Just back. Amazing show. Was in the 4th row. VIP entrance right by us. Saw Stella and Cameron Diaz come in together. They sat in the stands about 5 rows up from the floor. Couldn't help but watch Stella dancing and having fun. Also saw Bloomberg come in and Paul Simon. As for the show. Excellent voice tonight. I know you guys bag on Mr. Kite but it was great. Right in Paul's non lossy vocal range. And a new parent with a 1 year old who loves All Together Now, I thought it really worked. The highlight was high high high. Killer. Weirdly, Another Day dragged. What a strange slow version. And a question, who leaves during the final song? What is wrong with people?

Anyone there for limo watch? Any indication where his arrival is outside the arena? We just got to the city today, and are going to Monday's show. Would love to see him arrive, but don't know where he'll be coming in! We drove across the Brooklyn Bridge tonight around 7:00 and were going to drive by the arena to scope things out, but that would have been too much of a tease seeing the crowd there. Although i am going Monday, i would have felt awful going by a Macca concert and not actually going! LOL Sounds like tonight was a great show by the way!

People who have trains to catch, I think. Lots of people left during Paul's set at the 12-12-12 concert because he started so late. Thanks for the review. I dont know why Paul is doing Mr Kite but I have enjoyed the performances.

Any setlist anomalies?

Just got back from Barclays- what an amazing performer Paul is. This is the eight time I have seen him and he's getting better all the time. I must say I was sitting on the floor in section 5 row one and the security from Barclays was the most annoying thing you could imagine. They kept going back and forth as if there was something that was wrong (there wasn't). A little too self important if you ask me. People on the floor shouldn't have to keep asking the security guards to move!! Alas, I am seeing Paul again on Monday, but in the nosebleed section this time. Can't wait for Monday!!!! Come back again next year Paul. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just back from the show. It started much later than I thought it would. He took the stage around 8:50. Is that normal for this tour, or was he just late tonight? Highlight for me was Maybe I'm Amazed. His voice sounded so strong! I though All Together Now was great too, but I was partial to all the songs I never heard him sing before. I avoided all videos of the songs he premiered on this tour and was glad I did. Loved Your Mother Should Know and Rita, and Hi Hi Hi was a real thrill. Barclays is a great venue too. He seemed particularly chatty tonight ... same stories, but a bit more embellishment. I have two seats for Mondays show -- Section 8 Row 4. Great Seats and I can't go. If anyone is interested in them for face value let me know.

I managed to do "the watch" and it was great! Closest I've ever been to Paul. The SUV practically stopped in front of us and he did his wave and thumbs-up for us. He looked great in his shades! It was easy to find the spot: just walk around to the back of the arena. Police and barricades there. I think he arrived about 5:20 P.M. Good luck!

just got 2 $99 tickets from ticketmaster in section 212...
Hey! That's where I was sitting! (I really didn't like it, though. Much too steep for me; took awhile to calm myself down from what felt like an anxiety or vertigo attack starting! Small seats, not much room to walk or stand up. Wouldn't want to be in that section ever again, thanks. I got better when Paul showed up, though!)

Wow-- Just got back from Barclays. Our train wasn't until 1:06... Anyways, BRILLIANT gig. Bathroom lines out the door during My Valentine. Louder than the past, and the gig seemed to go by much faster. Enjoyed every second of it, can't believe it happened. Cue: post concert depression

The setlist I posted earlier appears to be incorrect, pulled it from an article but found I've Just Seen A Face on youtube when it says Things We Said Today in the article. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/paul-mccartney-rocks-barclays-center-article-1.1367299

Yes, he was later tonight. Usually starts between 8:30 - 8:40. Probably had a lot of backstage visitors tonight from his NY friends and family!
