I'm still on such a Paul high - and it's very difficult to work!! Paul was on fire, and I imagined he would be in Memphis! Going with great friends - and seeing many others - was the icing on the cake! SO glad this show ended up working out for me!!
he he he agreed.

OMG! I think I can see myself sitting in my seat! (F2, Row D, Seat 14) The show was awesome and I will post pics when I have more time. Drove 5 hours yesterday Louisville to Memphis, and 6 hours today Memphis to Atlanta!
so your thoughts on the platform Nancy?
Well, it was kinda cool in that when he was up there he was so close I could here him tapping his toes during Blackbird, but if the dang thing was not there, I would have been 10 feet or more closer to him for the majority of the show! I would rather it not be there, but I heard that Paul loves it, so it will I'm sure stay.

That's you, really great to meet you!!
You too! It was so cool since I wore my PMc t-shirt otherwise you might not have asked who I was! Had a blast at the soundcheck & concert and our "after party." Thanks for the drinks--I was totally parched after screaming and singing for 3 hours! BTW, there was a guy sitting behind me a few rows and to my left so he was in F3 maybe row 9 or something and he had on the same t-shirt, Youngish , maybe late 20's, early 30's, looked like John Lennon with same color long hair & wirerims. Who are you? If you're reading this, reveal yourself!

thanks for all the photos, FOTR and everyone. Memphis was a *great* gig. and just to comment ---Big Barn Bed during soundcheck was beyond awesome and I believe he just segued into it since he had finshed Ram On on uke, then started singing the coda that's on the album "who's that running". I thought, "ok wow, the real ending of Ram On, cool" but then he started singing Big Barn Bed. I still kept expecting him to stop....nope! band had to keep up.

i can only imagine...lol. just hearing that the song is still active in his mind awesome! one of my favorite Wings songs and my favorite from the James Paul McCartney tv special. how did he sound on it? was it softer with the uke or was he belting it out?

Sarah, Cindy enjoyed meeting you, Alvita, and Keri on the way to our seats. Glad you had fun. Hope you didnt have too much problems with getting a hotel room. My high school friends from Mississippi also had reserved rooms at the Westin. They didnt even get a notification that their room had been cancelled till they attempted to check in. Needless to say, they were not happy!

Wix, Rusty, Abe, and Brian all toured Graceland and Sun Studios. A rather cool story about Abe, who I managed to meet Saturday. A friend of mine's daughter works at McEwen's restaurant downtown. Evidently all of the guys in the band, sans Paul, had dinner there on Friday night. They enjoyed the food so much they ate there Saturday night as well. On Saturday, Abe gave every employee in McEwens tickets to the concert! How cool is that folks!! He seemed like he enjoyed having his picture taken with me as well. No one else knew who he was except me.

Yes. Here is my video of that one.
