I agree. I posted some of their pics over in PM pics...lol. Yeah, what is up with Johnny Depp. I read something about his looks weeks ago but they brushed it off & didn't really say anything. Is he sick?

I thought I read something it might be for a movie role but I don't think that is it. Rolling Stone magazine had big article on him and believe it or not he is basically broke. Orlando Bloom did not look that great either.

The sad thing about this is it is a "secret" gig and free so McCartney does not owe audience anything. He could have tried some other songs he has never done live and maybe done 3-4 less Beatle songs. Begin with the hits, mix it up in the middle with songs from new album and other solo songs and wrap it up with some rocking Beatle classics. Wish McCartney would have used this show to "wing" it a little more and played songs like "Take It Away", That Was Me" or "I Can Bet" for example. Would have loved to hear the other new songs and actually a bit surprised he did not play "I Don't Know".

Hey everyone!
Basically, it was incredible!! A wonderful day!!! The new songs are excellent and yes a few changes to the set list. Everyone was so happy to be there and the studio was fantastic. We got to speak to both Johnny and Orlando too, both really lovely!!
We weren’t allowed phones in the building but the whole thing was filmed and Mary McCartney took lots of crowd photos too, so that’s something to look for!
He told some interesting stories about Abbey Road which I hadn’t heard before, including smoking in a room out back so that George Martin didn’t find out! He also went to a really old piano in the corner and played Lady Madonna. Explained the piano belonged to someone way back when, and he used to play on it back in the day too.
Overall an amazing day, it’s all a bit too much really! Still can’t believe it!

Hello everybody! I was wondering; did anything else happen during the gig? Anything worth mentioning, like introductions to the new songs maybe or possible recordings of this performance? How did Paul sound today?
Looking at the setlist, it strikes me that 'I don't know' is missing. That's remarkable right? And even though I would be so thrilled to see him perform this setlist or any setlist at all, I do think that they haven't used all the new material that they have been rehearsing. I think they still have something up their sleeve for the upcoming gigs and concerts.
However, these are good times! With all the things happening! Enjoying it! Everybody have fun following/attending it all!
