You guys Mecca isn't coming to Au's... ops: I inquired for you guys sorry...
I don't think they are holding their breath.

Mecca? Yikes!

Another snub and another reason for me at least, to think less and less of this bloke. The music is the music...but he can go forth!

Yeah, I hear ya. I am gong to Mexico City the last two weeks of October so these dates are neither here nor there. I'll listen to my CDs and watch videos of these shows on youtube for free. Good for the fans in those places. I just crack up when I hear laments like, "It's been a whole five years since he has played here!"

Sadly for us, Australia is closer to Mecca than a McCartney concert. And we can all face Mecca...but Macca can't face us, obviously!.

Typical of the bleating that gets me: "Paul is playing Vegas but I ain't gunna go all the way from LA..." "I've waited 15 years to see Paul but I can't go because I have to study for an exam." "I'd love to see him, I'm his biggest fan and we live in NYC and he's playing Jersey tomorrow...but I can't find a sitter for the kids." "He's playing the Staples Center but I can't make it - my car has broken down." "The last 5 tours he has played Arizona, when is he coming to Nevada?" :

Definitely puts things in perspective. If it's any consolation: I attended only ONE of the THREE gigs he's played in my vicinity over the past year-and-a-half/two years...give or take.

Or my favorite: "I saw him in 2009 at Citi Field, August 2010 in Philadelphia, July 2011 at Yankee Stadium, December 2012 at the Concert for Sandy Relief in Madison Square Garden, June 2013 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, October 2013 at Times Square (free), July 2014 in Albany, June 2015 in Philadelphia; when's he coming back to Madison Square Garden?"

Mmmmmm...

Paul is partly to blame. Look how many times he has played the area based on your post. People come to EXPECT him to play the area and feel neglected if six months pass and they don't see him in concert. He has made it an obligation. Where I live, there is very little interest in him. Why would there be?

Not to mention he just did an NYC show in February of this year!

Those laments drive me crazy. Except when they are about Argentina. Then it's ok!

Yeah we kinda figured over the course of this thread (13 years or something?), but thank you!! As said many times it's extremely lame that it "can't" (won't) happen with a guy of his status. It would be great to see him give an honest answer as to why he "can't" make it here.
