LIVE AND LET DIE
A Symphonic Tribute to Paul McCartney

Bass Hall

The Travelling Toe and a friend went to the Sunday matinee performance of the Forth Worth Symphony Pops Concert at Bass Hall.  The show was "Live and Let Die a Symphonic Tribute to Paul McCartney".  The show stared Tony Kishman, who has a played in various Beatles tribute bands.

The concert was very entertaining especially if you enjoy Beatles music.  With band mates Jim Owen, keyboards, Chris Camilleri, drums and John Mojave on lead guitar, Tony sung Paul's  music from the Beatles songbook as well as the Wings era.The Fort Worth Symphony provided extra layers to the songs including brass and percussion and lovely strings.

What was enjoyable about this live performance was that the group pretty much just sang one song after another.  There was very little wasted time spent on talking or explaining which allotted more time for Paul's music to be performed.

Just a few songs that the group did were:

                                                     Yesterday
                                                     My Love
                                                     Live and Let Die
                                                     Jet
                                                     Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
                                                     Eleanor Rigby
                                                     Let It Be
                                                     When I'm Sixty-Four 
                                                             (well, he made it as he is 73!)


To close the show, the group did "Hey Jude".  Audience members and Symphony members alike got their mobiles out, lit them up and waved them in the air.

What an enjoyable concert.  If you have the opportunity to see this show and you like Paul's music then don't miss it when it comes your way!
