Paul McCartney Examiner

Paul McCartney fan Jorgen Isgaard told Beatles Examiner July 7 the show the former Beatle played July 7 at Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway was just superb. “Just back from Paul's magnificent Oslo concert. He was in great form,” he said. You can see photos from the show here.
“He was struggling with his voice a few times, but overall his voice was better than a few years ago. He sounded almost stunning at times, particularly on 'Another Day,' 'Blackbird,' 'Here Today,' 'Something,' 'Ob-la-di Ob-la-da,' 'Yesterday,' 'Hey Jude' and 'Can't Buy Me Love,'” he said. “Overall Paul was in a good mood, chatting to the audience in Norwegian and got the crowd really rocking and dancing towards the end.” He called the show the “best Paul concert I've seen out of six since 1972.”
In the setlist, McCartney brought back “Eight Days a Week” to open the show, replacing “Magical Mystery Tour” which was the opener at the previous show in Denmark. Isgaard noted that “Good Day Sunshine” was still in, with “One After 909” taken out, and also that “Temporary Secretary” was still in the show as was “Another Girl” as first encore.
The biggest change was that “Birthday” replaced “Hi Hi Hi” in the second encore. McCartney dedicated the song to both Ringo and his father Jim McCartney, who were both born on July 7. McCartney tweeted birthday greetings to them more than once on his official Twitter account Tuesday, most notably this one that was sent at about 1 p.m. EST: “Happiest of birthdays to @ringostarrmusic on this special day. It’s my Dad’s too – he would have been 113!”
