Well done guys, although I wish there was a slightly farier way, like a lottery. Had to try getting this during work and with awful internet.

Will actually be in London tomorrow (traveling from the US) and just curious as to where the arena is in London. Got busy 6 days in London with theater, ballet and seeing the sights. Looking forward to being in London during Christmas season.
You'll have a great time, lots of stuff to see if you haven't been before.

Wonderful show, incredible from a 76 year old. Not too sure about I Saw Her Standing There tonight Also would have liked to see Penny Lane, but the overall performance was brilliant.
Haha, I hope my "..."'s were clear (I saw a live stream.)
Glad you enjoyed the show! Interesting how 'Penny Lane' is now a no-go. In 2015 he soundchecked it, didn't play it. In 2018 he teased it on social media, didn't play it. To be fair, in 2010 I heard it during an open air rehearsal in Dublin, and he was absolutely struggling through it, also with the combination of that complicated bass line and singing at the same time. And this was during his last good vocal years...
Yes I got it Didn't know there was a live stream of the show. Makes sense regarding Penny Lane, although I thought Maybe I'm Amazed sounded better than in 2015. The merchandise wasn't great IMO, I didn't like any of the t shirts so I settled for a poster.
I agree on the merchandise. T-shirts left a lot to be desired. I was hoping for one that had just the Liverpool show but none to be seen.
Even though I was prepared it was still shocking not to hear Yesterday. I also purposely avoided listening to the new Egypt Station songs until I heard them live. I thought they were great.
No "Yesterday"?!?!?! He HAS to perform that when he tours the states next year. I will cry if he doesn't.
What was the opening song?
A Hard Days Night

Yep I wanted one with just Liverpool on it as well. Yesterday needed to be included, the crowd were great on Hey Jude and going into Yesterday would have been well received. Agree with the ES songs, apart from Fuh You which everyone left to get drinks lol.

Hey everyone!
Basically, it was incredible!! A wonderful day!!! The new songs are excellent and yes a few changes to the set list. Everyone was so happy to be there and the studio was fantastic. We got to speak to both Johnny and Orlando too, both really lovely!!
We weren’t allowed phones in the building but the whole thing was filmed and Mary McCartney took lots of crowd photos too, so that’s something to look for!
He told some interesting stories about Abbey Road which I hadn’t heard before, including smoking in a room out back so that George Martin didn’t find out! He also went to a really old piano in the corner and played Lady Madonna. Explained the piano belonged to someone way back when, and he used to play on it back in the day too.
Overall an amazing day, it’s all a bit too much really! Still can’t believe it!
I am so jealous, but your entry video was great and you deserved it! Did anyone get to hug Paul or talk to to him? Were all the winners from the U.K.?
Bumping this up - are you still around Katie, or are you floating “High In The Clouds?”
I am indeed! There was about 20 if us, all UK based although there were two lovely American ladies and one Australian lady (both lived near London). Seems like I travelled the furthest- from Leeds- about 2 and a half hours on the train. Didn’t get chance to talk to Paul but we were incredibly close and a few got a handshake!
Only 20 Thought it would've been more.
What was your favourite of the new songs?

One aspect of the Beatles-heavy set-list which I find intriguing is that three of the songs (One After 909, I've Got A Feeling & Get Back...none of which were recorded at Abbey Road incidentally) are all from the Let It Be album. I wonder if Paul is using this new tour (2018 / 2019) as a way of promoting a 50th anniversary issue of Let It Be (album / film) in 2020?
He plays I've got a feeling and Get back quite regularly, doesn't he? I thought he might promote the White album 50th anniversary album this tour.

I’ve been here for about three hours.
The event is now over as they are loading all the gear onto a big truck. A lot of MPL flight cases etc.
There are still about 70 people here hoping for a glimpse of Paul.
Johhny Depp arrived at 2:20pm so I would guess that the event started soon after.
Frustrating that none of the fans out front got into the event...
Yeah I was there too, disappointed that no one else got in. Looking forward to watching the gig, if they release it.
