      For me, I love walking in, buying merchandise, then running up the ramp and boom you're in the stadium.... Then you see the stage with the screens, speakers and the empty mics thinking 'wow, paul mccartney will be standing right there in 2hrs' What about you? I also love seeing the seats slowly fill up.

      7/15/11- Yankee Stadium
      6/8/13- Barclays Center
      7/5/14- Times Union Center
      8/7/16- MetLife Stadium
      9/15/17- Madison Square Garden

      Thank you Paul!

        The moment he first walks on to the stage and the huge ovation that follows.

        Maybe I'm amazed !!

            .... Getting there traveling there- wherever there is..... the anticipation... the pre-show... the beginning - the middle & never the end~

                I love the pre-show, due to sheer anticipation! And everyone is in such a good mood. Mind you, it doesn't lay a candle to the show - but there's such a buzz going on. Everyone is SO GLAD to be there.

                  The pre-show buildup to the moment when Paul and the band walk on stage is very special. Then the entire arena explodes with noise and excitement. It's not better than the concert itself, but it's a very special moment. I think it would be interesting to sit in on the decision making process on how they put that pre-show together.

                    I do love when he takes the moment to "drink it all in."

                        My favorite moments are when he tells a story or makes a comment that makes everyone laugh. When he really connects with the audience, and makes us feel like we are in his living room. Those are extra special moments for me.

                            I love it when he plays a song where I'm afraid if his voice can handle it and he just nails it!

                                Event though I normally feel physically sick with anticipation - I love the few minutes before Paul comes out. My heart is pounding, I have the shakes. It's like my body just can't take it. Then...THERE HE IS! Even typing this I have a HUGE smile on my face. It's hard to think of a happier moment than that. I'm lucky to have some special people in my life to share those moments with. When I think of concerts before I knew them and concerts over the past two years - there's really no comparison. It definitely adds something special to have people who completely "get it." BRING ON THE SUMMER!!!!
