![]() I would never have heard of any of the band members, including Wix, if they had not played with Paul. I wouldn't pay anything to see the others. It's not a knock on them, but Paul is the draw for me. He also has the sentimental value for Paul of having been in the Lumpy Trousers band with Paul and Linda.īrian is certainly out there working on his own music and doing shows. I am guessing Wix would get more because he does have the title of musical director, along with being with Paul the longest. Seems like Paul hits one or two new places each tour, but tours are not what they used to be either. Paul McCartney has undoubtedly proved his writing skill again and again through his incomparable work as a songwriter. He can easily add a night at the same night if the tix sell out. Paul McCartney of the Beatles has long been known as a songwriter, but with his new book The Lyrics hes taking a stab at a new kind of writing. I'm sure that is why Paul returns to the same major cities, especially if he is playing arenas. Then, if they get some of the gate, which I am not convinced they do, well, then that amount could double. McCartney's band may get $10,000 or $20,000 each per show, MAYBE. But these are not equal band members with McCartney, they are hired guns, it really is not a "band" in the proper sense of the word. I suspect Wix get more, being with Paul for so long. RMartinez:Maybe six figures for the whole band per show. Places like Albuquerque and El Paso can't do that. They are huge and have the economic ability to support such a cost. Which may explain why McCartney plays the same markets. $4 million sounds steep, though I guess if the Stones and such are doing it, Paul is too. ![]() They are needed for the show, just like a guitar player or drummer. The sound person and lighting person make a good bit of change too. I am not being negative or anything, I love all of Paul's bands, but they do not make much more than probably any of the crew. ![]() Maybe six figures for the whole band per show. ![]()
