Paul McCartney Rents $7000 Kitchen for Gig

Paul McCartneyVegetarian cooking ain't cheap. As Paul McCartney preps his concert this weekend in Phoenix, Ariz, promoters are shelling out $7,000 for a mobile kitchen that can churn out the same quality food five-star restaurants can.

KTAR in Phoenix reports that McCartney's team has to ensure 100 crew members get fed, which shouldn't be a problem, since the kitchen they're renting can handle 6,000 people. And since you can't to be too careful on the road, McCartney brings his own chefs. He's even looking to get his own mobile kitchen to take on the road sometime in the near future.

McCartney's latest studio album was 2007's 'Memory Almost Full,' although he released a live album last year called 'Good Evening, New York City,' which culled material over his three-night run at New York's Citi Field, a nod to the Beatles' classic 1965 performance at Shea Stadium. After this Phoenix gig, McCartney's 'Up and Coming' Tour includes only a few more stateside shows. From there, he heads back to the homeland, where he'll headline a few shows this June, including London's Hyde Park on June 27.

Sir Paul has a gift that few others have. Beneath the stardom is just a humble, regular guy. Thanks for all the great music. We will see the show in Miami Saturday in section 8. Ringo will be in Clearwater July 13. Good seats still available at Ruth Eckert.

Kayla, again you are one of many here who speak without knowledge or insight of Paul's or the Beatles' history. So you may not make the same mistake again, please note that John Lennon was actually the "richest" of the four as a child...he had a comfortably large home with his aunt in a nice suburb of Liverpool. Paul lived in a government subsidized housing estate. John could not have achieved his dream without someone at his side believing in it as strongly as he did...and that was Paul. And when the pressure of fame took hold, it was John who retreated into his own head and suffered productivity issues; Paul wrote all but a few of the Beatles single A-sides after 1965. His concerts tell the story of how much backbone Paul put in the Beatles. We miss John but it's no reason to diminish Paul.

Each individual 'Beatle' provided their own gift of talent. When they came together they changed the world of music. And, as far as I am concerned there has never been another group that compares with them. Unfortunately we have lost John and George but we still have their music both w/ the group and as solo artists. Paul doesn't have to be a want-to-be, he still is and will always be a Beatle.

For my taste McCartney has only put out a few really good albums after the Beatles. McCartney, Ram and Band on the Run, but he had 9 number one songs and 7 number one albums. He was selling albums on both sides of the Atlantic and has millions of fans. He has sold a lot more records than Harrison, Ringo or Lennon. Whatever was the stated reason for the break up of the Beatles, it was mainly because they were too talented to stay together and needed to follow their own paths. I thought he sounded pretty good playing on the roof in New York on Letterman. So, Cryjef, he doesn't come to play for you. He comes out to play for fans that like him and want to feel that they are a part of history. You sound like you are about twelve, so you are not supposed to get it. When you grow up you may understand that there are other opinions that matter besides yours, or not.
