I assumed he never stopped being a 'round-the-clock stoner, and may even still grow his own. Did he make noises about giving it up?

Heather made him quit iirc

I think people - although not McCartney fans or music geeks - often forget just how huge of a stoner the guy was. The guy could probably have out-smoked the entirety of the average touring funk band at one point.

Yeah, I mean, he basically had the farm in Scotland for the sole purpose of growing weed, didn't he?

My friend who DJs pre-show for Macca was out there, in his white suit and waving a rainbow flag.

cool! he did a great job! it was a nice mix of Love-style remixes and classic 60s souls covers of Beatles material
xpost hah he played Let Me Roll It early in the set i bet it was a nod to the stoners in the audience

for Temporary Secretary he had this kraftwerk style vector graphics and for Live and Let Die there was a Metallica-style stage show that would explode whenever he sang "Die" and it was as loud as indoor fireworks i lolled every time. it was cool to hear him tell stories, even if you have heard the one about Jimi Hendrix playing Sgt. Pepper a million times, to hear the person who was there talk about running into "Mick and Keith" it was fucking awesome and yes this is a huge part of the live show, seeing the Beatle tell these famous stories, for he is this living legend, who has lived this amazing life, and seen so much, and is a great storyteller.he did Something on ukulele, and told a story of first doing this for George while they were hanging out at the Harrison's estate and it was really beautiful, it segued into a full band section at one point that was cool. he did one encore that included a rad Birthday. his voice was impressive throughout, only being a little weak during the high points of Maybe I'm Amazed, giving the performance a sense of self reflective nostalgia or wisdom or something else human and profound. at the end of the show he invited two groups of fans onstage to get autographs and introduce themselves. one girl showed up with a poster that told her parents she was coming out, and it was a very emotional moment, and Paul said some words in support and thanked her for coming to the show. then a family went onstage wearing matching Sgt. Pepper costumes that the mother had sewn (she told him she was a seamstress) and Paul singed them and thanked them for coming. the husband's name was Hank which was kind of eerie for me because my grandfather just passed this year and his name was Hank. it was very weird because they were a 4 piece family and i had gone to the show with my mom and two brothers. it really felt like an out of body experience.

paul did the ukulele thing with "something" when i saw him at coachella back in, i think, 2009. it was gorgeous and moving and one of the concert experiences that really has stuck w/ me through all these years.

apart from the half-assed lyrics, you can tell Drive My Car is a McCartney composition from the discrepancy between the mediocre melody and the all-time bass line

yeah! a few months ago for the solo poll i was trying to hunt down any footage i could find of those sessions, so it's really cool to see this now. klaus voormann looks like he's falling asleep, ha!
i'm guessing this bit from the accompanying article - "What you do have on "How Do You Sleep? (takes 5 & 6)" is a brilliant slide guitar performance from the former Beatle George Harrison" - is referring to something on the boxset, not the video, because george looks like he's still trying to figure it out a bit

still waiting for McCartney to die (preferably in a public and horrible accident) so I can celebrate and piss off all the fucking awful hippies in my town who unironically listen to his worst Beatles tracks to this day
I hate him so much, more than any other musician I can think of except for the guys in Foreigner and Toto, and even they aren't as fucking annoying
so, yeah, Lennon.

absolute proof that we live in a world with no God is shown by the fact that Bowie died before McCartney

actually it proves the opposite, god clearly prefers to hear music live

Yeah great take !And Klaus V certainly hadn’t smoked only Gitanes...As for McCartney haters, they shouldn’t wish for his death because when that day comes, he and his music will be inescapable in all medias for a little while !
