Hopefully that part is on video for you. I bet it is!
Yes it is! Thank you! Sometimes I have to watch it again and again to really comprehend that the moment was real, and that we really experienced that and it wasn't a dream.

Hey everybody! My family and myself were able to meet Paul in Fresno! This was a dream come true, and it was the most amazing experience of my life. Here are some photos I'd like to share with you all from that evening! (I do have video as well from the Fresno show, but don't know how to post them here. I usually just edit them into one long video and post it to YouTube. I'll post that link here where it's done). Thanks, and I hope you all enjoy!
This is truly amazing! Can you please tell us a little bit about what happen when they pick you to go on stage? What do you do when you wait on the back stage? Did you met Paul during the encore break on the backstage as well? Do you return to your seat after it or just wait on the backstage until the show is over?
Thank you very much!! Sure! Well it was definitely the most magical moments of my life! My family and myself were waiting for Paul to finish "Yesterday" before we actually went onstage. We were standing with a crew member and the cameraman who was filming us before we were led onstage to meet Paul. We did not meet Paul until the moment we went onstage that you may see in any YouTube videos. But while we were waiting, Rusty came up to me and shook my hand, and then after, he hugged my younger sister. After we met Paul, we went off stage and we went back to our seats as requested.
As we were walking back to our seats, but still backstage, Mary McCartney approached us and said a few kind word to us. It was unbelievable.

WAY COOL!

My favorite pic is where Mom is at the tattoo parlor following through - well done Mom! Also, the gal who is perhaps the youngest of the group, the one who mentioned Penny Lane, looked terrified when it was her turn, poor dear! What an awesome family!

I was in 4th row, and I thought to myself, "that lady doesn't look old enough for all those people to be her kids". Now I know!
That was really awesome to watch. Your poor son....Paul teased him when he said "My name is Jude and I was named after Julian Lennon". I think Paul said "but I thought you said your name was Jude". Who was Jessica with the nickname of "Jet"? And who said they wanted to name their baby "Penny Lane"? So happy for all of you! -

you are so kind! It was myself, Jude, Jules, Julian (whatever anybody would like to call me since I go by all three haha), my older sister Jessica (Jet), and my younger sister Amanda said she wanted to name her daughter Penny Lane! lol yes Paul did tease me haha. I was tripping out because at that moment I was thinking "wow you wrote Hey Jude and while you were writing it you thinking about calling it Hey Jules, then changed it to Hey Jude For Julian Lennon who I was named after" and all that was flashing through my mind! -
Did you all see the photo on the macca instagram account of "us" (in Fresno)? https://www.instagram.com/p/BELBM9CzcPz/?taken-by=paulmccartney FYI.

I was there but missed this as I had to leave early. Good for you all! Paul has such a profound affect on us all. Long live your memories.

In the 40 years I've been seeing Sir Paul each and every show has had its highlights but this ranks near the very top. He was so youthful, engaged, passionate and the setlist was --sorry "Super Fans" (?)-- fantastic. Anyoone who could argue with starting a show with the most iconic chord in rock history is daft. It was thrilling. The whole evening was a homerun.

You're daft for thinking it is a McCartney chord. It isn't. Lennon wrote it. He could easily have opened with a song he actually helped write and sang lead with John on. This is more like a tribute to the Beatles than a McCartney concert.

If he had to open with a Beatles song, I would have picked I saw her standing there or Hold me tight.
-
At this stage of the game he should open with... "thankyou and goodnight!"
-
"ZING!!!"

While his voice was definitely shakey many times, I wouldn't go THIS far....

Sorry you had to leave early....were you sitting by yourself?

Exactly! Even I Want To Hold Your Hand or From Me To You or She Loves You. He co wrote and co sang lead on those.

I respectfully disagree. He should open with "SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!!" and confetti rain.
