Paul McCartney's $20 Steal

For $19.99 we figured what was the downside to watching Paul McCartney live from Quebec City?

Thinking back on it it was all upside. Yes. I know. We could have waited a couple of weeks and watch it for free on the CBC or something but last night was the perfect, lazy night to watch 2 1/2 hours of McCartney/Beatles/Wings songs.

McCartney quickly made all the "controversy" seem all the more pitiful through a combination of dead-pan humour and a trip down the path of nostalgia.

Majestic after magical after legendary song, Paul McCartney reminded those who witnessed and those who felt it generations later the full impact of his musical legacy.

These are The Beatles man!

Now I don't usually get into "who is the greatest stuff" but I would like to hear anyone make the case that The Beatles are NOT the greatest band of all time.

My parents sat and watched it with us.

I glanced over at one point and noticed legs and feet tapping to the beat of songs.

Such is the power of music - of The Beatles.

We're lucky to have had a musician of that stature celebrate Quebec City's 400th birthday.
