Paul McCartney World Tour 2005 Seattle
November/3rd/2005
SET LIST:
8:25pm 20 minute DJ Disco Paul Mix. This set was very
clever with a DJ man playing a Re-mix of some
McCartney Classics, disco style. The graphics
on the screen were psychedelic with strobs and
color. Quite inventive. I want that CD!
8:55pm 10 minute movie narrated by Sir Paul. Good.
8:45pm Opener: Magical Mystery Tour (Paul on Hofner)
Flaming Pie (Paul pauses do “drink it all in”)
Jet
I’ll Get You in the end (Paul set this song up
by saying “If you remember this song then
you were not there).
Drive my car (Sang at Super bowl)
Till There was you (Ancient ca beret style)
Let Me Roll It (2 minute Hendrix jam at end
to Foxy Lady with Paul on his Les Paul)
Got to get you into my life
Fine Line (Paul on piano. Title Song
from new cd. Paul mentions he fell
into the piano pit on the 2nd night)
Maybe I’m Amazed (Classic live wings!)
Long and Winding Road (An Eric Fave)
Solo Guitar: The Living room set:
In Spite of all the Pain (1958 acetate with
the guys splitting the record fee! The
member kept it 23 years instead of
sharing it. He was to keep it for one
week. This track is featured
on Beatles Anthology)
Jenny Wren (New cd. in the style
“Blackbird”.
For No One(Paul on the piano with band)
Fixing a Hole
English Tea (New cd, “Chaos and Creation
in the back yard”. Paul loves his
cup of tea.
Follow Me (New cd. Paul dedicated this

year old daughter, Beatrice!)
I’ll follow the sun (Old Beatle shocker)
Bach Classical Guitar Piece (Acoustic)
Blackbird (Paul explains he wrote this
song adapted around that Bach piece)
Eleanor Rigby
Too Many People (This was a hug highlight
from the first solo album! Paul on
Hofner Bass. Unexpected song)
She came in through the bathroom window

track. Shows pictures of the shuttle)
Band On The Run
Penny Lane
I Got a Feeling! (Another unexpected
highlight! One of my faves)

participation. Paul directing)
10:55pm Live and let Die (Last official song.
special effects and fire and bangs
11:00p FIRST ENCORE: “Yesterday” Paul plays
the Epiphone guitar he used on
Ed Sullivan”.
11:05pm SECOND ENCORE: “Get Back”
11:10pm THIRD ENCORE: “Helter Skelter” (This
was a highlight! Rockin’!)
11:16pm FOURTH ENCORE: “Please please me”
Sound & unexpected. Short and
very sweet. Paul came out flying
a large American flag.)
11:20pm FIFTH ENCORE: “Let It Be” Good one.
with a Special painted piano!
11:25 SIXTH ENCORE: “Sargent Peppers
Reprise”
This was the perfect ending.
“We’re sorry but it’s time to go”
FINAL ENCORE: “The end”.
This show was a whopping 2 hours and 40 minutes
with another 35 minutes of “Opening agenda”. It was by
far the best show I have seen by him, and I have
caught 4 other tours, 1976 Wings in the King dome,
1990
“Flowers in the dirt” Tour in the King dome, The
“Driving Rain” Tour in 2002 at the Tacoma Dome, and
the “USA Tour 2005″ to promote the new cd “Chaos and
Creation in the back Yard). I’m telling you, I was a
kid in a candy store and I thought I had died and gone
to heaven! Out of some 38 songs, 24 of them were
Beatles. He really looked and sounded great. Not a 63
year old at all in the least. He was pumped up and in
full spirits. I give this show the HIGHEST RATING I
possibly could. He pulled out all the stops. My thumb
is way, way up! You Go Paul! I will definitely try to
go see him again live if there is another tour in the
future. He is also, contrary to popular belief, very
HUMBLE! I kid you not. What a sense of humor as well.
He is welcome for dinner at my house anytime! He is a
strict veggie you know. But oh can he ever write
songs! That is his best gift! Sir Paul? You better
believe it! He ROCKS!

Magical musical tour: Youthful Paul McCartney rocks
KeyArena
By Patrick MacDonald
Seattle Times rock critic
Paul McCartney may be 63, but it didn’t show during
his concert Thursday night at KeyArena. “We have come
to rock you and rock you we will!,” he promised fans.
Who was that young man on the KeyArena stage singing
Beatles, Wings and Paul McCartney songs Thursday
night?
It couldn’t have been a 63-year-old man.
Paul McCartney looked remarkably young ? especially
following the wrinkly Stones, who played the same
place Sunday ? and sounded much the same as he did in
the Beatles, many years ago. He fit right in with the
four young guys in his band (the hair dye helped), and
had even more energy.
Compared to the Stones show, which featured whiz-bang
effects, including a stage that floated across the
room, McCartney’s performance emphasized music. The
staging was impressive, especially the massive, busy
lighting effects and creative use of video screens,
including giant ones behind the stage.
The bright lights often shone into the audience, which
seemed to unite McCartney with the fans. “Let me drink
this in,” he said, his eyes sweeping the whole packed
hall.
The generous, 36-song set included 24 Beatles songs,
highlights of Wings’ career and cuts from his solo
albums, including four from the new “Chaos and
Creation in the Backyard.”
He saluted the other Beatles, which got a standing
ovation. The set featured the first song they ever
recorded, “In Spite of All the Danger.” Perhaps as a
tribute to Seattle’s own Jimi Hendrix, McCartney, on
guitar rather than his usual bass, added a bit of
“Foxy Lady” to Wings’ “Let Me Roll It.”
Thursday night, KeyArena, Seattle The show opened with
a DJ spinning deconstructed, remixed McCartney songs
for 20 minutes, followed by an excellent 11-minute
film on McCartney’s life and career, with his own
narration.
McCartney and his four-piece band opened with “Magical
Mystery Tour,” as the entire crowd leaped to its feet.
He followed with the weird, obscure “Flaming Pie,” the
propulsive “Jet,” a sweet “I’ll Get You” and a song
McCartney noted he played at the Super Bowl in
February, “Drive My Car,” with speeding race cars on
the big screens.
“Hello, Sea-at-le,” McCartney said, promising a long
night of music. “We have come to rock you and rock you
we will!”
He wasn’t kidding.
Among songs that energized the big, multigenerational
crowd ? the two kids in front of me in $250 seats, who
couldn’t have been older than 12, were ecstatic ? were
“Maybe I’m Amazed,” “Fixing a Hole,” “Good Day
Sunshine,” “Band on the Run” and “Back In The
U.S.S.R.”
McCartney played piano on several songs, including a
moving “Hey Jude,” with his bandmates supplying fine
harmonies and the audience singing the “nah nah nah
nahs” with Sir Paul conducting.
The main set concluded with the big production number,
the bombastic ? literally, with booming pyro ? “Live
and Let Die.”
The two encores consisted of high-energy Beatles
songs. The first opened with his masterpiece,
“Yesterday,” and rocked with “Get Back” and “Helter
Skeeter.”
The second opened with the early Beatles’ “Please
Please Me,” followed by the wise “Let It Be,” and
ended with “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and
“The End.”

McCartney mixes old and new to wow crowd
By GENE STOUT
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER POP MUSIC CRITIC
It took him nearly 40 years to do it, but it was
entirely worth the wait.
MUSIC REVIEW
PAUL MCCARTNEY
WHEN: Thursday night
WHERE: KeyArena
Paul McCartney, still slender and gorgeous at 63,
returned to the former Seattle Center Coliseum, now
KeyArena, for the first time since the Beatles’
hysteria-inducing performances of the mid-1960s.
With a four-member band led by keyboardist Paul “Wix”
Wickens and featuring lead guitarist Rusty Anderson,
McCartney led a capacity crowd — mature, but no less
enthusiastic than the screaming hordes of the ’60s –
on a celebratory journey through his musical past,
from the Beatles and Wings to songs from his new solo
album, “Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard.”
Scheduled to start at 8 p.m., the concert was delayed
by at least 30 minutes and began with a pre-show DJ
and 10-minute film on McCartney’s life and career,
from the bombing of London during World War II to the
recent Live 8 concerts. Dressed in black trousers,
turquoise shirt and black sport jacket, McCartney
launched the show with a boisterous “Magical Mystery
Tour,” the first of more than a dozen classic Beatles
songs. McCartney stuck to the 36-song set list
featured at other recent shows.
The show featured several songs at the piano and a
three-song acoustic set that began with the
’50s-sounding “In Spite of All the Danger,” the first
recording made by McCartney, John Lennon and George
Harrison in their pre-Beatles days. Among the best
songs from his new solo album was the somber,
sentimental “Jenny Wren,” which closed the short solo
set.
Wielding his trademark bass, Paul McCartney performs
at the KeyArena on Thursday night. The ex-Beatle got
the concert started with “Magical Mystery Tour” and
went on through an array of his hits, both with the
Fab Four and after, with some new songs sprinkled in.
View a gallery of concert photos.
McCartney played a vintage Hofner bass guitar, an
instrument featured on a number of older songs. For
his solo song “Flaming Pie,” six light clusters above
the stage appeared like space-age chandeliers. Above
the stage was a giant LED screen showing close-ups of
the band.
Behind McCartney, Wickens, Anderson, guitarist and
bassist Brian Ray, and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. was a
giant backdrop of video panels displaying animated
imagery and documentary footage.
“Greetings, Seattle,” McCartney cheerfully announced
before a spirited version of “Jet.”
“We have come for many miles to rock you tonight –
and we will.”
“Drive My Car” was accompanied by vintage films of
1950s dream cars. McCartney introduced the sentimental
“Till There Was You” as a “smooching song” from the
Beatles’ cabaret days. The song was accompanied by a
backdrop of clouds and blue sky. “Let Me Roll It”
featured a snippet of Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady.”
For “Fine Line,” the first song from his current solo
album, a piano rose from the stage floor, and
McCartney joked about falling into the hole on the
second night of the tour. Anderson induced the new
song by tossing a fortune cookie into the crowd, then
reading the fortune aloud: “Now is the time to try
something new.”
Another charming song from his current solo album was
the delicate, sentimental “English Tea,” accompanied
by an animated English garden scene complete with
oversize butterflies. The song featured the entire
band, except Anderson, who returned for the Beatles
song “I’ll Follow the Sun.”
“Blackbird,” “Eleanor Rigby” and “Good Day Sunshine”
were highlights of the show’s second hour. McCartney
proudly mentioned that “Sunshine” had been used last
summer to awaken NASA space shuttle astronauts. The
beautiful “Blackbird,” he explained, was adapted from
a J.S. Bach piece.
Pyrotechnics were featured on “Live and Let Die,”
which preceded the first encore of “Yesterday,” “Get
Back” and “Helter Skelter.”
The second encore began with “Please Please Me,”
continued with “Let It Be” (played on
psychedelic-themed upright piano topped by a candle)
and ended with a guitar-heavy version “Sgt. Pepper’s
Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
The show ended at about 11:30 p.m. with a hail of thunderous
applause and ” A SPLENDID TIME WAS INDEED GUARANTEED FOR ALL!

EMAIL: Ubunto is my hero….
So….
We all now that Pauli saved my master computer and restored it with Ubuntu. He went in through the back door with Ubuntu and was able to restore a dead in the water unit. I was frustrated, and ready to give up on all my 200,000 plus files and start over. That computer is essential to my overall business and especially my work doing private parties with Karaoke and DJ, which pay about $100 per hour or something. Without it I would be in the stone age and using discs exclusively. I do like to use cd’s though still. Pre-mixed tracks for weddings and special events work good, mixed with the computer allows me an option to program song lists and troubleshoot the PC while the cd plays on. So that Is, was, and will be…. way cool.EMAIL: Ubunto is my hero….

Without it I would be in the stone age and using discs exclusively. I do like to use cd’s though still. Pre-mixed tracks for weddings and special events work good, mixed with the computer allows me an option to program song lists and troubleshoot.
But now… Ta Da….. Ubuntu to the rescue again. I was hit by a Trojan virus on my lame vista home system. This thing was bad bad bad. I consulted with Paulie who was unable to get it fixed immediately. Then I called my friend Ollie who is very sharp and knows windows really well. He scanned and found multiple corrupt downloaded files with virus bullshit all through them using some special program which than deleted all the bad files. He tried for hours and hours, literally 7 hours or more to restore that stupid windows box, but to no avail. That is one nasty virus for sure! OUCH! We are still working up some kind of plan. (We may install a third operating system, an experimental new one made by Google). We will see. It would better to get a separate computer and just use Ubuntu on my main bill paying one. Because it is RELIABLE!
That all said and done…. it is Ubuntu to the rescue. Some time ago Paulie installed a second operating system, Ubuntu to operate in conjunction with windows. I simply rebooted to that system and I am able to access the internet, update my websites, check mail, surf, bank, and the works. IT HAS LITERALLY SAVED MY ASS. SO YOU CAN TELL YOUR Ubuntu CLASSES AND GROUPS MY STORY. IT HAS SAVED ME TWICE NOW. I TRULY love Ubuntu. IT IS VERY FAITHFUL. It is also very private and safe.
THAT SAID, I WOULD STILL LIKE SOME HELP LEARNING TO USE IT TO FULL CAPACITY. I AM FORCED TO USE IT EXCLUSIVELY RIGHT NOW, SO I WANT TO LEARN LEARN, LEARN! maybe A SESSION OR TWO WITH PAULIE OR CHUCK OR SOMEONE THAT KNOWS THEIR SHIT. PLENTY OF FOOD TIPS AND LOTS OF SMOKING AND STUFF WILL BE INVOLVED, I ASSURE YOU! SO NOW I AM A TRUE BELIEVER IN Ubuntu. IT JUST SEEMS TO WORK, WORK, WORK, WITH NO VIRUSES OR BULLSHIT. OLD FAITHFUL. i EVEN FIGURED OUT HOW TO UPLOAD MYSPACE PICTURES! Oh and the editor and spell checker that I love so much works like a charm in Ubuntu. When I used the emergency stand by windows in the safe mode, designed to get you to Microsoft long enough to give them more money for bogus licenses, yes’ I was able to check mail and stuff to a small extent until they kick you off. But the editor and spell checker were disabled. In Ubuntu they are all there. So I am a true believer now, and wish to voice my complimentary approval of this
operating system, and spread the word to theres. Microsoft sucks, and the costumer service is the worst. The worms and viruses are atrocious. Long live Ubuntu! I am a fan.
So now, my question would be how do I download my Kodak pictures while windows is tits? Does gimp do it? Could we install the Kodak software on Ubuntu since I am familiar with it? Also… what about ripping? I love my cdg ripper program Tim set me up with. I want to continue to use it. Will it work with Ubuntu? It is essential for upgrading my business catalog that I rip all the new cd’s both Karaoke and regular DJ music. I buy new stuff all the time as part of my tax write offs and customer requests. Will it do it? If not maybe another program could be recommended that works well with this operating system?
Thanks….
See everyone soon. Tell the classes about my story. You can read this email to them if you want. Ubuntu has saved my ass!

Grip is what I use for ripping audio CDs. But whatever you use make sure you can use LAME as it’s engine. Set LAME to the “insane” MP3 compression level for 320mhz rips with 2 separate stereo channels. The files wind up a little bigger than other MP3 files but I have never, ever had a song ripped with any audio artifacts(whistling or worse) using LAME set this way.
Don’t know about Kodak’s method of download, but unless they incorporate DRM on some level, it should be an automatic process.
One very common thing that people coming from a windows environment have to get used to is that there is very often no program that you must use to do any specific task. It is likely that the environment itself will indicate options and ask you what you want done…or that many applications have similar functionality.
Anji likes F-Spot, it is a lot like the mac image viewer I am told…but I like G-Thumb. It is so much simpler, but is also has less bell/whistles.
If you want to learn about stuff, pay Paulie or Chuck or just come to the bi-weekly learners class bro. Tuesdays from 7-9.

Tried the grip on Erics Ubuntu, not sure what happened, but after picking the mp3 options, it ripped the CD into wav files.
After consulting with Eric, he wanted mp3 files. Then I suggested using Sound-Juicer which I had installed with his ubuntu system many months ago. Story has been told about his Vista adventures.
I will continue to try to set up grip, but as of now, Eric is using Sound-Juicer and is loving it.
Come Join the largest GNU/Linux group in the City of Olympia [www.olymug.org] . Tutoring Eric has been more than just a pleasure. Can anyone guess which music player works with karaoke files?

Ripping CDs to MP3 is best with anything that fronts for LAME. I use GRIP, mainly because it exposes it’s internals pretty much completely. Set LAME for it’s ‘insane’ ripping mode and you will never hear any sound artifacts when a song goes from very quiet to full-on loud as can be in one beat. It’s awesome, and only takes another 30% or so of space to do it.

Dave,
exactly what settings do you set in grip for insane quality? I installed it, and poked thorough the encoder settings for lame, but everything was console based settings wrapped in the gui, with no obvious method to change the bitrate, whether numerically or “insane”, etc.
I’ve seen reference to insane in lame before; I understand what you mean but just don’t see that in grip.
This is why I stick to kaudiocreator; I can specify MP3 encoding (lame) to 320 vbr and get great results.
Post your grip lame settings, please

Sound Juicer uses the gstreamer0.8-lame package for encoding, whereas Grip uses the lame package. It could be that these are just what happen to be used in the tutorials I found - can anyone confirm whether Sound Juicer can use the lame package or Grip can use the gstreamer0.8-lame package? An explanation of the difference between all the different lame packages would be great.

How I rip MP3 files from CD:
Insert a CD and right click on the “Audio Disc” icon on the Ubuntu desktop.
Open with Audio CD Extractor
http://olylug.org/file.php?73,file=183
Go to Edit/Preferences
http://olylug.org/file.php?73,file=184
Make the output format CD Quality, MP3 (MP3 Audio)

This is cool Chuck I did not even realize you were on
the same page as me on the use of Sound-Juicer.
Here is some more info about Sound-Juicer
Continued from Chucks above.
click edit profiles
Replace the default Gstreamer pipeline with
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr=4 vbr-quality=0 quality=0 vbr-min-bitrate=32 vbr-max-bitrate=320 lowpass-freq=20500 ! id3v2mux
close the edit
close soundjuicer and restart
edit/preferences and select “CD Quality, MP3″
Here’s a guide to the pipeline command and its LAME equivalent
mode=0 -m stereo (change to mode=1 for joint stereo)
vbr=4 –vbr-new (use new vbr algorithm)
vbr-quality=0 -V 0 (use highest vbr quality , 9 is lowest)
quality=0 -q 0 (use highest quality encoding algorithm)
hopefully the rest are self-explanatory. I hope this helps someone.
Can anyone contribute anything about cdrip???????
Should I give it a another chance?

Using MP3 for archiving is of course not the absolute best due to the fact that even with the very best encoder a ‘lossy’ format will result in only a close approximation of the original waveform. Of course it can be very, very, very close…just not ever equal.
My car stereo only does MP3 and WMA, while my doctored thumbdrive player does OGG as well. So I typically use MP3 formate ripped at insane for my archiving so I can use it in any player I may need in the future.
–preset insane
Is the flag you would insert into GRIP or anything that uses LAME. Following is the blurb barely explaining the command line flags.
=====
–preset presetName use built-in preset
Use one of the built-in presets (standard, fast standard, extreme, fast extreme, insane, or the abr/cbr modes).
“–preset help” gives more information about the usage possibilities for these presets.
=====
Likely the functionality in GStreamer produces similar results. Just a matter of what one is used to.

Dave,
I really appreciate the information. And when time frees up, I will research it. All great for techies (Like most of us here).
On the other hand, Eric is a home user, and I feel that when showing most users the command line (I feel) makes them want to run back to other Platforms.
I am providing SIG’s, etc, to help demonstrate to the general desktop user how useful the new GNU/Linux Distros Desktop Manager like Gnome is. People are loving it. Instead of working with only one user/student, we work as a group, use projectors, shared networking, etc, so everyone feels that they are a part of what is going on. Only place in Olympia (that I am aware) that this type of presentation is being used today. Mostly with Ubuntu. Works great on latest greatest systems.
Eric wanted to express his happyness and got the chance to do so. I am hoping not to scare him away. He knows that mp3 format works on his car radio (USB Flash device option) which his significant other gave him at christmas time.
I demostrated grip for him (because of your great input), but he did not like it. He be a happy camper with sound-juicer. That is all there is to it.
Sorry
Pauli
P.S. Thank you Chuck for your visual examples

Don’t apologize man, if he’s using Free Software he’s on the right track and that is what counts. Grip is beta software. Very powerful because of all the engines it can use and options that can be set in them, but it is confusing to set up for the first time. It is not the only solution, or even the best, just a powerful one for those that can wrap their heads around it.

Ubuntu…
So simple.
I am because you are.
It’s like breathing. I am because you are. I am. Because you are.
Let’s breathe. Let’s be. Let it be. Let’s be free.
