If Brian could sing anywhere near as well as Paul can now it would be incredible. Imagine if Brian's 60s voice was essentially in tact, just a bit croaker and with slightly reduced range. Because that's basically the case with Paul. And Paul still has a sweet falsetto, although that's not what he's known for.
If you asked Paul to go back and record Here There and Everywhere or Eleanor Rigby, I'm pretty sure that if he rested his voice and really tried he could do a damn good job.
Ask Brian to re-record stuff from his prime... Well BWPS is your answer. It's fine but sounds very little like the original. I know he has improved since then but it's still a world apart.
Having said that I still love listening to Brian, but he has basically destroyed his voice and learnt to sing all over again.

The setlist itself is one of the best parts; he covers so much ground and balances Beatles, Wings and solo Macca songs perfectly.
Completely disagree! The setlist is very unbalanced. 23 Beatles songs out of 37. 62% of the show from 15% of his career. Only 6 songs from the last 40 years of his career, of which 4 are from his last album.
And that's pretty much the story since Macca started touring again in 1989. He does a Beatles heavy show because he believes that's what people want.

No, it's just a compare and contrast between Paul and Brian. Perhaps an unfair comparison, because Brian's voice has been shot for years. Brian's voice is like sand-blasted jeans with tiny, carefully crafted holes. They wear well and are comfy and some like the distressed denim look. Paul is more like slowly faded jeans.

He's confused, Brian drank "High C" during a concert one time in 2003 and there was this huge mixup over it.

OK, I'm no muso - I used "high C" as a generic term for "the really insanely high bit in the chorus".

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

The mix-up was over "Tang", not "High C"

Thank you for clarifying Andrew, I was doubting my own ears there, even after playing it on the piano! I'd love to hear Brian sing that one like the old days. IMHO possibly the best vocal moment in a Beach Boys song is that "columnated ruins domino" line in the Surf's Up demo.

That sounds eerily similar to a band I listen to called The Beach Boys. Based on the Torrington setlist posted recently, 39 songs total, 27 of the songs from a five year period ('62-66) out of a 50+ year career. It could always be better. I think Mike and Paul are both in the same boat of playing what they think the majority of their audience want to hear.

The difference being that Macca had loads of top ten - even number 1 - hits after 1970; the Beach Boys, only a few.

Brian's setlists aren't usually much better. They need to get back to moar hardcore rarties like "Danny Boy" mother f*cker sick bro

McCartney managed his highly successful WINGS OVER AMERICA tour in 76 with just a handful of Beatle classics. When I saw him in 2002, the distribution (if memory serves) was maybe 60% Beatles 30% Wings 10% new or relatively new. It was a great concert!

I agree, but I'll also point out that in my opinion, Paul sounded horrible on the 'tripping the live fantastic' album. It was like he had forgotten all the technique involved in singing, everything sounded like a really bad broadway play. Sounds great since, though.

That's the difference. In '76, Macca was the leader of a very successful band, their records were getting played on mainstream radio constantly. Today is much different - can you imagine Paul getting away with playing only 5 Beatles songs in a show today, and sticking mostly to songs from his last 3 albums? No way. The crowds aren't coming to hear "New" songs from him, they want to hear the Beatles stuff - it's the closest most of them will ever get to seeing the Beatles in concert.

Plus you've got to remember there was that weird, dark period in human history from the late 70's until the late 80's where the Beatles were kind of out of style.

It'd be great if McCartney could play Beatles songs for 1/3 of his set, Wings songs for 1/3, and his non-Wings Solo songs for the last 1/3.
But that won't happen as the fans (understandably) are mainly interested in the Beatles songs.

I don't know if this is about work on BW solo material or something else - but nevertheless: Brian and some gal called Kacey Musgraves.
