Great story but would dispute he's #1fan cos I am!!!ð???. I've been a fan since 1963, have every record of Beatles and Paul on cd and vinyl. Have a tattoo of Paul's guitar on my leg, live and breath his music, my dog is Rigby, the numberplate on my Mini in BLAKBRD, huge collection of lther memorabilia. I will be seeing Paul in Melbourne and Sydney as he is unfortunately not coming to Adelaide.10 days and counting. Love to meet him but I'm not that lucky. Hope the guy in the video has his dream come true with his little boy.

Nope, 1975 Paul planned to play Brisbane in 1993 and it was mentioned in the original press release for the 1993 Australian tour. However, there were issues with the venue. He wanted to play Lang Park (since rebuilt and renamed Suncorp Stadium, which is the venue for the December 9 gig), but the rules around aound noise pollution, etc., were too restrictive. The council wanted him to play the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, but it was too small for his stage. The other stadiums we unavailable for some reason. So, in the end, the planned Brisbane show never went on sale and extra Sydney shows were put on at a second venue instead (bringing the total of Sydney shows to 5).

At the time I was glad he skipped BNE. Both Sydney indoor shows sold out in (then) world record time. No BNE, so he scheduled one more at the Entertainment Centre and me and my mates got IN. Drove up from Melbourne.

I was still a kid, so it was kinda devastating for me. The three or four year wait since he started touring again had seemed like a lifetime (ha!), and the concert was promised and then snatched away. But my mum made some big sacrifices and organised a trip to Sydney for us. Although the tickets sold out in minutes, we just scraped in with back row tickets for the first night and third-from-the-back row tickets on the second night, and it was amazing! ?

Just wondering...is there a lot of hype (radio...tv...billboards) about Paul's first concerts in Australia in almost 25 years?!?!

Not really but given there's extra shows in Melbourne and Sydney, I'd say ticket sales are good enough that he doesn't need to spend a buttload on promotion.

Loads of meet & greet and soundcheck packages for every date being given away thorugh local radio/media.

I guess all the press and social media exposure did its thing.
