Последние концерты Маккартни 2010 года: 17/18 декабря - Лондон, 20 декабря - Ливерпуль

Как сообщает британский таблоид The Sun , Пол Макккартни готовится дать два небольших концерта в Лондоне и Ливерпуле за несколько дней до Рождества.

Макккартни с легкостью может собрать спортивную арену, но предпочитает выступить в более камерной обстановке, дав концерты в лондонском зале Hammersmith Apollo 18 декабря и ливерпульской O2 Academy 20 декабря. "Рождество - это прекрасная возможность для каждого оттянуться на рок-концерте. Мы предвкушаем атмосферу праздника вместе с зрителями Лондона и Ливерпуля", - сказал экс-битл.

Билеты должны поступить в продажу в среду, 8 декабря в 10 часов утра.

Главное, чтоб система бронирования Hammersmith Apollo завтра не умерла от наплыва желающих, а то знаю я, как это бывает. Зал не из крупных, билеты разлетятся моментально просто.

Following a year of massive international-headline-grabbing sellout stadium shows, Paul announces he will bring 2010 to a close with two very special intimate and personal homecoming shows. Paul and his band are planning two spectacular nights of celebrating and rock n’ roll in London and Liverpool to end the year on a massive high just as they did with their only UK show of 2009 last December at London’s O2 Arena.

The first of these two concerts will see Paul return to London’s Hammersmith Apollo for his first full solo show there in 35 years, his last appearance being with Wings in September 1975; Paul first appeared there with The Beatles on December 24th, 1964 for The Beatles Christmas Show. The second concert will see Paul return to his roots as he travels home to Liverpool to play the 02 Academy for the first time in his unrivalled career. Paul’s last appearance in Liverpool was in June 2008 at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium as part of the cities celebration for their year as European Capital of Culture.

Speaking about the forthcoming shows Paul said:

“I always love playing to a home audience and for me it’s the perfect way to end the year. We’ve had great fun with the stadium shows this year and we’re looking forward to the more intimate vibe of these ones. Christmas is the perfect excuse for everyone to let their hair down and rock out. We are looking forward to celebrating with the good people of London and Liverpool”.

2010 has been another whirlwind of a year for Paul, and if you thought he’d had done it all before, you’d be wrong! 2010 saw many career firsts for music’s most treasured icon including rocking The White House in front of President Barack Obama and his family in June when Paul was awarded with the prestigious Gershwin Prize For Popular Song (he was the first ever UK recipient). In January Paul announced plans for his all new ‘Up and Coming Tour’ which has taken Paul across America, the UK, Canada and more recently South America, breaking box office records along the way and winning incredible reviews from both fans and media. On Paul’s recent South American tour fans set up makeshift ‘McCartney Villages’ outside the stadiums in order to get themselves at the front of the crowds when the venues opened.

Paul played a handful of shows to quarter of a million people in the UK and Ireland this summer when his ‘Up and Coming Tour’ came to Dublin’s RDS, Glasgow’s Hampden Park, the Isle of Wight Festival, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and London’s Hyde Park.

Paul’s end of year shows will feature a typically diverse set list, drawing on nearly three hours of the world’s most loved music. Paul’s concert will include songs spanning his entire career, from The Beatles, Wings, solo material and tracks from The Fireman’s 2008 album ‘Electric Arguments’.

Paul’s live shows have reached a new level of status in recent years, garnering unprecedented reviews from fans and critics alike. He’s pushed boundaries, performed to millions and made global news with monumental shows including performances in Moscow’s Red Square, outside of the Coliseum in Rome, the largest outdoor show ever in the Ukraine, his first performance in Tel Aviv, a live performance transmitted to a NASA space station, first ever festival appearances at Glastonbury and Coachella, traffic stopping roof top performances in New York, the inaugural run of shows at New York’s CitiField Stadium, the site of the former Shea Stadium where The Beatles played the 1965 concert that set the precedent for the modern-day stadium rock show, rocking The White House and the list goes on!

https://www.beatles.ru/news/news.asp?news_id=6418

и ещё 11 декабря на Saturday Night Live
http://www.paulmccartney.com/news.php#/2082/2010-11

Кстати вот тут http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Saturday_Night_Live_episodes
написано, что маккартни принимал участие в этой передаче ещё 17 мая 1980 года, но на youtube я это выступление не нашёл.
Кто-нибудь его видел? Вроде как к тому времени Wings распались и не понятно с кем и какие он песни играл.

2Beatles4:

>Вроде как к тому времени
>Wings распались и не понятно с кем и какие он
>песни играл.

Вингз распались только в 1981. Из Википедии:

During 1980, Wings continued to demo some more tunes, and some work was done on a never-released "cold cuts" album of previously unreleased songs. Finally, in October 1980, Wings returned to the studio to record demonstration versions of a number of songs for its next album. However, following the murder of John Lennon in December 1980, Paul McCartney was unable to continue with the sessions, and Wings went into hiatus. McCartney restarted the project on 2 February 1981 as a solo album to be dedicated to Lennon, and soon after Juber and Holley left the band, although Laine continued as part of what became the Tug of War sessions, which ended on 3 March. On 27 April 1981, it was announced that Laine also had left the group, and that Wings had formally disbanded.[15] McCartney claimed that the group members "parted in a friendly way."[16]

Надейюсь Маккартни не запретят исполнять Hey Jude в Англии в связи с арестом Джулиана Ассанджа в Лондоне

Надеюсь, нам не запретят читать (и отвечать)- не запретят ли исполнять Hey Jude в Англии в связи с арестом Джулиана Ассанджа в Лондоне.

Liverpool holds 1200, London 5000.

Ну тогда счастливо вам съездить!.) Полагаю, для обладателей действующей визы это очень даже возможно. Сама пока пропускаю, но есть надежды на будущее!))

Для попадания на концерт визы, к сожалению, недостаточно. Ладно, есть ebay и прочие, может, там повезёт. Я-то в любом случае в Англии буду в следующие выходные.

Да вот если ее в этом году нету, как у меня, то тем более уже не успеть!.) А что там, не так много билетов и их очень быстро раскупают?.

Тикетмастер благополучно ограничил возможность покупки билетов для нерезидентов UK, hmvtickets.com выдал мне сообщение об ошибке (раз 20), затем просто завис и отказался работать. Вариант позвонить не сработал, я минут десять слушала в трубке на жуткой громкости Holly Night, потом мне сказали, что все операторы заняты, и всё.
Билеты на Маккратни (да и не только) в Европе всегда разлетаются со страшной скоростью, потом остаётся ловить удачу на ebay.

SIR Paul McCartney’s Christmas homecoming gig sold out in a record-breaking four minutes.

The rush to buy tickets for the show at the O2 Academy reached unprecedented levels at 10am today.

Consequently, the concert became the fastest-ever selling gig in Liverpool music history.

It was also believed to be the quickest sale in O2 Academy history.

Only 1,200 tickets were available for the concert on Monday December 20.

But the sprint for a pass to see Macca left thousands of music fans ultimately disappointed.

Some questioned the sale process and told the ECHO they were unable to locate a page where the cheapest tickets, sold for around £50, were being sold.

Instead, the Paul McCartney Hot Band Package, priced at £411.25, for a ticket, tour merchandise item and collectible laminate, were instead on offer after the general allocation had apparently sold out.

A spokeswoman for The Academy Music Group was unable to answer how many £50 tickets were available to customers from 10am today.


Paul Davies, 27, of Allerton, said: "I wonder if there was only a few hundred to buy at normal price and the rest were set at this packaged £400 price.

"I am disappointed. I went to see Paul at Anfield and it was great."

Thel Leith, 58, of Allerton, managed to reach the "Buy Tickets" screen, only for the filling out of the security catchpa to repeatedly reveal a message stating "cannot find tickets".

She told the ECHO: "I am gutted, particularly as I got through all the pages. Were there actually any tickets available once it was 10am?"

This weekend Sir Paul will appear on the USA’s legendary Saturday Night Live.

Forty-eight hours later, the former Beatle will play Harlem’s world-famous Apollo Theatre for the first time ever, a warm-up for the shows in London and Liverpool.

It will be his first public appearance in Merseyside since he picked up an MTV music award from Bono at the ECHO Arena last year.

The previous summer, he had wowed a sell-out crowd at Anfield to mark Capital of Culture year.
