From what I saw and I looked really close it was live. McCartney was backed
up by the same young musicians he toured with over the last couple of years.
If it wasn't live it was damn convincing. The drums were miked and it
appeared as though Wix (Pauls' keyman for a long while) was playing the
string parts on a 76-note Motif not sure if it was as a controller or
actually playing the sounds. Wix used this same setup for a while with
McCartney. A Kurzweil PC2 88-Note Piano/Controller and a Yamaha 76-note
Motif on the top. I also remember seeing him use a Voce V5 with the above
during a concert for the Queen of England. Can't comment on his rack, I know
several years ago he was using Roland S-series samplers with a huge PC
monitor. I imagine there were some samplers/PC/Mac's involved.

I'll rate it as the 2nd best show. U2 back in 2002 was my favorite.

I have a friend who is professional keyboardist and played with Leeann
Rhymes

during a halftime show at Texas Stadium and while the vocals were live, the
band was

not. He said they hired professional (local) musicians so their
performance would

look real. I'm not saying McCartney was a taped sing-along since they had
more

more time at halftime and more money then normal, but it happens more often
than

we think it may.
