Anyone else watch him last night? Not bad for someone who is now 80 to do a 2 1/2 hour plus set! Yes, his voice is far from what it was even a few years ago and it's wobble was exposed on the quieter acoustic songs but on the bigger numbers his musicianship and that of his long time touring band made up for that weakness. Of course, when you have a back catalogue as big and good as his it helps and don't blame him for slipping in a few lesser known numbers.
The thing that struck me most was how many of the audience -most of whom were not even alive when he had hits with Wings let alone the Beatles-knew the songs and got into it which, I guess, only re-enforces his iconic status. Don't know how much longer he can keep doing big live shows with that shaky voice though however much he still enjoys doing it but, whatever some may think of him, his reputation was cemented years ago anyway.
