Paul McCartney!

All I can say is WOW!!! This concert was absoluetely amazing! Paul McCartney is 68 years old but he played for almost three hours straight, no intermissions, no breaks, we didn't even notice him stop to take drinks. Acts today should take note because this was incredible. We really did like our seats and the way they had the stadium set up worked for a concert. I realized, and maybe it's because I am getting older, the idea of being on the ground held little appeal for me, even without the price issue. We were able to see the stage, see the huge screens on the side of the stage, and not have the crowding issues. I believe it was a sold out crowd - this is what the stadium can hold.
This one still makes it a little more noticable.
The man himself! His concert really wasn't anything that I really expected. I was expecting soemthing very mellow I think. He changed guitars - just because he can is what he told us - changed pianos, joked with the crowd. Just was all around fabulous and entertaining.
There were even fireworks in the middle of the song Live and Let Die. It fit so well. I guess when you start your career decades ago, you learn a few tricks on how to keep the people entertained. (The pictures were all taken on my phone so they aren't the very best, but I forgot my camera.)

So, basically what it all boils down to, if you ever have the opportunity, I would totally recommend seeing him in concert. It's well worht the time and the money!
