OK, friends...confession time: Paul sounded great! Unfortunately, Rod and I made the mistake of arriving way too early...the heat, combined with walking over 20 miles, forced us to leave the concert early. We were absolutely exhausted. I got terribly sunburned, and I developed a rash...awful. Also, Rod and I were seemingly the only people there NOT on some sort of drug. I will never do Bonnaroo again (sober.) We left after "Another Day." So, other than "Hi Hi Hi," I got to see the songs I wanted to see most. I am DEFINITELY going to try and see Paul during the fall leg of the tour, when the new album is released...somewhere, hopefully.
Hopefully, this song I wrote/recorded will serve as a sufficient penance for missing so much of the concert. My very spur-of-the-moment song about my experience seeing Paul McCartney at Bonnaroo 2013! ... I love that improvised "Bonnaroo Jam" that Macca and his band did at soundcheck the night before, so I "borrowed" the hook for this song's groove. Enjoy! (please don't expect Sgt. Pepper, folks...this thing was literally written in minutes...LOL!) Thanks to FansOnTheRun for the inspiration for the title! (song) MACCA'ROO! (I Saw Paul McCartney at Bonnaroo!):
(all instruments/vocals: Audi) lyrics - macca'roo lyrics - VERSE1: Through the gates Couldn't hardly wait For "the cute one" to hit the stage But after nine hours I ran outta' power Headed back to the cage Jim James is a rock & roll jesus But not enough He just couldn't please us Only Macca can send us into a rage CHORUS: MACCA'ROO! MACCA'ROO! I SAW MACCA AT THE 'ROO! VERSE2: I learned at Bonnaroo 'cos I never knew Bruthas need sunscreen Preoccupied I found myself sun-fried But it didn't kill the dream I took a DIIV, felt Passion Pit's vibe' But, like at dawn Couldn't fight the yawn Ooh, Lawd! Now I'm smellin' green! (chorus/guitar solo/bridge) VERSE3: Helluva light show Balanced out the freak-show Surrounding me and mine I listened to what the man said Wiser than deadheads who were Amusing my valentine If I were 21, mighta' been more fun But still Macca's still "out there" I'll catch the next one But my body's telling me It's bed-time! (chorus) -

^^^What side were you on? The left pit was super organized, the security did a really good job of kicking out all of the people who tried to cut in line and even divided us up into groups of 200 to make sure no one was pushed or trampled while going into the pit. They really did an A+ job, totally the opposite of what I've seen at most festivals (and that includes Roo two years ago).
I didn't even know there was a left pit! We were on the right. None of that happened on the right side, although they did section us off according to a guy who was holding up a sign. But it was still very uncomfortable because we had to stand so tightly packed for the entire Wilco set to maintain our positions in line.The Safety people were told when there were line cutters, but claimed they couldn't do anything.

Yep, there are two lines on each side of the pit to get in. Normally its divided into two sections, but for Paul it was just one big pit. Weird that security said they couldn't do anything, they kicked out tons of line cutters on the left!

Hi everyone! I haven't posted since I'm still here on the farm and my phone keeps dying but just wanted to share that I was front row rail!! Also he answered my sign by saying, "Hi Hope!" Also the walrus he sang to was mine! My brother threw it!! I would gladly share pics if anyone wants but I'm unsure of how to do that on here with my iphone. If anyone wants me to post some please let me know how to do so. Thanks!
Congrats, would love to see a photo of your walrus, I think every review of the show that I read mentioned Paul singing to it. But I don't know how you can post pix from your phone, either. ops:
I heard Paul say' Hi Hope' you need to doen load the pics to your computer - than you can up load them~ any foto site...

Probably can't, rights might belong to Bonnaroo or something.

No one can find it there either.

One of the surgeons (ENT--he operated on my son's nose) at work went to Bonnaroo and he usually is in Day Surgery but he sought me out in the Main O.R. to talk about going to Bonnaroo and how great Paul was! He was just raving about him. I told him about my experience in Memphis. He's too young to have seen the Beatles in the '60's and was about 13 in '76 so maybe he was a Wings fan!

Paul arriving. This is about the biggest escort I've seen so far.

Have you seen this 66-minute video recording of the soundcheck?
