Amazing as always! The setlist comments above are correct. I actually enjoyed having one encore. It gave the ended some much needed excitement as I was curious for the first time in...ever really, about what would happen next in the encore! We left late and made it up just in time for limo watch at about 5:45 and I got an EPIC photo of Paul...first successful limo watch photo! He was filming us as he came in...I suppose we can check the main site and see! The pre-show festivities were great too! The tribute band, The Beat Tells, were okay. They did the job and as "John" pointed out...it was an easy crowd to please. We were finally let in the arena about 7:15 as their set concluded. I caught up with Rick G. at limo watch who gave us marvelous "Fans on The Run" pins...very official feeling! I also had the pleasure of finally meeting Anita and her children after six years on the board and I was sitting next to "MaccaGirl" and didn't even know it at first! So...about the music! Very strong opening three songs, the excitement just grew and grew. "Listen To What The Man Said" was slightly concerning. This was one of just a few moments where his voice was noticeably off. He also nearly missed the second verse and started to go into the chorus instead, quickly recovering. "Temporary Secretary"...my grandmother hated it! I was happy to hear something different...but it is not something I'd say I care for. The remaining opening electric set stalwarts were greatly received as always. The piano set needs a refresher. 1985 was the only overwhelmingly great song in the whole set. "My Valentine" kills the momentum he spends the first twenty minutes building. "Maybe I'm Amazed" started rocky, but he leveled it out...it's just too risky. "The Long and Winding Road" will probably never leave the set, but he hit some awful clunkers in his piano intro...incredibly noticeable. The acoustic band set and solo set on the riser were wonderful. No complaints, and nothing out of the ordinary to report! "Hope For The Future" (and My Valentine) were the two bathroom/beer break songs. Yes, this was a real thing that I watched happen...it exists, people! Everything from here on out to the end of the main set was just as incredible as you all know it to be and I mentioned the encore earlier on! Paul is THE man!!! .....cannot wait to do it again Tuesday!!!

The concert was fantastic, LOVED every minute!!! Absolutely THRILLED to see Paul perform "Temporary Secretary," so much fun!!! Mike, nice to see you again and to meet your lovely wife! Hope the two of you enjoyed the concert! Jarrett, great to finally meet you and your Grandma, Diane! Hope you had a safe trip home! Tom, sooooo good to see you again, you are such a nice guy!!! Hope you and your son had a safe trip home! "Temporary Secretary," buddy!!! How great was that???!!! Sooooo tired, more tomorrow! Wait, cannot go without writing about a young girl behind me... when Paul took the stage she screamed "Oh my God!!! Oh my God!!! Oh my God!!!" It was AWESOME!!! Oh, one more thing, three women up on stage. The first woman gave Paul a Panama hat of Ecuadorian origin. The second requested a hug. This was her second trip up on stage with Paul. Five years ago in Philly she was signed for a tattoo. The third woman brought a donation check made to a charity in exchange for Paul's signature on the back of her neck for a tattoo - all cool stuff!!!

WixRocks pretty much nailed the description of the show. I will add that the visuals were incredible, and I loved the pre-show collage that went scrolling down the side screens as remixes of some Beatles and Paul music played. We quickly realized as we heard each song play that these were all the songs we were NOT going to be hearing tonight. There was some "know-it-all' guy behind me who kept commenting that Paul was about to play "Yesterday" every time he pulled out an acoustic guitar. Also, in the opening collage, there was a photo of Ringo and Barbara, and this guy said to his friends, "That's his first wife. She was a Bond girl. She divorce him." Umm, NOT! Paul's voice did falter here and there, but his band really helps flesh everything out. "Save Us" was incredibly powerful, and I was also amazed at how much "bottom" "Temporary Secretary" had. Most of the people around us were bewildered at that number, for sure! Our friend who sat with us was ecstatic over "TS" and "Hi Hi Hi". I'm pretty sure I saw the one forum member a few rows ahead of me on the end of that row with her husband and little boy, but the crowd was just too thick, and I was right in the middle of the row where I couldn't really squeeze past everyone again and go roaming around. Our seats were great, basically 17th row center. Best I've ever had for Paul. Can't complain!!!
