      I've got a question, I'm in row 17 for the Greensboro concert and I'm making a sign. I'm going for my birthday. How far back does Paul usually call people up on stage? I heard until row 20 or 25. Is this true?

        I sure hope the sign won't make any reference to your bizarre butt line there.

            I kind of find it funny that people are obsessed with his butt. Haha I never honestly expected it. Haha People love the old mans backside I guess haha. Plus with the calling up it pretty rare I believe. Trying to think back at all the reports I've heard and it doesn't occur too often, but it has been prevalent in during this tour it seems.

              I don't recall him ever doing it in 1976, 1989-90, 1993. Maybe in 2002? I don't know. By 2005 he started to do it. Again, not my favorite thing, but as was pointed out to me, it's his stage, he can do what he wants there!

                Not my favorite thing either. Might change my mind if it was me. The few times I've been present when it happened, I haven't figured out why that person got called up over the other people. In Nashville, a father and son were called up. Think dad gave kid a sign about how he wanted to sing with Paul. Son didn't even know the words to the song. Waste of time. Paul laughed and they got sent off the stage.

                  Too bad that time was wasted - the son probably won't treasure that magical time.

                    I'd just like to say I am spending a wad to stay in front of the signs. I hate them & so I buy the best seat I can so I don't cause a scene arguing with someone. Those signs are costing me plenty. ops:

                        You should check out the pic thread... there are a lot of McBuns fans on the forum.

                          ahhh McBuns...He loves to do his little wiggle to the audience,during the guitar solo in And I Love Her....He knows what he's doing !! LOL As far as signs,at one point of show he looks at the signs,everyone holds up their signs & he reads some of them.

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

                            Be sure not to hold your sign up constantly during a song! I made this rookie mistake my first ever concert because I made it especially for this song. I quickly realized how rude I was blocking the view of people behind me.

                                it's very rare that he calls people up at all...He sees probably 5-10 signs a show about it's my birthday, sign my this or that or I want to dance on stage....all pretty much played out but once a blue moon he feels the urge to pull someone up. However, it's usually someone young and attractive 90% of the time

                                  At least 90% of the time !I was at one show with a soundcheck call up. I had a "Group Hug" sign...& they picked the girls out....poodforpaul was 1 of them ! Paul says "Time for the Group Hug !, I had the sign,but no Group Hug for me....guess I didn't fit the percentage ! Oh well,

                                      Yea, Brian Riddle came over & told us Paul likes your signs -we had 2 group hug signs -,but when they came & pointed out who was to go on stage( 4 or 5 ) ..I wasn't one of them We had so many people come up to us after & say how unfair it was. I thought I was finally going to get close up to him..but no, guess it wasn't meant to be

                                          In 2010 my sign had nothing to do with being brought up on stage but was captured on the Jumbotron @ AT&T park in SF. Once that happened, I put it away as to not annoy the people behind me. I'd be SO afraid if I was to be called up on stage for fear of PIMP or fainting. And I agree with the poster about 90% of the time it is a young attractive female brought up. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Paul's human after all. In 2005 I brought a sign, held it up discreetly and only in between songs, and the person behind me was such a jack@$$, he yelled at me each time, it made me cry.

                                            Me too! I'd probably trip going up to the stage & knock Paul over or something else embarrassing! Lol
