I went on Friday night, courtesy of a last-minute invite from in-laws. A little tough to be enthusiastic, musically, about seeing Paul McCartney, considering his output over the past 30+ years, but I was thrilled to be there for all of the obvious reasons & there's nothing wrong with a nostalgia/hits show. Since I didn't spend the money when he started touring again some 20 years ago, I figured my chance was gone to see him, so I'm glad for the opportunity. Outside of the ridiculousness of putting on a concert in a facility constructed for sporting events, I don't see how any fan of the Beatles or Paul McCartney could have any complaints. It was fun & a full set list, 2 hour set, etc.

I took a bunch of pictures, I'll try to post a couple soon. In the meantime...I found this kind of amusing:

"McCartney treated the audience to a soaring rendition of "Blackbird" which he stripped to a solo ballad arranged for acoustic guitar and voice."

Stripped?

Ugh.

A better review, including setlist:
