Despite rain, McCartney rocks Piedmont Park

2:39 am August 16, 2009, by Bo Emerson

By Bo Emerson

A little rain didn’t dampen the spirits of a cross-generational crowd of 40,000 who came to Piedmont Park Saturday to sing old Beatles songs with an old Beatle.

Sir Paul McCartney, 67, put on an enthusiastic two-and-a-half hour show, his voice and energy undimmed by time. Plenty of parents (and grandparents) in the audience danced with little ones on their shoulders, and time-tripped back to when their own hearts went “boom” when they saw a certain someone standing there.

But McCartney’s appeal extended to younger audiences as well. Celia Way, 24, of Charlotte sported a tattoo between her shoulder blades of the words to the third encore, “The End,” from “Abbey Road,”: “And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

“It sort of fit where I was at the time,” she says, of getting the inking last March. McCartney’s music, she says, is up there with Kings of Leon, Led Zeppelin and just a shade below Tom Petty.

Flanked by 50-foot-tall video screens, McCartney and his young band kicked off the show at 8:40 under glowering skies with “Drive My Car,” Macca’s voice as blues-rootsy as it was in 1965.

After the Wings-era tune “Jet” McCartney switched his trademark Hofner bass for a Finster-esque electric guitar and segued from “Let Me Roll It” into a “Foxy Lady” coda.

“I had to do that,” he said with a grin. “Tonight’s the 40th anniversary of Woodstock and I had to do a little Jimi there.”

The show included newer material from his work under the pseudonym The Fireman including “Highway,” but no fan of the Beatles music went away from Saturday’s show unsatisfied.

Some of the pleasures involved hearing songs that are never played live, including a version of “A Day the Life” and the “Sgt. Peppers” reprise, sandwiched with the triple-guitar battle in “The End.” “Day-Tripper” and “Got to Get You into My Life” were both thunderous.

As McCartney switched to acoustic guitar for a solo version of “Blackbird” and a full-band treatment of “Eleanor Rigby” (with synthesized violins) the skies opened up.

But spirits stayed high, no one sat down, and the rain dwindled by the time of the pyrotechnics of “Live and Let Die.”

The Script, a band from Dublin, Ireland, ably opened the show.

McCartney played a set list almost identical to those earlier on the tour, and included tributes to his colleagues John Lennon and George Harrison (a version of “Something” played on ukulele) and his late wife Linda McCartney that are set pieces within the show.

The concert, a benefit for the Piedmont Park Conservancy, closed down 10th street and took over most of the park, and the massive column of concert-goers marching toward the Midtown MARTA station at the end of the evening indicated that many took the “green” part of the “Green Concert” to heart. (The trash left behind did not reinforce that impression.)

Many Midtown residents threw listening parties on their own decks and patios, enjoying the music from the comfort of home.

“We’re just chilling in our front yard,” said Patrick Allos, who sipped a beer in the late afternoon sun and waited for the music to begin, situated advantageously on Monroe Drive with his friend Alan Kippeny. “We’ve got some rib-eyes coming later.”

I never imagined a weekend away from home could be so great. I am an old Beatles fan, but my wife too is a Sir Paul fan. Lawn seating for someone who had bilateral knee replacement five weeks ago could have been a downer, but I got to talk and meet my neighbors, visit with the friends that came with us from S. Georgia,and talk to folks in the lines for food and toilets, and then the concert. I was completely blown away that a performer could be so dead on and constant for so long, and all while seeming to be enjoying doing it, and actually happy to be there with us.

I sang along on practically every song- for an old man, it was a truly magical weekend.

Thank you Sir Paul, Atlanta, and Piedmont for one of my “lifetime” experiences.

Consider the microwaved pop idols of today as backdrop to Paul McCarthy performing at Piedmont. It was stunning to hear a musician/performer/entertainer who has been in the business for virtually my whole life be so profoundly superb at singing (not one instance of “pitchiness”), playing, producing and acknowledging where he came from, where he’s been, where he still might go and what his audience wants. It makes me weep to think I almost didn’t buy a ticket. Kudos to the fans who braved their camp-outs on the lawn alone because their middle-aged compatriots were overwhelmed by the potential inconveniences brought on by the concert restrictions, port-o-potties, weather, etc., as well as to the sympathetic “neighbors” who invited those of us who are horizontally challenged on to their blankets when last-minute interlopers wormed their arrogant behinds and heads in front of those of us who had suffered the heat and the wait for our sight lines to Sir Paul. I wish it could happen tonight all over again.

Now I know why I never read the AJC(well rarely). That was the worst review I’ve ever read. Were you even there? Well I was, and as expected, Sir Paul was incredible. He Rocked……never a pause, the band was so tight, he didn’t even stop long enough to take a breath!!!! As a lot of other people mentioned, the rain was so fitting being the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. Ya, I was there too. Kings of Leon????????How could anyone !!!!!!! Sorry Paul. Thanks for an awesome night. AJC – time for a new music reviewer

Paul fans, we ARE in the know. His boyish charm (who cares what age) has not faded in the least. Sister and I saw him August 17th, 1965 in Toronto and seeing him last night was just as riviting as it was so many years ago! He was unbelievable fantastic!!! A true performer, musician and especially song writer. I was surprised with the number of people there at the low audience participation….where was the noise Atlanta!??? Also, we have a bone to pick with the folks in charge of selling the VIP tickets. False advertising for one!! No more complaints though….Paul you are and always shall be…the Greatest!!! Love ya!!

Awsome Paul McCartney concert, and kudos to those who assisted in setting up Piedmont Park for a truly trouble free experience. One other feat of sheer amazement is that MARTA actually ran trains to North Springs without having to change at Lindburg. Now if only that could be done following late-ending sports events including Braves, Hawks and Thrasher games. Keep trying, Atlanta. “I think I can – I think I can – I knew I could – I knew I could…..”

“Old” Beatle? ” “A step below Tom Petty?” “The Kings of Leon?”

First of all, how old was the person writing this article? They remind me of the old joke back in the 70’s ‘”Oh, Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?”

Ok, here’s the truth. I took my 17 year old daughter to her first Macca concert in Columbus, Ohio, in 2005. It was my fifth. Before the concert, we went to get her a t-shirt. On the way back, I started crying, and she asked, ‘dad, what’s wrong?” To which I replied, “you just don’t understand. You will never hear anything greater than what you are going to hear tonight. My God, this is Paul McCartney. There hasn’t been anyone as great in rock music – though John might have been his equal.

That night was a magical mystery tour, through marmalade skies, with blackbirds flying around a fool on the hill. He drove his car down a long and winding road through the 60’s, into the 70’s, and into the 00’s, all the time guaranteeing that we have a smile on our faces with a very good time had by all. And in the end, when he played his next to last song – Let it be – my daughter who didn’t always understand me needless to say, pulled my arm around her, snuggled in under my arm, and said, “Dad, now I understand.”

His last song, please, please me, was a coda to our understanding that he did, indeed, please us.

There has never been anyone like him and never will be again.

Sir Paul, thank you. For your music, your life, your presence with us. Let it be.

This was my fifth McCartney concert, and I was surprised that he didn’t introduce the members of the band. Of course, we all went to see Sir Paul, but his sidemen were just as important to the overall concert and deserved their moment in the acclaim, especially Wix, who’s been with him for years and who leads the musicians and handles all the keyboard and synthesizer parts. Our group of five — ages 26 through 61 — were very pleased with the show overall. Thanks, Paul and the conservancy.

Paul McCartney is a musical genius. Always has been. The thing that struck me as so wonderful, though, was the obvious pleasure, fun, enjoyment and even humility sparking from his eyes and flowing through his voice as he performed. He still loves what he does and it shows! Last night was an experience never to be repeated for me, a magical night shared with Sir Paul the Master Magician. Many thanks and much love to my daughter Christa for her loving gift of the tickets and her time away from her family, not to mention her physical determination to push her Mama in a wheelchair all over the ATL, Marta, over potholes and speed bumps, and up/down hills at the Park. This, my friends, is unconditional love to make sure I got to experience a once-in-a-lifetime up close and personal evening with Paul McCartney. (Who is that ignorant person who could only describe his as an old Beatle? Next time send him/her to report on grand opening of nursing home for OLD PEOPLE over 35.) ADA seating and accommodations by the Park were not perfect, but for an outdoor concert they made a great effort to take care of us. Thank you for that. Greatest thanks to Paul for sharing himself with us. He rocked the park. To the law enforcement of Atlanta, thank you too. I felt safe and secure by your presence and reassuring attitude.

Bo you are the worst writer they could have ever picked to do this commentary. And only the AJC would screw up this bad. Also grab a 24 year old, why don’t you grab a 12 year old, or somebody that would have a clue? Paul McCartney can’t even be put in the same sentence with Tom Petty or the Kings of Who? I think you would probaly offend Tom Petty if you made that statement to him. The beatles and Elvis have the title they sold more albums then anybody in HISTORY. Which Paul was a major member.

Also to 30+ get a life, There haven’t been any good bands in the past 10 years, too bad they want to make the American Idol jerk offs, because they can’t actually send people out and look for talent anymore.

Paul sold like 47,000 at Piedmont and it was a AWSOME show, the venue sucked and it was not set up well, but that was Piedmonts parks fault. The last time Paul was here Mitchell? he played the Georgia dome, thats 60,000 plus he sold it out. The cap for Piedmont was 50,000. Not everybody likes outdoor shows, I went because I never seen him before, and if he came again and played the Ga Dome or Phillips i would be there in a second. Try going before opening your mouth.

ok, let me clear up exactly what i said to bo before the show…
he asked who some of my other favorite artists are and i said “oh…the doors, led zep, bob dylan, tom petty..” and he asked me “what about new artists?” and i responded with kings of leon and a few others.
just want to make it clear that i do NOT think kings of leon and sir paul are on the same level, at all…never will be.
yes, tom petty & the heartbreakers are my favorite band of all time.

this show was epic and something that will give me chills every time i think about it. i never thought i would get to see any of the beatles perform, and when paul came out on stage i was also one of those teary eyed screaming girls from shea stadium.

Cjs I wasn’t commenting on you, I was commenting on Bo, hes the writer? You have your own opinion and you cleared it up. Every generation has their faves, I’m 40 my generation was Van halen and Metallica, my sister who went to the show is 47, hers is Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin. etc……. We both loved the Beatles. Everybody has their own opinion, Just the way BO wrote the story was not good.

I agree the show was freaking awsome, but BO made it seem like Paul was just a old geezer. He’s a Icon, give him a little respect.

I wish BO would clear it up like you did. Thanks :)

Seriously, how could you possibly compare Sir Paul McCartney with Kings of Leon. AND, just for the record, my 26 year son knows more about Sir Paul’s music as well as other many classic artists of that era. I raised him right!!!!

Historic concert and performer and I was there. It was electric and transcended generations. My 13 year old and his friends know all the words to almost all of his songs! They are listening to the music I grew up with. When has THAT happened before?! Oh, yeah… his “young band” was awesome!

AMAZING concert! I’ve been waiting since 1964 to finally see a Beatle. But Sir Paul is more than just a Beatle. He has a lifetime musical career and he is still a remarkable performer. It’s obvious that he still respects his fans as much as we respect him. I’ll treasure last night forever.

Paul will always be the best! I’ve seen him 3X now and loved all 3 shows. My wife, her daughter, and I went to the extravaganza Saturday night. I’d built up how great he is in concert for years, because his voice is still identical to the records from a few generations ago, and as always he was spot on perfect. His band, who have been together for all 3 shows I’ve seen, were fantastic as usual! My wife, and her daughter were not disappointed at all. The rain only added to the special aspect of the day.
I’m 49, and can remember the Beatles playing on Ed Sullivan in 1964. It is one of my very first memories. The greatest thing about Paul McCartney is I remember him before I knew how to read or write. I remember him before I could drive, work or marry. I remember how they changed not just music and pop culture, but all things 60’s. His famous group and their iconic songs have been the fabric of mine and my wife’s lives since we were little children.
Although, my life and my wife’s life have changed greatly since first hearing about Sir Paul, on Saturday night we were both children again. Our childhoods came full circle Saturday night. And life, was really good again! Paul helped us reconnect with our roots. 2009 was 1964 again!
I’ve seen 100s of concerts. My 3 favorites are the 3 that I saw Mr. McCartney perform, including Saturday night. Thank you Sir Paul! Thank you! Thank you!
I can’t believe the amount of beer everyone poured through before and during the show. Nothing against drinking beer at a concert, but this was history, and not just another rock concert. You’d think they’d want to be sober enough to remember this event of all events.
PS- for the first time ever I actually cried when Paul sang John’s “Give Peace a Chance”. It was my most special moment I’ve ever had at a concert. Only Sir Paul could trigger that kind of emotion! Thanks Paul! All we need is Love!

I am 40 years old and grew up with the music of the Beatles, because my parents and my aunt loved their music. My aunt and I took our children (who range in age from 10 to 21) to see the show Saturday night. It was amazing to me to be at that concert and hear the songs from the author and original artist of those songs. The kids completely loved it, and we have taught them that all the bands that came after the Beatles were influenced by the Beatles. You can’t discuss the history of rock & roll without mentioning the architects. I rushed out to get the paper today, to see the review and I am dumbfounded. I am embarassed that the highest praise is that Paul McCartney is on par with Kings of Leon. With 40,000 people in that crowd, the reporter couldn’t speak to anyone who understands what an honor it was to attend that show? How he is 67 but looks 50 and rocks like nobody’s business? Where was he during Helter Skelter? AJC, if you want my 10 year old to rewrite the article and tell everyone what that show was really like, let me know.

I saw The Beatles three times (Atlanta in 1965, Memphis TWICE in one day in 1966), Paul (and Linda) seven times in 1989-1990:(NYC twice – MSG, Atlanta twice-Omni, Tampa-stadium show, DC 4th July RFK stadium and Raleigh stadium as well as three concerts 1993: Atlanta-GA Dome, Orlando-stadium and Charlotte Blockbuster Theater (filmed for tv special); one concert in Alanta in 2002 at Phillips and one concert in 2004 at Phillips. In all I’ve seen him perform fifteen times (16 now) and I’ve never, ever heard or seen him give any thing less than his all. On Saturday night once again he gave his all to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and sounded about as great as he ever has. His love of performing creates a beam of pure joy that shines on us all. I have never been disappointed by him and the only time I’ve ever heard his voice even slightly off was in Atl in February 1990 when he had to postpone a show for two days for a bad cold. Even then, he sounded better than 99.99% of performers

My only criticism would be for the Conservancy. The mile long line for entry was not propertly maintained and people simply walked through the park from Piedmont Rd and got in without waiting in the hour long line I and most others waited in. They should have had the Piedmont Rd entrance closed. Also, they REALLY needed to rope off a designated path about midway down the field going up the the right side hill for the “field” people to get to the johns and food – I got trampled all day and all through the concert by drunks.

Sir Paul, please come back soon and please (for your older fans) come to a venue with seats!

Love you.

There’s little I can add to all that’s been said before. This was my 16th time to see Paul (including 4 Beatles concerts), and he’s as good today at 67 as he was in 1964 at 22(in Gator bowl Stadium in a hurricane. Still fabulous voice (which Rolling Stone magazine once called “the most finely tuned instrument in music”), still sexy and gorgeous, and more energetic than any 25 year old I know.

Do hope he’ll return to Atlanta soon in a venue with seats, for this old gal with bad knees and arthritis.

There are many pretenders (Presley, Jackson come to mind) to the title KING where music is concerned, but Saturday night we all saw the true KING – long live the King!

Lovely show, lovely man – a wonderful time was had by all!

Will love you all my life, Paul.

My wife and I made the trip from Rochester, NY and a friend of ours flew in from Buffalo, NY to see Paul – what a show!! Without a doubt it was the best concert I’ve ever seen, nothing else comes close. 34 songs, 2 and a 1/2 hours, incredible. Paul does everything right, 8 encores?? Talking with the crowd, the funny stories, tribute to Jimi, John and George,
The power of “Live and Let Die” was awesome. The venue was laid out perfectly, as we never waited for anything, food, drinks, port-a-johns. We had a beer vendor visit us in the 20th row, talk about service. The place was trashed afterwords, but what do you expect with that many people being there for 8 hours? The clean up crew was on top of it the minute people started to leave. Obviously, the organizers had that well-planned as well. We had a great time in Atlanta!

I will never miss another one!

Kelly Mills,

I couldn’t agree with you more. This article appears on PAGE 4 of Section D (?) of the Aug. 17 edition the printed AJC, and only takes up a quarter of a page at that. Here we have THE legend of rock legends visiting our city, giving a once-in-a-lifetime concert, a truly epic event – and he can’t even get Page 1 treatment in Section D. The fans posting here are far more respectful and appreciative of Sir Paul than was today’s AJC.

Why’s everyone so up in arms over the amount of trash left behind? It literally was ALL picked up by the staff immediately after the show. Everyone knew there would be a huge crew cleaning up afterwards. I hardly suspect any detriment to the environment.

Everyone is talking like the garbage was left in the park forever. Seriously I’m an environmentalist and I had no problem with how the trash was handled by the concert goers or the staff.

Great Concert with a few exceptions……those who paid a lot to get in were corralled on a hill to the side where the view of the stage was terrible. While we had unlimited access to food and drink, the Diet Cokes were almost 2 years out of date–they all were as I checked cases of drinks! That’s a way to thank those who paid $400.00 per ticket—serve them drinks that should have been thrown away long ago! I’l buy the cheap tickets next time, get a great view, and pay for a drink!!!!

I think my favorite part was glancing over at my mom, who saw The Beatles play the Hollywood Bowl in 1964 when she was 13 and then a year later at Dodger Stadium, smiling from ear to ear singing every word. What a special evening. When it started raining while he played My Love, my wife said, “He made God cry.”

Instead of going out to a fancy dinner for our 37th wedding anniversary, we celebrated by getting tickets to see Paul. We are so glad we did. What an awesome show. We saw Paul last time he was in Atlanta and he was just as amazing this time. He truly connects with the audience. I can’t think of another performer that has his presence. We traveled from Birmingham and would do it again in a second. I have loved the Beatles since 8th grade. The review in Atlanta paper was done by someone that has no sense of music appreciation.

Sam and Steph,

You both were obviously not even at the concert, so your opinions and casting of dispersions mean zero to me. Brett is right.

For the record, I was there and had a grand total of one beer. I lift weights, and I run 10Ks and half marathons. Though I am likely older than both of you, I am confident that I could wipe the floor with either one of you in any test of physical endurance. Those who sit around with nothing better to do than to criticize that which they did not experience likely do not spend much time doing what they should do to take care of themselves.

Paul was amazing…totally killer and the night was a “once in a lifetime thrill”. Sadly, the Piedmont Park Conservancy botched the entire VIP process for everyone who paid $400. The Piedmont Park Conservancy advertised early admission for the VIP ticket. It took 30 minutes to get the first 500 people (I counted…I was about the 500th person in line.)through the “ONE TICKET TAKER” entrance on Monroe…while we could see hundreds of people streaming down the hill on the other side of the park at the St Charles entrance. My girlfriend was directly in front of Paul’s microphone about at 4:02…WHERE HE WAS STILL PERFORMING HIS SOUNDCHECK (IN PERSON)…and she paid $80 for a non-early admission ticket. Explain that one to me!! People in the VIP line were furious. Once inside the VIP area, I waited in a line of only 14 people (I counted.)for another 30 minutes to buy a t-shirt…the VIP area sold out of all XL shirts one hour after the gates opened…I had to go buy one in the general admission area. They had schwag beer…Bud, Bud Light, and Bud select…and they were lukewarm until after 7 or so meaning that that had not been properly iced down. In the end I must say not even the major downer caused by the clearly unprepared PPC could diminish the PAUL McCARTNEY experience. Paul is the pinnacle of music, their is none higher.

There will obviously be differences of opinion regarding the show, but the comments regarding Mr. Emerson’s writing and review of the concert have definitely dampened my spirits more than the rain did. First of all, Bo Emerson has been writing about the Atlanta music scene for longer than the majority of you have probably lived here and to claim that he has no knowledge of the Atlanta music scene or music at all is moronic. Second, attacking him for what was said in a quote indicates that you either don’t know what a quote is or simply didn’t read the article. Third, as a long time reader of the AJC and admirer of Bo’s work I remember that he himself is a long time vegetarian so ending with the comments about meat were not written in ignorance of Sir Paul’s feelings towards its consumption. People can attack the AJC all they want, but it seems to me that certain blog comments detract far more and are of greater embarrassment than the paper’s content. Mr. Emerson, I am still a huge fan of your writing and I dearly hope we can expect more music reviews from you in the future.

Reading the beginning of this post, so many people have no idea what a great force this Man has contributed to the human race. He, along with The Beatles, changed how we view concerts, being that they introduced the “Stadium” concert perception. A man in Atlanta came up with a new way to project the sounds of the concert in Atlanta. Paul McCartney is the Mozart or Beethoven of our day. These are all Men who will live forever through their music. Oh joy! Rapture! I am blessed that I was at Piedmont Park with Paul!
