Paul McCartney 2014 Rumors

andybefc:
The stadium is actually staying for another year, its not being demolished in January. http://www.mercurynews.com/49ers/ci_24743339/one-last-paul-mccartney-gig-at-candlestick-park
Wow! I didn't realize they had that much time left. As long as the dates and the money lines up, I can't see any reason why he wouldn't do it! Maybe Ringo will even show up! For what it's worth since this is the rumors thread...I'm hoping that Paul will show up for Billy Joel's 65th Birthday concert at MSG on May 9th...I'm taking my grandmother for her 70th birthday- same day! I could see it happening.

Our local newspaper ran the article about the *strong possibility* of Paul performing @ Candlestick before it is demolished in late 2014. I'm so there if it happens.
-
I agree that with the demolition date pushed out, there should be no reason why they can't come to terms for him to play. I've been told there will be events held there through fall 2014. My cousin and I begged and pleaded with our parents to take us go to the concert in 1966. But I was just 10 and they wouldn't let us. No way will I miss it this time, if Paul plays there next year.
-
That's a twist on Candlestick. Wow. Sounds like me. I was in Seattle the weekend before they played there. My parents too wouldn't let me go because we were just there for the weekend and had to go back to Portland. And I was 10 too. I did get to stand under the sign with The Beatles on it at Seattle Center. Closest I got.

I was 11 in '66 and begged my Mom to take me to Cleveland Stadium to see them. She promised me "next year" she would. She will never live it down and I threaten to engrave it on her tombstone "She never took her daughter to see The Beatles." It's a family joke (I know, rather morbid!)

Great news! Let's hope the concert happens!

I'd like to see Ringo appear with Paul, as well as a couple of songs from The Beatles' '66 Candlestick set performed.

I think the greater chance of another Paul/Ringo appearance is the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction of Brian, or the Grammy program honoring The Beatles. Candlestick Park to me isn't likely as Ringo didn't show up for the last play at Shea with Paul. Even though it wasn't Paul's concert, the historical significance was there.

Was Ringo invited to the CitiField thing, though?

I always thought he would show up at one of those shows. Especially since he had just played with Paul in NYC in April at RCMH. I dunno...scheduling I'm sure!

It would be the right thing to do.

No idea. Has Ringo ever played with Paul at a solo Paul concert? He's been at shows, but never played with Paul right? Or am I wrong?

I think Ringo joined Paul on stage for Earth Day '93, but I don't think they performed anything. But, you're right: Nothing, in terms of a solo concert.

Paul and Ringo have been onstage together... 1976- Closing night of Wings Over America Tour Ringo came on stage. 1993- Earth Day Concert at Hollywood Bowl...Ringo came on stage. 2001- Concert For George...First time performing for an audience the rooftop! 2009- David Lynch Benefit...Performed together 2010- Ringo's 70th Birthday...Performed together ...I'm really hoping that they somehow play together to mark the 50th Ann. of The Beatles coming to America. This Candlestick Park event would be very nice too. But as Wallie said...Shea Stadium was a missed oppourtunity. Any reason why Paul didn't close the whole thing? I feel like Billy Joel was the second choice.

He actually did with "Let It Be".

He meant why wasn't the entire concert Paul's? Answer: he was busy in England and barely made it to the show on time as it was.

Yeah, but he could have changed plans.
