I've written customer service twice and no reply at all. Does any one have any additional suggestions?

VIP Package Deliveries -- Summer Shows
Has anyone/every one received their VIP packages from the summer shows? We had a Gold Hot Ticket package for Met Life and have yet to receive the goodies. I don't remember it taking this long in the past! What about others?

RE: East Rutherford, NJ - MetLife Stadium- August 7th - ARCHIVE
I thought last night's show was particularly strong. The playing was spot on; despite this boards' persistent set list critiques, it was varied and mixed especially for a stadium show; his voice was largely on except for a few missed falsettos (compensated by some hearty Macca howls). Most of the songs have new visual elements (even if still in a familiar range). Paul looked a little more tired than I've seen before, and I didn't get the sense that he was having as much fun as usual (or as usually projected). I snapped about 300 photos and he's only smiling in a dozen! Highlights included strong versions of Letting Go, I've Got a Feeling, the busker versions of We Can Work It Out and You Won't See Me, Something, Four Five Seconds, Band on the Run and a surprisingly robust Hey Jude.

RE: Where does Nancy usually sit?
My daughter and I were in the 12th row center the second night at Barclays in Brooklyn a few years back, on the aisle. She spent the whole concert standing there -- her dad was apparently in the seat just opposite me in the next section. She's even prettier in person.

RE: Paul McCartney & Taylor Swift sing 'Shake It Off'
I continue to be amazed at how uptight and/or close-minded Paul's fans are about who he chooses to collaborate with -- or in this case, have some fun with. He grew up in a family where people just gathered around the piano and sang songs -- friends, family, neighbors, it didn't matter. How is this different than what he has been doing all his life? And get off your pompous high horses -- Taylor Swift can write a catchy pop tune. She has done it for a good six or seven years now, which suggests it isn't a fluke. Sure, they can be lightweight and sentimental and sometimes deceptively simple... Um, sound like anyone else we know? Frankly, Spies Like Us -- and its video -- is far more embarrassing than anything he has done recently. And, by the way, even when he collaborates with musical geniuses, the results aren't always that special ("Ebony and Ivory," "The Girl is Mine," "Mr. Moonlight."

RE: FourFiveSeconds- new collab. with Rihanna, Kanye and Paul
Great summary, Rambling Red, and something that really sets Paul apart from any contemporary (of any age)!

This Will Make Some of You Even More Bonkers-Paul & Gaga
Looks like Paul has another contemporary collaboration going: http://instagram.com/p/yqWYNppFFt/ http://instagram.com/p/yqWGm_pFFR/ I, for one, look forward to it. She's a very talented songwriter and singer.

RE: FourFiveSeconds- new collab. with Rihanna, Kanye and Paul
I find what's happening very interesting and refreshing. For one, it appears very likely that Kanye's new album will be very stripped down and organic -- and based on these two songs, certain;y some "White Album" and "McCartney" inspiration throughout. Paul's been smart not to appear on the vocals yet, though you figure he will on one of the next ones. And I'd love to see one with a killer melodic bass line. I'm not a fan of either Kanye or Rhianna, but I've love seeing the respect they are giving him on these songs. And by the way, you have to figure they will perform this live at the Grammy's next month.

RE: Only One- new song by Kanye West, featuring Paul
Well said.

Far from the "collaboration" I was expecting. Paul barely has his fingerprints on it.
Huh? Paul wrote the beautiful melody/music, plays the electronic piano, & provides background vocals. Its the minimalist approach to the music, a perfect fit to the lyrical content, that really makes the song standout. Paul particularly wrote the book on minimalist music with his late 60s/early 70s work from White Album to Red Rose Speedway, so I'll be thrilled if he returns to this style. Also, imo, the subtle use of auto-tune in the song was probably a choice of style over necessity. The lyrical context is from the perspective of an outsider, from a spiritual place, speaker to the singer. In this context, the autotune actually conveys this feeling well. Paul deserves to be back to the top of the charts in the U.S.!

RE: Only One- new song by Kanye West, featuring Paul
For those wanting to hear Paul's voice, the first time I pick it up is around 1:41 and again (auto-tuned) shortly thereafter.

I suspect he left lots of fingerprints on the only instrument played during the entire song (which just happens to provide the melody for the song and the one minute plus closing solo). Other than that, you're right.

RE: Only One- new song by Kanye West, featuring Paul
It's better than I expected -- actually quite interesting. Paul's organ playing has a subtle funkiness to it, and its telling that Kanye let it solo for more than a minute to close the song. Paul's harmony vocals can be heard at least twice toward the middle of tack -- once clearly, once auto tuned.

RE: Albany, NY - Times Union Center - July 5, 2014 - ARCHIVE
sirpaul64:
Speaking of being Amazed... did anyone else catch the lyrics flub at the beginning of Maybe I'm Amazed? And that guilty smile on Paul's face!
Now that's funny -- my daughter and I both caught the sheepish smile, but we thought it was because he started off just a little shaky on the first couple of lines. (His voice caught up quickly however! Will need to go check out the video....

RE: Albany, NY - Times Union Center - July 5, 2014 - ARCHIVE
My tenth full-length show and each one continues to be a pleasure, even with the familiarity of certain songs and spoken bits. I enjoyed the addition of the five NEW songs, especially thought Save Me and Everybody Out There were well done. He seemed to jam longer on a few of the older songs (though the The End solo battle seemed short). My 13-year-oldson (second show) was blown away by it all, and my 19-year-old daughter (fifth show) equally so (though like me she can now spot the flubs and predict the moments). Given how sick we all feared he was, it was an especially rigorous performance and he continues to amaze.

I'd be happy to see Newman if it means that we get Appreciate live. And I'd really love for Early Days to replace Here Today. It's a better song and at this stage more meaningful.

RE: Albany, NY - Times Union Center - July 5, 2014 - ARCHIVE
The Crowdsurge site is basically useless, isn't it? Not once has it indicated that even one ticket, at any price, in any section is available. I ended up biting the bullet and went with the Gold Hot Sound, row K, section 3, near the middle aisle. I was hoping to do "normal" $253s this time, but got tired of trying. In the end, 11th row is not bad, as long as I don't think of the cost!

RE: Albany, NY - Times Union Center - July 5, 2014 - ARCHIVE
Ugh, pretty sure the queue was a dead end. Went in through another computer, and got seating map, but no way to select seats. Ticketmaster also being stingy.

RE: New Orleans/Louisville/Albany/Pittsburgh - Pre-sale Thread
On my main computer, the "queue" never moved. Just tried another and got in to Albany, but just a seating chart, no way to select seats. Frustrating.

RE: Albany, NY - Times Union Center - July 5, 2014 - ARCHIVE
Any body know where the seat numbers start in sections 1 and 3 -- that is, are low number inner aisle or outer?
