Paul McCartney - 2005-11-01 - Denver, CO (Souncheck) (SBD)
2005: In September 2005, Paul McCartney launched the “US” tour, his 2nd North American tour in 3 years. His 2002 Back in The US tour had been a triumphant return to the stage for Sir Paul, who had been absent from the concert scene for almost 10 years at that time. The US Tour not only continued the momentum from 2002, but also showcased his critically acclaimed album, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. On that album, McCartney played every instrument himself, much like on his debut album, McCartney, back in 1970. In addition, at the suggestion of George Martin, Paul employed Nigel Goodrich as his producer. Goodrich was able to do something few would have dared – namely, challenge Sir Paul to be at his best. According to McCartney, "Nigel refused to allow me to sing songs that he didn't like, which was very cheeky of him”. Four tunes from the album – Jenny Wren, English Tea, Follow Me, and Fine Line – all were included in the set list. Of course, that still left plenty of room for a host of earlier solo material, several wonderful anecdotes, and 2 dozen Beatles classics. My wife and I were fortunate enough to see Sir Paul twice on this tour, on September 30 and October 1 at Madison Square Garden, but those shows are material for future posts. This post is a soundboard recording of the soundcheck for the Denver show from November 1, 2005, 12 years ago today.
