Paul's concert in Japan was great. I enjoyed it very much. But unfortunately ticket sales through the official site was worst. Many fans could not receive tickets until the day of the concert. Even if tickets were received, it was just before the concert . Crowdsurge is bulls**t. Their work was too slow, and it was negligence and bad faith. When we made ​​the inquiry to them, what they answered was just a lie. The official site should change to another company, such as ticketmaster.

That has been my experience with Crowdsurge also, not to mention the foreign surcharge because they are based in the UK. I know longer even try to get tickets through Crowdsurge.

The real horns make *everything* better! I agree.

Oh I see, he was trying to quote this thread and ended up posting in it.

thenightfish:

Thank you!! I was able to order them!

I'm glad to hear that. I ordered them as well.

KingMacca:

What happened to the days where you could buy your tickets at the box office/record store IN CASH for HALF THE PRICE of today's "SERVICE" FEES??

I wish you could still buy tickets for that cheap, however, my friend and I bought tickets for Paul at Wrigley Field at the box office before the show and paid cash. It was over $500 cash and we were a little messed up to say the least; stuffing wads of cash through the little slot in the window with a sea of people all around us waiting.

Seriously one of his best shows ever.

simplyrahil:

would be great to hear some of John's stories of such close, longstanding association

Can you imagine having a few drinks with him? Yep...would be great to hear some of his truly "behind the scenes" stories about Paul.

Mexican Beatlemaniac:

Just for the fun of it, yet another one: 1. Venus and Mars/Rock Show 2. Jet 3. Figure of Eight 4. Only Mama Knows 5. Coming Up 6. Lonely Road 7. Highway 8. Driving Rain 9. Fine Line 10. C Moon 11. 1985 12. Wanderlust 13. Dance Tonight 14. Jenny Wren 15. Calico Skies 16. I Owe It All to You 17. Put It There 18. Follow Me 19. Hope of Deliverance 20. Mrs. Vandebilt 21.

Like it very much !! IMO - change "Wanderlust" to "Take It Away" and "Dance Tonight" to "Run Devil Run" and it would be perfect - lol.

It's old hat now but i was there in halifax when the first of the sign me/tattoo people got pulled onstage. I believe her name was audrey but could be mistaken. It was such an unexpected moment and i was amazed he actually signed a person! Like i said, just part of the show now but that first one was really unexpected. And fun for the audience as well as the signee.

Her name is Audrey. She is the original tattoo girl! All the others are copy cats. She was so excited and thrilled. To me, since it was so unexpected for her, her reaction was the most real. The others are happy, but not to the extent Audrey was. She also has never made a big deal about it like so many others have. She just went on to live her life. It's gotten so out of hand now with all the competition with the outlandish signs. Not seeing any shows this year, but I found it boring at the shows I have attended since it has become part of the routine. It was fun when he would have somebody from the audience on stage rarely. No longer fun for me, but I won't be seeing it again in person.

" but I found it boring at the shows I have attended since it has become part of the routine." Exactly. It is neat when it is random and spur of the moment but when it is routine it gets old real fast.

I'd be much more keen on it if it was the occasional tattoo and more posters and moments like Get Back in Argentina with the girl on bass. That was cool. He should do more of those. I remember when I saw CHeap Trick a few years ago (what is it with all the Macca/Cheap Trick comparisons?), and they let some teen/tween girls up on stage to sing the "mommy's alright" parts in Surrender. Paul should do more stuff like that. Even if that was routine I wouldn't mind it.

Paul did a great version of Hitchhike in Detroit,2011

You'd have to shout "We're out!" The field they frolic around in was filmed in Gatwick, about 2 miles from where I live. "Sorry for hurting your field, mister". I'm glad you love coming to the UK every year, haven't been to a panto in years and don't really intend to, tbh. Yes it was cool to see macca at hammersmith, also where the BEatles played a few times. I know that one lady who comes on this board went, and she saw them there back in'64 as well when she was a little girl I beleive. Must have been a trip to go back in 2010. Here's hoping for 2013 sometime!

The Barakan interview:

Interesting comments about the setlist. He hates setlist spoilers. Well, there's one easy way to keep the surprise-factor high, haha.

well of course. for every concert a setlist mix is the answer. And we are happy

funny, I just logged on and see this at the top & was like waaaa again? LOLS

Good point!

Susan Hickman:

For us in the UK I would call it :- ABOUT BLOODY TIME ! ( Sorry Paul but its true )

To be fair , 2010 is a lot more recent than his last trip to Australia or New Zealand...

2011 is more recent...I saw him at Manchester and Liverpool...

BOYCIE:

I would be great to have a Unplugged sequel with the current band,but a proper tour to go with it would be great too.My set list would be as follows: 1.YOUNG BOY 2.FRIENDS TO GO 3.LITTLE WILLOW 4.I WILL 5.DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN 6.BLUEBIRD 7.TEDDY BOY 8.THINGS WE SAID TODAY 9.YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY 10.ALL THINGS MUST PASS 11.(MARIE'S THE NAME)HIS LATEST FLAME 12.TWO OF US 13.SOME PEOPLE NEVER KNOW 14.RAM ON 15.HOPE OF DELIVERANCE 16.MULL OF KNITYRE

Good list. I would add Calico Skies.

MaccaBeatles:

Don't forget Silly Love Songs! I unshamefully love that song and bassline! Also some of the songs from the Beatles years, Rain anyone? Paul is an amazing bass player either way think of how many people he's inspired to play bass since 1963 for example.

Band On The Run has great bass parts too.
