Was that the 2009 show at Piedmont Park?  Must have been as I think that was only time he has done outdoors in Atlanta. By a miracle, I saw weather forecast in hotelbeforehad and they said 10% chance rain.  Despite that, I had a rain poncho and hat.  Many people left when rain started but we stayed.

Yes!! I ended up front row and it was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. 
Got spoiled. I won't pay $300 to see him from the 16th row. And that's what I was pulling up for Winston Salem this morning. So I didn't get any. 😞

Yes, it was a great show and weren't' all the tickets $75.00general admission since it was all festival style generalseating?  No chairs but brought along beach towel but stood for the entire show.

I've seen the Who's sound checks and they're fun, but not engaging. I'd read Sir Paul goes for about an hour, and really interacts with the fans.

The real kicker is - I can only go to Night Two (of a two-night stand). So I presume there will be less sound-checking than on Night One. Is that true? Can anyone speak from experience?

I'm also limiting what I'll spend, so sticker shock may, well, shock me.

Thanks!

I've been lucky enough to have attended nine McCartney soundchecks since 2010. I don't believe any of them was a "second night show", but I can't imagine the soundcheck length being any diffent from the first night. VIP packages that include the soundcheck as you may know are not cheap...in previous tours they ranged from $1500.00 to $2000.00 each...but in my opinion, for any McCartney fan they are definitely worth it! We'll find out tomorrow what the cost is for the new tour.

My wife would kill me or ask if I was crazy if I told her I wanted to spend that amount of money on concert/soundcheck just for me.  To each their own, enjoy !!

While all of the soundchecks I attended were with my younger son, my wife actually attended the last one we went to in California and she really enjoyed it. Over the years it became more apparent that  we don't know what the future will bring us. My life theory is to enjoy it while we can. I'm not saying blow your life savings and struggle to get by, but a "treat" now and then sure makes living fun. Just my 2 cents.

Totally agree. We all have our favorite ways to spend money on things we enjoy. My wife and I are more into saving for travel than splurging on something like tickets for concert/soundcheck.

From what I can tell, the prices will be determined by demand and therefore fluctuate to reflect market forces, much as websites for hotels and airlines change frequently.  It would seem they would have to announce an opening price just as new stock issues have a fixed price when coming into a stock exchange.   Last time I purchased on Ticketmaster was in 2018 for a Paul concert in 2019 that I then couldn't attend due to illness. Please someone with recent experience chime in.

Now the damn code is BANDON when you select only Venue Presale!

And if you have $5000 per ticket to blow, there are 2 seats in Sec. 109 (center) behind the pit at the Hard Rock in Hollywood!

I've listened to some excerpts of Paul talking from about 7 years ago recently . His voice isn't nearly as croaky now as it was then . I think Glasto proved that he is currently in very good form vocally 👍 Personally I'm delighted 😊

Was there, not sure if my brother took any video. I’ll have to check with him. It was a great show, wasn’t it. Supposedly no one is further than 400 ft to the stage at the JOINT! I have some great still photos from that trip.

I was there too. It was a fantastic show, and Paul was in top form! I only have some photos and a few video clips I took on my cell phone. I have not seen a full video of this show, but I do have the complete bootleg of the concert on CD. Same cover as somebody posted. Excellent recording!

The Joint is now called The Theater at Virgin Hotels, after Virgin bought the Hard Rock. And now the Hard Rock Hotels just bought The Mirage on the Strip and they are going to build a new hotel there. It's where The Beatles LOVE theater is, so I wonder what is going to happen with their show?

No word yet. It of course would be a great fit to keep LOVE at the Hard Rock, but I think Cirque may have a contract with MGM, since all of their other Vegas shows are only at MGM casinos. Tne Mirage sale has not actually closed yet, so also no word on when the hotel will close to be remodeled or when LOVE might move or end.

I was also at that Joint concert, it was great but had to spend the whole day queuing for a good spot. 🙂  I have no video or photos to share, sorry.

I was the 2nd person to enter the venue at the Joint and was obviously directly in front of Paul.  It was the best show I've ever experienced and a highlight in my life.  I spoke to Paul and he acknowledged and answered me.  I've never seen or heard it and after snapping over 200 pictures I lost my camera!  😩 I just always wanted a dvd of that show.

Almost September and no dates for anywhere announced.  Possible reason-increasing talk of sky-jhigh energy costs in UK/Europe as a by-product of the Ukraine War.  Financial networks on cable TV discuss energy rationing, evening brown-outs, recession.  Not a positive backdrop and perhaps large events in the evening dependent on electricity will be limited and discouraged.

Perhaps you could go to a type of store that can make an enlarged photo and have it put on poster paper.

Copy a Hi resolution photo.  It’s not like you are going into business making them. It’s a one off for your friend.

It's hard to imagine this won't be released on Bluray ? Massive oppurtunity missed otherwise !

I didn't reply to this because it was being discussed more than a week ago in another thread and I asked this to be merged with it, but it wasn't.

We said that Paul was misquoted. If you listen carefully to the interview, he says "we did have a good night." So, nothing was wrong with the L.A. gig at Dodger Stadium.

😂 It sounds pretty rough too!

Missed it. Is this available somewhere?

Youtube link is dead...

That was a fun bit -- Paul on trumpet! And no, he's not a virtuoso trumpet player, but he does seem to be one of those magical people who can pick up any instrument and get music out of it, and could probably be good at any of them if he put his mind to it. This was a very fun bit, including Paul's bits of Louis Armstrong-esque singing.

I, for example, haven't yet received a refund. Just the email saying that the IBAN was wrong like the others (very strange because it was right). I answered them with two emails - one normal with iban (again) and other asking if they received the email - but nothing so far

Nothing new?

Still nothing.

A miracle happened as I have received it today. 🙂

I know we got our money back for Lille. Mine was a birthday gift, however, I believe the credit card companies returned the money to all of my friends accounts.

The other day I was delivering some supplies to a local hospital  and had a chance to gab with a few nurses in the ER. I asked them if they had watched the music special.  Most of them did see parts of it.  I joked with them about not a mention about law enforcement or military (yes I am both) during the show.  What touched me during this conversation was when one young nurse said, "that Beatle guy made me cry".  Whoa.  When I asked why, she simply said, "he showed pictures of us". Whoa, again.  Thanks Paul.

Nice!!   He's always been a class act!!

Great post wingsoverkc.  And I agree with DrivinFan 100%.  Paul is indeed a "class act".

Unfortunately it's impossible to know how safe it will be for any artist to tour next year, especially for someone who will be nearly 80 years old.

Ringo has rescheduled his 2020 tour to summer 2021, so we'll just have to wait and see about Paul.
