Paul is playing both weekends.

Also, the press release for the festival says this will be his only festival appearance in the US this year.

With him playing both weekends I would expect some other Texas shows during the week in-between.

Excellent show. I would rate it better than the 2014 show at Philips. Macca was in better voice than i was expecting. This is the smallest venue I have seen him in (11,500 capacity vs 20,000 for Philips). I think that helped the crowd as they were really into the concert. I was in the last row (D) of the second level, but only about 30-40 ft from stage. Would easily have been a $175+ ticket in a larger arena. Besides the young lady pictured above, he also had a family of 4 in full Pepper uniforms on stage. Adorable young girl who said she was nervous (Macca said so was he) and a special needs son who Macca let play his bass. Was glad to get the concert list I did as I had not seen Letting Go live and haven't seen Birthday since 1990.

including this because it mentions that multiple members of Macca's band were in attendance at the Bonnie Raitt/James Taylor concert that was last night at infinite Energy Arena. http://music.blog.ajc.com/2017/07/12/concert-review-james-taylor-and-bonnie-raitt-soothe-souls-in-duluth/

So RamblinRed, are you off that day or do you have to work? Marietta is like the other side of the world for me!

Actually, I need to change that, i'm up in Woodstock now, but I work downtown. I will be coming from Downtown that day - likely with my colleague who is also a big concert goer. We've seen Macca together in both Orlando and at Wrigley. We have individual tickets. If I can find 2 more for a decent price away from the stage then my son and wife will go as well. Glad to see that Rick appears to have recovered from his health troubles, he is a great guy - have known him for over 20 yrs - used to see him at Sea of Timeless Records.

Ha! I just checked and Frontera is only 0.4 miles from the arena. There is also an Italian restaurant right there by Kroger if you guys don't want Mexican.

Frontera is good. I tend to eat light before concerts so that would work for me.

I emailed another friend but haven't heard back yet, but let's just plan to get there around 1 pm. You and I will of course be talking off and on between now and July 13th! (We just today spent over 2 hours at Culver's eating and talking! Betcha can't guess what/who about!)

Being a WI native, having Culver's now in GA is a dream for me. Butter Burgers, cheese curds and custard, YUMM!!!!

Feeling a little conflicted this morning. I did manage to snag one ticket - an $89 - came to 106.35 with fees. But my son really wanted to go, so I will have to keep looking for 2 for my wife and son. I was actually both online and called directly to the ticket office. Got through to the ticket office first. I was on a rep in the ticket office at 10:01 and they had nothing but singles left at 10:02 in both the $59 and $89 sections. That was always going to be the issue at infinite - it's a small arena and looking at the seating chart very few Tickets for less than 175. But I just couldn't swing $400 for a couple of tickets right now.

Glad you will at least be in the house. What section and row?

208, row D. Actually, that should be pretty close to the stage - just on th side. Funny enough, this will be my 14th Macca concert and I think it is the first time i've ever been on the Hamish/Brian side of the stage. Going to keep looking and see if I can eventually get 2 more for my wife and son as the concert gets closer. Unfortunately if you wanted multiple tickets it was basically impossible unless you wanted to pay for the good seats. My son has sensory issues so tickets close to the stage would be not what he would want.

I'm keeping on eye on it, but I also have Billy Joel tonight so only a couple more hours i'll be near a computer today.

Try again Monday. If I don't get tickets this will be the first Macca concert in Atlanta I haven't attended since he started touring in 1990. Really hope to get at least 2 tickets on Monday so I can take my son, but have to stay less expensive for this one and there are only so many of those seats.

Yep, i'll be trying again this morning. Hoping for 3. Need at least 2.
