But surely it must be possible to use today's video technology without having to resort to the "wow, look how famous he is!" shtick. <br /><br />There are a few bootlegs around - I might have to steal it some time. I've spent enough money on him to have no qualms about that.<br /><br />Totally with you on Silly Love Songs. I wish he would play that again. A lot of Paul's basslines are pretty complex even for someone who isn't doing anything else. Yet he manages to do it while singing a melody line that doesn't follow the bassline, and bopping along in a way that makes it look so damn easy that many people don't realise just how much he is doing. Silly Love Songs is one such song. Birthday is another. Try playing that bassline and singing at the same time. It's harder than it looks.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412983524190021368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942719624481214321.post-2563668285745158452009-11-28T14:37:19.146+11:002009-11-28T14:37:19.146+11:00I've seen Rockshow on 1/2 inch and I agree tha...I've seen Rockshow on 1/2 inch and I agree that it doesn't stand up with today's concert videos. It's much better. We see the performers on stage, not the audience. They show songs in their entirety. There are no interviews with random celebrities. And best of all Paul still looks great and can swing that bass around like Thor. He does a little dance while playing that bassline from Silly Love Songs while singing that just reminds you that this man knows what he's doing.<br /><br />I want my Rockshow DVD.
