Finally a dream come true. Seeing Paul after 22 Years of being a beatles fan. Unfortunately }{eywood had to bounce out of this one, but that turned out to be a blessing as we were seated on bleachers and there wasn't any legroom. I was fortunate enough to have some stretching room. The people around me were pretty quiet: the guy on the right seeming completely uninterested and most likely on a date; the woman on my left was quiet excep for joining me in crying during Maybe I'm Amazed. The setlist was a complete surprise as it was different from the previous setlist 2 days before, Pefrormance wise the band was at the to of their game, and Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums was particularly fun to watch as he is always into it and having the time of his life every show.

As for the man himself, his constant pausing betwen songs to soak up the cheers which must have been boring after 10 minutes in 1963, seemed to shop the show dead in its tracks every two minutes. His voice is a bit rough, with a wide wobble to it, but he did his best, and hey he played for 3 straight hours! Blown away! Pretty good for a 75 yr old guy.

Checked off the bucket list.
