The first and last time my wife and I went to a Paul Mcartney concert at the Nassau Coliseum was almost twenty years ago and I remember at as being a lot of fun. This past Tuesday, the now seventy five year old former Beatle played for an amazing three hours to an adoring mostly mature crowd, although some brought their young ones along to see a legend in the flesh. 

Playing an energetic set with no intermission, McCartney was quite amazing playing mostly a mix of a wide range of tunes from the Beatles and Wings catalogue while mixing in a couple of new songs as any true artist should. Sir Paul looked and sounded great and while his voice was understandably slightly raspy at times with his recent busy concert schedule, this was not a man just cashing in on his reputation. Acoustic, electric, bass, and ukulele, this concert had something for everyone including Long Island’s favorite son Billy Joel joining the encores for “Get Back” and “Birthday”.

The Long and Winding Road 

Rock on!
