RIGHT and PROPER Ricken weights just a little bit more than Hoffner

I was at this Miami show and the crowd was weak man. They barely made much noise.

I wish Paul would bring the Rickenbacker for his Wings songs. The Hofner is cool and all but it's missing the boom that the Rickenbacker had for the Wings songs.

One of Paul's most underrated compositions. This has such a '70s feel, but it also doesn't sound dated, which is some feat.

Russell Duncan

He never plays the Rick in concert anymore, too heavy to carry around for 3 hours. Wish he would bring it out for a couple of songs, though.

No, and I agree with others have said here - the Wings tracks need the Rick. I mentioned this somewhere else on YouTube, but I think the Hofner is a little bit nostalgia and a lotta bit practicality. It's lighter, it's a shorter scale, it's just easier to play...and when you're pushing 71 you can't have that anvil weight around your neck and perform for 3 hours a night. I've played both...and it makes a huge difference.

Good to hear from you - you know, I think it's time I watched the Wings "Rockshow" video/DVD again....

Kieran Shaw

Encountered you here, pal. ;)

'Bout time I heard Paul play this song live.

the Rickenbacker bass made a difference....

The Ric bass is better for the old wings tunes. I miss it here. I also miss Joe English's drumming but Abe is a fine drummer and Joe will not be returning.

@robkal56 I know that he's played the Rick on a few songs on his last couple of albums.

@irvan36mm I've never stood up against his amp, but I agree. The Rick is associated, sound and visuals, with this song. But I assume he does it to mix things up. It seems so many of the utube vids show the Hoffner, does he play the Rick that much lately?

irvan36mm

Gotta have the Rick for this song!! The bass line really made this song & you really can't hear it w/ the Hofner..unless you are standing up against his amp.

Dave Berry

Probably my favourite Macca song ever...!!

@ZenDriveSeven WELL SAID!!!!

@SouthCoastMass He has to play that song with a Rickenbacker bass!

ZenDriveSeven

@CobraJetCat I agree. I love the dry "thud" tone of the Ric for this tune. For most Wings songs now that I think of it. My set list additions would be Magneto & Titanium Man and Medicine Jar for nostalgia sake.

CobraJetCat

Paul needs to ditch the Hofner for the Ric on the wings stuff IMO...Still great to see him doing "Letting Go " again. Now if he will only add "Monkberry Moon Delight" to the set it would be perfect! :)

Macca1969

I had so much fun at the show but the crowd was a little dull though. What a bummer.
