I cannot tell you enough just how utterly fantastic this picture is - GEDDY AND MACCA TOGETHER!!!!!
Well that was fantastic!
What a show!! Seeing so many icons sharing the same stage - and some of my heroes....just....wow!
So happy I got to see Macca! At first when he was talking, his voice sounded like I haven't heard him speak before. Well, he is 80 after all!
I knew that if he came out he would do Helter Skelter due to yesterday's tweet. But to hear him do Oh Darling with Chrissie Hynd..utterly superb. Just two songs! I so wanted them to go on forever or at least do one more!
What a superb gig. Not to mention seeing RUSH (Geddy and Alex) together again - the main reason I went, as well as the hope that Macca would be there. Just utterly,utterly brilliant!

I'm in London now and going to Henley-On-Thames tomorrow. we'll probably be knackered after a full day there. Would be cool to see Paul though! How much were the tickets you got? P,S. It's sold out.
We did see his London home on the 31st and a light was on in the ground floor left front room,
Well I am British and just a 45 train ride from Wembley.
I got restricted view tickets on Wednesday for little for than £60. So really not bad at all.
Let's keep our fingers crossed!!!
According to this rather solid evidence - it looks like he will perform.
I was surprised not to see his name originaly on the bill, I admit, but did think it could be a possibility.
Well, I admit that I am not the biggest FF fan however when extra tickets were released on Wednesday I snapped them up primarily as this would likely be the last time I would ever see Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee from RUSH play together. Plus so many other unique artists, some I have never seen before and wouldn't normally go out of my way to see. How could I not go?
But to have MACCA playing.....just how much better can you get!!!!!
Exoctement overload. But let's see what actually happens.
The concert will be streamed on YouTube tomorrow if you want to catch it, from about 4PM UK time.
Was there in person. Absolutely fantastic - a great, wide ranging and intelligent conversation and I haven't heard Paul speak so relaxingly and candid for quite some time. When you get a chance you MUST watch the stream!
Whilst at this point in time it's really hard to get any new information - many of the answers you will know and can almost read out as he's answering them - the conversation itself was enagaging throughout and the host Samira Ahmed (I think her name was) did a fantastic job and had clearly researched her subject well. She referenced past comments he made as well as the Barry Miles biog from 1997. Only question I didn't agree on was when she asked Paul for his thoughts on a new Bealtes attracrion in Liverpool, essentially: "Are you concerned that post Brexit, that the government may be trying to latch on to the Beatles in a nationalistic and jingoistic way?". Paul didn't see it that way. But I can't fault her for anything else - she was brilliant, whethers others in her role could have been out of their depth.
An interesting point to make that those of you who watched the stream may have missed: I had balcony seats. At one point when Samira played a clip after asking him about Lennon and their relationship - I cannot recall what exactly was prompted it - the stage lights went low so we could see the clip. Focusing in on Paul I was sure I could see him well up a bit, become emotional. After the show had ended, I spoke to a fellow fan who had better seats and said that it did indeed look like that. Also, when the I Saw Her Standing There clips was played, Paul shook his head slightly at the "wooo" bits!
Excellent night in the company and presence of Paul. Now to go and devour the books!

Well, I got lucky - the que-ing susem was ok and by 10:30 i was able to get front row balcony tickets! So elated!
But as Kestrel has said - with the winter and the possiblity of further COVID restrictions, the event may well be cancelled. A possiblity that the second Macca event I have a ticket for gets cancelled due to COVID. To hell with COVID!!
But I live in hope, we'll have to see. So I am keeping my expectations realistic but it will be utterly brilliant to be in attendance for such a important moment in his career - as this is indeed.
Anyone else here manage to obtain tickets?
I got tickets. I am flying in from New York on Thursday afternoon and returning Saturday morning.
Most airlines are doing free cancellations so I don't think its a risk booking tickets for it.
Excellent! I am thinking that tickets are really like gold dust for us fans who get to attend this prestigious event in person!
Pretty sure this is sold as a set of 2 books. The Penguin website advised not sold seperately.
"Some fans sent us some seeds, we decided to plant them and 5 of them came back as illegal".
Macca speaking after (one of) his arrest for growing weed and subsequent court case circa 1972.
