It varies, but the 3 I've been to (2013, 2014, 2017) started either at 5 or 5:30, then we ate afterwards. All those concerts were scheduled to start at 8, but usually were at least 20 minutes or more late starting. I've never done limo watch, so maybe somebody else could answer what time he usually arrives. I remember at one of those concerts his limo pulled right into the arena by the stage (on our right, stage left) for soundcheck. He must have been running late I think.

Was also in Knoxville. There is definitely stubble LOL.

LetMeRollIt, where the heck were the back gates? Media told everyone to get there early for parking and as a result, there was a huge cluster at all the doors when they opened, and it took ages to get inside. Very disorganized and the heat didn't help.  We were there very early for limo watch and then had a ton of time to waste because Paul arrived before 4:30, which is super-early for him.  If I had known how bad the doors would be, we would have camped out near one so as to be first in.

Knoxville had a great, loud crowd which Paul acknowledged several times. His voice definitely sounds better live.  He did take a drink before the platform solo set, and also took another one right before Live and Let Die.

John - Coming Up gets done in soundcheck sometimes and does sound great with the horn section.  It would be fun if he put it into the set.

And it seems that Women and Wives has disappeared; I thought he was doing it on alternate nights, but during a discussion about it after the show, I checked setlist.fm, and it seems that it has not been performed since Fort Worth. Which is disappointing. I am glad I caught it in Seattle (at a show and a soundcheck).

Will see if I can remember anything else unique to Knoxville... 🙂

Front row "D", Always happy to see you and the crew!!! As usual, another GREAT concert .

Likewise! It was a great show and happy to see you!!!

Regarding Wichita, he flew in, went to the show, and flew back out. He never went to a hotel. I was at the airport both times.

You saw him at the airport coming & going?!

I was really hoping that this would be my opportunity to finally try and meet Paul through a sign at Soundcheck as I truly owe everything to him, but the VIP email I just received made it very clear that will not be happening, and understandably so given the status of things as this pandemic concludes.

SO...I'm trying to think of another way to interact...and was wondering if a sign at soundcheck is even visible from halfway back in a stadium? The song I'd love to hear most is "Every Night" and I know it often gets in the rotation at soundcheck. Think there's any chance of it happening if I had a sign to request it?

Who knows but I would doubt it. I had an alligator sign with a pic of an alligator & everything but it wasn't in his plans apparently. This was in 2017 soundcheck.

Thinking maybe I'll do two sides of the sign, and use the other for during the concert since we'll be in 7th row and he usually takes a moment to mention the signs. I could write a short but sincere message about how much all of my elementary music students love him, passing on the music etc. I wouldn't keep hoisting it in the air though. I hate when people relentlessly flash them around all night...

Sounds like a good idea. You never know what Paul might do! He has excellent far-sight and will be able to see your sign at soundcheck if you are in an arena. Not sure about a stadium though.

Let's hope they know their parts well and play them well ..... J/K .... a good wish and enjoy it all

I just listened to P.S Love Me Do for the first time and I have to say it's really cool. I doubt he would do that type of thing now.

Thank you for sharing.

They are there
