Last night got to see Paul McCartney in Atlanta. Great show.
One of the special treats was seeing Paul perform"Something" on a Gibson uke given to him by George Harrison. I've heard nicer sounding ukes, but this was cool.

Just the sono was bad this night I think, I've heard him playing this uke on other videos with a much better sound, and, having the exact same uke I can say this uke is one of the best sounding tenor I've heard.

As much as I'm charmed by Paul with the uke, is there anyone who doesn't get chills when the full band kicks in halfway through? What a unique and trademark guitar voice George had.
