Three of the musicians had never played with Paul in prior years, and I kind of got the feeling they were still just a little in awe of him.īy 2005, though, Macca and this band - Rusty Anderson on lead guitar, Brian Ray on rhythm guitar and bass as needed, Abe Laboriel Jr. Paul’s band was the best he’d had in years, but they seemed a little too respectful, for lack of a better word. While the 2002 concerts were very good, they didn’t quite click at times. (Note that’s meant to be pronounced as “us”, not “US” as in “USA” – it’s a pun!) I’m sure part of the reason I was so happy with the “US” tour stemmed from my reduced number of viewings, but it also had a lot to do with the quality of the shows. That sounds like a lot to most people, but since it was barely half the number I saw in 2002, it acted as a major decrease for me.Īnd probably a good one, since I came away from the 2005 “US” tour wanting more. This meant I “took it easy” for Macca’s 2005 US tour and only went to six shows. Though it was a good concert, the lack of variation in the setlist and other stiff elements meant it wasn’t terribly satisfying when viewed that many times. I’m happy to take in multiple concerts for acts I love – going to 15 or more shows on a single tour isn’t a big deal to me – but Paul’s act got a little tedious with all that repetition.
