Paul McCartney Performing "___"

[clumsy342]

Like Roger Waters this year, "performing Dark Side of the Moon",

IF

Paul McCartney were on the lineup next year,
like some have speculated/rumored,
Do you think he would perform a Beatles album?

Or would it be like his recent setlists?

Do you think Coachella organizers would try to team up with Paul McCartney for a large-scale production like Waters' Dark Side?

I don't see it happening. But if it does, I don't think they could or would possibly try to top Waters in 08.

If you are one of the people hoping for or predicting McCartney for 09, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Or if anyone has anything to add...

[clumsy342]

Do you think Coachella organizers would try to team up with Paul McCartney for a large-scale production like Waters' Dark Side?

And, yes. I know that was Roger Waters original production that came to Coachella.

[Boourns]

I think his name would be enough to get everyone to come out for this. But yeah, setlist similar to recent ones. Lots of Beatles stuff.

[clumsy342]

Lots of Beatles stuff, yeah.
But what if he performed an album? Could/Would he? Is it a slap in the face to The Beatles? Would people still go for it?

"Paul McCartney performing Abbey Road" ... eh?? nah?? Who knows.

I think his recent setlists are pretty impressive, but.. I think it'd be pretty weak as far as a headline act goes. Or would it be awesome? Can't say for sure.

[clumsy342]

your avatar is hideous.

[Boourns]

Definitely awesome and not weak. He was a Beatle, after all. Also has never performed at the fest before, is a huge draw, and would unite everyone but the most pretentious of snobs.

I doubt he would ever do one of those "performing...." shows since so many people would be pissed.

[Boourns]

your avatar is hideous.

Yeah, I love the idea of making everyone vomit when they see it and then think of the Fred Durst sex tape. But now it's making me sick, too.

[woogie846]

I don't think Paul McCartney could do one album in its entirety, there are too many to choose from. If he did play, it should be a greatest hits Beatles set with Live or Let Die thrown in there.

[Boourns]

[zenidogx]

it would look weird to have the poster read
Paul McCartney performing the songs he primarily wrote on Sgt Pepper's
or
Paul McCartney performing the Abbey Road medley
i would like
Paul McCartney performing Band on the Run


IF he performs he won't get the same amount of time as Waters, but he would go long enough after midnight to do a two hour set.

[canexplain]

having seen him a number of times with and without the "boys", i would go again in a heartbeat ....x****

*jealous*

People keep making threads about this. Srsly, GV get on it! Paul McCartney 09!

[Boourns]

I really do think this will happen.

[rage patton]

Bowie>McCartney

I can't see both beeing there...

[jigsaw]

I would say the Magical Mystery Tour

1. Magical Mystery Tour
2. Fool on the Hill
3. Flying
4. Blue Jay Way
5. Your Mother Should Know
6. I Am the Walrus
7. Hello Goodbye
8. Strawberry Fields Forever
9. Penny Lane
10. Baby You're a Rich Man
11. All You Need Is Love



I am dying to be taken away on the trip of lifetime!

[Boourns]

Bowie>McCartney

I can't see both beeing there...

Both would be a stretch, but McCartney is actually in the realm of possibility since Bowie absolutely refuses to ever tour again.

Bummer because I really want to see Bowie. Especially after Pulp.

[rage patton]

True... it does seem Bowie REALLY doesn't want to play any live shows. However, if any festival promoters are going to get him to play, it will be GV.

[Boourns]

David Bowie didn't even play the festival he curated last year. Not even for one song with the Arcade Fire. I wonder what his deal is.

[MarkO]

Not sure when it actually happened but he (Bowie) did turn up and sing at the Royal Albert Hall when Gilmour played there. I think this was in '06 or maybe '05.

[rage patton]

I know someone who saw Paul McCartney a couple year ago and he opened with the Magical Myster Tour. He said it was amazing.

Yeah, I thought he would have atleast made a surprise appearance. Nope.

So what is the best Beatles album?

[zenidogx]

Bowie>McCartney

I can't see both beeing there...

i dont know. that one's tough.

but i'll take macca, he was a beatle. he is Sgt Pepper.

"hey jude" live is an uplifting experience.

[humanoid]

not knocking the Beatles, but the 2 I'd want to see are dead.....I'll take Bowie please

[thinnerair]

<3 beatles

[frozen pilgrim]

beatles= awesome
paul mccartney headlining coachella= no please

[JSam67]

Lennon > Bowie >>>>>>>>>> McCartney

I really hope McCartney never shows up at Coachella, I'm focusing my attention on Bowie.

[Boourns]

Fuck all the haters. Most of them will be in the Sahara watching somebody pressing buttons of somebody else's music no matter who headlines.
