Paul Playing in Times Square 10.10.2013!!!
-
SO cool!
-
I still cant believe I was this close; The only perk of working in Times Square... -
I'm glad Paul is really promoting the NEW songs at these live appearances.
-
Doing anything other than those songs would negate all the effort.
-
Really cool
Be cool if he'd pop up (with some advance notice) at various unexpected big cities in the coming days before the "New" release and perform songs from only "New" -

And we are done - sounded pretty good considering it was a webcam feed coming from the back of a semi! LOL!
First time I've ever attended a concert via webcam, for sure!
same.
You guys weren't there for some... 2011-ish? US open air stadium gig where there was some webcam stream at the other side of the road or something and the music in the faint distance?
That even got bootlegged lol! With the people waiting for the traffic lights honking during the "beep beep"'s of 'Drive My Car', that was classic.Wrigley Field in Chicago, most likely.
And thanks to pbongiovi for sharing your great photo!

OMG I'm so mad I missed it!! I ran soooooo fast to the train when I heard a rumor this was happening! I was in the middle of class studying for my midterm when I heard the rumor!! I am a little out of the city so I knew I had a small chance of seeing anything but I tired anyway. I never thought I could run as fast as I did from my campus to the train! lol I was in the biggest rush to get over there! That itself was an experience lol I was pretty much running to save my life on the streets on NY, off the E on 42nd street, I'm surprised I didn't get chased by the police for suspicious behavior since I was carrying my school backpack in my hands lol But when I got to Times Square it had already ended
I'm soo glad to hear that he performed Queenie Eye!!! Yay!! That means it should be on his next concert tour!!! I'm so excited, but Paul has to stop being so sneaky! lol

^^ Awesome photo!! Thank you! I probably should've smushed my way closer to the stage but I'm not the best with crowds so hung out on the stairs above the TKTS booth. Not complaining though by any stretch - still can't quite believe it!

What an incredible few days for me. Now on bus heading home! This surprise today was just totally surreal! Pinch me! "Queenie Eye" is my favorite song on album so far. I've been singing lines at afternoon! How can any song with Bitches, Snitches, and Witches, in the lyrics not be a hit?!!! This has been one of the best few days I've ever had!!! What incredible friends. I am blessed. Podgie (NEW York) Monkey

I still cant believe I was this close; The only perk of working in Times Square...Ahhh!!!! So awesome. I am so jealous of NYers! So glad some fans had enough notice to head down. I listened via the stream and squealed when he started Queenie Eye. It sounded fantastic. Was it as great live up close?? I wish he would have pulled out a couple of these songs during the first leg of the Out There tour. I loved seeing him in Seattle and it was perfect but at least one new song would have been great. He is clearly enjoying playing these new songs live. I'm so excited for this release.

Paul, you are just too cool!!!

McCartney should just tour across the USA with that truck/stage and play in various cities and towns!! An hour show announced an hour before the show! For FREE!!!
