I'll be there with aakiboh! Time to get our running legs on!

Just got on here after returning to Chicago. Yes, that's us!
It was a long, hot, nerve wrecking day, but we ended up just where we wanted to be! It just took a sprint, some crying, my wristband not scanning, five minutes at the "Ticket Information" booth, more crying, a .8 mile sprint, and a verbal altercation with a guy who was "saving a spot for his sister" at the rail (even though he'd shown up at the gates at 10:50 (while us die hards got there at 6:40 a.m.). Luckily, security sided with me and made the guy scoot down. It was my lucky day, FOR SURE. Hell hath no fury like a Paul fan in distress.

He;s on here...but the quality is not so good.
That's for sure, even when I changed it to HD it sucked! And the video kept stopping! I got to see/hear most of it though. MIA was so much better than the SNL 40th anniversary show. Still not "great" like it used to be though.

You may have been on the wrong channel (there were 3 channels and Paul was on #1 at 9:15 pm EST)

It isn't like youtube where the quality just updates itself. I had to physically take the quality off of 240 and put it on 720. Not too much better though. Sounds VERY compressed. Also, who chose which songs will air? My Valentine?!? I know he plays it for Nancy but this is not how you gain attention.
Yeah, they skipped a bunch. No Save Us. Now 1985.
Maybe I'm Amazed. Sounds, uhm, "better", but not great. The sound mixer for the broadcast completely missed the two guitar solos. There are always two different mixers for the actual festival audience versus the broadcast.
What do you mean he "missed it?" I heard both solos.

I watched the video on YouTube. First time I've listened to Paul do "Helter Skelter" since last summer. Sounds like he's changed/tweaked his vocal approach a bit since then.

Yeah, I noticed that in the Philly show in June, on several songs. He seems to have learned some new vocal techniques or tricks to help get him over the tricky parts, or at least help cover them up a bit. I was happily surprised at how much better he sounded than he had other times.

It was a North America exclusivity, everyone outside that saw Metallica instead.

He has indeed. Have a listen to him do it at Stockholm this year.

The streamed event was only highlights. You must be watching the youtube audience shot version which was the complete concert.

Yes, that's what I meant by "full concert" (the link that was posted earlier by Sgt._Pepper)

Thanks ever so much for this link. Great film, well done. Lovely to see after the concert I saw in Oslo on July 7.

I'm about a month late to the party, but thought I'd share my photos from this, since I got a few nice ones: https://www.flickr.com/photos/31264961@N02/albums/72157656719548975 Probably the only time I'll ever be front row at a Paul show, and every second of it was pure joy! This was my second Paul show, Firefly was my first ... I don't usually like to rank shows, but have to say these were my favorites (along with a Roger Waters show I saw this year) of everything I've been to. And that's out of a lot of different shows in my life. Jumping at the chance to do a couple more in Oct., can't wait!

Wow! You got some really great pics! You were dead center too! Thanks for sharing!

Glad you guys enjoyed them! My mom was nice enough to lend me her camera, which must have made her a bit nervous. Fortunately it was such a nice crowd, lots of friendly Paul fans around me ... tons of enthusiasm, but without the shoving and crushing that happens at some fests. Probably biggest danger to the camera was my own bad dancing/flailing.
