I'll put some context to that mini rant, it's just when he started got to get you into my life I surprised myself by selling up from nowhere - it reminds me of all the gigs I've been to, he played it at my first in 1990, buying revolver Xmas 86, just my life. Paul's been my life, as he is for many here, but when you older (47) and an illness that gives you an uncertain future, you realise what has meant things to you the most, and Paul has made me so happy. And I'm happy he's still here, and his voice isn't what it was but it's not that bad. I get sick of negativity from fans. I love him, I'm glad he's not dead. And I wish I wasn't ill. Night night, I'm watching Paul on telly.

Thank you for your posts @Eeee Cor Blimey; even if you're "knackered," you've expressed my same sentiments. Best wishes to you for better health.

Happy Birthday, Paul. There are times I get a bit irked by some things he does or wonder if a rockstar is really worthy of the adulation and reward heaped upon him, but this tour reaffirmed for me why he’s deserving — the joy he brings so many people is unrivaled, and especially at this time I know I’m not alone in how much I needed it. This tour also reaffirmed for me that he does what he does just because he loves it, yet also goes above and beyond to give extra to the fans, and those of us who were following him on this tour know what I mean. Thank you Paul for being my inspiration for three decades. Love you.

Did anybody else find it ironic that Paul had the time with the band to quickly "learn" "Glory Days" but he can't seem to have time to rehearse new songs from "McCartney III" to play on tour.

Nope! Most of us are just enjoying the shows and appreciative when he continues to do fun, different things at 80 years old. Thank you Paul for another great show and fantastic tour!

The above pic of Paul and James in the studio is from 2013, not 1997. They were working on James' album ("Me," I assume).

Hilton Hotel photoshoot. What year? Kestrel?

At a guess early 90's, perhaps 1992? Difficult one...what do you reckon?

Sounds about right. Will have to find some known photos to compare.

It was November 1987 at the George V Hotel in Paris. Some of the other photos from the shoot were discussed in another thread. Photo credit Jean-Claude Deutsch for Paris Match / Getty.

@RADIANCE the anniversary signs I've seen have usually said something like "Spending Our [6th] Anniversary With You."

There will of course be many fans up front who have signs and Paul still devotes a portion of the show to reading them, which is the time most hold them up.

Best of luck and Happy Anniversary!

Once he married Nancy, the dedications to a previous wife stopped... as they should.

He continued dedicating it to her for several years after his marriage to Nancy. I know I saw it as recently as 2017.

She wasn't "a previous wife," she was a beloved wife and mother of his children who died.

You Never Give Me Your Money started at "Out of college..." instead of "Any jobber...". He might make his way back to the beginning of the song by the end of the tour.

He started on "Out of college..." at Spokane too.

FWIW I got my Spokane email 3 days before the show, which was the latest I'd gotten one. SLO may be a bit behind this year.

Hot City Horns (the horn section) posted the "I Am Playing Glastonbury" logo on their Instagram... take what you will from that!
