      Nancy R:

      Martha My Dear is pretty high though. Could he handle it?

      There could be a lot of double vocals with Abe takiing the high notes (just as suggestion???)

                  What fun, I got one, you said moments: It was at the San Diego show, now about a year ago, during the encores. I don't like it when the audience refuses to clap & cheer Paul back on stage. They just stand there like their due another song & he has to comeback anyway so why clap, etc. I think its disrespectful, anyway you could hear a pin drop this time so I took in a big breath of air & shouted as loud as I could "PAUL!!" like how we use to do in the good ole days. I thought hey, one more for old time sake, the others around me started to chuckle, but only got a chuck out cause Paul came barreling thru the curtains so fast he got his guitar strings caught in the curtain. He tugged it loose mid stride before starting the Good Night Trilogy. I think he ripped the curtain. For me it was as if finally after 50 years Paul answers a Beatle Maniac call, in a way. New avatar, cause I'm such a drama queen.

                  From Hollywood Bowl 1964 & 1966 to  NYC  Madison Square Garden 2017, 15 concerts so far.

                      It's too bad "Looking For Changes" is probably a one off.

                            ""Looking For Changes" at the PeTA thing last night. That is cool but it is probably a one time thing, song was about treatment of animals so it fit the occasion.

                            Maybe I'm amazed !!

                                It's not that it's high, the problem is that the piano part is quite hard & to sing on top of that that's the problem.

                                  I'm sure he could play the piano part and sing, but when it gets to the "hold your head up you silly girl, look what you've done," that part he'd have to do in falsetto I think.

                                    Phoenix 2010, when Sir Paul hit the few chords of "1985" and dedicated to "the Wings fans". Yes, the arena went nuts. Me included.

                                      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.

                                          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.

                                            He didn't read any signs or bring anyone on stage at the concert in Bergen last month. I definitely prefer it that way.
