pOlO:
US shows will be added to the tour in the coming days according to what we have at Maccablog. Can't say if it's Pittsburg or not, but at least it's a hope
Awesome!

KDKA news at noon just mentioned the Beach Boys and Paul McCartney as possible Mellon Arena closing events.
I'm against Paul closing the Mellon Arena, the sound would be horrible. As for the Beach Boys, really?!?! You couldn't get someone better, if it was the original line up then it would be good, but it isn't. Donnie Iris would be a better fit then the revamped Beach Boys.
-
I agree about the Beach Boys. Sounds kind of lame to me...I mean, I love the Beach Boys and Pet Sounds is one of my favorite all time albums...but it's just not the same anymore. Plus, they play small venues now. As for Paul at the Mellon, the sound may be better if the roof is open. And you never know, they may have him close it then go open up the CEC. Would rather have him somewhere in Pittsburgh than not be here at all. I'm still more interested in him opening the new arena and have my doubts about the Mellon Arena thing actually happening. Can't wait to get those US dates confirmed! Thanks for the heads up from Macca Blog!

Part of me hopes that any announcements made will be later in the day, after I am home from work, I am 43 and going through a very emotional stage in my life....when I get excited or happy I tend to burst out into tears....which I really try to avoid at work

They will probably be announced in the evening like last time with SLC and Utah. Here's hoping we here some PA dates!

What if he closed one one day (Mellon Arena), then went across the street and opened the other the next day (Consol Arena)? I think he might like that! So would I and would definitely be at both!

Agreed. I will find a way to afford both shows. I do have a ton of savings bonds still, it might be time to cash those in.
-
Interesting idea, sunbeam!!! Originally when the radio stations were talking about Springsteen possibly coming, they were saying that about him. I could really see Paul doing this now that he's the frontrunner of the rumors. And I'm with you Matt..I'll find a way to afford these shows no matter what. It's a can't-miss event!

They're running more on the closing of the Mellon Arena on KDKA at 6. It will probably be the same info they've said all day.. but you never know.. they may throw in some info about the Consol Energy Center..or anything we'll find to be useful

Sweet! I'll watch KDKA and you can watch WTAE and we'll compare their scoops. LOL

Nothing at all worthwhile on KDKA. Tina Turner was mentioned. At least they didn't say Whitney Houston. gag...

I caught the Tina Turner The Beach Boys as well, it's one original member and I'm also with you on loving Pet Sounds. But it just seems bizarre to have them shut down the arena. I'd actually go with all local acts to close down the arena. This is of course after they announce Paul at Consol. WTAE didn't give much info at all. Just said SMG is planning on testing the controls to open the roof in July.

I;m seeing the beach boys at pier six this summer...its probably about the third of an arena...pactually less lol, I really doubt Mike Love and his boys of the beach will close it...now if Mike, Brian, and Al got some guys together it could work...but that'll never happen!

NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! They all hate each other, right?
-
