8/10
Good at some points, bad at some...

Warning: Spoilers
****SPOILERS HERE**** Obviously one of Paul McCartney's great concerts, this showcases the first time he included former Beatle songs like "Got To Get You Into My Life" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in his song line-up. His performance here for "Band On The Run", "Live And Let Die", the two songs above, and most especially "Get Back", raised the hairs on my back and made me clap at the end.

What spoiled this nice performance are the following: The last riff played by Paul's guitarist/bassist in "Get Back", the oh-so-awful lighting in "The End" (it annoyed me so much that Macca and his boys just strummed on without taking in the reaction of the already-peeved audience, and the lighting was so poor that I could see the audience better than the performers). Lighting is important, and they failed it. Although they are great musicians, they should also notice if the audience is getting bored, as I did.

All in all, a modest performance.
