It may seem crazy, but even after 36 songs (yes, McCartney performed 36 songs) it still felt as if whole chunks of McCartney's career were overlooked. I also don't want to spoil too much about his stage setup (I love a good production, it's just who I am), but when I say McCartney lit fireworks above the crowd, I mean it literally. From witty stage banter, old stories from his day in The Beatles, to interaction with the sea of signs in his honor, McCartney's stage presence was everything you could hope for.

Paul may not be doing any spins, kicks, or jumps, but he still knows how to hold an audience's attention. at Thompson-Boling Arena | Dylan Basden Photography On the flip side, you have the beautiful "Blackbird" which McCartney did alone, the joyous singalong of "Hey Jude," and the passionate love ballad of "My Valentine." In addition, fans were given a special treat seeing "In spite of All the Danger" by The Quarrymen, the original rendition of The Beatles, performed live. How do I pick a notable moment from a show that was nothing but? "Live and Let Die" was an explosive rocker that just absolutely pounded into your chest, "Let Me Roll It" just brought a pure smile to my face, and "Helter Skelter" was quite frankly a face-melter. His drummer, Abraham Laboriel Jr., was practically the second star of the show with his impressive percussion and hilarious stage antics. He was also backed by an equally talented band, including a horn section. Paul would also pickup a mandolin, an ukulele, and various other guitars and keys throughout the night. Throughout the night he rotated between his iconic Höfner bass, grand piano, and electric guitar. Let's go ahead and get it out of the way Paul McCartney is an extremely talented player.
Paul McCartney performed for over two and a half hours, something that is rare to find in any live act today. He has chosen not to bask in the rays of his legacy, but continue to strengthen it. Yet, despite mountains of success, McCartney still tours with the vigor of artists with a fraction of his achievement. It should go without saying, but the former Beatle is widely regarded as one of the best musicians of all time, and that's without factoring in his stint with Wings and his collection of solo work (and his albums as The Fireman). Just a hair short of 80, McCartney should already be living in his legacy. With 22 NME awards, 18 Grammy awards, an Academy award, Knighthood, a two spots in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and much, much more, Paul McCartney has nothing to prove. The "Got Back" tour is McCartney's first tour back post-pandemic and marks the musician's first show in Knoxville. It is truly hard to find a place to begin when talking about this show.
