I was yesterday in the main place of Mexico City - Zocalo - with 200.000 spectators and I am deeply impressed. Paul is a legend and it was a unforgetable experience in my life. He still has got spirit like in the 60ies and this june he will be 70 years old. He is an artist, entertainer, singer. I hope he will come back next year.

The Teenage Cancer Trust show at London's Royal Albert Hall offered an early opportunity to catch Paul McCartney for the second time in four months, and with it being a much smaller venue than the huge impersonal arenas he usually plays it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

The set was largely the same as that he has toured for the last couple of years but sadly two personal favourites, 'Jet' and 'Live and Let Die' were both axed which was a real shame especially when you consider the much weaker 'Dance Tonight' was played. On the plus side the latter allowed Abe Laboriel Jr to show off his cool dance moves from behind his kit. Also, call me a philistine but I didn't miss the 'Give Peace A Chance' singalong that regularly gets performed.

It was nice to hear 'My Valentine' dedicated to his wife Nancy, and this was followed up by 'Maybe I'm Amazed' which was dedicated to Linda.

Regular Macca-watchers may be tiring of the same old anecdotes introducing particular songs, but you can't grumble about this too much as many of the audience may be seeing him for the first time, or for the first time in many years.

The crowd was a little subdued, mainly because of security's insistence to keep people sat in their seats, but when 'Back In The USSR' was played two thirds of the set in, the audience took to their feet like an unstoppable force and remained there for the rest of the evening.

For an encore of "Get Back', McCartney called on to the stage Roger Daltrey, Ronnie Wood and a strangely reticent Paul Weller to help out. While Wood was happy to share the spotlight with McCartney at stage front, Weller looked subdued at the back of the stage and noticeable slipped quickly off at the song's finale and was missing as they all took a deserved bow. A glorious solo version of 'Yesterday' was followed by the Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End and the evening was over.

It was another satisfying and value for money performance from McCartney - long may he continue performing such high calibre sets, and it was a treat seeing him play in a smaller venue.

Up until eighteen months ago, Paul McCartney had kind of passed me by. I'd seen him at the Royal Albert Hall Montserrat Benefit show in 1997 but hadn't really felt the urge or need to catch one of his shows. Then in June 2010, I saw him perform in Cardiff and was blown away by his performance which had the Millennium Stadium on its feet throughout the entire evening. Further shows followed - pure luck in the ticket sale meant I got tickets for the 100 Club performance and then I caught him at Hammersmith shortly afterwards. By this time I was well and truly hooked, and annoyed that I'd waited so long before seeing him in concert.

I didn't hesitate in getting tickets for the MEN, they were good side seats and although on the expensive side, experience has shown that you get superb value for money. This performance was no exception consisting of a mammoth setlist jammed with classic songs and close to three hours long. It was breathtaking from the opening bars of 'Magical Mystery Tour' to the finale of 'Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End'.

Although the setlist hasn't changed a great deal in the shows I've seen, there has always been sufficient change to make each show interesting and different. Some songs clearly cannot be dropped, and introducing numbers such as 'Night Before', 'I Will', 'I've Just Seen A Face' 'The Word' and 'Come and Get It' do help keep things fresh. Naturally, we were treated to 'Wonderful Christmas Time' complete with drummer Abe Laboriel Jr's dexterous dance moves and choir assistance and a fall of "snow" from the arena roof.

The highlights for me were 'Live and Let Lie Die' which remains a pyrotechnic fan's wet dream, 'Back In The USSR' which was simply stunning, and 'The Long And Winding Road'. Minus points would have to be 'Ob La Di, Ob La Da' (never cared for the song) and 'Dance Tonight' (too twee) both of which could be replaced by much stronger songs surely?

I have to confess I didn't really care for the part where a few fans were brought on to the stage who had prepared noticeable banners to say exchange a few words and get autographs, but I suppose this served as a mini-break and at 69 years old you can't begrudge Macca a breather now and then especially in a show of this duration. It's also further proof of my gradual morphing into a grumpy old man.

The band remains top-notch - Brian Ray and Rusty Anderson on guitar, Paul Wickens on keyboards and the powerhouse Abe Laboriel Jr. They've played with McCartney for many years now, and it shows. They are a well drilled unit, and hey, what's not to like about playing this collection of material?

Oh, and to the person who was trying to take photos on his iPad(!) during the show, please don't. It's very distracting and inconsiderate to those behind you and you look a bit of a knob.

Overall, this was superb entertainment and about as five star a performance as you could wish to see.

I've been lucky enough to catch McCartney a number of times in recent years from Earls Court, to Hammersmith Apollo and the O2. He never disappoints, an absolute true professional.

He has an amazing back catalogue of songs to dip into and once again took the audience on a wonderful eclectic journey filled with sensitivity, energy and pomp. McCartney does something virtually no artist can do, he fills the O2 with sound and has the stage presence to light up what is essentially a metal shack in the Docklands.

Hopefully he will roll out again next Christmas for the annual treat. It's becoming a bit of tradition these days!

I have seen brilliant artists from Elton John to U2 in concert, but I must say that Paul McCartney makes them all look like buskers. From the opening lines of "The Magical Mystery Tour" to the final notes of "The End"- Paul gave us everything we could have wished for and much more.

The vocals were as good as it has ever been, and the bass playing on the famous Hofner bass was immaculate. During Beatlemania, there were apparently times when the audience could not really hear the music at a Beatles' concert because of the screams. However, although there was no John, George or Ringo on stage- we heard every note and every word- and I would say at this present moment in time that this is the closest one could ever come to seeing the Beatles live.

It was the first time in my life that I got to see Paul McCartney in concert, and it was one of the best moments in my life. I can now die a happy man.

I thought Sir Paul was absolutely brilliant. I never seen a none stop energetic performance such as this. 3 1/2 hours of excellent music. To be fair there are a few Beatles and Wings songs i am not keen on, but even those songs were brilliant. Such a good entertainer with a great band. Live and let die would have to be the best performance/show i have witnessed. 5 stars for this. Great!!!

This was an amazing performance and was even better than when I saw Paul McCartney at the MEN Arena in 2003 ! I expected him to be brilliant and he was ! Paul McCartney is a multi instrumentalist and played piano, bass guitar, rythmn guitar and accoustic guitar brilliantly whilst at the same time singing ! The band he played with were also excellant !! A brilliant performance well worth seeing.

Does it get any better than Paul McCartney in Liverpool playing the best of The Beatles, Wings & his other solo stuff. From the opening Hello Goodye to Helter Skelter a trip down memory lane of some of the greatest songs ever written, the band was tight, the light show and pyrotechics just right. An emotive pleasure trip for a non stop 3 hours, no it does not get any better than this! Well done Paul.
