I was there Friday on the rail in VIP--right in front of the right hand video screen. It was a bit blocked I could see Wix but not Abe. And those darn camera booms!! Aye-yi-yi!! I thought Paul was in exceptional form. I've seen him three other times since the tour started: Austin sound check, Austin 1st and 2nd nights, Bonnaroo soundcheck and Bonnaroo and I thought he was in his best voice Friday night at OL!! And jolly, OMG--he was dancing around and doing his Paul yelps and screeches more than I've ever seen before. He was positively radiating JOY!! I loved that he stepped outside the safety of the regular set list and did "SF Bay Blues". And when I saw that string quartet step onto the stage and knew they were going to accompany him on "Yesterday"--I thought I would burst!!! Whenever Paul says "Here we go" you know it's gonna be something special--and it certainly was! He was SURE WORTH the crazy drive up from SD, riding the BART into town,walking thru homeless folks at midnight, taking the shuttle bus where I dropped all of my id, money, credit cards, hotel room key cards, everything. But then the next day a nice person from the shuttle company tracked me down and brought everything to me at my hotel--not a penny missing. I love San Francisco and I LOVE Paul McCartney!! Those three hours with him on Friday night were some of the most joyful time I've spent lately!!
Glad you enjoyed your visit to my fair city! Stay longer next time!!! And I hope you didn't get heat stroke from our scorching summer weather. LOL.

'Magical Mystery Tour' replaced 'All My Loving'.
Yes I was very surprised when the opening cords to MMT started!
aw would've loved All My Loving. also wish I knew how to work my point-and-shoot's video mode for Maybe I'm Amazed...I thought I recorded it but I didn't push the record button hard enough
ops: oh well! really shouldn't be complaining
I still can't believe that was my first Macca gig. Everything worked out perfectly. I haven't read the thread since last week so maybe someone already mentioned this...the 2 girls who got their wrists signed...are they boardies? I brought my SLR and took nearly 1000 photos during Paul's set LOL I'd really like to share the pics I got of them getting autographed
couldn't stop screaming for them! so sweet!!! also did anyone at the barricade get good video of Maybe I'm Amazed? would love to see it

I think I would have been shaking like a leaf up there. But the big question: How did Paul smell? Good? Sweaty? Good and sweaty?

And a story in the Examiner: http://www.examiner.com/article/exclusive-interview-fan-s-dream-for-paul-mccartney-to-sign-her-arm-comes-trueAakiboh and Livia, Loved the video. My sister and I saw Paul in Philadelphia and I think the Pittsburgh concert was right after the show we saw. Loved that concert because he did a number of songs I never heard him do...Letting Go, 1985, I'm Looking Through You etc. It's so great to see young people into Paul's music. I'm 64 and first discovered Paul on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. The fun is that I still discover songs that Paul wrote that are so fabulous. Check U-tube for songs like "I'll be on My Way, World Without Love, Wings on a Nightengale, and Woman. So happy for you guys and San Francisco is such a great place to visit. I was a little disappointed that Philly was skipped on this tour but I will catch him next time.

. It was wonderful to see! I've been to 4 Paul concerts and this was the first time I got to witness people being brought up.

I'm still reeling from Friday night. I can't believe I got up to the rail. Directly in front of Paul, center. Never been that close and I even dealt with the 9 hours of no toilet.
He read my sign (silently) and I got a wink and gave him a thumbs up during the middle of Listen to What the Man Said...made my night. everyone on the rail near me saw it and were all cheering. Such a great moment for me. I didnt know how I would cope with a whole day in one spot but it really went by quickly. I loved the opening bands especially Band Of Horses, and conversed with all types of people. And Paul has never sounded better. That was one helluva show.

My video of San Francisco Bay Blues...major highlight. His little dance was adorable.

In a lunch-table conversation at work today, I found out that a coworker had attended most of Outside Lands. I asked her what the highlights were, and her answer was (I'm paraphrasing a bit here), "To my total surprise it was Paul McCartney." It turns out that she likes the Beatles in the sort of generic way that most people who aren't serious fans do, had paid little attention to Paul's recent material, and wondered if at 71 he could put on a show worth seeing. She was, in a word, totally blown away. She raved on at some length about Paul's showmanship and what a blast the audience had. I just smiled.

Hello All! I'm Livia, the girl who got signed first at the show on Friday. Took me a bit to get signed up over here because I still haven't come down from the clouds! I will never, ever in a million years forget this moment, and I am so grateful that Paul chose me! It looks like Alvita covered most of the bases as far as posting pictures, ect, but if anyone wants to see my full album of pics I you can check them out on my FB page. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10201692051285386.1073741828.1303076970&type=1&l=fdc9bd87bf Also, if anyone has any other photos or video of me getting signed by Paul, pass it along! I WANT IT ALL.

Yes,love that dance, he has been doing variations of it during soundcheck. And THANK YOU for sharing --now *that* is what I call a real concert video! Not like most of the cell phone rubbish on YouTube that masquerades as video. Your Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da is great, too. Thank you!

Well not all people who attend concerts come equipped with big photo cameras and video cameras so all they have are their cell phones to take video with. I know a lot of us on the board do but the average person doesn't.

Congrats Livia! What a wonderful experience for you! The look on your face when Paul put his arm around you was priceless!

I don't have a fancy camera. It's a small Sony with a pretty decent lens. Thanks for the compliments on the vid. And I have something to remember the show. Of course nothing compares to Livia's experience. But at my age, I can't expect that type of attention. I will be content with all the wonderful things that have happened to me...big and small. Outside Lands was pretty big for me...front row is pretty big for me.

I know what you mean. It makes me sad that Paul seems to only pull up the cute young girls. (No offense to McCartney (Harley Blues), but she was the exception to the rule)
