I'm going to see Sir Paul this summer!

[[Your Worst Nightmare]]

Wow, I haven't been on Gaia in a looong time.
Anyway, Paul McCartney is playing a concert in my city this summer, and I've got tickets! When I got them I was so happy I cried... I can't believe it.

Discuss:
What would it mean to you to see one of (or all of) The Beatles live?

 

[practicallyzen]

FUUUUUUUUCK. I am so jealous it hurts.

I would cry so much if I saw any of them live. How could I not? Their music has made such an incredible impact on my life. And if it were possible to see all of them...well, I'd just be trying like hell not to turn into one of those screaming girls because I would want to be able to hear the music, but seriously. I don't even know.  

[HistoryWak]

I'm soooo jealous!!! I hope you have a blast!! Be sure to let us know how it went. biggrin

@Peace So Static: I saw Paul live in 2005. It was amazing. There were fire blasts for live and let die, the entire audience chanting to Hey Jude, light effects to the songs, and it was just awesome! It was great hearing all the songs I've heard on CDs, records, radio, etc being sung live by the artist himself.

Here's my Paul in concert experience:

I love that set list.  

[[Your Worst Nightmare]]

It was fantastic. I was hoping he'd sing Silly Love Songs, but I can't complain.

 

[The Lover of Wonderland]

Wow, lucky you! Have fun!!  

[beatlefan2009]

Did you take any pictures? I'm not a big fan of Pauls Solo stuff, but I would still give almost anything to see him in concert!  

[I_luv_Beatles]

there is a tribute band for The Beatles called Rain,I saw them on tv they kinda look like them and they kinda sound like them.when my mom first saw it she thought it was The Beatles and she grew up in the sixties.Anyway they are coming to my town and I am hoping to get ticket,crossing my fingers.  

[Sazzie Lotus Song]

I wish I could see Sir Paul.
One of the things I want to do that is on my life's list of things to do, is walk down Abbey Road where the Beatles once walked for their album, Abbey Road.
Peace and Love,
Sazzie heart
