We went to Ringo's 70th Birthday concert too....the recption Paul got when he came on stage was "off the charts"!!
It felt like the floor was moving...lol

I was just looking at Ringo's upcoming tour schedule...on June 15 (day before Paul's June 16 MetLife concert) he is in Baltimore.
He is "off" on the 16th..and playing in Massachusettes on June 17 (basically passing through New Jersey).
Maybe an encore performance at MetLife similar to Dodgers Stadium in 2019??
What are your thoughts?

The real kicker is - I can only go to Night Two (of a two-night stand). So I presume there will be less sound-checking than on Night One. Is that true? Can anyone speak from experience?
I'm also limiting what I'll spend, so sticker shock may, well, shock me.
Thanks!
I've been lucky enough to have attended nine McCartney soundchecks since 2010. I don't believe any of them was a "second night show", but I can't imagine the soundcheck length being any diffent from the first night. VIP packages that include the soundcheck as you may know are not cheap...in previous tours they ranged from $1500.00 to $2000.00 each...but in my opinion, for any McCartney fan they are definitely worth it! We'll find out tomorrow what the cost is for the new tour.
My wife would kill me or ask if I was crazy if I told her I wanted to spend that amount of money on concert/soundcheck just for me. To each their own, enjoy !!
While all of the soundchecks I attended were with my younger son, my wife actually attended the last one we went to in California and she really enjoyed it. Over the years it became more apparent that we don't know what the future will bring us. My life theory is to enjoy it while we can. I'm not saying blow your life savings and struggle to get by, but a "treat" now and then sure makes living fun. Just my 2 cents.

So great to have purchased two Hot Sound packages for my son James and me to close out Paul's "Got Back" Tour on June 16 at MetLife Stadium!!
We can't wait!
Hi DrivinFan!!
So glad you got tix! I remember you & your son and wife from San Jose.
We got tix for Oakland...row 4!!! Maybe I will have to drag out my "other sign". I did not see Hot Sound package offered on Ticketmaster.
That's great! Seems so long ago that we met up in San Jose and had our signs read by Paul! We'll touch base after the Oakland and Jersey shows to compare notes. Talk to you soon!

Yes...all sound check information will be sent to you via e-mail about a week before the show.
It will indicate when and where to report along with a few "do's and dont's" that you should be aware of.
If this is your first one...you're in for a real treat...this will be my 10th and I'm still psyched!!
How early does everything usually start with a Hot Sounds package? We just grabbed a pair for LA! The price was a little painful, but still super excited!
Depending on Paul's schedule, VIP's usually are asked to be there around 3:30 pm and the sound check can start anywhere from 4:30 to 5:00 pm. Your e-mail notification will advise you about a week before the show.

That may be tough to swing $$$ wise. That's more than my first car!
I saw Paul in 91 in Atlanta and 14 at Candlestick. My attitude is I want the best experience possible, for who knows when it will happen again, but not at the expense of missing a house payment...! Phew!
No...you don't want to do that!

Any rumors of 2nd dates being added to various venues?
I'm thinking Hard Rock and Baltimore will get a second show; but then again Paul may need to rest his voice between stops.
Thoughts?
Yea...I agree. I noticed a few 3 and 4 day gaps between shows that I didn't see on previous tours. The one exception is Seattle which are back to back.
If any follow-up countries are announced it will probably be around the time the U.S. tour begins.
Supposed to "hear something" around 9:00 am today (East coast time). Everybody ready for the great news??

Today I received refunds in full for both Lucca and Napoli from my credit card company.
Apparently they refuted the promoters arguments that they were just abiding by the"law"!!! Never again D'A e G scammers! Hope you go out of business after you refund everyone!
Did you buy your tickets from TicketOne? Did you request a voucher or what did you write to them that they gave you refunds?
I bouhgt through Ticketone.it. I did send in the forms for the voucher, too. I kept a detailed record of all my e-mails to Ticketone and D'A e G with their arrogant replies and sent copies to my credit card company, PayPal as well as making a nuisance more than daily of myself to the European Central bank and trade commisssion. In essence I made it known to both Ticketone and D'A e G that I was not going to let this matter go without full refunds. In the end the credit card company sided with me and I think D'A e G got tired of dealing with me. That as well as the decree being changed this week. So keep pestering them! Be a pain in their arse if necessary.
That's great news...Congrats!!
FRESHEN UP EUROPEAN SUMMER TOUR CANCELLED
Due to the current global situation Paul and his team have been forced to cancel the forthcoming European tour dates. Given current and future work commitments it has not been possible to find alternative dates.
“We were looking forward to seeing you all this summer for what we know would have been much fun. The band and I are so sorry we can’t be with you, but these are unprecedented times and the wellbeing and safety of everyone is the priority. I hope you are all keeping well as we look forward to the brighter times ahead. We will rock again. Love Paul”

The other day I was delivering some supplies to a local hospital and had a chance to gab with a few nurses in the ER. I asked them if they had watched the music special. Most of them did see parts of it. I joked with them about not a mention about law enforcement or military (yes I am both) during the show. What touched me during this conversation was when one young nurse said, "that Beatle guy made me cry". Whoa. When I asked why, she simply said, "he showed pictures of us". Whoa, again. Thanks Paul.
Nice!! He's always been a class act!!
Similar performances and outfit...I really liked it!!

Come on Howard. Another generic interview with McCartney. As usual, nothing new and as usual not one question about Wings or his solo career. Just Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. The only interesting part of the interview was when Howard asked Paul why he just didn't continue The Beatles without Lennon. Other than that, IMO, the same old questions and answers.
Paul actually mentions cancelling his tour, and "hopefully rescheduling it for next year".
