greatest concerts I have seen ever. And since that show I have only had regrets not going to the Concert for New York City in 2001, and I also regret not making greater efforts to see the Concert for George in London in 2002 or the Bridge School Concerts near San Francisco in 2004. Whether it is in Toronto or Ottawa or New York City I will be making sure I pay whatever it takes to see Sir Paul McCartney again this fall. Minus certain reunion concerts, Paul McCartney is one of the only artists on the planet that I would miss Neil Young and/or Bob Dylan for if they were performing on the same night. And for those who know me, know I don't miss either of those two very often (I've seen Young 33 times and Dylan 22 times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 He's done a few, I would say there is no rigid rule in place. It's a lax rule but 95% of the time you're not gonna hear a Bobby song at a Phil and Friends show. But I thought Brad was taking a shot at Bobby for also having to rely on Jerry tunes to pad the set.
