Enjoy the show.

Last time I saw him live was in late 1963 and I was mildly impressed.

I remember that Jerry Lee Lewis who perfomed the following week (at twice the ticket cost) was a much better deal.

Enjoy the concert. I've never seen him play before, but he is one I'd like to see.
Does he tend to play many beatles songs or keep it mostly to his solo stuff?

The close to three hours includes music from all era's. However not too many from the earliest Beatle years. He always plays I Saw Her Standing There and he'll usually play Yesterday.

Saw him in 2011, very good. His voice then went a bit off, like at the Olympics he was sounding very poor. Interested to know how he is sounding now.

GREAT CONCERT! ~ All-In-All he sounded good. There were a few times his voice was straining and his other band members seemed to be backing up or singing in tandem with him a lot too.

No Rolex on Paul's wrist... No watch at all.

Played some Beatles, Wings and new songs! We knew the words to almost all of them and everyone sang along.

I don't know if he owns any Rolex for sur, but he does own a PP 5167. When I saw him in concert it didn't appear that he wore a watch.

I saw him twice in the last ten years, most recently 3 years ago. He is an amazing performer and I would see him again if he comes around again!

Good to hear his voice has recovered somewhat and his backs are helping him more now too by the sound of it.

Did you get to do the Hey Jude "Na-na-na-naaaaaaaaaaaa" sing-a-long? :)

Concert was SOLD Out! Petco Park is the SD Padres baseball stadium. There were approximately 42,0000 people!

I am accustom to being a lot closer at concerts but we were lucky to get seats.

Saw him last year and by far the best music show I have ever seen. Not to be missed while he is still performing.

I've seen Sir Paul several times over the years in several different venues. The most recent time was in July. Amazing show, every time. He doesn't just come out and play, he tells great stories during the show. His daily "beater" is a Patek Aquanaut 5167.
