McCartney Rocks!!

[johnnie]

Jesus! I have never seen a halftime show like this. If you don't like it you are dead.

[Archae]

1. "Hey Jude"

Oh yes...

[Rex]

2. Live and let die!!!

Nice AA round FX!!! Ah, mellow song now. Ya Paul still rocks like a Rock God!

[Stephanie]

3. Dead? Not quite!

I think it is totally boring.

[johnnie]

5. ok

[central scrutinizer]

70. seamless pandering commercialism

starts out with "Drive My Car" and oh, by the way, Fox just happened to be hyping NASCAR all night, and then plays the theme song from a James Bond movie? Is there a new James Bond movie out soon, possibly from 20th Century Fox?

[Sean Reynolds]

4. I guess I'm dead.

Bummer, and I was so young too.

[cags]

9. Me too, as a doornail

[minkyboodle]

57. me too

when do we make our run for the livings brains...... delicious braaaains..

[Kahuna]

63. I missed the show. It anybody wants to sell me..

a dvd or tape, name your price. pm mail me. :D

[Elidor]

6. He should play Mull of Kintyre

That could get things going.

[wndycty]

7. Yes but, I think his being the only performer is BS

Has performed anything written after 1975? This is no slam on McCartney, but I'm really disappointed in the NFL and FOX. Nothing for the youth, if you are a rock fan this is great. I think it was a great performance, but it does not take into account the diversity of the audience.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

13. Nothing for the youth?

I'm seventeen, and I thought it was GREAT.

:D

[wndycty]

14. great, but compare yourself to the majority of people your age

:kick:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

18. The majority of kids my age at least like the Beatles

So yeah, I think they'd have probably enjoyed it. It's not a Janet Jackson breast, but it's good rock and I think even people my age appreciate that.

[wndycty]

22. Uh OK. . .

. . .I'll be sure to poll the kids at Martin Luther King or Simeon High School tomorrow, I am sure your sample is representative of all the kids, all the races. . .I am sure you are right.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

27. So you're pretty much making a big deal out of nothing?

It's the Superbowl. The entire thing is boring.

In fact, wait, let's not even have them play football... not everyone likes the sport. I don't like football, the Superbowl isn't taking into account my tastes. BOOHOOOO.

[Catch22Dem]

42. HAHAHAHAHA

I love it. That was good.

[Kahuna]

60. Maybe they never heard of him. But they will like what they heard anyway?

:shrug: Don't sell kids short. Good music is good music.

[LSdemocrat]

21. I'm 24 and I loved it.

Best halftime show I've seen

[pintobean]

55. My 15 year old daughter stole all my Beatles CD's.

[johnnie]

19. Yeah

Too bad they didn't put Ashley Simpson or maybe Hanson for the late 90's gang. Menudo would have been cool too, but I think the pizza place wouldn't have let them do the gig.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

28. Don't lump Ashlee Simpson and Hanson together

At least Hanson sang and performed live. Ashlee can't even do that.

[johnnie]

33. Yes

I will agree...The Hanson brothers have a lot of talant. It was a knee-jerk reaction.

[samplegirl]

58. Well could say the same for a quite a few years

of nothing but rappers and of course Janet Jackson.

[Kahuna]

59. A lot of black folks my age can relate to McCartney! I never knew..

his music was just for old white folks. :shrug:

[CatWoman]

8. he most definitely does!!!!

[qanda]

10. I'm not dead

But it sure put me to sleep.

[meganmonkey]

11. I'm with ya, johnnie!

That man is a legend, and he just kicked some serious ass.

[zulchzulu]

12. He didn't play "Helter Skelter"...but it was a good set

I'm sure there will right wing complaints about "Hey Jude".

Thanks Sir Paul.

[ALago1]

16. Why would the right hate on "Hey Jude"?

I'm curious...

[zulchzulu]

32. The Right would hate "Hey Jude" because...

...the Beatles made the US "bad"...actually they would confuse the song with the "pot-positive" tune "Let It Be".

All in all, seeing Sir Paul McCartney on national TV ouwld have made many theocratic burbs freepers very very upset.

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

[greenbriar]

56. Hey Jude was written for Julian during John and Cindy's divorce

about accepting Yoko Ono as his stepmom...


Giving him advice to let her into his heart and things wouldn't be so bad!!!

[Guaranteed]

15. U2 in 2002 was good, too.

When the Patriots beat the Rams.

[LSdemocrat]

17. That indeed rocked!

Would have loved to be there live to see that rendition of "Live and Let Die"

[Catch22Dem]

23. I saw him do it live in Boulder 1993

He used pyro there too. It was SOOOO awesome!

[goodboy]

20. also playing a YAMAHA piano! (I'm a Yamaha piano dealer, and have

been playing them for over 20 years!) I can't wait to rub it in the Steinway snobs faces...when the best tone and touch is required, when billions of people are watching...it's a YAMAHA every time.

Also, I think ALecia Keys played one during the pre-game show.

BEST.HALFTIME SHOW.EVER.

[GCP]

26. Yes indeed - BEST HALF TIME SHOW EVAAAH

He's still got it and I'm sorry for the people on here who just don't get it :eyes:

[goodboy]

34. Who will be the next Paul McCartney?

I don't know, I'm just curious if you have any opinions on the matter.

[GCP]

36. Well, you'd have to have somebody with real musical talent

Who can write and sing his own songs and keep it up for over 30 years and look good and be a consummate showman - all in all, I think he and John were once-offs.

[goodboy]

37. You're probably right...I haven't seen anyone come close yet.

[Kahuna]

62. There will never be another group as good as the Beatles.

They did it all. It is finished.

[Mad_Dem_X]

66. DAMN STRAIGHT!!!

No one else will ever come close. :bounce:

[Bake]

52. I bought my wife a Yamaha grand.

She prefers the Yamaha's more brilliant tone to the darker (to my ear, mushier) tone of the Steinway or Baldwin.

Bake

[demnan]

24. It's the best half time I've seen in my lifetime

I really loved McCartney's performance. It's like having a Gershwin or a Beehoven at a Superbowl Concert.

The Beatles songs will live on for ever, this half time concert proved it. This old man could still move a crowd with his, and his friend, John Lennon's genius.

[pookieblue]

48. Yes- it was one of the best if not the best half time show I've ever seen.

[Catch22Dem]

25. Hell yeah he rocks

Puts newer "entertainers" to shame.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

30. Re: Puts newer "entertainers" to shame. Agreed.

I saw Paul in 1990 and again in 2002, and as far as having multiple acts during the halftime show, I have to say, there were people of ALL ages at the concert. I'm talking people in their 70s to young kids in their early teens. The Beatles, in my opinion, have appeal that crosses generations.

[Catch22Dem]

35. Yeah buddy!

I saw him in 1990 in NYC and 1993 in Boulder. Both shows were so good!

[GCP]

38. Was that the Meadowlands concert?

I was there and it was the best concert I've ever been to, and I've had my share.

[Catch22Dem]

41. Sure was

Loved it. If you recall, it was the first time since the Beatles that he played the Hoffner bass. Elvis Costello talked him into dragging it out of mothballs. :)

[rockymountaindem]

29. I'm glad to see some people showin' love for the Beatles.

They deserve it.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

31. I will love the Beatles 'til I die.

[rockymountaindem]

44. Me too.

Although now I'm rockin' out (well, as much as I *can* rock out here in my dorm) to a Pete Townsend/The Who special on the rock station. It's pretty sweet.

[Kahuna]

61. Amen. Hello! Greatest band ever!!!

:D

[Norbert]

39. That was a halftime show

McCartney still rocks, just like him and hid bandmates did 41 years ago on a Sunday night. :toast:

[maveric]

40. My 3rd favorite Beatle. He's still one of the greats though.

I miss George and John.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

43. RIP GEORGE

:(

*sniffle*

[johnnie]

46. I miss them too

Get "Concert for George", one of the best concerts to be burned on to a DVD.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

51. Can't watch Concert for George w/out shedding tears.

Miss John and George, too. :(

[makhno]

45. The EMT team looked anxious on the sidelines

Glad Paul didn't "rock" too hard.

[Missy Vixen]

47. Okay, I'm showing the love to Paul, too

but I would have loved to have heard "Maybe I'm Amazed". It's my favorite of his compositions. I also would have loved to have heard "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout," but I guess we could go on all night with everyone else's favorite song, too.

Good show. I was astonished at the pyrotechnics!

Julie

[johnnie]

49. I was surprised by "Drive my car"

I love that name ...Julie.

[kittycat1164]

50. We got a new HD TV and home theater surround sound

for Christmas -- a present to the family kind of thing -- that halftime show was so cool. We rewound it (DVR) and watched it twice turned up really loud. I wouldn't be surprised if the neighbors heard it. My kids weren't as impressed as we were, but who cares. That was fun!!!

[Penndems]

53. I saw him in 1976 at the old Capital Centre, and in 1990 at RFK Stadium

The man NEVER puts on a bad show.

A memorable, first-class Super Bowl in all ways.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

68. wow- you are about the third duer who was at the show...

i was at the 7-4-90 show....


Saw him four times....


Miami and Washington in 1990... Charlotte and Orlando in 1993...

[Penndems]

72. Was that a great show, or what?

The weather was sooooo hot. Hot and muggy. We were sitting in the back, directly across from center stage.

What a memorable evening that was.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

73. That's Where I Was Sitting...

McCartney was set up in one end zone and I was sitting in the other....


It was hot... I came in from Orlando... It was near one hundred the entire trip... I remember taking a detour in Virginia to see the spot where Stonewall Jackson got his arm shot off...

[Borgnine]

54. I loved it.

Yeah, he's older and his voice is more strained, but goddamn was that awesome.

Oh, and I may be only 21, but I'll take Paul McCartney over most anything my age group prefers. If they don't like it, they'll learn to like it.

[dbt]

64. Even though that was NOT Paul McCartney (who died in 1966),

this William Campbell fellow has certainly learned all the moves and has a voice very close to Paul's. And the band was FLAWLESS!

Here's another clue for you all: The Walrus was Paul.

;-)
dbt

[ashling]

65. Best Super Bowl halftime ever

a hell of a lot better than that crap last year (wardrobe malfunction notwithstanding)

[XNASA]

67. I dunno. I was kinda hopin' that there'd be some lip-syncin'......

....tatooed guy wearing pants that are about 10 sizes too big, jumping around grabbing his dick and yelling about how cool he was....

But that's just me. ;-)

[Beetwasher]

69. Have You Seen The LYRICS For "Get Back"??!!!!

Sex, drugs, transvestites!!! Hee hee...I think he picked that one for the fundies who were pissed off over Janet's boob last year....

[kwassa]

71. I wasn't convinced it was entirely live .....

I thought the drummer was out of sync with what was being played at times, and I had my suspicions about McCartney's vocals at points.

The sound quality was awfully good for a live show.
