OK Tomorrow the big for me. Hope all you guys have a blast tonite . Will be checking back tonite after work to read all the great posts about tonite's show.

I'm excited to read posts later tonight too!!! Does anyone know if there are decent restaurants around the arena? We're getting there tomorrow around 2:30 to see Paul arrive, hopefully, and are probably just gonna park and leave our car, hoping there's some food within walking distance? Thanks!
-
Just a few hours to go!! Hope everyone has fun (but of course you guys will!!)
-
It's only 3:00 PM and the traffic is bad 3 miles away from the venue ...
-
Everybody have a great time tonight, and make sure he saves some energy for tomorrow night too!

Waiting in the back of Consol Energy for Paul to arrive !
-
Have fun tonight, everybody! And don't forget to come back here after the concert to tell us all about it.

@Venus: If you have time, tell us about the setup at the back of the Consol Center. Was it easy to find, a lot of fans/security? Did you get a good view of Paul/good pictures? Thanks so much!!! Have an awesome time!!!

Paul's flight was late. He arrived at the Center by another entrance and rushed in it. So we didn't get to see him but we tried ! We met nice fans while waiting for 2 hours ! Up to the Rock Show NOW !
-

HAVE A GREAT TIME TONIGHT PITTSBURGH!!!!!
-
Just watching the news footage from Pittsburgh is getting me so PUMPED UP for tomorrow! WOO HOO! My first Paul Concert!
-
I see he's quite late, again! Wonder why he waits till the last minute? Why not get there earlier in the day, or even the night before? Oh, well...as long as he gets there, I suppose, but I was just curious.
-
Fashionably Late -- I believe it's called
-
well think of it in this way. ok-he was somewhere doing a commitment, and then takes his flight right? who do you know, what artist that his plane is late, or he is late, ( hey he was even late, being in the Bath once, "REMEMBER THAT? and Brian Epstein was upset about that one! lol) then he gets in late, "HIS PLANE IS LATE"goes to soundcheck gets into the GIG there, then the show starts, and he is there. and what do ya know! PAUL DELIVERS THE MOST AWSOME PERFORMANCE, OF ANY ARTIST IN THE UNIVERSE!!! he is NEVER LATE! in his mind he is just in time! fans worry, but never fear Paul is in Charge and he is in Second GEAR going at the light of speed!! LOL NO ONE CAN DO THAT!!!!

I'm sure Pittsburgh is rockin now

Setlist A for tonight.
McCartney wings his way to rocking open for arena PITTSBURGH - Blasting off with "Venus& Mars/Rockshow" Wednesday, music's biggest star launched the live entertainment era at Consol Energy Center. Paul McCartney picked that 1975 Wings tune, followed by another Wings tune, "Jet," to start his historic grand opening show for Pittsburgh's spacious new arena. A sold-out crowd came for the Beatles tunes, of course, and Sir Paul, looking and sounding fit, didn't make them wait long, singing "All My Loving" and "Got to Get You into my Life" within the first five songs. After his sixth song, "Highway" from his underrated band The Fireman, McCartney ditched his dark sports jacket, revealing his white shirt and suspenders. "OK, that is the big wardrobe change" he joked before shredding through Wings' "Let Me Roll It" and a brief but fiery cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" then a lovely "Long and Winding Road." For a complete review, revisit timesonline.com or read the "Weekend" section of Friday's Times.
