Hi gang,

Just getting back from the show and getting my photos together. Another good show but lacked the energy of the New York shows.
Not that Paul and band didn't deliver, they most certainly did. There just was much less audience banter on this stop. Two major changes was of course the addition of Washington D.C. being the first city that the Beatles played a concert in and a tribute to Michelle Obama by playing "Michelle" last time did in 2007 in Paris and the 2nd Half of the Driving USA tour. Set list other than that was basically the same.
Point and shoot cameras were allowed in despite some employees in the parking lot telling myself and others that no cameras of any kind would be allowed in. We were early and decided to try anyway and got it in with no problem. For the most part, they didn't bother people unless the cameras were held up constantly. It was also very a muggy night.
Also during "Hey Jude" instead of asking the men to sing first, started with the people in the back and then to the men and finally to the women. Can't think of anything else of note to report...

<<and a tribute to Michelle Obama by playing "Michelle" last time did in 2007>>>

Gee, I notice "Taxman" is missing from the set list.

Would have been a nice tribute to Michelle's husband....

isnt that the chick who had a hissy fit in here and vowed to never return???....

interesting mix of songs for sure..some I would have loved to hear...some I could have done without...I was always more of a John Lennon fan than a Paul McCartney fan anyway,,..John was a rebel...Paul was corporate

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

The last line ever recorded by the Beatles and one of my favorite quotes of all time.

and a great line to remember, Jeanette!

"I was always more of a John Lennon fan than a Paul McCartney fan anyway,,..John was a rebel...Paul was corporate."


Ditto! Never could imagine shelling out the $$$ for Sir Paul....sounds like it was a great show, though.

I dont know how my father managed to get it...but he was working at EWR the night Customs confiscated all the "Two Virgins" album covers with John and Yoko naked on both sides of the album jacket...I still have it..wonder what that little gem is worth?...although seeing Yoko naked is not good for the stomach

Anybody see McCartney on Letterman a couple of weeks ago, where he and his band were were set up on top of the marquee of the Ed Sullivan. They did a couple of songs, it was amazing .....McCartney looked and sounded pretty darn good!
