Music reviews of Good Evening New York City [2 CD + 1 DVD Combo]
Music Review: Good Evening, great concert, OK live album
Rating: 3 Stars
Yet another installment in the Paul McCartney live album catalog. Being a big Beatles and solo fabs fan, I did see the 3rd of his Citi Field concerts in July 2009 (my 2nd PM concert) and it was a great show, if not as great as Oct 2005 @ Madison Square Garden (never quite the same as the first time). But now having heard this, McCartney's 7th, 8th or whatever he's up to in count of live albums and videos, a few things I want to say about 'Good Evening New York City' ...
* His band (Rusty, Abe, Brian and Wix) are in fine form as always. Those four musicians should be a band unto themselves with a different lead singer and bassist someday (Sting? Roger Waters? Jack Bruce?) since they have earned their wings (pun was definitely intended!) and I would like to hear what they as a band can do outside of being McCartney's sidemen.
* Paul McCartney is now 67 years of age - it is truly amazing that at that stage of life, he can still go out on tours, rock out, and entertain thousands of people who will forever adore him for his Beatles and solo musical contributions to the world. But his singing voice is diminishing as time goes on -- hear the difference between his singing on 'Back in the U.S.' from 2002 and GENYC, seven years later. Or go back to 'Driving Rain' then hear his vocals on the next studio albums 'Chaos & Creation ITBY' ... 'Memory Almost Full' .. then the Firemen 'Electric Arguements' and the song "I Want to Go Home" from the 'Everybody's Fine' film. See the David Letterman performance from July 2009 -- the Radio City Music Hall performance with Ringo on 'LIttle Help from my Friends' ... and most recently, his vocals on the Ringo Starr "Walk With You" track that just came out on the 'Y Not' album. Sad, but true, McCartney's singing is getting harder to listen to (new product that is). Maybe there are die-hard fans who like his current voice and no matter what he does, will support him and buy any and every McCartney (and Beatles) related recording that comes out, uncritical and not wavering from their absolute devotion and almost disciple-like relationship to their magical musical master.
* Far from the days of Wings, where on 'Wings Over America' he gave us six Beatles songs -- on GENYC, all but one track on disc 2 are Beatles numbers, as there also several on disc 1. Don't get me wrong, I'm like many McCartney fans where no matter how much I like his solo work, still prefer the Beatles. But at this point, McCartney's solo career is 40 years and going strong -- he could rightfully perform more of his Wings and solo songs, less Beatles, and fans probably would not ask for their money back. The solo material he plays is mostly from 'Band on the Run' era -- no doubt among the best solo PM (with "Mrs Vandebilt", he has now put out live recordings of every song from side 1 of 'Band on the Run', just a bit of trivia for you Wings fans - with yet another 'Let me Roll It' here) but he overlooks a ton of other songs that would work well live -- "Junior's Farm", anything from 'Back to the Egg' for starts) -- so GENYC more than any previous McCartney live album is a gift to the Beatles fans who, when all is said and done, want McCartney to be a permanent Beatles nostalgia machine -- and hearing him at Citi Field with his band churning out "Paperback Writer", "Back in the USSR", "I Saw Her Standing There", "Drive My Car", "Hey Jude' and so on, that is indeed what most of us really want. For time to stand still, for Beatles music to waft in our ears and in our eyes, forever keeping us young at heart, with fond memories of John, Paul, George & Ringo as young lads whose music time never dulls and our ears never stop wanting to hear.
If you want a better overall performance heavy on the Beatles and of recent vintage, get 'Back in the US' or the DVD of 'The Space Between US' (which has a killer one-two punch of "Two Many People/She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" -- which at least digs deeper into his catalog beyond the very obvious "Yesterday" and "Let it Be"). But if you are completist, a true die-hard McCartney/Beatles fan, then by all means get GENYC and you will enjoy it very much.
I am hoping his next live album (no doubt he's not done with them) will delve deeper into his vast catalog of song ... or, here's a radical idea for Paul McCartney ... perform a tribute to John and George show (with Ringo) and do Beatles songs written by them .. since Paul has done "Something" and "All Things Must Pass", and also "Please Please Me" and "A Day in the Life", why not also try "Here Comes the Sun", "In My Life", "A Hard Day's Night", "Taxman" and many others his fellow fabs who are not "Here Today" he might do justice to the songs of Lennon and Harrison ... he already put his foot in the water, now Paul, I say dive in and try your hand at singing "Imagine" in front of a crowd -- bet people who love to see that.
