Paul McCartney Rocks on His One on One Tour
Paul McCartney has just rocked out his epic 8-date, 4-venue New York Run in September as part of his historic tour and reviews couldn’t be any better. Don’t miss to enjoy the music of this famous performer and buy your tickets here.
Paul McCartney is currently on the road with his world-wide “On on One” tour. The tour began in Fresno, U.S. on April 13 and is scheduled to end on December 16 in Auckland, New Zealand. Concerts are divided in ten legs consisting 49 shows in North America, 8 in South America, 10 in Europe, 4 in Asia and 7 in Oceania.
Paul managed to pack the best of his legendary sex-decade-career into his “One On One” tour, performing 40 songs for three hours and rolling through the memories playing both Beatles and Wings hits. He tried to describe the title of the tour:
“When I do the show, I feel like I’m kind of talking to someone like me in the audience, even though you’re at the back of the hall, we try and bring the intimacy to you. It’s me, one-on-one, with every member of the audience”.
He mixed it up a little bit with a 1980 synth-pop oddity “Temporary Secretary” and “FourFiveSeconds”, his collaboration with Kanye West and Rihanna. He also pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix with an instrumental guitar jam of “Foxy Lady.”
LeRoy Bennet, legendary production and lighting designer, gave its best to create experiential elements for this tour with semitransparent LED screens adding depth and a 3-dimensional feel for the audience. For selected acoustic sets, Bennet created original animations and video content and hundreds of lights while Paul is suspended in the air above the audience to celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” release.
He also created “Bayou Shack” section in the middle of the show that creates an illusion as if you are in the House of Blues instead in a large arena. This is definitely a spectacle not only for our ears but also for our eyes.
Berry Marshall from the Marshall Arts Team promoting McCartney explained how Paul always comes up with great ideas and loves to try different things to surprise the audience.
“His concerts provide a special escape from the pressures of life and, in my experience, it’s a musical journey which transcends all generations, and sees everyone who leaves each concert feeling joy, which endures long after the last notes are played.”
No matter what style of music he plays, this 75-year-old artist is the man who enjoys where he has been in life and looking forward to where he is headed.
