Just done with the concert!! Paul sounded pretty dang good! Don't think there were any set list newbies but Paul did pull a couple up onstage so the guy could propose. Paul gave them a big hug! What a cute moment. â¤ï¸ð??¸ I don't know how he continually sounds that good! Loved every second of it!

Epic. Mind-blowing. Sensational. Not my words, but descriptions from people around me. Just got back to KC (it's now almost 3am). Will have more complete review in a few hours. A great time was had by all. The Omaha crowd were superb!!

Great, high energy show. I have none at the moment so more later. Soundcheck include One After 909 which was a fun surprise.
. Warren Buffett had a seat in the mezzanine for the concert.

Paul sounded about as good as he ever has last night. We all know the 2-3 songs he struggles through or has changed slightly to be able to sing. Its amazing he even still try to preform them honestly. But in the last few years there were shows where he seemed to struggle throughout. And last night his voice was stronger than Ive seen it in years. I really didnt expect that. He even let out a long scream at one point that seemed like something he hadnt attempted before.. I was really impressed. Same setlist, which does get to be a little bit of a buzzkill when youve seen him recently. The show has started to follow a procedure now on multiple viewings and that makes it go by quickly.. so minor, but its a shame. The pyro, visuals, stage effects and lighting were top notch as per usual. I think we take for granted how good it really is. I was really surprised but the absolute biggest applause of the night? Something.. whenever George was on the screen people cheered and after he finished it was so significant Paul went to talk and had to stop because the crowd was still roaring. Nebraskans loved the quiet Beatle apparently. If you still get to see him on this tour, be happy. While the setlist is repetitive.. he still plays decades of hits and songs that illustrated our lives. And his voice is top notch and he looks like going another 10 years. There was a sense for me last night that it may be the last time I see him like this. I wanted to drink it in. But honestly.. he still has plenty in the tank.

Thought I would miss the show when my flight got cancelled! I love them all but this show IMO was special, great crowd, great energy, great sound!! I enjoyed Miami and Tampa but I thought Omaha was the best. I met a few people on the way in who never saw him. Back at the hotel after the show they were still going on about what a great concert and great time they had. Always happy seeing my friends from Fans On The Run (missed Rick), they know how to keep the party going even after its over!

Okay all, sorry for the delay, but had an emergency to handle at work. Anyway, the Omaha 2017 show was yes, epic. Easily enters my top three McCartney shows (#1 is still and will always be Wings Over America, first show, Fort Worth, Texas, 1976; second is Memorial Day 1993, Kansas City). First off , I went to my first limo watch; Paul's security detail could not have been any nicer; they frequently gave us updates on McCartney's arrival. And then the limo arrives and stops three feet from me; window comes down and Paul salutes us all, big thumbs up. Holy Batman!! Very cool. The show was epic. This must be the new word (maybe replacing AWESOME). I was surrounded by young people in my floor seat. One couple told me they have two children named Harrison and Desmond. So cool. The young 24 year old lady to my right kept saying "This is soooo epic". Ha. The sound and especially Paul's voice were equally AWESOME. Maybe I'm Amazed sounded remarkable. Paul simply nailed that tune. This song means so much to him, but it always means so much to his crowd. And sorry for all the dissenters on this site, but Temporary Secretary is very well received. The youngsters around me loved it! Of course my highlights were the Wings tunes; man did they sound great. And again, sorry dissenters, but Let Me Roll It just simply rocks! The audience loved it. And "1985", please. One of the biggest responses of the night. Hate to say this, but Four Five Seconds kind of rocked! And Benefit For Mr. Kite is simply amazing. The presentation is remarkable. Okay fellow McCartney fans, I could go on and on, just trust me. Paul's voice was outstanding; the crowd had a blast; and my ears are still ringing!! A simply amazing, thoughtful, exciting ROCK SHOW!!!!

I'm so happy to see that others thought this show was epic. So did I! Also happy to see others agree that his voice was awesome. His voice was amazing!! I saw him in 2005, and his voice was now was better than it was then. His voice was strong and spot on. I loved the jams at the end of Let Me Roll It and I've Got A Feeling. Those were special, magical moments for me when I was carried away by the music in a trippy sort of way. Very cool indeed. I love Temporary Secretary, always have. Glad he's still doing it. Glad he does lots of stuff from Wings and solo days. Wish he'd do even more solo stuff. Not only was Macca spectacular, so were the others. Man, Abe works hard! All in all, I think this show was better than than the 2005 show. I'm still not down from my high, but the depression that it's over is beginning to sink in. In was an unbelievable, remarkable evening. Like everyone else said: EPIC!!!!!

Lovely to read your reviews. Thanks. Makes me determined to go again when he's in my neighbourhood. I hope Paul is having a good summer holiday now. (And all of you also, of course.)

Epically late commenting on this thread, but we had such a fantastic time at the concert in Omaha! We did make a sign for my son (complete with flashing LED lights) and got a lot of comments and birthday wishes from passerby, but I think I was a bit too timid with holding it up to get the crew's attention. I just hated the idea of angering everyone behind me. It was literally the best way for a Paul-loving kid to spend his birthday (despite the lack of Paul playing "Birthday!") No idea if I can link this, but there are a couple pictures/video clips on my instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BW788SnDnlV/?taken-by=lovespickles First concert for me despite being a fan for many years and would already love to see him again! Glad to hear everyone else enjoyed their evening!
