Thanks for the correction nightfish-I did get them mixed up! ops: As far as getting front row center tix-Boston is the first time I have ever seen them pop up-it's always front row side sections. I grabbed seat 1-and other seats in the center section popped up as well-I remember seeing seats 4 and 5 come up. No one ever sits in their front row seats-we all move right up to the rail..the seats are just to hold our stuff... maccascruff-St Louis SC was the worst one I have been to-most of the people were quite boring and not really into it.....Unbelievable!

How would one get front row center tickets then, if they are not sold on any package? Not that I have the money to pay for any VIP tix, I'm just curious. Thanks!

One of Paul’s people goes up to the nosebleed area and selects attractive young people and brings them down to first row center. Those seats are never available for sale. ☹️

I wasn't aware of that. It's a gorgeous song. I suppose that it's not totally inconceivable for Paul to do that. When Michael Jackson died, Paul posted the music video for "All My Trials" at pm.com.

I want to vent about people complaining that McCartney is not playing their city, even though he played there two years ago and many times before. How about playing cities he has NEVER played before???

I think complaining might be a little strong. Wishfully hoping might be a better way to look at it...especially if, for good reasons, you couldn't see him last time he did make it there. It's all in good fun...can't help wishing we could all travel to all of the places he plays. We've loved him for quite a long time

Fair enough. But McCartney has NEVER played Albuquerque. So, when someone really wants Paul to play their city even though he played there in 2002, 2005 and 2010, or played there in 2010 and played there again this year, it is different. But I get it, if you missed him the last three times he played in your town. I guess.

I can't believe this show was over 3 months ago! Now with "New" released and tons of TV appearances since, I am starting to go stir crazy for another show to go to! It probably won't be for another year at least till I even get a chance...

I was thinking the same thing, especially when I consider he had all these great New songs baked and ready to serve. Would have loved for him to have done either Queenie Eye or Everybody Out There. It sounds like a virtual certainty that he will tour here in 2014, so hang on.

audi:

You guys MUST watch this! The most amazing stage I've ever seen. Imagine if Paul did this! Everyone in the audience would have the best seat in the house before the end of the show: Justin Timberlake and his moving stage:

That would be very cool! Kinda like Pink getting shot out into the audience by her rubber band & landing on 'perches' through out the audience.

Saw Pink on her last tour and you're right it was great fun seeing her going round the room makes you wonder how far this tech can go before it starts interfering with the music,ok on some artists music is very secondary but not for decent artists.

I would have loved to have seen that. When everyone 1st started talking about something NEW for Paul...I thought he might do that. Would that be cool or what? LOL!

Amazing show in a great venue. Acoustics were phenomenal. Soundcheck was superb with a warm welcome from the Texas crowd. Wish I could've stayed for the second show! And NO WAY did I leave my spot for soundcheck!

I received this by e-mail an hour ago, but since I don't live in the US....

pood for paul:

Yes, meeting Paul is more luck and timing than anything else BUT an optimistic outlook sure can't hurt... I followed him all over and when I did meet him-it was in Detroit!!! (my own backyard so to speak-which made it even better!) Keep on dreaming BluBugBlu! Ya never know what will happen.

Thanks! Maybe I'll get to with a little help... with a little luck... ???

Was "this" close to buying tix for the 2013 Fenway show...luckily Washington DC was announced like two days later though! Still, Boston woulda been fun.

Being that I'm also a former Fairfax County resident (graduated from Lake Braddock HS in Burke and my dad now lives a couple of hours south down in VA Beach), I was actually in a similar position, but with the shoe on the other foot The trick was that I had already scheduled a trip to FL the very next morning after the Paul concert, and we had to leave very early in the AM...so I considered other NE venues, both well before and well after my scheduled vacation...but ultimately stuck with the local venue and dealt with the serious red eye the next day (I could catch up on my sleep the next night anyway...LOL)

Lack of sleep is a small price to pay for McCartney live....no matter the venue! I for one didn't get much sleep that night anyway...layed awake reliving the whole night over and over....

21st Century Paul:

I read somewhere, in a keyboard board, I think, that he uses 2 kind of keyboards. One is just the same Wix uses, Yamaha Motif 7. That is some keyboard with weight added to the keys, so it's got a similar feel that playing a piano. I think that's the one Paul uses for piano songs he does on keyboards, like Hey Jude. Then I remember Paul uses to play live a different keyboard too, some with normal keys, not weighted. The info I read was from the Back in the US tour. Wix plays a Motif 7 and the one above is a ... Korg I think or so... I guess that's the not weighted one Paul plays on the Fool On The Hill, For No One, Carry That Weight, etc part. For Let It Be, Hey Jude and Lady Madonna I think he plays a weighted one, the Motif 7. I don't know what kind of setting. I'm not sure about all this but I think there must be some video with some cam filming Paul from the back while playing keyboards so you can see the exact model he plays.

I think Glastonbury Hey Jude offers a fair glimpse at what's inside the 'magic piano' box (although I'm not well versed enough to know what I'm looking at...first time at around 1:38 or 1:39 of the video below and then several times after):

The earlier 'magic piano' (circa 1989/90 and 93) is a real piano I think)...if you move forward in the video below to 'The Long and Winding Road' and/or 'Maybe I'm Amazed', I think you can see what I mean:

One thing is for sure, Paul is not playing the same keyboard since the 60s as he does with the bass and some guitars.

James will be here (near Atlanta) on the 31st, but I didn't get tickets. Doubt if dad will show up for that gig though! (if he does I will commit hari-kari!)

Hi, If you have any issues with the pre-sale please let us know in this thread. Thanks!

I have an issue. The site only sells to Brazilian customers, which is discriminatory. If fans from countries where Paul doesn't make the effort to travel far away to see him, why not let them buy tickets as well?

I think, there are problems with other places in Brazil, just Belo Horizonte is completely sold
