Paul Giving Out Drumsticks?
-
There was a toy green frog* on the sound board during the Memphis concert. It looked like the sound guy gave it to someone at the end of the concert. (Unfortunately it wasn't me). *Remember after the crickets in Brazil they put green frogs on Paul's piano. The one I saw looked like one of them...

I got a guitar pick, I think it was the first Citifield concert (or maybe the 2nd night)

At the end of any show there are a few cheap disposable items that the crew know will have sentimental value to fans attending the show. If you're in the right place at the right time the types of things handed out by the crew include: drumsticks, as in this instance. guitar picks from Paul, Rusty and Brian. The set-list running order sheets each member of the band - and Paul - have at their positions. While it's unlikely Paul will have said "I want this to be given to that person" it's a common industry practice which he undoubtedly supports. Who's been fortunate enough to get such a gift? If so, what and when? Are there any other items handed over the rail that I haven't listed? If so what? Good topic... Martin
Brian Ray threwhis tambourine into the crowd near the end of Saturday nights show in Brooklyn I think on Hey Jude. Maybe the sound guy was trying to pick you up!
Brian throws the tambourine into the crowd just about every time they sing "Hey Jude" live at concerts. I have yet to catch it.

Thst's because he usually throws it to Paul's head of security. It only looks like he is throwing it to the crowd.

The tambourine is tossed directly to Brian Riddle. It does not go in to the crowd.

I thought Paul was a vegetarian? Why would he be giving out drumsticks?
Did he give out coffees and chips in Liverpool once at a gig that was snowed under?

Good work! Seems I haven't lost all my brain cells just yet.
