Never rated Paul as a singer. Saw The Beatles live in the early sixties and it put me right off money making "large" venues for live music. Give me a folk club any day. Or just Ellie?

"Obviously we can't keep playing the same sort of music until we're about 40, old men playing From Me To You, nobody's going to want that sort of thing" - Paul McCartney, 1963

Glastonbury was pretty meh for me this year to be honest, at least it was until the Pet Shop Boys!
What a great set, it was just the happiest gig I’d seen and they just belted out the biggest hits, none of that “This is from our latest album” crap!
Pet Shop Boys were brilliant, they always have the best lighting, great background graphics and of course bonkers costumes.
Hit after hit, thats the way to do it. Good to see 2 live drummers and percussionists on stage really added to the sound, giving it a more organic latin dance feel.
Just watched it on catch up, amazing at 80. Real all time legend!

Something I just read about today, Paul McCartney's mother Mary died of cancer when he was 14, and he wrote "Let It Be" a decade or more later after he had a dream about her.
He was depressed and having a difficult time, and in the dream his mother appeared and told him, "It’s all right, just let it be."
Maybe this is apocryphal or already widely known, but it adds to my appreciation of Paul McCartney and the Beatles.
He performed "Let It Be" at Glastonbury, right? I will have to try to find a recording.
