      Man, I would love to get a hold of one of these... Has anybody gotten one at a gig before? Does he use the On the Run picks? Or just a plain pick? What color?

        I have the signature pick which came with premium membership and also a Flaming Pie pick. I don't know if each tour has a special pick but it would be a good addition to the store. Speaking of the store, just a heads up that they are closing out the Up and Coming tour books--get one free with $50 purchase through Feb. 9. http://paulmccartney.shop.bravadousa.com/Dept.aspx?cp=16558_59028

          I've seen many, many picks on eBay over the years and what I've determined, is that Paul AND the band have special picks for each show. From what I've seen, each pick has the band member's name on one side, and the venue/year on the other...pretty cool if you ask me!!! As for the store, I wish they would put up the merch from the 2012 On The Run Tour...there was A LOT I couldn't afford at the show...I wanted the picks they were selling and that Piano Print specifically.

            Yeah, there must be more leftover merchandise that could be sold there.

              I have 2 picks from a few years ago. They were handing them out at soundcheck and told us that all had been used by Paul. Both are black. One has "PAUL McCARTNEY" in red on one side and "US Tour" on the back. The other one has "PAUL McCARTNEY" in gold and a Flaming Pie pic in gold on the other side. Would be cool to actually get one at a show, but I love these just the same!

                My son was at Paul's concert at the Staples Center in LA on Nov. 29th. 2005. Paul's ex gave him a guitar pick that night. It's light blue with Paul McCartney printed in red.

                  Hi, this is my first post! I know there are lots of knowledgeable people on this forum, so I'm wondering if anyone can help me clear up something that happened at Macca's Chicago show last week. My girlfriend and I had the amazing good fortune to nab front row seats. About halfway through, Paul's guitar tech ran up to her, said something like "these are for you," and then ran back to the stage. She opened her palm to find two personalized Paul McCartney guitar picks. One said Out There 2014 and the other said New. So, the question is, do we have two genuine, McCartney-played picks?? I'm assuming we do, as I don't see any other reason his tech would frantically rush to and fro to give her these picks. Tis thread is the only thing I've found on the internet that deals with this kind of thing. If anyone has insights, please share! Jonathan

                          While you may never know if Paul ever "used" those picks, just the fact that Paul's guitar tech gave them to your girlfriend make them special. Welcome to the message forum...I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

                            I remember on the 1993 tour you could get handfuls of tour picks. Mind you, they were not played by McCartney, but it was a cool thing to get.

                                I think if Shelley is going to give them out,all the soundcheckers at ALL the shows should get one. How much time would it take to give us the pick as we are walking into the SC?. I know a couple of fans who always manage to get every freebie there is,every show they go to. I'm never one of them ! lol. I want one !

                                I go back so far,I'm in front of me

                                    I think maybe that in Chicago, Paul came on stage really quickly and there wasn't time for her to do it. The band is usually "out there" well before he arrives and there is lots of jamming going on while they wait for him. In Chicago, it seemed like they were all onstage and getting ready to start the jamming and then suddenly, there was Paul, no waiting.

                                      Everybody wants one of Paul's guitar picks so do I lol! I'd like to get one for my mom. She plays guitar. She is learning some Beatle songs on her guitars. She has about three or four guitars.

                                        Shelley had a few bags of these guitar picks that she was handing out at the sound check at Albany. I don't see any of the 2014 "Out There" picks on eBay yet. I figured someone would be trying to sell theirs by now.

                                          Maybe those bags were supposed to last the entire tour & she wanted to get rid of them all at the early gigs. LOL.

                                            They were small bags that probably contained 50 picks or so. It looked like they were sealed bags that she opened.
