Thanks. I'll add the photo of us as soon as I receive it. Might be awhile, but that's ok.
I'll probably add concert pics to my blog later today. They didn't come out very well, but it's all good. lol -

Wow. The arrogance. "If you missed the show, it was your fault." Whaaaaaaaattt??? Yeah, leaving four hours early isn't enough time in San Francisco.

:Totally agree with you. Why is it that a stadium that can hold 70,000 during football season, has never had this problem when the 49'ers played there? Something went horribly wrong.

A 49er season ticket holder since the 70s and have never heard of such a fiasco getting in or out of the stick even for play off games, etc. My hotel was 5 miles away and I didn't get there till almost 2 am. So sorry for those who missed it completely. Can hardly believe it!

I am just stunned at the arrogance of Gregg Perloff It was difficult to enjoy the concert knowing all my friends and co-workers from SF never got in. Also, Candlestick has always been extremely poorly managed by the city of SF. - It can take 1.5 hours to get in to the parking lot, and 2.5 to leave. The promoter should have stepped up a TINY bit. The biggest error is lettng in 2,000 tailgaters without tickets to the parking lot. listen to this guy! http://www.kgoradio.com/common/page.php?pt=Thousands+Get+Candlestuck+at+Paul+McCartney+Candlestick+Show&id=87074&is_corp=0

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing!
even got a mandatory butt shot! -
Lucky I got into the venue with plenty of time to spare, and seein g Long Tall Sally played was worth every cent and every flying hour from Australia.

So sorry to hear that folks never made it in!!! I couldn't imagine. We moved from center city to a much closer hotel the day before because many of the folks that live out there warned us about traffic. We were in the lot at least a hour and a half after the show but I'm not complaining!

Thanks LadyMadonna for sharing the nice bunch of photos. I'm sure you had a WONDERFUL time!!!
