Sound Check
-
treu:
I would like to ask you in what time Paul usually does soundcheck? I've read somewhere it's around 5pm. Is it true?
For the soundcheck in vienna 2013 McCartney entered the stage around 4:40pm in the case of amsterdam (second concert) 2015 he had same delay and performed the first song (Honey don't) around 5:50pm. He left the hotel last Saturday in Duesseldorf 4:15 pm that means 5:00 should be an realistic time at the moment. By the way I got the info that we have to arrive for the soundeck in Berlin for 3:30pm. Is this the same time like in Madrid, Paris ...?
-
Paris was 3.30 too and the SC started at 4.30 so there was just enough time to avoid any rush. I wonder how it worked out in Madrid for the SC people as it was a GA show too, can't imagine there would have been less of a dash to make it to the rail for the show

We got lucky in St. Louis without knowing it. We were in the front row and in the center. Some of the "regulars" came later and ended up behind us and off to the sides.
Were you the one who had, I think a green special Macca shirt on at breakfast in St. Louis?
Yes, we were. My friend made the shirts. You stopped by our table.

Rainy not, but it was November and it could have been snow.

Last year at a Soundcheck,we were told to line up before going into the arena. As we were being led in -all of us in a nice row - a couple of Fans on the Run walked past everyone, laughing & walked right to the front of the line & made sure they got the center space first .More than a few were mad that they were allowed to get away with that.

^^ well they won't be laughing when they are replaced. It won't be long. "women they will come and they will go..." - Stevie Nicks

So you are inferring (or have knowledge) that some of the fans who go to a lot of concerts are groupies?

It was snowing on the way in to the concert.

I have spoken my truth as I know it. I don't need anymore problems in my new life I have now. All I can say is I have already made the statement and it is clear what I have stated. I am not the only person who knows it. Thank you.??

My significant other is a HUGE Stevie Nicks fan. He would like reading this.

I know since it was my first soundcheck, I was in la la land, but it was raining when I walked from hotel to venue and then from venue and back to hotel. I don't recall any snow and my friend has never mentioned any snow in St. Louis.

Question: Wonder what Fan On The Run and others who have seen 50+ soundchecks do with all those backpacks?!
I know what one wonderful fan did with three of those extra backpacks!

I have a soundcheck at Fenway for my family of 4, including two kids. Is there a good place to stand in line when they line you up in order to be in the front? If you are among the first in line, do you get to stop where you want, or do they lead you to where they want you to stand? Where is the right place to be in line if you want a good location?
My wife and I will also be at SC Fenway. This will be our first ever soundcheck! I will likely wear my McCartney Jersey...

Usually within a week of the show, you'll receive soundcheck instructions via an e-mail from "SLO Customer Service". Have a great time!!

I doubt they bother with the groupie experience anymore !-- anybody in Paul's band and Paul himself. However when I noticed Paul plays "You Won't See Me" in concert now, for some reason I thought, "He must fancy some chippie," and felt kind of jelly but that's not a big put down of the major music man, not at all. Married people can have crushes on someone, too. They're human.

Wonder if he will perform "My Love" there as requested by a dying fan and her husband. She said she would not make it there, but her husband would, and "My Love" has extra special meaning for the couple... so it will comfort her widower to hear Paul sing their special love song in concert. Yes, sadly, this brave lady stated she won't live to attend this concert
