Yikes! I remember in 2006 when it was "only" 99 pence/litre! And I thought that was an outrageous price, since there are 3.785 litres in a gallon.

That means it is $8.14/gallon!! (Your price was listed in U.S. $, right?)

$2.15 Cdn. per litre. It's crazy; especially if you drive a pickup & commute a distance for work.

Maybe this is grasping at straws but couldn't help but notice the preconcert music in Knoxville on Tuesday night  included With A Little Luck and what really stood out, the  unreleased Waterspout.  I am sure the later will make a fine addition to the LT bonus disc.

maybe an announcement coming n late October for pre-Christmas release?  LT and Egg Deluxe!

I'm sure the pair of them will be released later this year; I've got that gut feeling.

I was at my local Target store on Monday, to purchase a Beatles CD, and was surprised there were only two small display shelves of CDs... I asked the store clerk where more were, and was told Target was phasing out selling CDs and DVDs because more people are getting music and movies from streaming and download services.

Wanted to ask if anyone has noticed this at their local Target stores, and if this is the beginning of a new trend?

I only buy CDs and DVDs from Amazon. Haven't been to Target in ages.

I usually order from Amazon too.  It would make sense that retail stores aren't carrying CDs that much if everyone is ordering online.

Except that most people resorted to Amazon because Best Buy, WalMart and Target and any and all other retail stores stopped carrying CDs.  Borders used to exist and they had a huge selection of CDs...then they went out of business in the Washignton D.C. area, so.....

It's like, what came first, the chicken or the egg?

I'm so sad that my Target and my Walmart has been phasing out CD's. Don't prefer buying online and returns are costly. Covid must have had something to do with it too.

I don't think I've ever returned a CD I purchased online. One time a Ringo one came damaged and they asked for photos of it and replaced it. Didn't have to return it to Amazon!

The last music store I set foot in a few years ago had very few cd's; perhaps more vinyl & are focused on merchandise like tee's, posters, music books etc. My most recent instore purchase was vinyl McCartney 3 to complement my original 1 & 2. As we all know cd's /dvd's days are numbered. My last online cd purchase was  the most recent (seems ages ago) was the latest Macca Archive.  I've never had to return a cd/dvd but Amazon is good at returns & pay for the shipping on a few items we've purchased.

Let's hope that his set list will be songs that he can sing comfortably w/ his strained vocals. It would be fantastic if a good portion of the set will be from Egypt Station & III. I agree w/ the same old stories but after all he's old & like my parents they repeat themselves & that's alright. I hope those attending the concerts won't have high expectations & as the tour progesses we'll hear how his voice holds up.

I'm worried about Glasto on that front, Paul is already pretty passe in UK media, if he croaks his way through songs he sang well in 2004, it'll be a bad next day in the press. But hopefully it's a better outcome than that.

Paul is well insulated in that he has the best band he's ever assembled help him through the songs; along w/ the crowd screaming/singing along.

I am sure the crowd will be pumped especially being the city that opens the tour. I hope and pray Paul's voice is still decent enough to carry a 2  1/2 hour show.  While I do not expect huge amount of changes in the set list, I do hope it is more than just adding a couple of songs from "McCartney III'.  My other hope (lol) that after being away from touring for a couple of years Paul has some different stories to tell the audience -lol.  Anyway, for those attending have a great time !! I will be looking for some youtube clips tomorrow.

We donated $500 to the Canadian Red Cross & the government is matching all donations up to 10 million dollars for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Since we're not going to see Paul this tour; this was the least we could do.

Back in the mid 90's I decided to buy stock in Suncor & Exxon because oil companies are very powerful & you can't beat them. I thank all those Canadians who purchase their fuel at Petro Canada as well as a special thanks who drive gas guzzling vehicles.

This question came to me yesterday after looking up Ram On the Paul MCCartney Project  website.  This is a great site documenting all his albums, concerts, songs, since his earliest days.  For each song, there is a graph of each year done and then listing of concerts or sound checks where performed.  I saw him do Ram On in Charlotte in 2010, watched it on youtube yesterday.  This question hit me and I added up13 concerts where it has been done. Tons of sound checks but I didn't count those,

So, for me, it has to be Ram On, although Mull of Kintyre must be close to it. How about you?  Anyone catch Come and Get It which has to be a rare one as I think he did it at some European dates 10 or so years ago. Anyone see something like The Mess live in the early Wingsdays fifty years ago?

Hete's hoping for the nclusion of something never played live before during the Got Back tour,

He's played "Mull of Kintyre" evreytime that I've seen him; it's a Canadian thing. So far there's been no Canadian dates set for the upcoming tour. Fingers crossed & ready to blow the entertainment budget.
