Live and Let Die: The Music of Paul McCartney In Concert
When Tony Kishman appears as the focal point of Live and Let Die: The Music of Paul McCartney, a kind of musical alchemy occurs. Somehow, a guy from Tucson, Arizona (also the home of Jojo in The Beatles' "Get Back," coincidentally) transforms into one of the men who put Liverpool on the musical map in the 1960s.
As impressive a feat as it is, it didn't happen overnight. In fact, Kishman's history of becoming McCartney goes all the way back to 1979, when he took the McCartney role in Beatlemania at the peak of that show's popularity, performing both on Broadway and around the world with the production for six years. Along the way, he also recorded as a solo artist for RCA Records and worked with legendary British rock band Wishbone Ash. However, eventually the pull of McCartney's music proved impossible for Kishman to resist.
When Kishman leads Live and Let Die, he allows audiences to focus on what he's best at in the Beatles experience: Paul alone. Accompanied by a crack band (and in another version of the show, backed by a full symphony orchestra), Kishman tackles Beatles-era McCartney classics like "Hey Jude," "Let It Be," and "Penny Lane" and solo McCartney smashes like "Jet," "Maybe I'm Amazed," and "Live and Let Die."
All over North America, Live and Let Die: The Music of Paul McCartney has taken the magic of these iconic tunes to die-hard Beatlemaniacs and newbies alike. The fact that Kishman looks like McCartney makes the whole thing more remarkable. And when you consider that he's earned praise for his performance not only from Beatles producer George Martin, but from McCartney himself, it's tough to imagine anybody more qualified to bring these songs to the stage.

by steve oh on 2/18/20Penn's Peak - Jim ThorpePretty darn good, actually a better set list than Sir Paul's when he tours. Got to hear Uncle Albert live for the first time, a great fun recreation. For the folks who will never get to see Sir Paul this is the next best thing, worth every penny.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Best McCartney Tribute Ever
by Cyberblaze on 11/8/17Orleans Showroom - Las VegasI've seen Beatle tributes over the many years and while they are all enjoyable, one of the usual weakpoints in those tributes is whomever is playing the Paul role. Big shoes to fill. Not so with Tony Kishman in this tribute. His vocals are almost spot-on, meaning the range is really impressive and the timber of his voice is a very close match to one of Paul's vocal varieties. And his instrumental musicianship is everything you could want from McCartney's music. Tony is impressive on all instruments and lacks nothing. And best of all, you don't have to close your eyes to imagine you're actually hearing Paul, because he looks very much like him. Quite an immersion and what a rockin' show! Maybe I'm amazed...
