I didn't like the security staff working at the venue
Why a bit overzealous? Its Macca not Megadeath surely no need for the rough stuff.
I'd say so I went the toilet and when I went to return to my seat the was two security staff who wouldn't let me return to my seat I had to walk to the other side to get back to my seat. I got back to my seat so wasn't that bothered but couldn't get me head round why they did that
-
The security was absolutely draconian after the invasion during 1985!
-
Well, compared to my previous gig - 2003 Vienna - now it was rather liberal actually. Back then you couldnt move one centimeter away from your seat, like for example to dance in the aisle, not to mention that all cameras were strictly confiscated, while yesterday everyone was filming..

Just back from Warsaw, where to start, well left London Stansted yesterday morning, also got chatting to a few people who were also seeing Paul. Arrived to a temperature of 26 degrees, it sure was hot! Got to the stadium just after 5pm and joined the queue, Paul was still soundchecking, heard him do Whole Lotta Shakin, Things we said Today and Two of Us before I found the place to collect my ticket. Was sat in block B5 not a bad seat tbh was sat next to a guy from Finland who was just a tad over excited at the prospect of the concert!! Anyway Paul came on just after 9pm, fantastic show, highlights for me Eight Days a Week, Listen to what the man said, We Can Work It out, Lovely Rita, Another Day and Your Mother Should Know. The Crowd really loved Mrs Vandebilt and Ob la di, but it was a bit muted during Mr Kite. As Cfergoid mentioned about the Hey Paul signs that we all held up, you could see Paul was touched by that. Only minor point was that it would have been nice to hear something else instead of IJSAF. Next stop Vienna

That's strange I did the same and there was no issue at all just had to show my ticket, where abouts were u sitting.

Its a different world now,you simply cant stop people filming with the cameras in the phones etc the sooner artists accept it the better.

I know, i know, but it wasnt just phones, big cameras too - security made no problem for that. And overall i found the staff quite nice and helpful, really, and quite well organised.

A3 row 13 I went the bar a few times and they was ok with that!! If I was drunk then maybe I could understand why they was being like that but when I went along to another entrance to my seat they let me so I don't know The security at the front told me to leave me camera and collect it after the show I sneaked it loads of people by me had video cameras mobile phones etc

My favourite songs last night had to be Juniors farm Your mother should know Mr kite Not normally a fan of hey Jude but the hey Paul was really good and the crowd seemed to enjoy it Live and let die live is amazing

Just back from Warsaw, where to start, well left London Stansted yesterday morning, also got chatting to a few people who were also seeing Paul. Arrived to a temperature of 26 degrees, it sure was hot! Got to the stadium just after 5pm and joined the queue, Paul was still soundchecking, heard him do Whole Lotta Shakin, Things we said Today and Two of Us before I found the place to collect my ticket. Was sat in block B5 not a bad seat tbh was sat next to a guy from Finland who was just a tad over excited at the prospect of the concert!! Anyway Paul came on just after 9pm, fantastic show, highlights for me Eight Days a Week, Listen to what the man said, We Can Work It out, Lovely Rita, Another Day and Your Mother Should Know. The Crowd really loved Mrs Vandebilt and Ob la di, but it was a bit muted during Mr Kite. As Cfergoid mentioned about the Hey Paul signs that we all held up, you could see Paul was touched by that. Only minor point was that it would have been nice to hear something else instead of IJSAF. Next stop Vienna
I didn't realise you we're at the show! I though 'here we go again' when they kicked into IJSAF but it was a great version! I'm still in Warsaw and it's not such a nice day today, got caught in a heavy downpour for about an hour!

I'm still in Warsaw it's not a nice as yesterday when do you leave for home were are you flying 2

It did get a good reaction! Yes did a 24 hour journey, was worth it though! When I boarded the plane this morning the rain was easing off after a heavy morning downpour. I didn't get a chance to explore the city, enjoy the rest of your stay there.

The security didn't look in My handbag( in Italy they do it always) at all. I had inside iPhone, iPad and camera At the starting of th gig one man of the security told us to sit while everybody was standing and jumping...so I did the same! I loved YMSK and Live and let die but everything was wonderful . Paul is always the number 1. I hope a greatest gig next tuesday in Verona Italians fans are making a great welcome to him!I saw already everything

The show was spectacular, absolutely fantastic! I ended up in sector A4 row 16, so the view was magnificent and his voice sounded perfect! If anyone happens to stumble upon any recording of the whole show, I'm sure everyone would love to hear it! Paul speaking Polish - that's a memory I want to keep forever!

Are you in Friuli?? My wife's father is from a small town called Fanna. We were there and in Udine a few years back! LOVELY part of the world!

Wow! Words cannot describe how good Paul was last night in Warsaw. The looks, the voice, the charisma. Just... WOW! A night never to be forgotten. Glad I can relive the show thanks to the amazing pictures my wife took. Here's a couple of them for all of you to enjoy (it's hard to believe what a simple point-and-shoot camera can do):
