It would be something special if Cincinnati just witnessed the last-ever Paul McCartney concert in the U.S. And it would also be a shame.
McCartney, a legitimate legend who generally ranks among the public’s top-two-favorite Beatles, cruised through three hours of Fab Four and Wings tunes at Great American Ball Park. His energetic manner that suggested he could have done three more.
It was an inspiring performance by the 69-year-old, who is still singing great, playing great, and looking very happy to be out there. By the time he and his heavenly four-piece road band wrapped up “Paperback Writer,” the evening’s ninth song, McCartney’s long-sleeve dress shirt was soaked with sweat. But he just smiled his way through the night instead of chugging water or complaining about heat. (It’s interesting to compare McCartney’s disposition to that a rock singer half of McCartney’s age who’s canceling his band’s tour due to exhaustion.)
