Paul McCartney Concert

I just got home from seeing Paul McCartney in Dallas at American Airlines center. The show was AWESOME!! I had some doubts about section 328, being that far up, but once the show started, I was amazed that we could see everything, just at a distance. If we had gone any farther up, we probably would have needed oxygen.

The song selection was superb, especially when he pulled off the surprise tune from Ram. I've never heard him do any of that album live. 2 & 1/2 hours of mostly Beatle tunes, with some Wings and solo stuff thrown in for good measure. Paul switched off between bass, acoustic and electric guitar and of course, piano. The grand piano emerged onto the stage from a center platform that rose from beneath the stage...a very nice effect.

The lighting was just awesome, and from our vantage point, it was quite impressive. The video screens were real clear too. The stage looked like little crystal squares that would light up from inside and sometimes they projected images on it like another screen. The pyrotechnics on "Live & Let Die" were spectacular, but really loud.

The most touching moment came when Paul was telling a story and paused to ask the crowd to remember John, George and Linda. His request caused a standing ovation.

THANKS to BeatleChik71 for the great tickets!! You are a wonderful person and a true Macca Fan!! It was a pleasure to meet you!! Nice to know Beatle fans still look out for one another.

It truly was a "Beautiful Night."
