Paul McCartney/Norway 2004

After Linda’s death, Paul did not tour for a long time, although he appeared on stage solo. However, as his children grew up and he found a new partner, Heather Mills, he began touring with a new band in 2002. It was a large-scale tour after a truly blank 9 years. Although we could not have imagined it at the time, we have continued to tour somewhere around the world almost every year since then. A driving tour was held in 2002, followed by the Back in the World Tour. He must have gotten a solid feel for it over the past two years. After a long-term tour spanning two years, Paul continued on tour in 2004, but this year it was a short-lived tour of only 14 performances in Europe in the summer. That is the 04 SUMMER tour. This tour did not attract much attention as there were only a small number of performances and there were big tours before and after, but for fans, the rare songs and composition are very rare and worth paying attention to. Besides London and Paris, where they have held many concerts, the fact that they chose a European city that they had never been to before was a grand run-up for their next tour. I suspect so. The opening song is a sampled song by the DJ. And with a high count, the first song begins with “Jet”. Surprisingly, this is the only tour in which this song comes first. “Flaming Pie” will be performed for the first time on this tour. The highlight is “You Won’t See Me”. Although it was a song that was played at the Japan performances in 2016 and the following year in 2017, the arrangement was changed and it was performed as one of the acoustic corners. In this 2004 tour, it is not only the first live performance, but also a proper band performance like the Beatles. Wicks plays that impressive piano on the keyboard, and the chasing chorus is also properly backed up. Similarly, “She’s A Woman” was played unplugged in 1991 after the Beatles disbanded, with a changed acoustic arrangement, but this tour was the only time the band played it with an electric set. Something precious. From the bouncy guitar cutting to the bluesy vocals, I can feel deeply that they are the same person who was singing at the Budokan during the Japan performance. “In Spite Of All Danger” is also premiered on this tour. Until the anthology came out, only the title of the song was known, and no one had ever heard it. It was a short song that the members of the Quarrymen at the time could only imagine, reminiscing and saying, “I’m sure it was something like this,” but they never thought the day would come when Paul would actually perform it on stage. . At Paul’s concerts, he always performs “Here Today” as a song dedicated to John, and “Something” as a song dedicated to George, for the members of the Beatles who went into exile, but on this tour, he performed “All Things”. Must Pass” is being played. This is also a very rare song selection. He also plays “Yellow Submarine” for the living Ringo as an entertainment. And here are the highlights. “I’ll Follow The Sun” will be premiered on this tour. It is basically played acoustically. It was continued to be played on the following tour in 2005, but it was only included in the set list for a short period and has not been played since then. Although “For No One” was previously re-recorded in the 1984 film “Broad Street,” this tour will be the first time the band has performed it live. It’s a near-perfect copy of the Beatles’ version, with Wicks playing a baroque harpsichord. The English horn interlude is also reproduced. “Penny Lane” was only played on tour in 1993 and 2004. Despite the song’s catchy, beautiful melody, trumpet interlude, and many highlights, it is rarely performed on stage, probably because it is difficult to sing. Paul’s vocals that can actually be heard here are very dangerous from the intro. Speaking of an unusual arrangement only at this time, a long intro has been added to “Band On The Run”. Considering that this was also cut for the following year and then played normally as recorded, it can be said to be a rare arrangement only for this tour. Also, because the stage is now configured to play the final medley of Abbey Road in full, and because the Reprise is now played alone, the medley of “SGT. Reprise” and “The End” that concludes the concert is also available. It is now a rarity. From the European tour in the summer of 2004, which was held for a short period of time, the Oslo performance in Norway was completely recorded in high quality on June 14th. The unusual set list, arrangements that were only performed on this tour, rare songs, and stage composition are unique and cannot be seen on other tours, and considering that the number of performances itself was small in the first place, all of them are maniacs. This is a must-listen. VALLE HOVIN STADION OSLO NORWAY June 14, 2004 DISC ONE 01. Opening DJ Performance 02. Jet 03. Got To Get You Into My Life 04. Flaming Pie 05. All My Loving 06.
