No Mr. Kite? Contrary to overwhelming disdain for this song on this forum, I find it very, very cool he's chosen this song for this tour- my favorite.

Good detective work Rocky.

I'd guess it was in there but wasn't reported on Twitter.

I'm useful for something at least!

Did the show start while it was still daylight? Looks pretty day light-ish in that photo.
It did indeed, the show started late but it was still bright. When he did his 2010 UK outdoor tour all the gigs were performed in daylight until well into the show - it's one of the big reasons that I don't like outdoor gigs!
That's cool. Come to think of it, when I was in La Rochelle, France working in 1999, I was shocked that it was still quite light outside at 10pm!! His show in Boulder, Colorado in 1993 started early in daylight because of a curfew.
His 2004 St Petersburg show was performed from start to finish in daylight!

Back from the SDF, my second Macca show in less than a week...like in 2002, hehe... Some random thoughts : - Show started around 21.10 instead of 21.35, a definite improvement. - His voice with A LOT better than in Marseille where it really seemed he was willing to leave everything on the table until he couldn't do it anymore, no pacing. That was really obvious when he croaked through IJSAF after Amazed. None of that tonight, hard to understand since he played two shows in a row in Amsterdam since. Guess he needs to keep the pipes working. - Sound was also A LOT better than in Marseille even though I was in the stands tonight and not dead center of Gold GA. - I was disappointed when it seemed he was going to play the same setlist as in Marseille since GTGYIML was there...but we got "I saw her Standing There" in the first encore after Another Girl, Hi Hi Hi and CBML, thanks Paul! - Even though it won't be for a while now I'm a lot more hopeful I'll get to see him again than after the Marseille show. - The Stade de France wasn't completely packed like for the Stones last year (crowd of 76,495) but there were few tarped areas, I'm guessing 60,000+ PS - Yes we got a snippet of Yellow Sub before Michelle, too bad he didn't play a full version, it would certainly be a big crowd pleaser. PS2 - No I'm Looking Through You ! It was Face like in Marseille, too bad since I'm Looking Through You is a favorite of mine.

What an amazing concert! Yellow Submarine, Michelle, four songs during the first encore. Show began at 9:10 PM and ended at midnight. The stadium was packed, and it's huge!

Let's be clear. Yellow Submarine was not performed as a song.

less than 26 seconds, it was longer in past tours

I confirm the little surprise of the 1st encore. 4 songs : Another Girl Hi Hi Hi Can't Buy Me Love I Saw Her Standing There Paul performed the set list of the 1st London gig + Got To Get You Into My Life + Michelle + a little bit of Yellow Submarine.
-
The only reason Paul sang that little snippet of Yellow Submarine was because some of the people down front started singing it. Paul played & sang a little bit on his guitar & Wix played along for a few seconds on accordion. That was it. Sounded checkers: what did you think? I was not impressed.
-
Clarification: what did you think of the organization of the sound check. I was very impressed with the sound check itself, needless to say, and also the concert. The organizers of this sound check could learn a lot from the folks that do it in the U.S.

All the UK 2010 stadiums except cardiff - they closed the roof about 10 minutes before he came on to force darkness on us all!!

Hampden Park doesn't have a roof. It still wasn't fully dark when the gig finished.

Yeah i know it doesn't, that's why i just replied to Rocky saying Cardiff closed the roof, when he'd said all the UK stadium gigs were played in daylight. I've seen him at Liverpool twice outdoors where it's light for half the gig, i agree it's a weird experience.

Just a heads up that the Paris show is available in decent quality on Dime. Listening to it confirms that Paul's voice was 10x better than in Marseille (or Paris 2009 and 2011), pretty miraculous but it works for me and makes me hopeful I'll see him again! As a side note has anyone seen official attendance numbers for Paris ? I'd guess 65000+ based on the few tarped sections right at the top and the 76495 of the Stones last years, but I've only seen either 50000 or 80000 so far from normally reputable sources !
