Paul McCartney se presentará por quinta vez en México. El cantante presenta One on One Tour, una gira con una amplia producción que incluye algunos de sus temas más memorables, así como algunas canciones que en sus 28 años de carrera no ha incluido en concierto.

Este show es un recorrido por su música, desde sus temas con The Beatles y Wings hasta su carrera como solista, la cual comenzó con gran éxito en 1970. La gira comenzó tan solo seis meses después de concluir con su Out There Tour, que presentó más de 80 conciertos alrededor del mundo.



SU LEGADO

La importancia de este espectáculo, más allá de escuchar los éxitos de esta leyenda del rock, es dar un vistazo a la carrera de uno de los miembros de The Beatles, considerada como la banda que dio pie al inicio del pop y consigo de la música contemporánea.

La importancia de Paul dentro de los Beatles es por demás conocida. Al ser coescritor de temas como “Yesterday”, “Hey Jude” y “Let It Be”, por mencionar solo algunos, McCartney ha dejado junto a John Lennon, Ringo Starr y George Harrison, un gran legado musical que sigue vigente hasta nuestros días.

DESPUÉS DE LOS BEATLES

Tras concluir su relación con The Beatles, Paul siguió su carrera junto a Linda McCartney, su esposa en ese momento. Ambos formaban parte de Wings, agrupación de rock que contó con Denny Laine y Denny Seiwell como parte de la alineación original.

Wings lanzó siete discos, de los cuales cuatro de ellos alcanzaron el número uno en la lista de Billboard. En el Reino Unido alcanzaron la máxima posición dos de sus álbumes, mientras el resto de ellos se ubicó en el top ten de los más vendidos en su época.

Su tema más emblemático es “Live and Let Die”, canción que formó parte de la banda sonora de la cinta homónima del Agente 007. La canción fue reversionada por Guns N’ Roses en 1991. Wings se disolvió en 1981, tras haber grabado Back to the Egg, el último material de la agrupación.



EN SOLITARIO

Paul McCartney comenzó su carrera como solista desde 1970, con el lanzamiento de su disco McCartney, donde incluía 14 temas escritos y producidos por él mismo. El material debutó en el número uno de Billboard y se mantuvo en la lista durante 49 semanas.

Tras la ruptura con Wings, el músico lanzó McCartney II en 1980, mismo que alcanzó la máxima posición en el Reino Unido. Desde entonces el músico ha lanzado nuevo material en un periodo no mayor a cuatro años. Su más reciente disco, New, fue presentado en octubre de 2013, y contó con la participación de productores como Mark Ronson (Bruno Mars) y Paul Epworth (Adele).



SUS NÚMERO UNO

McCartney y Tug of War son los materiales que han alcanzado el número de Billboard. Mientras otras seis producciones se han colocado en el top ten de esta lista. En el Reino Unido, Paul McCartney ha colocado cinco materiales en lo alto de los charts de música, mientras que otras ocho producciones han entrado al top diez.



SIR PAUL AL SALÓN DE LA FAMA

Son muchos los premios que Paul McCartney ha recibido a lo largo de su carrera, entre ellos 18 Premios Grammy y un Oscar, el cual ganó con The Beatles por la música de la cinta Let It Be. Sin embargo hay tres reconocimientos que podrían ser destacados:

Su doble ingreso al Salón de la fama del Rock and Roll. El primero en 1988 como parte de los Beatles, y el segundo en 1999 como solista.

Su nombramiento como Sir, que le otorgó la reina Isabel II en 1996.

En 2012 el cantante fue condecorado con la Legión de Honor por el Presidente de Francia Francois Hollande, gracias a sus contribuciones a la música.



SU RELACION CON MÉXICO

Esta será la quinta ocasión en que el músico se presentará en nuestro país. La primera vez que dio un concierto en tierras aztecas fue en 1993, con su gira The New World Tour. Ofreció dos shows en el entonces Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez el 25 y 27 de noviembre, tan solo unos días después de haber sido inaugurado con un concierto de Madonna.

El cantante regresó en 2002 con su gira Driving Tour, con tres presentaciones en el Palacio de los Deportes. Ocho años después regresó con el Up and Coming Tour, ofreciendo dos conciertos en el Foro Sol.

En 2012 el cantante se presentó por cuarta ocasión en nuestro país; lo hizo con la gira On the Run Tour. Esta vez tuvo un show en Guadalajara, otro en el Estadio Azteca y uno más en el Zócalo Capitalino de la CDMX, en donde logró congregar a 250 mil seguidores.

El concierto que dará este sábado 28 de octubre en el Estadio Azteca será el número once que realice en México. Forma parte de su gira One on One Tour.

Algunos fanáticos del cantante británico Paul McCartney se encuentran afuera de un complejo hotelero en Paseo de la Reforma con la esperanza de ver a su ídolo, quien cantará este sábado en el Estadio Azteca.

Varios de los admiradores llegaron a temprana hora con el objetivo de ver llegar al ex Beatle, quien se hospedará en este lugar. Aunque todavía no tienen la suerte de verlo, muchos jóvenes permanecen en la calle, detrás de una valla metálica para esperar al músico, quien ya ha cantado en el Zócalo de la Ciudad de México.

Unos cuantos traen consigo algunos discos y fotografías que quieren sean autografiadas, otras personas que caminan por la calle se mantienen con la curiosidad de lo que sucede.

El espectáculo que McCartney ofrecerá mañana empezará a las 21:00 horas y será parte de su gira “One On One Tour”, que comenzó en Estados Unidos el año pasado.

Con esta gira ha realizado 41 presentaciones en 12 países para más de 1.2 millones de personas; esta nueva visita de Paul al territorio mexicano es su regreso después de cinco años.

En aquella visita tocó en la explanada de la Plaza de la Constitución ante más de 200 mil fans, y desde su primera visita en 1993, ha hecho sonar su música 10 veces en este país.

Unseen John Lennon images revealed at The Beatles Story

Unseen John Lennon images revealed at The Beatles Story
BBC News
26 October 2017


The negatives date from around the time Lennon released his third single, Instant Karma

A set of unseen images of John Lennon, which were in a "junk drawer" for over 30 years because they were thought to have no value, have been unveiled.

The 26 negatives, dating from 1970, were brought to a valuation day at Liverpool's The Beatles Story museum.
Their owner said his late father may have come by them while studying art in the 1970s.
The "intimate portraits" were "a rare find" and could be worth £10,000, auctioneer Darren Julien said.
He added that it was "not often when you find images of John Lennon that have never before been seen by the public".
The museum's marketing manager Diane Glover said their owner, who wanted to remain anonymous, had found them among his late father's possessions.
He told museum staff they had been put in the drawer for at least 34 years, because they were thought to have no value.

They resemble those taken at the BBC in February 1970, when Lennon was on Top of the Pops

The negatives, which date from February 1970, capture Lennon at a pivotal point in his career - The Beatles were breaking up and he had recently released his third single, Instant Karma.
It became the first solo single by a member of the iconic rock band to sell more than a million copies in America.
Ms Glover said the negatives and images taken from them would be on display at the attraction from November, before being auctioned in 2018.
She added that the valuation day had also uncovered a signed Beatles Christmas Show programme from a concert in Bradford in 1963, which was valued at £8,000, and a signed John Lennon postcard, which was estimated to be worth £5,000.

A set of unseen John Lennon images have been unveiled at The Beatles Story museum in Liverpool.

The 26 negatives, dating back to 1970 which you can view below, were revealed at a memorabilia day yesterday (October 25).

Darren Julien, President/CEO of Julien’s Auctions estimated that the collection could sell for over £10,000 at auction.

He said: “It’s not often when you find images of John Lennon that have never before been seen by the public. These 26 images/negatives of John Lennon are a rare find.”

The owner of the negatives, who wishes to remain anonymous, told experts that the collection had been stored away in the family’s junk draw for around 34 years, and were presumed to have no value.

The negatives capture Lennon at a pivotal point in his career, The Beatles were breaking up and he had recently released his third single, ‘Instant Karma’.

It became the first solo single by a member of the band to sell more than a million copies in America.

The negatives will go on display at the museum next month before being auctioned off in 2018.

A signed Beatles Christmas Show programme from a concert in Bradford in 1963, which was valued at £8,000, and a signed John Lennon postcard, which was estimated to be worth £5,000, were also unveiled at the Liverpool event.

Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher recently paid homage to the late Beatle on what would have been his 77th birthday.

To mark the occasion, Gallagher – who named one of his kids after the late icon – took to Twitter to write, “Happy birthday Dr Winston O’boogie”, referring to a pseudonym that Lennon used to appear on other artists’ records under.

Gallagher revealed that he would celebrate Lennon’s birthday by going out for a Mexican and “raising a glass to the man himself”.

Paul on Fats Domino

"Rest in peace Fats Domino, the great rock ’n’ roll pianist and singer who thrilled us in our early days in Liverpool. His hit records like ‘Ain’t That A Shame’, ‘Blueberry Hill’, ‘I’m In Love Again’ and many others introduced us to the sounds of New Orleans rock ‘n’ roll. We were excited to meet Fats once in his home town of New Orleans. He was wearing a huge star spangled diamond encrusted watch which was our first encounter with bling! His voice, piano playing and musical style was a huge influence on us and his appearance in the film ‘The Girl Can’t Help It’ was truly magnificent. As one of my favourite rock ‘n’ roll singers, I will remember him fondly and always think of him with that twinkle in his eye. I read that he had eight children. He himself was named Antoine. His kids were named Antoine III, Anatole, Andre, Antonio, Antoinette, Andrea, Anola and Adonica. Now that is pure Fats!" - Paul

The man behind the music: How Brian Epstein made the Sixties swing by discovering the best of Mersyside from the Beatles to Gerry and the Pacemakers
By Ray Connolly For The Daily Mail
PUBLISHED: 20 October 2017

There never was a time like it for these boys. Just look at the joy in their smiles. So young and fresh-faced in their inexpensive suits and ties, sensible, unshowy haircuts and polished black shoes.
At a glance you might think they are a works football squad, celebrating, along with their young coach from accounts, a lucky away win in an amateur cup first round with a 'jump for joy' photo-shoot.
But look more closely and those four young men on the left may seem rather familiar. As well they might, because they are John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney.
What they are celebrating — along with their friends Gerry and the Pacemakers and Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas — isn't goals, but No. 1 records in the pop charts.


 1 John Lennon 2 Ringo Starr 3 George Harrison 4 Paul McCartney 5 Gerry Marsden 6 Freddie Marsden 7 John 'Les' Chadwick 8 Les Maguire 9 Robin MacDonald 10 Mike Maxfield 11 Billy J. Kramer 12 Ray Jones 13 Tony Mansfield 14 Brian Epstein

As for the fellow on the far right, watching over them like the proud tactician he was, it's the man who made it all possible, manager Brian Epstein. He was just 28, but, in the eyes of his youthful proteges, practically middle-aged.
It was the summer of 1963 and a cultural earthquake was resetting the foundations of British popular music. And from being a place usually more associated with breeding comedians, the city of Liverpool had overnight become the capital of pop.
The Beatles had started it with No.1 hits From Me To You and She Loves You, but then right behind them came Gerry and the Pacemakers' How Do You Do It? and I Like It — followed by Billy J Kramer's Do You Want To Know A Secret? and Bad To Me.

Suddenly, it was cool to have a Scouse accent — whether or not you could sing.
Six months earlier, when these 13 young men were still following each other on stage at the tiny Cavern Club in Liverpool, to have imagined that such success could happen would have seemed lunatic.
The previous year, Brian Epstein had virtually to beg to get a record deal for The Beatles. And it was only when The Beatles defied London's showbiz sneers and took off that he began to realise, and also to sign up, the depth of untapped talent on Merseyside — which came to be known as the Mersey Sound.
Something was happening right across the country in those early Sixties days. Not only in music and not only in Liverpool.


Brian Samuel Epstein (19 September 1934 - 27 August 1967), was an English music entrepreneur, best known for being the manager of The Beatles

Schools, universities and art colleges were turning out ambitious young people from working class and lower middle-class homes, whose backgrounds had not been privileged, but who, energised by education, were reaching out to grab the future and shape it in their own peculiarly British way.
It could be felt in the arts, business and fashion at a time when suddenly everything seemed possible, and when the world appeared to be growing younger.
Take another look at the photograph of these young men: they aren't knowing, cynical City-slickers or super-fashionable posing dandies. Dressed in their stage suits, possibly for some of them the only suits they possessed, so sudden had been their ascendance to stardom, their expression carries the glow of surprised excitement.
Epstein liked his groups to look respectable, but before long that image would be replaced by fancy dress, kaftans, beads and bells, before glitter and platform shoes became the rage, along with perms and hair dyes, then make-up — and glam and punk led to the Mohicans as pop became about how you looked as much as what you sang.
Then there would be the custom-made torn jeans and T-shirts, the bandanas, tattoos and eyebrow, nose and ear-rings, and the sheer fashionable phoniness of it all.

But, back then, consider Paul McCartney, only just turned 21, laughing as his pal Gerry Marsden grabs hold of him in mid-air.
How innocent they all look: how unaffected, how grateful to be alive and part of this extraordinary revolution of youth. Time, however, moves relentlessly on. For some in the photograph, fame would turn into a prison; for others, it would become a fleeting memory as the hits dried up.
And, for Brian Epstein it would be a death sentence. Just four years later he would die from a drugs overdose.
But right there on that summer's day in Liverpool in 1963, there was confidence, camaraderie and the well-scrubbed optimism of youth. Those really were the days.

What happened to them?
1 John Lennon, murdered in Manhattan, New York, aged 40, December 1980.
2 Ringo Starr, 77, has just played Las Vegas after releasing his latest album, Give More Love, last month.
3 George Harrison, died aged 58 from lung cancer in Beverly Hills, California, in November 2001.
4 Paul McCartney, 75, played Brazil last night during his current world tour.
5 Gerry Marsden, 75, lead singer/guitarist with Gerry and the Pacemakers, is currently on a farewell UK tour.
He had No. 1 hits (all 1963) with How Do You Do It?, I Like It and You'll Never Walk Alone. Ferry Cross The Mersey reached No. 8 in 1964.
Marsden made a brief return to No.1 in 1985 with a superstar recording of You'll Never Walk Alone to benefit victims of the Bradford City stadium fire. The Pacemakers disbanded in 1966 but reformed in 1974 with a new line-up.
He was awarded the MBE in 2003 (the same year he underwent a triple heart by-pass), and has since been given the Freedom of the City of Liverpool. Describes Lennon as his 'best pal' and regretted they never wrote together.
Marsden is a lifelong fan of Liverpool Football Club and You'll Never Walk Alone has been sung at almost every home game since being adopted by the Kop in 1963. He performed it at Wembley at the 1989 FA Cup final in honour of fans who had died at Hillsborough the previous month.
He has been married to wife Pauline for 27 years and has two daughters and a grandson. Lives on The Wirral in Merseyside.
6 Freddie Marsden, died aged 66 in 2006 in Southport, Lancashire. He was the brother of Gerry Marsden and played drums for Gerry and the Pacemakers.
He was touted as a possible replacement for the Fab Four's first drummer, Pete Best, who was sacked in 1962, but Freddie countered: 'That's rubbish. Look at my high forehead. I could never have had a Beatle haircut for a start.'
After the group broke up, he became a telephone operator on £14 a week, then joined the Civil Service. He later opened a driving school (called Pacemakers). Once asked if he still had his drums, he said: 'No, I got rid of them. They took up too much space in the garage.' He was married to Margaret, with a son and daughter.
7 John 'Les' Chadwick, 74, Pacemakers' bassist. He stayed with the group until their break-up in 1966, then set up a garage business with fellow Pacemaker Les Maguire and moved to Australia, where he opened an employment agency in Sydney.
8 Les Maguire, 75, Pacemakers' keyboard player. After the group broke up, he briefly fronted the Mississippi blues band, Hog Owl in 1970, and teamed up with the Pacemakers for occasional reunion performances. He lives in Formby, Merseyside.
9 Robin MacDonald, died in 2015, aged 72. He was founder, guitarist and bassist of Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. Originally from Manchester, the band began as The Dakotas before becoming Liverpudlian singer Billy J. Kramer's backing band, at manager Brian Epstein's request.
Hits with Billy J. Kramer include Do You Want To Know A Secret, Bad To Me, I'll Keep You Satisfied and From A Window — all penned by Lennon and McCartney.
The band broke up in 1967 but reformed 20 years later. When the original Dakotas split, MacDonald joined Engelbert Humperdinck's backing band and supported Frank Sinatra. Although no longer involved in music, his daughter Sarah Mac is a singer/songwriter.
10 Mike Maxfield, 73, songwriter/guitarist with Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. He left the band in 1965 but rejoined 20 years later. Despite suffering a stroke in 2004, Maxfield worked on TV shows in America, where he still lives.
11 Billy J. Kramer (William Ashton), 74, lead singer of Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. Still making music and performing across the world. In 2013 he released the CD I Won The Fight. He says: 'I'm not planning on retiring.' He lives with his second wife in America.
12 Ray Jones, bassist with Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, died in 2000, aged 60, of a heart attack. He left the band after a row over money with Epstein. He joined other bands before quitting music to work as a psychiatric nurse and then as a computer instructor for the handicapped.
13 Tony Mansfield (Anthony Bookbinder), 74, drummer with Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. Brother of singer Elkie Brooks, he left music in 1999 for a career in finance and lives in Manchester.
14 Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. He died of an accidental drugs overdose aged 32 in 1967. After his death, Paul McCartney said: 'If anyone was the fifth Beatle, it was Brian.'

Fats Domino dead: The Beatles song the rock and roll icon inspired Paul McCartney to write

Fats Domino dead: The Beatles song the rock and roll icon inspired Paul McCartney to write
The 1968 track was conceived as a response to 50s hit 'Blue Monday'
Jacob Stolworthy
October 25 2017




Legendary musician Fats Domino has died aged 89 leaving behind a career which saw the icon pioneer rock and roll and inspire countless artists, including Elvis Presley and The Beatles.



One Beatles member to be particularly influenced by the New Orleans singer was Paul McCartney who went so far as to pen the song “Lady Madonna” in direct response to Domino's earlier hit “Blue Monday.”

In a 1994 interview, McCartney recounted his experience of writing the track, saying: “Lady Madonna” was me sitting down at the piano trying to write a bluesy boogie-woogie thing.

"It reminded me of Fats Domino for some reason, so I started singing a Fats Domino impression. It took my other voice to a very odd place.”

While Fats Domino's 1956 track “Blue Monday” charts the feelings of a hard working male across each day of the week, “Lady Madonna” - which was released as a single in March 1968 - tells the same story but through the eyes of a woman.

Fats Domino was such a fan he covered the song himself later that year which you can listen to below.

Fats Domino - whose most famous songs include "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame" - began his music career in 1949, teaming up with trumpet player and bandleader Dave Bartholomew, who produced and co-wrote Domino's first record “The Fat Man” that same year.

It was the first rock and roll record to sell over a million copies and achieved a No.2 ranking on the R&B charts.

He was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1986 and later inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - one of the first artists to achieve the honour - by Billy Joel.

Spicy Refried Bean Tacos With Mexican Corn Bread
by Sir Paul McCartney
Serves 4-6
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 55 min
Ready time: 1 hour, 5 min
Ingredients for the tacos

1 tin (230 g) refried beans
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 teaspoons hot chilli sauce, or to taste
4 taco shells, warmed as per instructions on pack
Cheddar cheese, grated (optional)



For the garnish

avocado, sliced
sour cream
lettuce, shredded
a squeeze of lime or lemon juice
For the corn bread

1 free-range egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 tablespoons fresh hot chilli pepper, chopped
1 can (230 g) sweetcorn, drained, or 2-3 fresh ears of corn, kernels cut off
110 g crème fraiche or sour cream
230 g yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
460 g grated cheese
Method
To make the Spicy Refried Bean Tacos:
In a large frying pan gently fry the onions in 2 tablespoons olive oil for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the refried beans. Add the chopped tomato and fry till heated through. Season to taste with chilli sauce and a little salt if desired. Half-fill the warm taco shells with the mixture and top with shredded cheese and shredded lettuce (you can put the lettuce at the bottom of the shell if you prefer). Garnish with a slice or two of avocado and sour cream.

To make the the Mexican Corn Bread:
Beat the egg with the oil until blended. Add the chilli pepper. Stir in the corn, crème fraiche, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and all but 110 g of the cheese. Pour into a 20 cm square pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake in a preheated 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 oven for 40 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan, than un-mold and serve warm. If not serving immediately, reheat slices in the microwave for 30 seconds (this will retain the bread’s tender crumb and moistness).

Additional notes
To strip corn kernels off the cob: Remove the outer leaves or husks and all silk from the corn. Holding the corn cob upright with the flat end firmly on a board, run a sharp knife down the length between the kernels and the cob to strip the kernels away.
