The show was awesome. I already knew the setlist but I still enjoyed it. The sound check was also nice. It was pretty loud & clear even listening from the outside. I recored couple of songs but I only share with my FB friends, sorry. Just like I always do, I never buy the ticket through the on line or someone else. I always buy it from the box office at the show. I know it's risky but I just simply don't want to pay the fees. Well I managed to get a floor seat which was sec B. It's not a best seat but at least I got in the field. Believe me, I wish I could see it at front but it seems impossible. Well, While everyone had a issue with parking & getting out after the show, I took a Dodger Stadium Express which left the Stadium at 11:30PM and arrived at Union Station at 11:50PM! It's pretty fast! I took some photos of the shows. They are not so great but if you still want to see them, here is. https://picasaweb.google.com/116751324549930992838/PaulMcCartenyLosAngelesOn81014
Nice photos, thanks for sharing. That looks like an awesome concert experience. Being up front is cool, but you can also miss stuff when you are real close. And with the riser in the front, even front row is not all that close.

Very nice pics. Looks like it was a great show.

Question for those who attended Dodger stadium concert - if you had field seats, which way did the seat numbers go as you faced the stage...right to left or left to right? Very curious to find out since they might set up Candlestick the same way.

The seats were left to right.

Question for people who were at the show: A television station in San Diego reported Denny Siewell from Wings was on stage performing with Paul. Is this true? I did not see any mention of it in this thread. I have seen pictures of Denny backstage, but not on stage.

This show was amazing. Seeing Paul has been #1 on my bucket list for years, and finally seeing and hearing him perform my favorite songs in person was just surreal. I spent the first several songs thinking "I can't believe this is actually happening!" One of many standout moments for me was when the entire stadium lit up during Let It Be, and Paul responded afterwards by saying, "Thanks for the lights." I was already excited just to hear the song live, but seeing the beautiful lights on top of that took my breath away. It occurs to me now that this probably happens at all of his shows, but I love that Paul still commented on it anyway. I didn't make it to the Hollywood Bowl shows in 2010 (found out about them after tickets had sold out), and I've regretted it for years up until this show. Looking forward to San Diego next!

After being a fanatical listener of most things Beatles since age 3, I attended a McCartney show for the very first time, at Dodger Stadium. I had been putting it off for almost 20 years and finally caved in for the historic show. A great performance, crowd, setting, and "super moon." His live albums/DVD's of the last 20+ years lack the energy and grit of the Dodger Stadium performance. I'm in for all of his future L.A. show(s) and hope the next one is soon. He seems to visit Los Angeles every 4-5 years. Maybe (and sadly), I just witnessed his last performance in L.A.? Also, I did see a wealth of cameras. An official release?

And I believe Ron Howard's crew might have been filming for his movie about the Beatles.

There were more cameras during the opener "Eight Days A Week" than I've ever seen at a concert.

I would love to say there may be an official release coming out because lord do we need one and if we do get one I hope they do it RIGHT. The only way to listen/watch to McCartney live anymore is on proshot/soundboard bootlegs or to just see him in concert. All the DVD's are a joke. The CDs (besides WOA and Tripping) are no far behind it.. Soo if we see a release from this tour I pray that it is done right..

Paul's concert DVDs are horrible. I would only buy it after others had and could tell me it isn't a bunch of showing celebs in the crowd, etc. Otherwise, I don't buy.

I took some photos of the shows. They are not so great but if you still want to see them, here is. https://picasaweb.google.com/116751324549930992838/PaulMcCartenyLosAngelesOn81014
You captured some nice moments. And quality is really crisp. Thanks for sharing. I was way over to the side, so I have distortion in mine, but I managed to pick a few I liked: https://www.flickr.com/photos/parlance/sets/72157645942705218/ I had a fantastic time, and everyone in my section - including the little girl standing a chair next to me - was excited and dancing and singing along. I wanted so badly to follow it up with Candlestick Park, but I have to be fiscally responsible right now. But so happy I got another chance to see a full show! parlance

Did the "special guests" materialize?
Nope. Ringo, Jeff Lynne and Joe Walsh were there, but did not appear on stage.
I don't mean to cast doubt on your comment, but are you saying that Ringo was in the audience? I was sitting in section E, right by the aisle, and I was watching like a hawk as the VIPs started coming in at 8:20. They were easy to spot because they were all escorted by security. I saw Joe Walsh, Jeff Lynne, and Kanye West. I didn't see Ringo. Of course, I could have easily missed him in the confusion, or he could have come in another way, or he was simply been backstage. Anyone else see him? Any other sources report he was there?
