I was able to watch them on my PC, but was much smoother on my tablet using the jaunt app.

RE: Gold Package vs Silver Package vs $250 ticket?
Ro_McCartney:
Thanks everyone for their advice. I ended up buying a Gold Package for $700, A4 row 13, seats 21 and 22 (seating chart: http://m.mlb.com/cardinals/tickets/info/mccartney#vip-packages)..) I hope it's a good seat for that amount of money. Rodrigo
I'm pretty sure these will be great seats. To me, being center is best, and A4 is center! Good luck and hope you enjoy the show!!

RE: Sacramento, CA Pre-Sale Thread
Don't wait for another pre-sale if you want gold or hot sound. There are still some available.

RE: VIP Package Questions
I'm with the group that feels being center is more important than front row. First of all, Paul is usually in the center and the robotic video cameras are very annoying on the sides. You'd think sitting right of center would give you a good view of him at the piano, but I've yet to find that true. He's so far back that if you're too close, it's very difficult to even see him! And often Brian blocks your view of Paul. Study the seating chart carefully before tickets go on sale. Maybe even make notes of acceptable seat locations for each price tier. It's sometimes hard in the heat of the moment to make a good decision so I find this helps a lot. Latest show I gave up 3rd row to the side (+ soundcheck) in favor of 8th row dead center "gold". I was very happy with this decision. Saved me tons of money and I loved my seat!

RE: Seattle, WA - Key Arena - April 17th - ARCHIVE
To those of you who are criticizing his voice, were you at the Seattle concert? Or even Portland or Fresno? If not, in my opinion you have no right to judge. If you weren't there, you don't know how he sounded. I can only base my judgement on the Fresno show, which I attended. I thought he sounded great for Paul at this point in time. No he didn't sound like he did when he was 24, 44 or 64. But he still sounded great to me. If any of you personally attended the Seattle show, I welcome your first hand experience & comments.

Did anyone else notice his shirt? I remember before there was a fly on them, this one looked like it said Paul or PMC or something? None of my pictures with it showing are clear enough for me to be certain.
I have some close ups which I have also viewed enlarged, and there was nothing on his shirt. It did have piping around the edges. I also noticed that when his shirt was unbuttoned that it showed off his chest very nicely. *swooning* (but no hair!!) I was 4 rows in front of you. My "cry" song was "And I Love Her" because it reminds of the scene in A Hard Day's Night when he sings it, with the camera VERY close up. Sounds like you had as great a time as I did!!
I thought maybe I dreamed it, so went back to my pics. Most of the time his guitar/strap is covering it, but you can see it when he's playing the uke. Still not sure how to post a picture here, but created a picasa album with the 4 pics and here's the link: https://picasaweb.google.com/118035311194925515930/PaulFresnoShirt?authkey=Gv1sRgCIHX1_Cv9MOD4AE It's near his belt buckle -- don't judge me

RE: Fresno, CA - Save Mart Center - April 13th - ARCHIVE
I chose to go with a gold seat, row 8, perfectly center. I was very happy with my choice, I did soundcheck once before so don't feel the need to do it again if I can get a great seat at a much lower price. Also, not going to soundcheck allowed me to be at "limo-watch" which was really fun. Smallish crowd (30 or so), the driveway was pretty narrow so he was really close to us and the driver went slow so we each got our moment of eye contact! I didn't have any problems with security personnel, they were very polite and were shining flashlights on the floor to help anyone see if they got up during the show (not me!) Apparently they weren't so nice in other parts of the arena Some people a few rows in front of me were constantly holding up signs and when someone behind me complained security very nicely asked them to stop. And they did up until the end, but unfortunately I missed the entire final bow from the group due to the signs. I screamed with delight when I heard the first chord of Hard Days Night, thought it was a great opener. Loved the new additions, especially Love me Do. Enough changes to the setlist since I last saw him (last summer in Europe) to keep it interesting for me. Loved the new set/background designs. I normally don't see much except for Paul, but they were really bright, different and eye catching so I actually noticed. In fact at one point I was entranced by the background lights and kind of zoned out, then when I refocused on Paul it appeared he was looking straight at me (this happens a lot when you're dead center). I put my hand up to my mouth like Oh! and I swear he smiled then looked elsewhere. It was probably my imagination but it gave me a thrill. My favorite though was the smaller looking retro stage for those 3 songs. For some reason I got really emotional during Maybe I'm Amazed, almost cried. Being inside, pyro was not as good for Live & Let Die of course. I was disappointed by no confetti (paulfetti). The new "super magic" piano was very cool. It changed design/colors & displayed video during Lady Madonna. Overall he looked & sounded awesome. I was listening to Back in the US on the drive down, so the change in his voice was a little more noticable to me this time. But change happens and he still belts them out like the rock star he is. Not to mention his talent, energy and stamina. Did anyone else notice his shirt? I remember before there was a fly on them, this one looked like it said Paul or PMC or something? None of my pictures with it showing are clear enough for me to be certain. Great performance, great sound, great venue. I have to give it an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Would love to hear more from others who attended!

RE: New Stage Design 2016 (SPOILER ALERT)
kitty55d:
it was a screen to make the stage appear smaller. They had a smaller drum kit for abe nearer the front. Made it more intimate to look like the early days
I have a picture now, but no idea how to post it here!

Limo greeting was very cool as well was seeing old friends and making new ones. Paul actually sounded pretty darn good but I saw the concert from a strange and new vantage point for me - no one in front of me but I was on the side of the stage, right by Paul's piano. There did seem to be some echo, but that might have been due to my locale. Lots of good butt shots, saw Abe drinking red wine,slipped and fell at one point....ouch. Not inferring it was due to the wine, but oh, the things you see at that level! I had a very unfortunate fan experience because of a horrible woman in back of me, yelling at me to sit down during normal applause and a security person who watched me like a hawk. Guess I looked sketchy to them....lol. I enjoyed the opener and Love Me Do and have never ever left a McCartney concert early, but I was being harassed so badly, I left early. Just say NO to FresNO. Hope the rest of the shows continue to kick butt.
Going to get you a new shirt "Sketchy Barb" Seriously, sorry you had such an experience. At least Paul was spot-on and you know the next show will be better for you!!

RE: Fresno, CA - Save Mart Center - April 13th - ARCHIVE
Sounds like it will be a somewhat late sound check. Thinking limo-watch will be around 5? Meeting my cousin for happy hour nearby, not sure yet if I should bail around then or just stay...

RE: Fresno, CA - Save Mart Center - April 13th - ARCHIVE
What time do you have to check in for sound check?

RE: Fresno, CA - Save Mart Center - April 13th - ARCHIVE
There are now more tickets available for Fresno via Ticketmaster. For those of you who didn't get anything early, try, try again!

RE: Paul McCartney 2016 Rumors
pierceedge:
I figure it is probably revisiting markets from the Up and Coming to Out There tours and playing arenas where he played stadiums and playing Stadiums where he played arenas. He's doing arenas (and an amphitheater) in Seattle, Vancouver, and Milwaukee, where he did stadiums between 2012 and 2013, and he's playing Busch where he did an arena in 2012.
I like this idea! SF area has been AT&T park, Outside Lands & Candlestick. He's due for an arena in the area -- I vote for San Jose!!!!!

RE: Fresno, CA - Save Mart Center - April 13th - ARCHIVE
Excited at my house! I'm working on my sign, haven't done one before so it's my first Would have picked a closer venue to start with but I can make it to Fresno so I'm happy. Wonder what changes he'll make from "out there" tour, and I hope I notice. Often I'm so mesmerized just watching him that I don't notice the backgrounds or a minor change in the setlist. Adding a song he hasn't done since 2002 would probably capture my attention

To my knowledge so far, all US ticket sales were through Ticketmaster, not Crowdsurge.

If the Vegas concert rumors turn out to be true, when in July is the 10th anniversary of Love? Only answer I could find online was that it was hitting the 10 year mark in July, so no actual approximate dates of when they were celebrating.
The red carpet premiere when everyone turned up was June 30th.
Thanks! I'm hoping if it DOES happen it will be around that same time. I may have a shot at going to that one.
The LOVE premier gala was 6/30/06. The 5th anniversary gala was 6/8/11. The recent articles state the 10th anniversary gala will be sometime in July. Since Paul has Europe shows in June, my guess is the gala will be early in July.
