In the Tour section: I checked to see if Soldiers Field had been corrected to Soldier Field (Chicago) for July 29, 1990 (last date of that tour). It is now not listed at all, and the two previous shows at Foxborough need to be added back in as well. Thanks!

RE: New contest to win tix to any of Paul's North American shows
Boy, if I had to keep it under 150 miles, I would have never seen able to Paul anywhere, ever....!!

Yeah, detachable lens, I know -- my fault! (Even though I didn't have an additional lens with me.) I didn't see Brian again until Live and Let Die, so I can't fault him. He's always seemed pretty nice to everybody. The lens didn't even make it in the door in Indy. I'm not buying another camera -- so I'm free of the worry for Chicago and just enjoying the show(s)!

RE: Chicago, IL, United Center, July 9, 2014 - ARCHIVE
At the last St. Louis show, I was two seats away from the very end of the first row. If I was to do it again, I would go for the $1500 seat a couple rows back to get a better view. Even though Paul's Scottish head of security (can't come up w/ his name right now...) told the local security guy my camera was fine, he decided on his own after the show started that it wasn't. So for a total of $4000 (not including travel costs, hotel, food, etc.), I didn't get a single photo of Paul. And the security guard stood in front of me the whole time.

RE: Who Gets The Front Row Center Tickets? Friends, Charities?
I just have to comment on this topic! I was recently at the St. Louis show in November and finally paid the big bucks for the front row (side) package. A curious fan next to me walked over to the center section front row and asked them how they got their tickets. Every person in the front center had been chosen from the nosebleed seats -- and not all were young and busty (believe me, in the past I've noticed that!). It made me happy that random people got a great surprise that evening...

RE: Des Moines Thread - ARCHIVE
Just got back from Des Moines... WOW what a great show. I was at Milwaukee earlier this week & this show was so, so much better. My mom & I have seen Paul together quite a few times & everything about this show was great. The acoustics were perfect & the crowd was really into it (well... I'd be on my feet dancing every second, so I have to put that into perspective with all the other types of people at a Macca show.) I also have to admit that I was disappointed at first with the setlist (a few more Wings...), but when I heard it all put together....there's a little something for everyone, isn't there??? I really wanted to thank Des Moines for making the experience too -- even the little things like the banners outside the stadium. And seeing Paul drive in to the stadium....then 15 minutes later back in the hotel room seeing Paul (and myself) on the local news was great. The news was about half Paul & half "everything else" later on that night during the 1000 news. (If anybody taped all the local coverage, I'd be willing to trade/pay for a copy of the tape!) Even the next day, Paul got front page coverage in the newspaper. I really, really am convinced the name McCartney will be right up there with Chopin, Mozart, etc. when time recounts all of history's musical geniuses. Thank you, Paul, for continuing to tour & let us hear your music live! Nicole in Illinois P.S. Paul said, before "Follow Me" something like, "I'd like to dedicate this next song to my wife & my daughter who's birthday is tomorrow."

RE: Des Moines Thread - ARCHIVE
I'm wondering too if anyone else was aware of the Des Moines presale. Who ended up with the tickets then if all of us (with passwords) were unaware? I'm in section 104 too & that was within the first 3 seconds of the public sale. I missed the Chicago presale (at the hospital with my husband), so I thought I'd get better seats in Des Moines. I'm so glad that Paul tried this presale thing, but for me anyway, it seemed very, very disorganized & the information was too slow getting to us. Must say I prefer the old-fashioned paper & envelope.
