Hey all, Did anyone happen to get a picture of the "cutie" on the big screen? I would love to have one to show my daughter, Eleanor, when she is older. She loved getting a call out from Sir Paul...and was so sweet blowing him kisses. If you did snap a pic, or a video, please, please, please pass along!

Limo watch from YouTube!

I was at the show and I enjoyed the heck out of it. While some of you found the setlist tired, remember some folks are going to their first Paul show so not doing Maybe I'm Amazed would have left them heartbroken. Sure at 73 his range isn't what it was but he made up for it with power, passion and genuine emotion. That song probably means a hell of a lot more to him than any of us. He's Paul freaking McCartney and he can play whatever the heck he wants. If you don't like it you can elect to not see him. I'm much more comfortable with Paul deciding on his setlists than his kids, wife or dog groomer. Even Temporary Secretary was well received due to the visual element. He did bring fans on stage during the encore. One had a sign asking for a pregnancy announcement selfie while the other was a couple in Union Jack attire asking for a hug. He then autographed the woman's back and her husband's arm so they could get it tattooed. 3 of the best hours of my life even though hearing the words "here's a newer song I wrote with Kanye West" made me throw up in my mouth a little. Was cool Columbus renamed the street after him for the day. Got a nice photo of McCartney Blvd street sign before the show. Band was tight and seemed to feed off energy from the crowd. Paul got a big laugh when he joked "you know you're missing the Democratic debate."

Exactly. Paul's stage show is designed first and foremost for an audience seeing him for the first and possibly only time. Attending a Paul McCartney show over and over again is almost as pointless as watching a film over and over again. You've seen it once, move on, there are other artists/shows/ (films) to see.

"Take it Away" (among others, of course) would cause a sensation, methinks

Nonsense! WHO says "Design my stage so it can be enjoyed only by those people who are a) seeing me for the first time and b) will only see me once." Paul did not play Maybe I'm Amazed in 1993 and it was not missed. I can see him having to play Yesterday, but everything else is actually expendable and can be replaced by something just as good. He has THAT DEEP of a catalogue.

"He's Paul ****ing McCartney and he can play whatever the heck he wants. If you don't like it you can elect to not see him" Yes he can and many of us have elected not to see him anymore and pay the high ticket prices. "Sure at 73 his range isn't what it was but he made up for it with power, passion and genuine emotion. That song probably means a hell of a lot more to him than any of us. " Sorry but most of the times his vocal on this song comes close to embarrassing. He is 73 and stuff happens to you physically, why not admit it and either not do the song or change the arrangement to something your voice can currently handle. BTW - this is not the only song he wrote for Linda. Every heard of songs like "The Lovely Linda" or "My Love".

Hey, I am glad you enjoyed the show! But it is pretty pathetic when an artist of this stature needs to take the stand and say "I'm fucking Paul McCartney! I can play whatever I want! If you don't like it, you can elect not to attend my show!" I know he didn't say that, but that attitude really gets under my skin. Really? Well, then, I want all my money back from all the LPs, singles, cassettes, CDs, videotapes, DVDs, posters, magazines, and multiple concert tickets I purchased to help make him a billionaire, because, HAD I KNOWN Paul's only concern was one time purchasers of albums and concert tickets, I would have stopped a LONG time ago, around 1976. What a ridiculous way of looking at things.

Exactly. So all those people who have constantly bought his albums/CD's since 1980 are not as important as the first time people who want a Beatle concert.

Not to mention those who are buying the remasters -- albums that he, apparently, continues to pretend don't exist on tour.

Did he sing a complete version of FourFiveSeconds just like he did at State College two nights later?
